...LEARNED treatise by our Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of St. James is for sale at the University Bookstore. The subject of the work is interesting, and, considering the high standing of the author and the undoubted excellence of the book, its price is quite reasonable...

Rather a sweeping statement, I fear; that faith is the primary origin of the first five worlds which Bratt mentions is self-evident, - but is Faith, considered as Faith, and not as Hope or Charity, the primary origin of the organic world? I doubt it. To my mind, as well as to the minds...
