NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

There are patent, in this volume, arguments and facts which will rebuke fanaticism, and enchain the attention of thinking men.-National Intelligencer.

This book is a mine of thought, and a magazine of ideas. Its main object seems to be the illustration of the necessity for, and the advantages of, slavery.-Washington Sentinel.

There is a work recently published by Mr. Fitzhugh, of Virginia, called, "Sociology for the South," which should be in the possession of every Southern gentleman. It is full of valuable suggestions on this subject, and without, necessarily, endorsing every sentiment of the writer, few can read it and fail of being confirmed in their attachment to our peculiar institution.Judge Perkins, of Louisiana.

A Southern critic, speaking of this work, has said, with much truth: "The splendor, animation, and crowded, population of the Northern cities, excite, bewilder and delight Southern men and their families. Compared with the calm, easy indolence of their own communities, a painful sense of inferiority depresses them when they return to their own homes. The difference is as between a magnificent panoramic view, and a dark, still landscape- life in action, and life in repose." "Let them be contented," the writer continues, "the work of Fitzhugh will do much to reconcile them to what they have and what they are, when he reveals to them the interior view, the miseries of pauperism, with its grim and hideous attendants, its dire degradations, as shown in penitentiaries and houses of refuge, even for the young."
