Mackenzie's Life of Paul Jones.

Portrait. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin. $1 00.

No better biographer for such a character could have been found.-Courier and Enquirer. We are glad to see the life of this celebrated man by one competent to write it. His adventures border so much on the marvelous that one is glad to be sure of reading only what is authentic, and that written in a style and language becoming the subject. There is a good mora! lesson conveyed in this life of Paul Jones.-Christian Advocate and Journal.

The various biographies of Paul Jones now extant have been carefully searched by Mr. Mackenzie; as also the log books of Jones's various cruises and papers in possession of his heirs, with a view to procure a full and authentic collection of facts and incidents for the pres ent work.-Philadelphia Chronicle.

Parrot's Ascent of Mount Ararat.

Engravings. 12mo, Muslin. 50 cents.

Hardly a subject could have been selected more stirring in its character than "A Journey to Ararat." Held in equal veneration by Jew, Christian, and Mohammedan, and regarded with superstitious feelings even by the pagan, that mountain has always enjoyed a degree of celebrity denied to any other. Sinai, and Horeb, and Tabor may have excited holier musings; but Ararat "the mysterious"-Ararat, which human foot had not trod after the restorer of our race, and which, in the popular opinion, no human foot would be permitted to tread till the consummation of all things-Ararat the holy, which winged cherubim protected against the sacrilegious approach of mortals, and which patriarchs only were permitted to revisit, appeared in many respects an object of curiosity as unique as it was exciting.-London Atheneum.

Feuerbach's Remarkable German Criminal Trials.

12mo, Muslin. 50 cents.

Its illustration of the many curious customs of German criminal jurisprudence will be sufficiently startling to the English reader; but, apart from this, the extraordinary subtle discrimination thrown into the narrative of each particular crime gives to the volume, as a mere story book, the intellectual interest, the passion, and all the rich and varions coloring of a philosophical romance. The translation is excellent, and a judicious compression of the orignal has added much to the effect.-London Examiner.

Darwin's Journal of Researches

During the Voyage of H. M. Ship Beagle round the World.
2 vols. 12mo, Muslin. $100.

This is a work of remarkable interest and value. The amount of information condensed in these volumes is incredible; and the skill with which the useful and interesting is selected from that which is unimportant or well known is admirable. Without one quarter of the bulk or pretension of our famous exploring expedition, the present work is hardly inferior to it in value and interest. This series is gaining a fine character, of which we hope the publishers will be jealous.-New York Evangelist.

A work very neatly issued, and has the interest of a leading subject well developed, the unfailing secret of producing a book of character. In the present state of the world, when new countries are opening every day to the conqueror, Commerce, such publications are of unusual importance.-News.

Mrs. Farnham's Life in Prairie Land.

12mo, Muslin. 50 cents.

This is a delightful book, and will afford most agreeable reading. The authoress has a quick eye and graphic pen, and describes the statistics of a large city or the peculiar mode of a sun-bonnet with the same facility and pleasantness.-North American.

It is made up of a series of charming and life-like pictures of a personal residence in the Far West-perfect Daguerreotypes of a settler's daily habits, &c., together with graphic sketches of travel in various sections of that far-spreading and fertile country. The work is enlivened by a rich vein of irresistible humor, interwoven with passages of great power and eloquent beauty, eminently impressive and suggestive.-Democratic Review.

Ek. Marvel's Fresh Gleanings.

12mo, Muslin, $1 25; Paper, $1 00.

This is decidedly the most agreeable book of the season. It reminds one by an occasional association of ideas, rather than resemblance or imitation, of Sterne's "Sentimental Journey." It abounds with acute observation, wit, and vivacity, and describes scenes of great interest rarely visited by continental travelers.-Rochester Advertiser.

Southey's Life of John Wesley.

2 vols. 12mo, Muslin. $200.

All will agree that Southey is the best biographer in our language: his life of Wesley is one of his most successful efforts.-Britannia.

As a library book, this edition is sure to make its way; we can hardly promise readers a more gratifying enjoyment than to go over the biography from beginning to end; we have found it a great treat.-Literary Gazette.

Smith's Consular Cities of China.

Illustrated with numerous Engravings. 12mo, Muslin, $1 25; Paper, $1 00.

A work as instructive as it is entertaining: we have met with none that has given us so full an insight into the individual character of the Chinese; that has made us so familiar with the thinkings and habits of an ordinary intelligent Chinese.-Commercial Advertiser.

This work is written in a graceful, flowing style, in an amiable spirit, and indicates an unusual facility in the matter of describing scenes and events. It reveals a large fund of interesting and valuable information.-New York Recorder.

D'Esraeli's Amenities of Literature.

2 vols. 12mo, Muslin. $1 50.

