THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.

to consend that be has submitted affirmative evidence of this kind, which, even to kizweif, is satufactory. Indeed, he seems to recognize the absence of scentade proot of the now-materal origin of the inselect when be desgates the great want of this age" to be the prosecunce of inquiry into the nature of the binan mind as an organic structure regarded as such by which raiber equivocal language we prosume the author to mean the human mind considered as an ecuity essentially independent of the body, and only temporarily associated with it When Mr. Curtis goes on to say, "It seems to me that the whole mission of scr3:08 is now perverted by a wrong aim, which is to find out the external to the neglect of the internal," he has either overlocked the two most distinguished names in the Listory of contemporary or recent polosophy-those of Haruman and of Hartmann's master, Bobogenhauer-or be strangely misconceives the point of view from which those inquirers have approached the study of the human mind. They certainly did not insist on regarding metaphysics as a department of physiology.

The Historical Atias* compiei by Mr. Labberton, is a credit to American cartographers, and may be learly commended to those unable to buy the expensive work by Spruner. The 141 maps bere eclected begin with conjectural indications of the 0.1 Egyptian Empare, whose seat was at Memphis, and of the (nearly contemporaneous first period of the Chaidean ascendency in Western Asia. We are next shown, with a greater attempt at exactitude, the extension of the so-called New Egyptian Empire under Rameses IL, and the circuit of Assyrian preponderance at the era of its greatest development, when, under Assurbanipci, it stretched over Egypt, Cyprus, Palestine, and a part of Asia Minor. From that date the seventh century B. C.-down to our own day, almost every change of reasonable duration in the political condition of every important section of the Mediterranean world is represented with a close approach to accuracy on a separate map. Especially helpful to the student will be found the map exhibiting the dominions and pretensions of Charles the Bold, and that portraying the gradual reunion of the Provinces of France to the Capetian crown. The successive transformations of England, from the landing of the Jutes to the Norman conquest, are made clear to the eye by not less than fourteen maps, supplemented by plans of the decisive battle-fields. The maps relating to Spain are the weakest features of the book. Not one of them relating to a period prior to the peace of Westphalia exhibits the two cities, Merida and Tarraco, which, throughout the Roman and Visigothic periods, were the most populous and opulent in the Peninsula. On the other hand, we note with satisfaction that Mr. Labberton is careful to bring out the existence of an independent Suevic kingdom in the northeast of the Peninsula during a considerable part of the Visigothic era. Without due attention to this fact, no one can understand the weakness of the Visigothic power at the date of the Arab invasion. We note some errors in the map illustrative of the Arabic ascendency in the first quarter of the eighth century. At that date Cyprus and Crete were not Saracenic, but still Byzantine, and the Arab conquest of Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica was reserved for the Aglabite dynasty of Kairoan.
