"We are glad to See such books launched out upon the sea of public mind. They 

 re safe crafts and freighted with wholesome and salutary truths. Mr. Hosmer writes 

 for the good of his readers, aud deals in the plain and practical matters of man's educa- 

 tion and course of life. He is a safe counselor for the young, and never gilds a perni- 

 cious sentiment in the seductive drapery of rhetoric. This book has the calm and 

 truthful characteristics of the author. He writes with an eye upon man's highest des- 

 tiny upon earth, and the great results of his living, in Heaven. Cayuga, Chitf.
