GUIZOT'S HISTORICAL WORKS. D. Appleton & Co., publish, complete in four volumes, THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION. FROM THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE TO THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. BY F. GUIZOT, Prime Minister of France, etc. Translated by William Hazlitt. Price, neatly bound in cloth, $3 50; or paper cover, $3 00. "This work is divided into two Parts. The First contains a General History, or rather a profound Philosophical Analysis, of the leading events of the History of the Nations of Europe from the Fall of the Roman Empire to 1789, and of the principles that governed the historical progress of Europe during that period. The Second contains the History of Civilization in France in particular, with a general glance at the rest of Europe. The study of the social and political progress of what is called Modern Civilization is entered into more minutely in the Second Fart, and hence it became necessary to select one Nation as a type and to study it particularly. M. Guizot very properly made choice of France, which, intellectually, has been, as she still is, the Leader of Europe in social and political progress. We cannot speak in too high terms of this admirable work. As a perspicuous analysis of those important political and religious movements of Europe, which have resulted in the formation of the great civilized Nations that now exist upon the earth, and as a clear and comprehensive summary of the events of the great historical epochs that succeeded each other, we think that this work has no rival. Others have written more in detail, and introduced us, as Thierry has done, more intimately into the daily life and the manners of the People; but for a study of the prin ciples that have lain at the foundation of the historical life and the work. ings of Nations, and of the philosophy of the historical movements which have marked the progress of European History, we think that M. Guizot has not been equalled. His insight into, and his dissection of the causes that led to the establishment of political institutions, and his analysis of the signification of great political and religious events, are clear and profound, and must assist the student incalculably in obtaining a knowledge of the history of which he treats. The rise and constitution of the Feudal System, of the Church, the Affranchisement of the Cities, the commencement of Intellectual progress in Europe, the signification of the Reformation, are among the topics luminously explained by the powerful talent of M. Guizot. France has produced, within late years, some remarkable historians and Appleton & Co. are rendering an important service to the public in republishing their works. The study of History will be rendered more attractive, and a clear view of principles rather than a mere external description of events will thus be conveyed. We can recommend this work to every reader of History as one which appears to us indispensable."— Tribune.

"The event which forms the theme of the work is one of the highest historical importance,-second to none in modern times, except perhaps the French Revolution. And M. Guizot is certainly qualified, most abundantly, and perhaps better than any living author, to do it justice. The main features of the work, as in all his writings, is the clear and profoundly philosophical spirit by ich it is marked. The style is exceedingly elegant and fascinating,-graphic in the narrative of facts and incidents, and always lucid, even in the most abstract, philosophical discussion. "The translator, Mr. W. HAZLITT, has appended a new and copious midex which adds essentially to the value of the work."-Courier and Enquirer.
