Our Brother in Black : his Freedom and his Future.

By Atticus G. Haygood, D.D. (Phillips and Hunt, Now York.)—Here we have a calm and rational utterance on the subject of the negro population from a genuine Southerner, a man who owns to having believed in and defended slavery, and who confesses to a change of opinion, at first forced upon him from without, but now become a matter of genuine conviction. To deal with the question here proposed for dis- cussion would take us beyond our province, but we shall not be wrong

in welcoming Dr. Haygood's book as a contribution of distinct value to the settlement of difficult controversies.
