We cordially commend this work to onr readers, as one they will read with equal interest and profit.

Sir Charles Bells celebrated and admirable work on Expression: Its Anatomy and Philosophy, has been republished by S. R. AVells, with many additional illustrations and notca. A work so well known as this is requires no extended notices at this late date. Its republication is very timely at a day when the subject has received a new interest from the labors of Darwin and other scientists in the same field.

It has long been and will long continue to be an esteemed and a valuable book. It bas been before the public for over fifty years, and, during all that time has been a standard and a classic work, and will doubtless continue to hold this rank till the end of time. We cannot conscientiously say that it has been greatly improved by the introduction of the results of more recent investigations, nor can we accord high praise to the engravings that have been added to it either on tbe score of relevancy to the text or the style of execution, especially as tbe majority of them have been made familiar in almost every phrenological work that has been published during the past twenty years. It is always well to leave works of this nature as their authors gave them to the world, especially when, as in this case, tbe author is named Sir Charles Bell. We greatly admire tbe following from the preface: Tbe present enlarged edition the publisher offers to the world of science and letters as an expression of respect for the views of a profound scholar and most acute observer, and with a view to their perpetuation.

From all which, it would appear that tbe world of science and letters was not aware of the existence of tbe original work, and that it was in danger cf falling into oblivion but for tbe action of tbe publisher in thus reproducing it. However, it is given in a convenient form and we believe at a cheaper price than tbe book has ever been previously sold for in this country. Tbe letter press is clear and the paper good.

ARTISTS SALE. TI ere is on exhibition at Leonards library salesroom, on Bromfield street, a capital collection of pictures, which will be disposed of, on Friday afternoon, by auction. They are from tbe pencils of J. Foxcroft Cole, Frank II. Smith, Thomas Robinson, J.

Appleton Brown, W. M. Hunt, F. H. Shapleigh, W.

Mark FIcber, B. Cbampney, AV. E. Norton and G. F.

Higgins. There are one hundred and eleven canvases in all, some of bit are of striking excellence, and there are but few that have not some speelal merit. Tbere is a finely modeled bead by Hunt, in which the flesh tints are very rich and trnthful. Tbere Is also a very effective landscape from the same hand, which is fall of suggestiveness and quiet beanty. A large landscape with sb ep and lambs, by Robinson, is one of the best pictures in tbe room.

It is admirable in drawing and refined in tone. Tbe hues are somewhat sober, but the effect is excellent. A small pair of pictures by tbe same artist, catalogued as a donkey and a Jersey ball, are very truthful. Two landscapes, with sbeep, by J. Foxcroft Ctle, Me capital specimens of the artists style.

A large work by Fisher, called The Gatherers, is full of fine points. A landscape by Higgins, The Woodland Path, is excellent In color and drawing, and is, altogether, a very attractive picture. A view at Kenilworth is one of the best works we have hitherto seen from Mr. Shapleighs pencil, and is, as a whole, strongly and carefully painted. Mr.

Smith's versatility is to be viewed in this collection to unusual advantage. Among the most striking of the pictures from his hand may be mentioned Tbe Interior of St. Marks Cathedral, Venice, La CafC-tiere and Marquise in the Garden, in all which tbere may be seen careful and conscientious work. Some of his Venetian scenes are also well worthy attention. There are quite a number of paintings here by J.

Appleton Brown, in which tbe artists strong feeling for nature is tbe most prominent feature. Tbe collection is an interesting one, consisting, as it does, of works by resident artists, and tbe many admirable pictures to be seen bere will amply repay a visit from all who take any satisfaction in witnessing the progress of our native artists. ART NOTES. The bust of the composer, Michael Balfc, is now completed, and will shortly be placed in tbe cloister cf Westminster Abbey. Mr.

Robert C. Hinckley of Boston has been admitted to the Ecole des Bcaax-Arts. He is also a private pnj il of M. Bonnat, and intends to devote some time to tbe stndy of portrait-painting, having taken a studio at 76, Boulevard Moutparnassee. Hypiiolyte Lazerges will exhibit in this years salon a Ttry remarkable picture, Le Christ flagelM par pLilcsopbie modeme, in which a Sorbmne doctor lakes the place of tbe classic fiageUatora.

In Athens, near tbe temple of Jupiter, two headless statues have been discovered, of Jupiter mad Esculapins respectively. These works are described as dating from tbe time of Hadrian.

