New Publications

Received at the Office of the AMERICAN PUBLISHERS' CIRCULAR. [In the following List will be found the names of such books only as have been sent to this Journal. The titles of all books as they are issued will be regularly inserted in the proper column.]

ROBERT CARTER & BROTHERS have got out "Christ and the Inheritance of the Saints, illustrated in a Series of Discourses from the Colossians," by Thomas Guthrie, D.D., author of "The Gospel in Ezekiel," etc. They also publish two volumes by A. L. O. E., "The Mine" and Old Friends with New Faces."

JAMES MILLER publishes "The New Science; or, Mento-Theology: the Parables for the Clergy, but Intelligence for the People, by Sciencia," who says: "In bringing this book before the public, the author wishes to be properly understood, believing it to be divested of all sectarian tendencies, he claims for it a position heretofore unoccupied-that of teaching mental and religious philosophy upon a scientific and systematic basis; and those who read and study the same will have an ample opportunity of tracing the identity and connection of mental, mathematical and religious science as they are found to exist in the mental and material worlds. True, it may be found to contain some things that all who read may not agree with, which is common to all books; but at the same time we are inclined to think the more it is read and studied, the more it will be appreciated, not only for the truths it contains, but also, as may be seen, for the good intentions of the author in striving to do away with ambiguous and mysterious language when used for the purpose of communicating systematic intelligence on a scientific and religious basis. In conclusion, we hope that the book may be read and studied without prejudice by an enlightened and thinking public, who will find that their intellectual intelligence will not be misled by consulting the simple but systematic truth as it exists in the works of nature and revelation."

CROSBY, NICHOLS & Co. send us a copy of "Street Thoughts," by Rev. Henry M. Dexter, pastor of Pine Street Church, Boston. It contains Illustrations by Billings.

F. A. BRADY publishes "The Snake in the Grass," by Pierce Egan; and "Pierre the Partisan: a Tale of the Mexican Marches," by Henry William Herbert.

THREE POPULAR BOOKS.

Stereoscopic Views.

D. APPLETON & COMPANY,

The above prices represent the two extremes, from the ordinary good to the very best in the market, but between the two there is every intermediate fractional rate, depending o quality of photography and attractiveness of subject. Views on glass include the most noted scenes in every country in Europe, in Americe, in Egypt and the Holy Land, whether their celebrity is owing to natural beauty or historic association. The Monuments of Egypt, Jerusalem and its environs, Constantinople and the Golden Horn, Greece and Italy with their classic ruins, the Alps and Pyrenees, the romantic Rhine, the grand Cathedrals, magnificent Palaces, and all the greatest works of art, ancient and modern, have been prepared for the stereoscope with the most exquisite skill and the most astorishing fidelity.

Paper views include landscapes and noted edifices in America, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France. Spain, Germany and Holland. These vary in degree of photographic excellence, but all have the wonderful stereoscopic effect, and convey the most faithful impression of the objects which they represent. In addition to out-door views, the pictures on paper comprise a great variety of scenes, or tableaux vivants, such as Ball Rooms, Penics, Fireside and Family Groups, Characters and Situations from the drama, Still Life, such as Game, Fruits and Flowers, Statuary, etc, etc

The above are almost unlimited in number, as, perhaps, no less than 20.000 different views have been prepared for sale; and of these, while some retain a regular and permanent price, a large portion fluctuate in that respect in accordance with supply and demand.

D. A. & Co. would call especial attention to the

ORIGINAL AMERICAN GROUPS

OF THE

NEW YORK STEREOSCOPIC COMPANY,

for whom they are the exclusive agents.

These views comprise about 100 varieties, and are got up with the utmost nicety; carefully photographed pasted on the best and most substantial card-board, and very handsomely colored. These views are entirely new sold by no other wholesale house; and very far superior to any heretofore manufactured. The supply having hardly sufficed for the retail department of D Appleton & Co. during the holidays, is now replenished, and they are offered to the Trade at

$4 net, 5 per cent. off for cash, per dozen.

They are guaranteed'perfect, and are confidently recommended to dealers as very saleable in competition with the very best English groups. The following list comprises a portion of the subjects now ready.

All orders executed with scrupulous care. Correspondents may depend on receiving as good a selection, and as at low prices, by ordering through mail as by personal attend. ance, the intention being to supply the best articles at the most moderate rates.

Stereoscopic boxes from $12 to $40 per dozen. Panoramic boxes holding from 25 to 100 slides, from $25 to $75.

The sale of Stereoscopic Instruments and Pictures has been found very appropriate and profitable to booksellers, and most of those who have engaged in the business have not been disappointed in the result. A sufficient stock for trial may be had for from $50 to $100.

