LITERARY NOTICES.

The Life and Correspondence of Thomas Arnold, D.D. late Head Master of Rugby School, and Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford. By Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, M. A. First American from the third London Edition. D. Appleton & Co. 1845. 1 vol. 12mo. pp. 516.

Dr. Arnold was one of the very few men whose death was felt to be a loss to the world; and the full record of his life contained in this valuable volume, must of course be gratefully received by all who have any knowledge of his writings. The work by which he is best known in this country, is his Introduction to the Study of Modern History. His writings were very numerous, but those most widely known, are the Lectures on Modern History, which are incomplete — and a History of Rome in three volumes, ending at the second Punic War.

The publishers have done the public a service in reprinting this book; and we hope to see the practice followed by other publishers, which they have here introduced, of giving the edition from which the work is republished.
