VV1 Xxsais or "Qcodlibkt, &c We know hot how to criticise or even how to describe thU book. Its ob icct is political its. style satirical . We leave its rea- den to discover what it3 poliUss are, and who are the objects of its satire. There is; much -dry' humor in man; of the scenes, and the. characters, in general, are well imagined and sustained. The political parties of die day, and their opinions, principles, 'and conduct, are often very admirably hitoC The author, who- ever be is, understands bis subject, and, brings to the execution of it much talent, wit, and graphic, power, We promise the reader many a quiet amle, and many a hearty laugh darintr' its, perasal ithoagh we thiak that the machinery of 'the hook is too complex1, , the narrative, at times, a tittle prosy, and the wit -hot -al- ways very evident. We extract the following accouni of the speech Theodore Fog - Attorney jaLjLaw, jand independent candidate for the Legis'lature : r tr 1 , . Theodore Fod8 figure is above six feet; lean and bony,, and, with a stoopwhich in clines a little to the right, so as lo . bring his" left shoulder nearer! to the ear than its oppo site. His arras are unusually long, his head small, hisface strongly furrowed:, with deep lines, his eyes of. aj greenish lustre, his aoe decidedly of the pug species, his mouth larger his complexion ot that sallow drum-head parchment 1iue,that, equally defies the war of the elements and thejravages of alcohoLAM though short of fifty syearr ot3age.his hair is iron. gray, abd spreads in a thick mat ovex his wKolo cranium. .-At -no time of life has ne Deen caretui oi qress, trat now nasoiecun- ed into ah extreme ofeiiegligencivin this particular. On the present occasion he wore a striped gingham coat, rather short in the lee ves, artd cross barred pautaloons ; his abirt collar was turned down over a harrow horsehair; stock j and a broad black .riband I guard crossed his .breast, and terminated in the right pocket of a black bombazet waist- coat, where it was plainly . to be seen, from . 4 i tfn-the external impression; lodged a large time lpiece.

'The ordina ry mode of measuring merit by the degree of approach toward accuracy, while the Student is forced through an author at a given rate, puts an end. to the pleasure and utility of knowledge, and to certainty, its very es- sence.

The Pupil is said, after a certain time, ' to be fit for a Collega or a j Counting-house, but is found unfit to enter ekber or obtains admission only to drag along ' under the bur den of past inaccuracies. Tlie ' svstem adopted io the Family School has been tested during an expe rience of several -years,- with entire Success, even in the case of seme whose habits were formed u nder dif ferent instruction. The English, Classical, Scientific, and Mathematical branches, are taught solely by the Principal, who is thus enabled to secure uniformity of teaching and discipline, and,' as far as possible,; to guard against exacting too much or - too little, labor from any pupil. - One great object alined at, is to give a knowledge of principles, and the power of ap plying tbem; and the test of merit n to ability. to produce tire results, and pot the mere repetition of a rule, or the exhibition of a solution, epected. partly by chance, it may be; and partly by the'aid of Others. Occasional pedestriart excursions will be made into the country", in the company of the Principal. - The location, of the School, at the head of iheNew Haven Bay, is healthy and delightful, combining every facil ity, for exercise and safe sea bathing, at a suitable distance from the poise and temptation of a City, at the same lime that its proximity to Yale College ena bles the Principal to secure the aid of eminent Teach ers for the Modern Languages, arid-' the more orna mental branches of Education. : Address, " , WILLIAM.
