"He will strike those who stuly him more closely as a complete charactcr--complete in its union of moral and intellectual gifts, and in the steady growth and development of both.”— London Quarterly Review.

"His correspondence is the best record of his life and affords the most vivid representation of his character. It presents us with the progressive development, of his mind and views till the one reaches the vigor and the other the comprehensiveness for which at length they became distinguished."-Knight's Cyclopaedia of Biography.

17 The accuracy and excellent judgment exhibited in the arrangement of the Correspondence and constraction of the narrative, long ago established Mr. Stanley's reputation as worthy biographer of the noble Master of Rugby; the rapid sale of the former large editions of the work, and the constant demand for it while out of print, attest the interest which is felt in the details of the life and labors of Dr. Arnold. The Publishers, therefore, issue this new and carefully revised edition, in the hope that it will meet with favor from the general public, and especially from all who are interested in the cause of education. Every intelligent of deep and permanent teacher should own these volumes, for the lessons they teach are value; and in every School and Academic Library, the "Life and Correspondence of Thomas Arnold" should hold its pominent place.

THE EDUCATION OF THE INTELLECT, THE CONSCIENCE, AND THE HEART.

Extract from an Address of the late Hon. William Slade, on the subject of Moral Education-to be completed in two numbers.

WHAT IS COMPREHENDED IN THE IDEA OF A TRUE AND PROPER EDUCATION?

This is a very important question, very imperfectly understood. Ask the men you meet in your daily walks, what they understand to be an education, and nineteen-twentieths of them will answer :"It is the learning of the sciences taught in the colleges and schools." Ask them what faculties are brought into requisition, in the process of an education, and they will answer:-"The intellectual, of course; what others are needed?"

The acquisition of knowledge and intellectual culture, then, are the sum and substance of education, as it enters into the conception of the popular mind-and thus there are many parents, who rise up early and sit up late, and eat the bread of carefulness, that their children may have an education, who never extend thought beyond the cultivation of their intellectual powers. If their heads are stored with knowledge, and their minds strengthened by discipline, the desire of the fond parents is satisfied. They deem their children well-educated, when, in fact, the most important part of a true and proper education may have been wholly neglected. Their children are smart, it may be, and in a
