"The object of Oahspe is not to supplant the former Bibles, nor Vedas, nor other sacred books; nor is Oahspe a revision or compilation of any of them; but it is a new Bible. It is rather a Bible comprising the causes of all other Bibles, with revelations of the heavens also. Other Bibles have been for a tribe or race of people only; this one is for all the races and peoples on the earth, showing how the former sacred books were parts of one stupendous plan of our Father for bestowing light upon mortals. Through Oahspe we learn why the Chinese became Confucians, why the Hindoos became Brahmins and Buddhists, and why the western migratory people became Jews and Christians. In Oahspe we find the necessity for this revelation, which provides for the fellowship of all peoples. It is also the only Bible that reveals the affairs of the angels of heaven, what they do, how they live and travel, and the parts that many of them play with mortals; in fact, it reveals to us a heaven worth living for."-Note by the Publishers.

Peyton (J. L.)-History of Augusta County, Va. 8vo. cloth, pp. 394. Staunton (Va.). £1 1s.

"A strong wish to preserve, in a permanent form, a record of the past, that it may no longer be clouded by ignorance nor perplexed by fiction; to rescue from unmerited oblivion the memories of our founders, whose heirs we are, with respect to civil and religious laws, language, science and territory; to keep alive in their descendants a love and veneration for their memories and a spirit of patriotism, has been the chief incentive to this work." With these views the writer has undertaken the task of preparing a history of his native county. In the scope of his design he could only aim at a brief sketch or outline of the subject previous to 1790, when the county assumed its present confines. He has endeavoured to exhibit the principal events which belong to the history of the valley and the western country. At the close of several chapters, anecdotes, incidents related by living persons, genealogical memoranda, extracts from public records, original deeds, etc., have been inserted.
