of a conjunction, there is always one unequivocal method of deciding its
true nature. The relative is always a _part_ of the second proposition. A
conjunction is _no part_ of either.

Elements of Moral Philosophy:
ANALYTICAL, SYNTHETICAL, AND PRACTICAL.
BY HUBBARD WINSLOW.
12mo. 480 pages. Price $1 50.
This work is an original and thorough examination of the fundamental laws
of Moral Science, and of their relations to Christianity and to practical
life. It has already taken a firm stand among our highest works of
literature and science. From the numerous commendations of it by our most
learned and competent men, we have room for only the following brief
extracts:
_From the _REV. THOMAS H. SKINNER, D.D._, of the Union Theol. Sem.,
N.Y._
"It is a work of uncommon merit, on a subject very difficult to be
treated well. His analysis is complete. He has shunned no question
which his purpose required him to answer, and he has met no adversary
which he has not overcome."
_From _REV. L. P. HICKOK_, Vice-President of Union College._
"I deem the book well adapted to the ends proposed in the preface. The
style is clear, the thoughts perspicuous. I think it calculated to do
good, to promote the truth, to diffuse light and impart instruction to
the community, in a department of study of the deepest interest to
mankind."
_From _REV. JAMES WALKER, D.D._, President of Harvard University._
"Having carefully examined the more critical parts, to which my
attention has been especially directed, I am free to express my
conviction of the great clearness, discrimination, and accuracy of the
work, and of its admirable adaptation to its object."
_From _REV. RAY PALMER, D.D._, of Albany._
"I have examined this work with great pleasure, and do not hesitate to
say that in my judgment it is greatly superior to any treatise I have
seen, in all the essential requisites of a good text-book."
_From _PROF. ROUSSEAU D. HITCHCOCK, D.D._, of Union Theol. Sem., N.Y._
"The task of mediating between science and the popular mind, is one
that requires a peculiar gift of perspicuity, both in thought and
style; and this, I think, the author possesses in an eminent degree. I
am pleased with its comprehensiveness, its plainness, and its fidelity
to the Christian stand-point."
_From _PROF. HENRY B. SMITH, D.D._, of the Union Theol. Sem., N.Y._
