Smiles' larger work ,-is here republished in a condensed and cheaper , form , so as to bring it within the reacli of the mechanic , and make it a work for the general reader . the scientific detail contained in the former edition being wisely omitted .

The life of Stephenson is one long struggle . of genius practical over genius theoretical . -It ; . will teach our children that if they make , as Stephenson did , " Perseverance " their motto , there are very few things in this world that cannot be attained .

Tins is the 213 th number of an American Journal of merit . It contains a variety of articles , on grave subjects—such as Framjee ' s " Parseesj" M . Villemain ' s " Life of M .

The last two compose one artiole , entitled "The History and Doctrine of the Devil . " The sxibject may appear to many quaint , —perhaps * uncalled for . The mnnicheism , however , which the paper learnedly opposes , is only too prevalent . To Masson ' s " Life of Milton" a careful article is devoted ; and generally it may be said that the number shows diligent workmanship . Comprehensive History of England . Parts XIX . and XX . Maintain the character of the publication . The engravings are numerous and good .

" The narrative in question is copied from the New York Tribune , 12 th March , 1859 , and is reprinted to prove that " Uncle Tom ' s Cabin" was not composed of statements " absurd , exaggerated and unworthy of credit .

LOCAL ETYMOLOGY . TO THE EDITOtt OF " THE LEADER . " Sir , — Your correspondent , Mr . Charnock , according to old established precedent , proclaims his perfect indifference to everything a Reviewer may say of his-work , provided he will not misrepresent him ; Mr . Charnock being , I suppose , too angry to perceive that his very first charge has nothing to do with a misrepresentation of him , Mr . Charnock never said that the Gadc is a branch of the Colne . that it flows " through Watford : " though , if he had , I should certainly not have raised his objections , because they are not to the i . oint . The Gade is strictly , no doubt , not a branch , but a tributary of the Colne ; and as to its flowing through Watford , if that must necessarily mean through and among tho very houses of Watford , Mr . Charnock is right in his indignant denial . But as I was familiar with tho stream and locality long before I wrote my review , Mr . Charnock may rest assured that I never wns under any mistake on that point . The Gade flows through Lord Essex ' s park , and had once a ford over it within a mile of the town . This , and tho fact that " the Colno is so common a name for rivers as to have been ahnost generic , " is , I submit , at least as probable a ground for " Gadcford" n 3 Mr . Charnock gives for Watford . Mr . Charnock , of course , " believes " his derivation of " Woking" to bo " the corroct ono . " I believe that it is not , and for tho reasons I liavc given . . , As to "lien Piinlico , " and tho two origins of "Rnnnomflde , " Mr . Charnock pleads that tho first derivation , is not his , and the two others somebody else ' s ; but if ho will refer again ho will find that in the outset of my review , I warned the reader tluvt his book "lms « o original authority , and generally doos no inoro than report what tho commonest books of reference say upon tho subcot . " Mr . Charnook ' s plea would virtually bar all criticism of his work . A writer who trusts so implicitly to his " authoriti es , " is porfcc tly consfstont in sending mo to tho « History of Bucks " & c . for to derivations- of Tooley-streot and galt-hiu . jut as Mr . Pharnook himself Ifl only tho " History of Buoka" and tho " other authorities " ovor again , tho troubio is unnecessary As to general oharges , I must leave you and your rendors to judge botweon us . I am , Sir , Youre Reviewhr oip Mr . Ciiaunook ' s Work on Local Etymology , "
