It has at- tempted to exhibitand authenticate, on the wid- est scale, an administration of Christianity, in which there shall be no more syllable of rebuke for crimes that shock the morals sense of Chris- tendum.. The influence of the Tract Society has tended to make the Southern churches more timid and cowed in the presence of the imperious slave-trading interest. As aconsequence of this poliey--partly, but not exclusively--behold the SouTHeRN Apostacy!" In December 1844, a report of 'The " Com- F mittee of the Synod of New York and New Jer- sey, on the subject of the mutilations of books by the American Tract Soeiety," was published ; and in that report, the mutilations and omissions in the editions: published, by that Society, of D'Aubigne's History of the Great Reformation, were pointed out--besides, there are the omis- sicns and expurgations in other books published, as to the vile sin of Slavery, and the substitution of sentences other than the original.

W., March 20, 1855. 8 A HISTORY OF ALL NATIONS, EARLIEST PERIODS ta ab PRESENT TIME; OR UNIVERSAL HISTORY : + IN WHICH THE*HISTORY OF EVERY NATION, ANCIENT AND MODERN, IS SEPARATELY GIVEN. Illusiraicd by 70 Stylographic Maps and 700 Eingravings By S. G. GOODRICH, AUTHOR OF ' PICTORIAL GROGRAPHY OF THE WORLD, , {PARLEY'S CABINET LIBRARY,' ' PARLEY'S TALES,' &C, Complete in one imperial octavo volume, of more than twelve hundred pages of double column letter-press ; and upwards of seven hundred elegant illustrations, It is believed that a Universai History, suitable in form, extent, and arrangement, to the wants of the mass of American readers, has never been presented to the public. For this reason, and in compliance with numerous suggestions from those entitled to respect, the author has under- taken the formidable task of supplying one of a Popular character and for general use. A reader of history should always haves in mind. two things--viz., the place where, and the time when, an event happened. In the present 1 work.therefore, the greography of each country whose history is carefully given; and to aid the reader. seventy stylographic maps have been added. Careful attention, also, has been paid to Chrono- logy, so that, at every page and every chapter, 'the reader may find the dates of the events which are described. . ; In order to avoid the confusion which invevi- tably arises from embracing the whole history of mankind in a general chronological view, the author has adopted an ethnographic arrangement, by which he presents each nation separately. The advantages of this plan fora popular trea- tise, are obvious. The mind of the reader is not -overtasked by a boundless extent of view, nor bewildered by a perplexing multiplicity of ob- jects. On the contrary, everythnig is clear and distinct. . Events, instead of being forced out of their true place and connection, are presented in easy and natural succession, thus imparting to the work the attraction and interest of continuous narrative. Another advantage of the plan is, that it not merely admits, but invites descriptive de- tails, illustrative anecdotes, personal adventures and sketches of character, all of which serve not only 'to give life and effect to the pages of the his- torian, but to impart the colors of truth and reality to the pictures he may present. While the work thus presents aseparate and distinct history, and also exhibits the present state of every nation, ancient and modern, including the recent revolutions in Europe, still, for the purpose of showing how nations have acted upon or in- fluenced the destinies of one another, General Views are given, at'suitable periods, presenting the great movement of mankind, asone family, in its onward march from the past to the present time: Itis proper to state, that while the author promises -only a compilation, yet he has. en- deavored to. choose from the highest and best authorities; and while the work is. offered as a popular treatise, it still seeks to present the prac- tical. results of philosophic investigaton ; and finally, that while justice is rendered to the clas- sic ages, the whole work is written in the spirit of modren civilization--which places justice above power, prefers peace to war, and regards the Christian, rather than'the soldier, as thetrue hero of our race. The work is illustrated. with 700 engravings, designed rather for instruction than mere embel- lishment. Presenting views of Cities, monuments, coins, medals, portraits, weapons of war, vehi- cles for travelling, dress, religious rites and the manners and customs of ancient and modern times, | With a view to render it more valuable, | nological table is given, with a full index--con- taining upwards of fowr thousand historical and geographical names ;--thus rendering it a Cy- CLOPEDIA OF History, and. Universa. Gazer- TEER, available, for daily and familiar use, as a book of reference. ; The work is in one impeial octavo volume, containing 1200 royal 8vo. pages, in double. col- umns, and embraces as much printed matter as six or eight octavo volumes of ordinary ex- tent. : : AND IS BROUGHT DOWN TO THE YEAR 1854, The following is a notice of it from the Gostow Posts <3.) 2-2 Se gE. - Of the excellence and character of the compi- lation we have heretofore spoken, and can, there- fore, do little more at. present than to repeat our- selves. Not only the philosophy of history, but geology, geography, and astronomy, are discussed, at reasonable length, in the introductory chapters. Then comes a very interesting essay on physical and political geography, followed by a paper on the antediluvian and patriarchal ages. T'o this + succeeds the history of Asia and Africa, from the earliest: period to the present:time. "Then suc- ceeds, in order, the history of Europe and Ameri- ca.. In-every respect this " Universal History" is to be commended as a useful compilation. For students, as well as jor the general reader, it must prove highly attractive. The illustrations an- swer every purpose, and really illustrate the text. Although called a "history," and thereby ranked by some people with many a drowsy volume, we can assure our readers that they will | scarcely find a more readable book, than this under notice. The compiler isneither dull nor tedious. Efe does his work briefly and clearly, and, in addition to the historical facts, gives many curious anecdotes and statements regarding the manners, customs, social life, religion, govern- ment, costume, sports, amusements and employ- ments, of 'the different nations of the earth. We advise people to look at the publication. It is just the thing for the general reader, being neither deep, nor verbose, nor stupid. It it a compilation made with taste and skill, as well as with patience and labor." e ICE!

