Wm. Roscher, of Göttingen, has published one volume of his 'Olio, or Contributions to the History of the Historical Art,' embracing the Life, Writings and Times of Thucydides. This will be followed by a second treatise of Herodotus and Xenophon, and a third on the great Roman Historians. This work must be of great value to classical scholars. Plato's Staat übersetzt von K. Schneider, (Plato's Republic, translated by K. Schneider,) is spoken of in the highest terms.— Prof. W. A. Becker's "Manual of Roman Antiquties," accompanied with a plan of Rome, has recently issued from the press.-Three parts of Umbreit's Commentary on the Prophets of the Old Testament have already appeared; and the fourth and last, containing all the minor Prophets, is in process of publication. Alexander Von Humboldt, aged 72, is preparing a physical description of the Earth, about to be published by Cotta, entitled "Cosmus."
A Volume of the "Histoire littéraire de la France" has been recently published, containing biographical notices of the French Troubadours. The first volume of this work first appeared in 1733.-The library of the late Charles Nadier, consisting of a choice collection of beautiful old books, although small, sold for 68,000 francs. So much for rare works.
Cardinal Pacca's collection of papers and letters, marked by him "for publication," have been sent to his relatives, and will probably be suppressed. They are said to contain some confidential correspondence between himself and Frederick the Great. A memoir of Rosellini has been prepared by his friend D. Guiseppe Bardilli.— Eight volumes of Angel Mao's "Spicilegium Romanum" have appeared; the remaining two will soon be out. Here are to be found interesting documents illustrative of the middle ages, from Greek, Latin and Italian MSS. in the Vatican.
Becker's "Gallus, or Roman Scenes of the time of Augustus," has been translated and published in London. This work will be valua
ble to classical scholars and readers of Roman history, as illustrating Roman manners and customs. The "Letters and Official Documents of Mary Stuart" are soon to be published. They amount to 700, collected from original MSS., and are written in English, Scotch, Latin, and Italian. Two numbers of "The North British Review" have appeared and give promise of great excellence. Such men as Sir David Brewster, Drs. Chalmers and Welsh, Mr. Hallam, etc. are among the contributors.
Professor Woolsey, of Yale College, is preparing for the press an edition of Plato's Crito & Phædo; and Prof. Champlin, of Waterville, a translation of Kühner's Elementary Latin Grammar.

Divine Agency and Government to-
gether with Human Agency and
Freedom, by Leonard Woods, D.
D.-(Continued from Vol XI. p.
137)-410. We are accountable
beings as clearly as we are intelli-
gent beings 410. Because there
is only one supreme cause it does
not follow that there are no secon-
dary causes 412. The state of
dependence is not inconsistent
with just accountableness to a
moral government 413. Free ac-
countable agency is learned from
consciousness 414. Cause and
Effect 415. Understanding of the
terms 416. Unwillingness of some
writers to apply the words cause
and effect to the determinations
and actions of moral agents 418.
A rational being acts rationally in
causing or originating his own
acts, he must do it under rational
influence, of motives addressed to
the mind 420. Many of the acts
of the mind are not controlled by
the Will 421. Good men love God
not because they will to love him,
but because they see him lovely
and glorious 422. The goodness
or badness of man's character, is
manifested by the spontaneous ex-
ercise of his affections 424.