If this is correct, tbe discovery, taken with tbe vastness of tbe number of antiques of tbe same period which have been exhumed in Italy, Greece and Egypt, serves to confirm tbe idea of the richness of the art-revival of that epoch, and the wideness of its range; for it is not only in tbe centres of Roman civilization that these monuments are recovered, but they appear in Britain, Algeria, France, Germany and Spain. It may be remembered that Lord Pembroke died in Paris some year back, and that a sale by auctioa of a part of bis property took place immediately after. Tbe rest of bis beautiful objects of art, paintings, bronzes, china and plate were bequeathed to a lady whom the deceased nobleman bad known for many year. As she bad now, in her torn, paid tho debt of nature, tbe whole of the collection is at present being sold at tbe Hotel Drouot. by the ministry of M.

Escribe, auctioneer. Recently, the pictures were brought forward, and among them, a Laneret brought 800; The Halt, by Pater, 800; Spring, same, 1700; "The Awakening of Venn, Natoire, 800; The Serinette, Chardin, $2200; Portrait of Bronais, by himself, and another of bis wife, brought 3060; and two charming works by De Troy. The Portrait Given and The Sword-knot, 2030. Tbe paintings, about thirty in number, produced over 20,000. Delacroixs great work, La MortdeSardananale, will not be lost to France, as M.

Durand-Knd purchased it for 96,000 francs, lately, at tbe Hotel des Yentes. This picture, which even now astonishes more than it delights tbe eye, was far from being held in esteem when exhibited in the salon of 1827; and we are told that when Delacroix expected to receive tbe congratulations of M. Soetbcnee de la Rocbcfoneanlt, at that time director of tbe fine arts department, he was met with tbe unwelcome greeting: If Ibis is wbat yon call painting, yon need newer expect any employment from me. This most have been all tbe more disagreeable, because Delacroix himself had written that this work is the greatest feather In my cap the triumph of Orientalism over the Spartan daubs of tbe David school. For ten years be was covered with invective, and bis paintings decried by every small critic and by many of bis fellow-artists.

Gerard and Gerodet were not sparing in their condemnation, bat Gros declared that a great painter had been born into the world as soon as he set eyes upon tbe Massaere of Scio; and posterity has folly confirmed his judgment. This was not ihe only remarkable pietnre in tbe Wilson collection which was dispersed at the sale at wbicb this picture as purchased. Throe Troyons, the Mare aux Vacbes, tbe "Bacherons aud tbe Baicnenses, realized 33,000 francs, 22,000 francs and 9500 francs, respectively. Tbe Ribera, Tbe Body of Christ in tbe arms of tbe Virgin. was sold for 16.000 francs a small Rnysdael brought only 4600 francs, while one of Jnlcs Dupres three pictures, Les Environs de Southampton, for which the painter bad only received 1000 francs, was taken by tbe purchaser of La Mcrt de Sardanapalc for twelve times its original price.

Murillo, Rubens, Cuyp and Bonington were also represented at tbe sale. Boston young mens CHRISTIAN UNION.

Box 5128. 187 Broadway, New York. WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 9, 187a JNEW PUBLICATIONS. Thoughts on Decent Scientific Conclusions, and Their Delation to Religion The Treaty of Washington Expression Its Anatomy and Physiology Uittelis Living Age Little Katy Kirby Tiie Coining Race New England Historical and Genealogical Register. Dai win and Huxley would find tlieir time somewhat monoiolized, if they were to attempt to answer one-half of tlieir opponents; aud were they to write in a similar spirit to the majority ot those who oppose ir theories, they would be in a chronic state of captions and peevish ill-temper.

We confess there is something humiliating in the reflection that we may he of Simian origin, and we do not wonder that some sensitive natures cannot tmacefully submit to the imputation, hut the whole question seems to resolve itself lute the fact that neither Darwin nor his opponents may, or can fiually settle the point at issue. It is, and always must remain, a matter of doubt. The burden of proof lies with Darwin, and he labors manfully to establish the affirmative of his proposition, while his adversaries persistently persevere in their attempt to prove a negative, which proceeding is, to say the least of it, not exactly in accordance wiih the laws that govern logical disquisitions. Scolding will never he mistaken for argument, nor will pointing out why a certain condition of affairs should not he, have any weight in proving that it cannot be. The latest work that has come under our notiee in oppposition to Darwinism and the modem theories of science is one entitled Tltougkft on Recent Scientific Conclusions, and Their Relation to Religion, It is published anonymously, but it is from the pen of an earnest and a clever reasoner.