NOTES FROM PLYMOUTH

PULPIT:

A Collection of Memorable Passages from the Discourses of HENRY WARD BEECHER, With a Sketch of Mr. Beecher and the Lecture Room. By AUGUSTA MOORE. 1 neat 12mo. Price, $1 00.

"This is a characteristic volume, sparkling all over with diamonds, breathing at once humor and satire; feeding the hungry with the bread of lite, and opening heaven to the dying "New Haven Journal.

"It is the most graphic description of Henry Ward Beecher and his various attitudes and moods that we have ever met with. That preliminary article, as one of the most suc cessful pen and ink portraitures ever attempted, is alone worth the price of the book.”— Chicago Christian Herald.

Every page has the stamp of Mr. Beecher's mind. The same particular modes of thought and happy turns of expression, the wit and drollery which sometimes sparkle even in his most solemn discourses, are here."-N. Y. Erangelist.

"This volume still further illustrates the wonderful vitality and vigor of the Christianity of the remarkable man whose thoughts it chronicles. Its pages glow with generous and true sentiments, and burn with holy zeal for the Redeemer's interests."-Boston Congregationalist.

No one can fail to discover the living words, the biting satire, and burning thoughts of Beecher in most of the Notes. It is a book well calculated to arouse the Pharisees of the present day to a sense of their duty to God and their fellow-men."-Rural New-Yorker, The terseness of style, abundance of figure, boldness of thought end vividness of description, which are the individual characteristics of Mr. Beecher, both as a speaker and writer, abound in the book, We like it much."-N. Y. Christian Intelligencer.

[ocr errors][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small]

"The boldness and beauty of the conception on which this book is constructed, command the reader's admiration, and the splendor of the diction, the elevation of the sentiment, and the purity of the style are worthy of a master of rhetoric, as well as Christian scholar.

"At first blush the pious mind is startled by the attempt to bring the earthly and heav enly into such associations as are here presented; but the general view of the author is in harmony with the scriptural teachings, and is supported by the opinions of many great and good men."

From the Boston Post.

"The scenes are drawn with graphic power, and the genius loci' is sustained with a skill we have never found in any modern writer. As a view of Christianity from the author's stand point it is almost unequalled, and we commend it to all those who would understand that proud elevation of feeling which sustains mankind through fiery trials, and who would learn the joys which await the faithful. The book is full of thought and erudition, and the foot-uotes alone are worthy of the perusal of every scholar."

From the St. Louis Daily Democrat,

"Strange and daring as it may seem, it is none other than a novel founded on heaven -an attempt to portray the life beyond the grave in the customary show of this earth. The work has a strange fascination about it that will enlist many more readers than those who approve either its plot or portrayal. Indeed, we all have our notions of the hereafter drawn from the sensuous experiences of this world. This we believe is true from Bunyan, who described 'the shining city' to Jeremy Taylor's poor widow, who thought that heaven was a place of rest, where she should sit in a clean white apron and sing psalms.' Shall we then condemn unheard this new and weird author, who would write forth in symbols of our daily life his imagings of the Upper World? Or shall we rather say with Pollock : -The song

SOME OF THE GOOD THINGS SAID OF IT "This is an exceedingly interesting and well-written book. We have rarely met a more thoroughly domestic story; it is very much in the style of Miss Austin's novels, pure and sweet in its morals, and kindly and gentle in its lessous."-N. Y. Daily Times.

"That righteousness should be the object, truth the guide, and eternity the motive force of life, is the grand moral of this instructive portraiture of character. The pen which can produce a story like this, cannot fail to minister pleasure and profit to the public."-N. Y. Christian Intelligencer.

This work, it is believed, is the first attempt to marshal the Literature of the United States of America during the last forty years, according to the generally received biblio. graphical Canons. The Librarian will welcome it, no doubt, as a Companion Volume to Brunet, Lowndes and Ebert, whilst to the bookseller it will be a faithful guide to the American branch of English Literature-a branch which on account of its rapid increase and rising importance, begins to force itself daily, more and more, upon his attention. Nor will the work be of less interest to the man of letters, inasmuch as it comprises complete tables of Contents to all the more prominent Collections of the Americans, to the Journals, Memoirs, Proceedings and Transactions of their learned Societies-and thus furnishes an intelligible Key to a Department of American scientific activity, hitherto but imperfectly known and understood in Europe.

"I should be thankful if any recommendation of mine could tend to give wider influence to the " Annotated Paragraph Bible." If the portions yet to appear bear a fair resem blance to what is before the public, the work may be placed with confidence in every school and family. Some will still require copious comments, which, nevertheless, deter and confound many; but the majority of Bible students will rejoice in an edition in which the sacred Text is the principal thing, while indispensable explanations are not withheld Without undertaking to subscribe to every interpretation, I take pleasure in recommending the work."

