the improvement of the law of nations. An- 

 other book, preserving the record of a memo- 

 rable international discussion, is " The Argu- 

 ment at Geneva : a Complete Collection of the 

 Forensic Discussions on the Part of the United 

 States and Great Britain, before the Tribunal 

 of Arbitration, under the Treaty of "Washing- 

 ton, as published by Authority of the Govern- 

 ment." A work for general students, but of 

 value also to the law-student, is an " Introduc- 

 tion to Roman Law, in twelve Academical Lect- 

 ures," by James Hadley, LL. D., with an Intro- 

 duction by Theodore D. Woolsey. D. D., LL. D. 

 The extent and precision of Prof. Hadley's 

 learning, and the felicity of his expositions, are 

 favorably exhibited in this volume. Less thor- 

 ough in treatment, but very effective in style, 

 is "Church and State in the United States," 

 written by the Rev. Joseph P. Thompson, D. D.,

 men and scholars. Of law-books, strictly so

TEXT- BOOKS. The complaint has been 

 made, with too much foundation in fact, that 

 the production and introduction of school-

 selves. But, whether through the effect of 

 criticism, or as a consequence of a gradual 

 raising of the standard of teachers' qualifica- 

 tions, creating a demand for a better style of 

 text-books, or from whatever cause, it is cer-

 Fourteenth Century, illustrated by Notes Gram-
