Criticinms on New Books. Tus Stuy or GoveRNMENr. By George H. Yea man. Little, Browa & Vo, Boston, The ttle of this pook and the seven hundred pages of matter it covers wiil be apt to repel read- ers in general from giving that attention to the contents which they deserve, The study of govern- ment 1s too unattractive abd ary in this age of light reading, telegrapns, locomotive power and rapid movement in everything, except for & few students and statesmen. People want to know everything through telegraphic or epigramuitic breyity, and tosee the most abstruse scieaces fully taught by aphorisms. Eminent writers, and even some states- men among them, nowadays perceive the necessity of conveying Instruction on politics or government through the attractive medinm of romance or the light literature of the modera novel. Stil, the student who is intent on becoming well instructed i the science or art of government and has the patience to carefuily study Mr, Yea men’s book will be rewarded for his time. It em braces almost every topic pertaiming to the subject a “Yhe defnitions of government and law; the necessity for government; the object and province of government; ine origin of government; sove reignty; the forms Ol government; the three de- pariments of government and their functions; the stability ana regularity of governments; revolu- tions; civil war; political parties; legisiation; ad- ministration of justice; property; {reeaom of opin- lon, education, religion and exchanges; slaveryi race, climate and teritorial extent of governments; sovereignty, independence and equality of nations; external relations of government; prize law aud maritime capiures, and expa- imiation, allegiuuce, nationality, naturalizauon and citizensnip.” ‘ine work shows a great deal of ability and research, and one of the most valuable and interesting features in It 13 the continual reference to tie opinions of great writers aud statesmen Of ull periods, Our own goy- ernment und the diferent civiized governments of the time im their varlous charasterisitcs are tus Placed in juxtaposition with those that preceded them throughout the whole history of civilizauon, We see how the greatest minus at diferent periods have been trammelied by the circumstances sur- rounding them, aud have reasoned in accordance with existung facts, or them prejudices, even when the light of abstract truth, science or @ higher philosophy seemed io beam upon them, Yet we see, igain, trem the copious quo‘ations the author makes, that from tné eariiest dawn of civilization inthe East, as weil as in the early rade govern- ments of the Nortiern races of Europe, there were minds that perceived the great truths which under- ie that liberty and political equal.ty, in counection With stabie and good government, which we have realized, aud which all civilized nations are how striving after, These references to the opinions of great writers on governments 1n all ages are both jnteresting and instructive, Mr. Yeaman is a law- yer, and has worked up bis matter much as an able lawyer would his plea mm any Important case, There 1s, it is true, a redundancy of verbiage throughout nis work, as there is im most of the pleadings of lawyers and speeches of legislators or pollucians. ‘Jus fault, arises, no doubt, from his professional habits and from his public lfeas a Congressman and politician, bot he has, notwith ing, clear, ltberal and advanced views on the questions he treats He secs the value of our institutions, and that we have reached the best form of government that has been established, He shows, however, that government is a development, and that in a free country like ours, Wheré ‘the sovereignty rests in the people, this must be subject to modifeation, according to circumstances and tho wiil of the people, While hoiding to local seil-government as the bulwark of freedom and asthe best means to give the people political education, he 1s thoroughly natlonal and believes there can be but one sovereign power in tie republic, and that is the whole body ofthe people, acting througi its chosen authorities, Our space will not aumit of an extended review of Mr. Yeaman’s work, and, therefore, we'will only add, that in vhe sound principles latd down in the arguments adduced and in the valuavie references to the highest and uitfereut authorities on tae sub- ject of government this 14 one of the best booksever published, 1t ought to be in ail our colleges, higher schools and public libraries, as weil as in the hands of every one studying Lhe science of goverament, LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. “BRIGHAM’S Destroying ANGEL” is the sensa- tional tue of a forticomimg book coutaining te life and confession of the notorious Bill Hickman, the Danite Chief of Utah Territory.