Without professing myself a believer in all varied departments of Phrenology, a Science to which I have given little or no attention, I yet have pleasure in acknowledging that, myself and family having submitted toan examination at the rsquest of Mr. Persons, he gave us, and that with great readiness, as far as I can judge, a very truthful description of our characters. Consci- ous defects were pointed out. Those faculties which needed cultivation, and those that had been improved and developed by particular pursuits of studies were named, in cases,where he could not have known what these were. As Mr. P, professes his belief in the atonement of Christ as the only ground of acceptance with God, and in the necessity of the influences of the Holy Spirit to regenerate the soul and to enable us to improve what is defective in us, and in the hope that it may be his object to become practi- cally acquainted with thest truths himself. and to cause their influencs to be felt in his teachings, I trust that he will meet with success in his classes. 2 Ai. 2 «= 5p JOHN ALEXANDER.

Poetry, Painting, Music, and Sculpture, etc., from the pens of our best writers, with choice selections from the leading periodi- eals of Europe, will form_a prominent feature. The great field ot SCIENCE, = in all its departments, will be explored, and all new discoveries laid before our readers in a popular torm. Tne ~Arrs, particularly in the departments of Agriculture, Mechanical Industry, and Manufactures, will receive attention, and no invention or improved process will escape our notice. * 3 AGRICULTURE &§ HORTICULTURE, in which so large-a portion of our people are en- gaged, will demand..at our hands special con- sideration. We shall endeavor to elevate still more the standard of MecHanicau Inpusrry, and to develop and bring to light the latent-talent and skill of our intelligent and worthy artisans. : _ PHYSIOLOGY and the Laws of Life, in their application to phy- sical development and the promotion of health will have a prominent place in our columns.

HE Undersigned proposes. exhibiting the - Diorama of Uncle Tom's Cabin, _ in the principal Cities, Towns, and Villages in the Northern States and Canada : and to accom- pany them with abundant evidence as to the truth- fulness of the facts assumed by the author, in the 'work known by that name, which will include the recital of some most mysterious and thrilling incidents in the history of his own family. The flight of his parents for freedom--their capture, and return to. slavery and their second flight; a history of their lost. boys, who were stolen and sold into slavery--the death of one of them, and the redemption of the other by the purchae of himself ; and the final purchase for the enormous sum of five thousand dollars. acs : The paintings, comprising the scenes of " Un- cle Tom's Cabin," are the production of an emi- nent French artist, and show as large as life, and represent the most prominent scenes and charac- ters in the work. In order to render our labors more effectual and create more general interest and benefit, we propose the following arrangements, viz:--To give one half of the receipts to any Church or Society, or regularly appointed committee by the puplic, who will provide a place, secure an audience, and defray the expenses incident to the meeting. An arrangement by which every Church or Society in the country may replenish their funds, aid their pastor8, or whatever other benevolent object that commends itself to public patro- nage. et Let such then who would help the cause, help themselves, and help us in our feeble endeavours to enlist the public ear to the cries of bleeding humanity; go at once to work, communicate im- mediately with us preparatory to an exhibition. We shal] not however confine ourselves to that deplorable and humiliating aspect of the co- lored man's case, repesented in that work. But we promise at no distant date, a new pro- gramme of very different scenés, representing not only an entirely original, but a far more hopeful aspect of the black man, than has ever been pre- sented to the American public. -- It is neither egotism, nor yet flattery, in us sesses 'the double merit of engaging those two most important faculties tnat man possesses-- the mind and the sight at the same time, and making an ineffacable impression. It is not-as being necessarily dependent and degraded, then that, we shall confine our exhibitions of his character. There have been places where, and times when the black man of modern times has proven him- {self the patriot, the statesman, and the warrior. As such, then, let him -be known to the world, that it may acknowledge it, and to our youth, that they may imitate their example and copy their virtues. We suffer more perhaps, from false represen- tation, than all other ills put together. Those amongst us who have acted the part of patriot are represented to be vicious and ungov- ernable: and those whom the most direful and crushing prejudices have debarred from the op- ed as submissive willing underlings. Generation after generation are stamped with the same false impressions, and learn-to assume it on the one hand, and -regard it as a fixed inevitable fact on the other: Pat We are arranging a new and a very extensive the incidents with whieh they have been connect- ed and acquitted themselves honorably--such as Arricus, "the first martyr of the Revolution," the "Colored Regiments at the Battle of New Orleans," and the distinguished and most promi- nent '" black leaders" who freed the first spot dis- eovered by Columbus, that was first desecrated to slavery--Hispanola--now Hayti. I have endeavored to make the arrangements sufficiently liberal to meet the patronage and en- gage the attention of all who have an interest in our common cause.
