FreiR fAe Democratic Review for December.
A VINDICATION OF CLASSICAL STUDIES."
Thia ia a short an I unpretending defencef the
ancient languages, by a person who is practically
engaged in tho buaineaa of instruction. He haa
embraci-d within a short compass, the strong points
of argument upon which lovers of f lasaic pursuits
re accustomed to rely. He writes- with no little
earnest ne a and vigor as apparently under the in
fluence of strong convict. ona. In assigning the
cau-ma for the increasing indiOerenbe to the higher
ordef of intellectual culture, of which ho speak,
ho mention the simplicity of our institutions and
the abaehce of governmental patronage. In this
we no not agree with bitn, and think that R more
dcliborate reflection on theae topics, will induce
4rm-ttr-recoriatder4tiffrRsvniiga.T"W tr-hsjr itft
apace to enter into the controversy, but may recur
to it at another lime. Meanwhile, we subjoin the
penoration of tbe volume. -
' l i every department, then, of valuable knowl
edge., the cultivated mind will find much that ia
pluming ami instructive in the production of an
tiquity. If The history of man in all hit various
relation, and the history of mind in tho successive
stages of ita devnlopements ; if the progress of so.
ciety, and the influence under which H passes from
barbarism to refinement, are profitable objocts of
conlemrHation utliey are sources of useful knnwl
edge, then are the work ol the ancient fountain
of wisdom. ' ITthe truest delineation of character,
and the mna faithful portraiture of tho passions;
if the inmoxt working of t lie mind, the loftiest
conceptions of the imagination, and tho noblest
efforts of unaided reon, are fitted to instruct and
imprnva mankind, then, indeed, are the bequests of
II irner, a H iphocles, an Aristotle, and a rlato,
io an eminent degree instructive and useful.
M Studies Uiat are so strongly recommemled by
every consideration that can give them value, and
by the most respectable scholars and authors of
every age cannot be long treated with neglect. In
deed, notwithstanding tho alow progress of clasi
jcal lcarjtmg amongst us, and the backward stnte in
whi.h it at i II continues, it is yet in a mors) flourish

circumst a nee of the case. W hen we consider the
obstacles, with which it hat had to contend, and
the causes which have operated to retard and de
press it, wo have reason lo be encouraged with its
present aspect, and with the degree of attention
and respect it baa succeeded in winning to itself,
from "an age so devoted to the purriit of gain,
that it regards with lilile favor what has ao. a
