The American missionaries to the Nestorians have now published the Old Testament in the Ancient and Modern Syriac. It forms an imperial quarto of 1051 pages. It is printed in parallel columns; one being the old Peschito Version, and the other a Translation from the Hebrew. It was printed at Orûmiah, with type prepared at Orûmiah, by Mr. E. Breath, Missionary Printer. The whole Bible is now given to the Nestorians, in their vernacular language reduced to writing, by their missionaries. The New Testamert is printed in the same style with the Old, and forms a quarto of 829 pages. Both the volumes are a monument to the worth of the admirable scholars engaged in the Nestorian mission, and to the literary as well as religious value of the missionary enterprise in general.

An interesting 18mo. work of 132 pages has just been published by Gould and Lincoln, entitled: A Parisian Pastor's Glance at America. By Rev. J. H. Grand Pierre, D.

Schools and Colleges. III. Theological Faculties. IV. Churches. V. Religious and Benevolent Societies. VI. Various Facts and Observations. VII. More Observations, and Various Facts. VIII.

For some time past we have been intending to notice a very interesting work, entitled: On Civil Liberty and Self-Government, by Francis Lieber, LL. D., C. M. French Institute, etc. In two volumes. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Grambo and Co. 1853. Our limits compel us to defer a review of this work until a future period. Meanwhile we append an imperfect cata

logue of the books and pamphlets already published by the learned author of the volume just named. His German publications, as his Journal in Greece, his Poems, etc., we do not include in the present list, nor all of his American works: Encyclopedia Americana. — On the Penitentiary System. Carey and Lea, 1833. Stranger in America (English title), or Letters to Gentlemen (American title). London, 1835. Philadelphia, 1834. — Reminiscences of an Intercourse with Niebuhr. London, 1835.

Messrs. Little, Brown and Company have published, in two volumes, 8vo., the "Works of Fisher Ames, with a Selection from his Speeches and Correspondence. Edited by his son." A collection of Mr. Ames's Works, in one volume, accompanied by a brief Memoir, was published in 1809. It is grati fying to see this new monument to one of the eminent men of our country. The fourth Part of Schoolcraft's History of the Indian Tribes of the United States has appeared. It contains forty-one steel engravings. Though this work is attended with great expense, and on that account has given occasion to some complaint, it is an honor to our government and our country.

"The Belief of the first three centuries concerning Christ's Mission to the Underworld, by Frederic Huidekoper," has just been published by Messrs. Crosby, Nichols and Company, Boston, 12mo. pp. 187. The Underworld Mission-was a very prominent subject among the early Christians, but has been almost entirely neglected by the principal writers on Ecclesiastical History. The work shows careful research, and the views of the early Christians are brought together in this little volume in a concise and conve

nient form. The author's chief object in writing the book is an incidental argument for the genuineness of the Gospels in opposition to those who hold that these did not exist, in their present form, till the close of the second or beginning of the third century, and that they were either fabricated by the early Christians, or prepared to meet their views. If such were the case, is it reasonable to suppose that they would have omitted from these Gospels so prominent an article in their belief as the mission of Christ to the lower world is known to have been? The inference is, that the Gospels were not the work of the early Christians.

We have from the press of Messrs. Farmer, Brace and Company, New York, "Human Physiology, designed for Colleges and higher classes in Schools, and for general reading," in one volume, 12mo. pp. 389. By Prof. Worthington Hooker, M. D., of Yale College. This new work on Physiology evinces the growing interest in this department of study. It is free from most of the technicalities often found in similar works; it gives just and reliable views of the subject of which it treats, and is well adapted to make the study pleasant and profitable.

A new edition of the Writings of the elder President Edwards is now in course of preparation for the press. The edition published by the late Dr. Sereno Edwards Dwight cannot now be obtained at the bookstores, and the other editions of President Edwards's Works are too imperfect to satisfy the thorough student. The new edition will contain all that has been heretofore published of the President's writings, and also any new matter from his MSS. which the editors may deem suitable for the press. All that he gave to the public during his life, will be printed in the new edition precisely as he left it; his own editions, of course, being the standard. For all that has been published since his death, the original editions will be the standard; and no changes will be made except in those instances in which important variations may be found in the MSS. In all hitherto unpublished materials, the Mss. will be rigidly followed. All the mss. left by the President will be carefully examined, and it is hoped that the new edition will contain all which the admirers of the author will desire to see, and nothing which they will deem unworthy of publication. We hope that this enterprise will stimulate the friends of other eminent divines who have left important contributions to theological science, to prepare these contributions for the press. We need uniform editions of our American treatises on ethics and divinity. The history of our literature demands them. A complete edition of the works of Dr. Dwight we should be happy to see made accessible to our students.