From Rev. George W. Bethune, D. D.

"I concur in the recommendation of Dr. Alexander."

From the Rev. Dr. Wayland.

"Gentlemen,-I learn with great pleasure that you are about to republish the 'Anno tated Paragraph Bible' of London Religious Tract Society. I have carefully examined a considerable portion of the work, and consider it eminently adapted to increase and diffuse a knowledge of the Word of God. The notes are precisely what the reader of the Scriptures desires-learned, judicious and able, and everywhere throwing light on the meaning of the text. I heartily recommend it to Christians of every denomination, and especially to the Teachers of Bible Classes and Sabbath Schools, to whom it will prove an invaluable aid."

From Rev. Dr. Tyng.

"There can be but one opinion about the new edition of the Paragraph Bible,' in course of publication by the London Religious Tract Society, and I am most glad you have undertaken its republication here. I should be glad, in any way within my reach, to promote the success of the enterprise."

From Professor II. B. Smith, of the Union Seminary.

"The plan of the Annotated Paragraph Bible' is excellent, and the work seems to have been executed with great care and judgment. In the same compass, it would be difficult to compress any more of the right sort of materials for the profitable study of the Bible, by all classes of readers. The notes are brief and pertinent; the chronological lists, the maps and references, have been prepared with great diligence. The work commends itself to careful study and general diffusion."

Curiosities of Natural History. By Francis T. Buckland, M.A., Student of Christ Church, Oxford.

From the third London edition.

"In natural history, as well as in other researches, it is too much the practice to copy facts and observations from printed booksthe volume of Nature herself being left unopened. It has been the aim of the author to search into this wonderful book, to record facts which came under his own eyes, at the same time not neglecting the numerous works and lectures of celebrated naturalists; and the book before us is probably the most complete collection of instructive and anec. dotal sketches upon the interesting subject of Natural History which has ever appeared. 12mo. Muslin. Illustrated. Price, $1 25.

THIRD.

The American Chess Book, And History of the Chess Congress of 1857.

Containing the Games, Problems, and Proceedings of the first Assemblage of American Amateurs, with a History of the Games in the Old and New Worlds. Incidents in American Chess History, being a full account of American Chess and Chess Players, from the days of Franklin, including the career of the celebrated Automaton in the United States, the finest games played in the great American matches of past years, and a large number of Paul Morphy's European and American contests, together with the Rules for playing Chess, as adopted in 1858 by the New York Chess Club-By David Willard Fisk, Secretary of the Congress, and Editor of the New York Chess Monthly; assisted by Paul Morphy and Lewis Paulsen.

Ethel's Love Life.

A New England Novel. By Mrs. M. J. M. Sweat. 12mo. Muslin. Price, $1. "Power and purity are the twin exclusives of this novel. Without an overstrained scene, it has vigor; and without dullness, is pure and natural. Few persons are introduced, who play their part upon no exalted theatre, and around whom are thrown no extraordinary attractions. The effort to make the reader interested in the few prin cipal characters is one that the most experienced novelist might well have avoided, and yet is entirely successful."

"My object is to call attention to the fact that a Policy of Life Insurance is the cheapest and safest mode of making a certain provision for one's family."-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

"One should insure in health, as sickness may suddenly overtake the most robust, and disqualify him for insurance."

"Life Insurance the best investment. It long-lived, the insured obtains a good interest on the premium paid, in cash dividends, and in most instances a very large return for a small outlay. In case of death there is a great advantage over Savings Banks."

"The average length of human life is only Thirty-three years. Of 500 persons, only 1 lives 80 years, and of 100, only 6 live 65 years."

The surplus is divided among all the policy holders, in CASH, thus affording a good and certain rate of interest upon the outlay of premiums, and avoiding the large and unnecessary accumulations of unpaid dividends of uncertain tendency, and erroneously called capital.

One-half of the first five annual premiums on life policies loaned to insurers if desired; the remaining half may be paid quarterly. The premiums are as low as those of any reliable Company.

This is the oldest American Mutual Life Insurance Company, and one of the most successful, and is purely Mutual, dividing all the surplus profits among all the Insured.

Insurance may be effected for the benefit of married women beyond the reach of their husbands' creditors. Creditors may insure the lives of debtors.

Blank form of application for insurance, or the Company's pamphlet, containing the charter, rules and regulations, also the annual reports, showing the condition of the Company, will be furnished gratis, and reference to parties in New York will be given when desired, upon application at the
