Railway Economy; a Treatise on the New Art of Transport, With an Exposition of the Practical Results of the Railways in Operation in the United Kingdom, on the Continent, and in America. By Dionysius Lardner, D. C. L. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1 vol. 12mo.
This is a very interesting account of the whole system of railways, written by a person who understands it in its facts and principles. The author has collected a vast amount of information, which he conveys in a condensed and comprehensible form. The motto of the work is one of Bacon’s pregnant sentences: “There be three things make a nation great and prosperous: a fertile soil, busy workshops, and easy conveyance of men and things from one place to another.”

Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution. By Benson J. Lossing.
The Harpers have just commenced the issue of this beautiful work, which is to be completed in twenty numbers. The mechanical execution is very neat, and the wood engravings, from sketches by the author, are admirable. Mr. Lossing writes with ardor and elegance, his mind filled with his themes, and boiling over at times into passages of descriptive eloquence. The book, when completed, will contain an account of the localities and action of all the battles of the Revolution, illustrated by six hundred engravings. The enterprise deserves success.

A Discourse on the Baconian Philosophy. By Samuel Tyler, of the Maryland Bar. Second Edition Enlarged. New York: Baker & Scribner. 1 vol. 12mo.
This work is very creditable to American literature as a careful and learned Discourse on a large subject, demanding a knowledge not only of Bacon but of Plato and Descartes. Mr. Tyler evinces a thorough comprehension of the externals of the subject, and few can read his book without an addition to their knowledge; but we think he misses Bacon’s method in his application of it to metaphysics and theology. The peculiar vitality of Bacon’s axioms he often overlooks in his admiration of their formal expression, and occasionally astonishes the reader by making Bacon commonplace, and then lauding the commonplace as the highest wisdom.
The Unity of the Human Races Proved to be the Doctrine of Scripture, Reason, and Science. By the Rev. Thomas Smith, D. D. New York: Geo. P. Putnam. 1 vol.
The Unity of the Human Races Proved to be the Doctrine of Scripture, Reason, and Science. By the Rev. Thomas Smith, D. D. New York: Geo. P. Putnam. 1 vol.
It is well known that Professor Agassiz, at the last meeting in Charleston of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, startled the audience with an expression of disbelief in the doctrine that all mankind sprung from one original parent. The present book, in some degree the result of his remark, takes strong ground in favor of the common faith on the point. It is worthy of attentive consideration from all readers, especially as it popularises the important subject of Races—a subject generally monopolized by technicalsavans; in unreadable books.
Arthur’s Gazette.—We take great pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the prospectus of Mr. Arthur’s newspaper, as set forth in full upon the cover of Graham for this month.
Mr. Arthur’s name is a household word the Union over; his stories have penetrated every village of the country, and are read with delight for their high moral tone and eminently practical character. The title is therefore very fitly chosen, and we shall be much mistaken if theHomeGazette is not welcomed from the start at thousands of firesides, as a chosen and familiar friend.
Capital—a very necessary article in starting a new enterprise—has, we are assured by Mr. Arthur, been abundantly secured, and with the editor’s industry and energy, there can be no such word as fail.
Mr. Arthur has discovered the true secret of success—to charge such a price as will really enable him to make a good paper—to make it so in all respects; and then toadvertiseso as to let the public know that he has a first-rate article for sale at a fair living price. If he allows no temptation oftemporarysuccess to seduce him from the just business ground thus assumed, he is as certain of ultimate and permanent prosperity, as he can be of any problem in mathematics. A simple business secret that a great many publishers we know of, have yet to learn.
