geography is beginning to supersede the mere dry details of countries, rivers, lakes, &c. measured in English miles, which have hitherto been deemed sufficient in elementary books on geography. Objection may be taken against the speculative character of one or two chapters in this book, but, on the whole, it is a good explanation of the elements of physical geography, and its relation to the history of man.
XXVII. The Religion of Mankind. By JAMES SPENCE, M.A. Fcap. pp. 271. Snow, 1852.-Under this title Mr. Spence has published a series of discourses intended to show that Christianity has been adapted to man in all the aspects of his being by its divine author. Only a few days since, an intelligent, rightly-disposed young man, expressed himself to us as desirous of reading some book that might suffice to give him a just view of the nature and claims of religion as regarded by evangelical believers, of the fairly educated class, in this country. We could think of no book in our language so likely to meet the wants of such a mind as the book before us, and we presented him with a copy accordingly. It is philosophical, without being either abstruse or technical; and evangelical, without the iterations of commonplace. It is a ripe book, giving you the results of processes, without the processes themselves.
