A NOBLE OFFER.

ALTHOUGH political economy is a science of every-day life of vast importance, relating both to the individual and the government, yet as such, it

New York fully so thore is known to, or at least fully appreciated by few. Wallace O. Gromm, President.

Therefore, the newspaper press, the acknowledged educators of the people, ought to bring the subject prominently before the public. Because of the existing need in this direction, we rejoice to know that an active movement is on foot to attract general attention to this science, We feel it too long overlooked by the masses.

& duty to aid in making known the fact that The New York Mercantile Journal Company are offering a premium of Two Thousand Dollars for the best manuscript of an "Elementary Treatise on Political Economy" for use in public schools, and we call upon the craft in all parts of the Union to assist their noble endeavor.

This offer of $2,000, made by the enterprising

publishers of The New York Mercantile Journs entilatice but in oils of the

nal, is for the manuscript which may be deemed best adapted to bring the important subject clearly to youthful minds, and to the illiterate of maturer years, the same to be delivered to the committee of award on or before December 31st, 1872.

While selecting the other members of the committee of award from among the eminent literary men and educators of the country there was a peculiar fitness in choosing the two financial men above mentioned. Both Mr. Opdyke and Mr. Clews are widely known, and their eminent ability appreciated, in financial circles. The former gentleman has written a treatise upon political economy, and of the excellence of this work we reiterate the opinion which we have heretofore expressed. In our issue of July, 1870, we said "As a political economist, Mr. Opdyke deserves to stand in the front rank. He published an excellent treatise upon the subject in 1851, and it is to be regretted that his innate modesty restrained him from public. . . . The ideas advanced in this work relative to paper money are remarkably clear and sound; and it is a matter of surprise to us that such a

putting it prominently before the

comprehensive view of the science of money (and especially paper money) should have been promulgated at that period when the subject had not a tithe of the interest attached to it that it has at the present time. In the deservedly popular works of John Stuart Mill, Adam

Smith, Henry C. Carey, and others, on political miete subserviency to prevailing prejudices relaeconomy, the subject of money is treated in a manner that indicates, beyond question, com

tive to the real office-work of money. Not so with Mr. Opdyke; he soars above prejudice, and brings his acute reasoning powers to bear upon the principles which govern finance and commerce.The (New York) Printer.

REV. JAMES MARTINEAU.

OLD and NEW began in July the publication of a Theological and Philosophalwork by REV. JAMES MARTINEAU, the great English philosopher and preacher. These essays are written EXCLUSIVELY FOR OLD AND NEW, by special arrangement with the author.

Religion; Natural, Revealed, and Apocalyptic.

The Messianic Apocalypse.

The Pauline and Johannine Doctrine of Christ's Person.

The Sense of Sin and the Doctrines of Redemption.

The Sacramental Superstition.

"Old and New," for August, has been published by Roberts Brothers. It is a good number, and contains one great article, namely the second part of James Martineau's paper on "God in Nature." Probably there is no other periodical in the country which has on the list of its contributors a person who could write such an article. Mr. Martineau is not only a learned and critical theologian, a profound thinker, an attractive rhetorician, but he thoroughly understands the last results of scientific investigation, and clearly perceives the essential points of difference which now divide science from religion. Theologically he would, we suppose, be classed with the Rationalists; but the fact that his thinking is not limited by any religious creed makes him the most formidable opponent of that school of positivists, the tendency of whose teaching is to abolish religion altogether, and to substitute systemstized knowledge in its place: While he is a man of "liberal" opinions, he has strong religious instincts and deep spiritual intuitions. Untrammelled by any "Confession of Faith," he goes directly to the heart of every question he discusses. His purpose is, in a close grapple with the minds of his adversaries, to show that they are deficient in some of the finest and noblest qualities of mind. He exhibits in clear light that spiritual side of our nature which his opponents obscure or ignore.

At the close of his paper Mr. Martineau contrasts God in Nature, acting through Law, with God in Man, acting through Love. It seems to us that the insight and the eloquence, the depth of the thought and the natural elevation of the language in the following passage, recall to the mind the grand style of the elder English divines of such men as Hooker, Taylor and Barrow, who morally lived in the high region of spiritual verities which they intellectually announced.
