Dr. Draper's " Conflict." There have 

 been published of Dr. Draper's book, " The 

 Conflict," eight editions in America, and five 

 in London. It has been translated into 

 French, and is in its third edition in Paris. 

 The German translation made by Dr. Rosen- 

 thal has had a similar success. A Polish 

 translation has been made in the University 

 of Warsaw ; a Servian one by Prof. Meta 

 Rakitch, in Belgrade. The Spanish trans- 

 lation is by Sefior Arcemis, the astronomer 

 of Cadiz. The Russian is under examina- 

 tion by the censorship.
