T ITyjLE new , can be 'i aicl - on Switzerland ,: it might have been ¦ JU v thoug ht * previpustothe publication by a lady of what she _ had herself observed of life ajid inanners in" the cottages of the Alps-But female tact and discernment are nice and subtle , and perceive delicate Shades pf cfiaracter and conduct ^ that the sterner sex too frequently overlook . Changes * too , have been made by . time . These . changeshave even been pleaded , as our authoress tells us , against the project of writing a new history . The people are no longer , say they , what they were in the days of chivalry and romance , but . 'have degenerated into mercenary . speculatists and plodding tillers of the soil . " Barring the , degeneration , may we not consider this new phase as having a peculiar interest of its . -. own , and one well worth analysis ? Let us , therefore , follow in the lady s fobtstepsa > id > ar takb her observation . . / . .. ; .. ..

, ^ v _ ,, ^ , , — OiieT ^ ittle ^ ncideht-shbwiJiav ^ vjillahisJ ^ traveller . When in the canton of Schwytz , our authoress took the fancy to paps incognito , converting her name ( what is ltP ) into a German one , by the addition of a syllable , and spealdng the language of the people qs well as they could . "If Germans , ' says she , " did not understand usiiheyconcluded it was because we were Swiss ; and if the Swiss did not understand us , they concluded it was . because we were German , or from some outlandish corner the dialect of whicli « iev had never heard . " This free and easy method of
intercourse added to the amusement of her adventures . The lady makes' some judicious remarks ' on hotel expenses , and especially in relation to the TririJctfeW , which serves as a source of friu'd . ' Englishmen , tbbi are overcharged on system . But these , she adds , aie the sins of , an individual , , class , and not of the whole people- Wd lately , there have been for hied associations . among bbtel-kee ' pefs to prevent fraud and exaction .

WHAT ^ ve-have to say about the " History of the Creation and the . Patriarchs , " will necessarily be very little . The oldest and most ; beautitul scrap of history , in the world , whether saored ^ profane ( we use these words advisedly ; in opposition to some philosophers who assert that history has . no such distinction as is understood by these terms ) , we cannot but hold , m the highest respect and reverence , and still affirm its intrinsic excellence and general authenticity , in spite of the rational scrutiny and logical analysis to which it may be subjected ; either by the earnest thinker and seeker alter truth , or by the hostile and doubting critic . The spots on the sun dpntit sully or ; diminish his glory j the stubble-fi « ld does not detract from the majesty of the forest hard by ; nor , to our thinking , do the
apparent discrepancies or omissions in a brief historical narrative which records in solemn and sublime language the creation of the earih at all reduce the value of the whole . Indeed , we think that the right feeling in regard to , it is that of gratitude that the first chapter of GenesLs has been preserved through the non-printing and unlettered ages of the world , and handed down to us , complete as it is , for edification and instruction . We do not , however , ouject to candid and just criticisin upon any subject , let it Be ever so thoroughly and se ^ irchingly conducted . On the contrary , we like it , for we remember the sayings of wiser men than ourselves , which go altogether to countenance and encourage a spirit of , free inquiry
in the pursuit of truth . Hear both sides j prove all things ; lovehglit rather than dai-kness ; let truthaiid falsehood grapple : who ever knew truth put to the worst in a , fair and open encounter ? Such a spirit as this , as it is the only hopeand ' assurance of the world ' s progress and thorough freedom and enlightenment , we wish , above all things , to foster and strengthen . Human perfection , if . it is ever accomplished , will / under Divine Providence , be brought about by human intelligence . A city full of people are not the less responsible and active because their forefathers ' - "lie all in their dustin the city churchyards j neither ^ has truth , real , absolute truthi suffered one bit because of the refutation and abandonment by us of the old systems and
opinions of mankind . , ; But to retui-n to the ' -work before us . We have already hinted that wer have neither the inclination nor the space at present to discitss tlie ^ critical opinions ; and conclusions of this work . It is an aiibnymous productionrTbut we do not mentibh this as an objection to it . The readers of the work , however , will have very little trouble to form their own opinions upon its merits , as the author is not at all ainbiguous in the statement of his opiriions . It should be our dutv to welcome every ray of light that can be thrown upon so important a subject as the History of the Creation . But a great and trije critic , while he seeks to rectify or explain an acknowledged historical statement , will never wilfully level a blow at . the vast facts themselves , whether moral , spiritual , or scientific , upon which that statement , though imperfect , is origmally based . It must be
admitted that the highest and the worthiest exercise of human reason i § to elevate what is low , to harnionise what is incongruous , and to solve what is perplexing . If , therefore , we were to criticise what has been said and done in the past , with a view to harmonise and explain , arid not to denounce and depreciate , there would , we think , be less discordance of opinion and hostility of feeling among us than there is . Perhaps , in our inodern breadth of philosophical inquiry andfreedom of research , our criticism Of the pust becomes too loose arid negative in spirit to do all the good which it otherwise might achieve ; It certainly is not wise , though it is characteriatic the and hihest
of modern criticism , to judge antiquity by purest g standards of religious and scierititic truth which prevailamong us . A few defective or unintelligible sentences of an inspired penman , or a few unworthy acts of an individual otherwise esteemed for his goodness and piety , are certainly not sufficient to cast distrust over the whole record of the one arid di « grace upon the whole character and refutation of the other . To persist that they are , is , we should think , the height of folly . We , therefore , maintain that , with all its supposed imperfections or discrepancies , the Mosaic account of tlie creation and the human race as contained in the Book of Genesis , is ; beyond all question , an invaluable and trunscendent chapter in the history of the world .