It consists of eight papers entitled respectively: Antiquity of Man, Drafts on the Bank of Time, La Tini5re, ITe-Ilistoric Man, Darwinism, Professor Huxley on Darwinism, The Deluge, and The Mosaic Cosmogony. The liist named, is an attempt to overthrow the rapidly growing belief that the great antiquity that is claimed for man is not proved by the discoveries that have been made of the juxtaposition of human remains, hones or flints, and other implements, with the bones of extinct fossil animals, In gravel beds or in caverns, above or beneath their stalagmite floors. The writer makes out a very strong case; in fact, one quite os strong as that be alt nipt to dis rove. The second paper combats the theory of the immense antiquity claimed for the woikl ly bringing foi ward arguments against it of a nature similar to that used by the advocates of countless centurus. 1 he third paper shows that immense periods of time are not necessary to account for the accumulation of strata and other deposits, and points out many instances where these things have been formed within historic times.

The fonrth paper deals with the stone, bronze ami iron ages, aud is a very interesting one. The following are the strongest points made here The sitvage faces lo not certainly present the progressive development of beauty or intellect, and it seems more probable that they are degenerating into rather than that they should have proceeded from the Simian genus, if there be any truth in development theories. Taking a general view of the globe, it appears that the extremities of the great continents have been the refuges of the outcasts of the earth the Cape of Good Hope, with its Hottentots, Teira del Fuego, Australia, in the Southern, the Arctic Regions, all, or nearly all, of the high latitudes in tho Northern hemisphere, also outlying islands in both hemispheres; every discovery of new lands in these regions during the last two or three centuries has shown ns nothing bnt tribes of savage people without a semblance of the progess we call civilization. If the primeval man was a savage, and civilization gradually proceeded from him, how is it that every one of these tribes savages was fonnd in the savage state, though isolated and left to tlieir own devices, like the primeval savages? Some one of them ought surely, with plenty of time before him, to have acquired the art of at least one of the three Rs. How is it that the Fuegian, expo.ed as he has been for centuries to a fearful climate of cold and tempest, has not yet made any progress towards the attainment of the simplest arts bearing on his comfort? Why was the wretched Tasmanian so utterly degraded as to have lost or never discovered the art of making a fire, and the Australian savage, scarcely su)erior to a beast, as far as civilization is concerned? The history of man seems to show that degradation, as much as progress, has been his true condition the badge of all our race.

The article on Darwinism is the most interesting and the most able in the hook, and that on Mr. Huxley the most instructive. Both papers are distinguished by sound reasoning, and are rich in happy' examples. The paper on the Deluge is less satisfactory, while that on the Mosaic Cosmogony is weak and puerile. If we charge a man with unreliability, it would be folly to bring, bis own recitals to cs as a proof of bis truthfulness.

Proving him correct in his facts would be the more reasonable and Logical proceeding. When scientists deny the truth of the Mosaic account of the cosmogony, it is absurd to bring forward the statements in that account to prove it true. They may satisfy those who never doubted, or who are content to take such things on faith, but the sceptic is left just where he was before. It is late in the day to rail against scicnoe where it opposes estab- Iished religious beliefs, and it is as idle to attempt to reconcile science to what is known as revealed religion as it. is to stigmatize as infidels those who believe in bat is not susceptible of doubt.

The work, however, will well repay perusal. It is written in excellent temper, Is thoughtful and earnest, and by no means dogmatic. The style is here and there careless aud slipshod, bnt it is on the whole clear and simple. Published by Rtrahan London. For sale by A.

Williams Co. The Trecttj Washington: by Caleb Cushing. Messrs A. Williams Co. have for sale General Cushings timely history of the Treaty of Washington, its negotiation.excention,and the discussions relating thereto.

