Uncle Tom's Cabin Abridged for Young Readers. (John Hogg.)— We

must candidly own that we have not felt disposed to spend two or three hours on examining the original story along with this abridgment. Our impression is that any one fit to read Uncle Tom's Cabin at all—and we should certainly not put it into a child's hands—may very well read it at full length. That an abridgment may be useful on occasion we do not deny, but this is not such an occasion.