The book is published by the Harpers in handsome style, with extra large, fair type, and presents a most inviting appearance to the eye; an appearance which is fully supplemented by the racy and attractive contents from the keen and vigorous peu of the author. No man could bare been in a mere favorable situation for an accurate and thorough knowledge of tho subject of which he treats than was Mr. Cushing from his honorable iosition as one of the Counsel of our Government before the Geneva Tribunal, while his extensive and profound acquirements as a statesman and a diplomatist thoronghlv qualify him for tiie task of placing on record a vivid and reliable history of the important events connected with tho Treaty of Washington. The work is divided into six chapters, the first, or introduction, giving a narrative of the circumstances attending the negotiation of the treaty, with pertinent comments thereon; the second being devoted to tbeAkibama Claims, the third to Miscellaneous Claims, the fourth to the Northwestern Boundary Line, the fifth to the Fisheries, and the sixth to Commercial Intercourse and Transportation. There is also an appendix, giving, in full, the Treaty of AVashington and the decision and award of the arbitrators.

Of course the chief interest of the work centres in the chapter devoted to the Alabama Claims, the discussions and negotiations arising out of them, the proceedings at Geneva, the decision of the Board and the effect of that decision. It may be remembered that in an editorial article last week, we devoted some attention to that portion of General Cushing's work, which treats of the reasons pnt forth by Sir Alexander Cockburn, tiie British arbitrator, for his dissent from the decision, and of the strange and unjustifiable course pursued by that tlignil ary. Though this matter is merely episodical in its nature, yet it serves to enliven the dis-cmHon of the diplomatic and legal aspects of arbitration and will prove an attractive feature of the work. As to the results of the Treaty, and the de-cirion under it, Mr. Cushing clearly establishes that neither flic one nor tho other lias inaugurated any new policy of neutrality in the United States, nor created for this country any rights or any duties not previously possessed by, and incumbent on the Government.

The traditional policy of the country as established by Washington and Jefferson, remains intact. In response to the question, what, then, have we gained by the Treaty of AVashington and by Arbitration, Mr. Cushing replies: We have gained the vindication of our rights as a Government; the redress of the wrong done to our citizens; the political prestige in Europe and America of the enforcement cf our rights against the most powerful State of We have received from the publishers, Littell Gay, No. 30 Bromfiekl street, Boston, the first volume of the fifth series of LittelPs Living Age, for Janu-r ary, Fehj nary and March of tbe present year. It is this hound form, where three months numbers of the weekly issues are placed together, that we realize the amount and valise of the matter which tbe subscribers to this old and long establish k1 favorite serial reetive annually.

It is a trite remark to make, but it is exactly true that the work forms a library in itself, and though we have several magazines in this country of the same eclectic character we have none quite filling the same design as Uttelle Living Age. The firm bold which this publication bas upon tbe appreciation of the public is fully shown in tbe fact that the present is the one hundred and sixteenth volume. Little Katy Kirby is the title of tbe latest novel from tho pen of that popular writer Frederick W. Robinson. It is an excellent story; in fact, to onr taste the best tbe author bae given to tbe public since be wrote Mattie: AStray.

Tbe plot is cleverly constructed and is full of interest without any dependence upon the sensational elements that disfigure so many of our modern works of fiction. Tbe character are vigorously in woor three instances wilb originality and power. Tbe humorous portions are not overdrawn and the pathos is unexaggerated. The story is told as an autobiography, aud is altogether a capital ore of its class. It is freely and excellently illdst rated.

Harper Brothers have republished in a cheap form that remarkable book entitled The Coming Race, which, as has just transpired, is from tiie pen of the late Lord Lytton. It created a great sensation, when it originally appeared, and though conjecture ran wild on tbe subject of its writer, Balwer was not for a moment suspected.

It is a curious monument of its authors industry, reading and versatility, and is a pleasing and an instructive phantasy, in spite of the bizarre theories and wild deductions that distinguish it. Tbe discovery of its real author will lend a new interest to the work, even among those who read it when it first appeared a year or more ago. A. Williams Co.

M. Jateaus Paris is not among his best impersonations, though it was nowhere wanting in spirit or mirtbfnlncss. The Cali has of M. Lecuyer was one of the best things in last nights performance.

It was a capital bit of acting throughout, as was also M. Nardins Menelaus, which was not only excellently made np, but was exceedingly droll In tbe manner In which it was conceived and carried out. Tbe music was given acceptably, and the audience appeared to derive both pleasure and satisfaction from the entertainment. This afternoon, Les Cent Yicrges will be given; end in the evening, Offenbachs Genevieve da Brabant is to be played for tbe firat time in Boston. MS.

PECKS CONCERT. Tc-night, the long-beralded annual benefit concert of Mr. A. P. Peck is to take place at Music Hall.

Wo have alluded too frequently to tbe great features of this entertainment to find it at all necessary to mention them again.