In many respects this is the most valuable of all the literary productions of its erudite and curious author. It abounds in acute and learned criticisms upon authors and their works, and brings to light a vast deal of information respecting the early literature of the language, and shows the influence of authors and their views upon the age in which they lived. It is charmingly intermingled with anecdote and incident.-Biblical Repository.

Browne's Etchings of a Whaling Cruise,

With Engravings. 2 vols. 8vo, Muslin. $2 00.

Quite worthy to be the companion of Dana's "Two Years before the Mast."-Edin. Review. This is a minute and apparently faithful account of the romantic and exciting, but danger ous adventures of a whaling cruise. The extreme hardships to which the common sailor is often subjected by the tyranny of the officers, are described with the truth and graphic power which personal experience alone could give.-Christian Intelligencer.

Prof. Upham's Memoirs of Madame Guyon.

With Portraits. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin. $200.

The subject of this remarkable biography was a woman of rich endowments; her sufferIngs and her triumphs can not fail to endear her memory to the Christian world.-Presbyterian. He writings and life constitute a bright page in the history of that period. Her life was active and useful, and her writings evince a vivid intellect.-Albany Journal.

Schlegel's Philosophy of Life and Language.

12mo, Muslin, 90 cents; Paper, 80 cents.

For a book to replenish wisdom and solidify the cast of your mind's habit, we scarce know a better one than this. It is sound, elaborate, and most instructive, and has already, by wiss consent. passed into a sort of philosophic gospel.--N. P. WILLIS.

Parker's Outlines of General History.

12mo, Sheep. $100.

I have examined Mr. Parker's "Outlines of History" with sufficient care to enable me to form an opinion of its merits, particularly with reference to its plan. The great use of a manual for early instruction in history, is not so much in imparting historical knowledge as in creating an interest in the subject, and inducing the pupil to read and instruct himself. Mr. Parker's book can not fail to do this: by his course of judicious Questions he calls up those events in the history of every age and nation most likely to arrest the attention of young persons, and give them a taste for historical reading. It also contains as great an amount of historical information as could be given in the same number of pages. Its great excellence is its perfect adaptation to the purpose for which it is intended, showing, as all Mr. Parker's manuals do, that it is the work of an experienced and successful teacher.-Prof. J. G. Coas

WELL.

Prof. Schmitz's History of Rome.

12mo, Muslin. 75 cents.

It will undoubtedly take the place of every other text-book of the kind in our schools and colleges.-Bibliotheca Sacra.

Indisputably the best school-book, on the subject it treats, existing in the English language. We trust that it will be immediately and universally adopted as a text-book in this country.Methodist Quarterly Review.

It will be esteemed a real treasure by all whose time and means forbid access to the more elaborate and extended classical historians.- Literary World.

Abbott's Summer in Scotland.

With Engravings. 12mo, Muslin. $1 00.

This book has great freshness, and not a little novelty. It is, indeed, exceedingly interest ing, and well worthy a careful perusal. The author, who is well known as a writer to the public, has the happy faculty of picturing the minute incidents and details which give character to every thing, and he thus gives an exact and definite representation where too many writers offer only vague outlines, without any precise character, and which make no vivid and definite impression. The history of a visit to the collieries, in this work, is very graphic and highly interesting, and the entire narrative is one which will be read with pleasure Courier and Enquirer.

Sismondi's Literature of the South of Europe.

2 vols. 12mo, Muslin. $200.

This is a thoroughly revised edition, including all the notes and additions incorporated into the late French edition; comprising, among other interesting novelties, some unpublished verses by Lord Byron, translated from the Italian of Casti. The translations of French, Portuguese, and Spanish verse, are by Wifflin, Cary, Roscoe, and others. An extended index is appended.

A work written in that flowing and graceful style which distinguishes the anthor, and succeeding in all that it seeks to give a pleasing and popular, yet not superficial or unsatisfac tory account of the best authors in the southern language.-HALLAM.

Webber's Old Hicks the Guide;

Or, Adventures in the Camanche Country in search of a Gold Mine.

12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Paper, 75 cents.

This book abounds with stirring details of most thrilling and startling adventure in various parts of the Indian country. It is the personal narrative of a Texan ranger in search of a gold mine, and includes a rapid succession of incidents of the wild and wonderful, rarely, if ever, surpassed. The volume forms a complete counterpart to Melville's "Omoo," presenting a series of new and surprising encounters in the western interior, as that work did in the isles of the Pacific.

Boyd's Eclectic Moral Philosophy.

12mo, Sheep, 874 cents; Muslin, 75 cents.

As a selection of the best thoughts of other writers on the various topics usually comprised in a system of morals, claiming originality for its plan, it is eminently worthy of admission into our private libraries; and I have no doubt may be used with advantage in our literary institutions of every grade.-Prof. MANDEVILLE, Hamilton College, New York.

A careful examination of this work, we are satisfied, will not fail to produce the conviction that it possesses more substantial merit than any other work of the kind yet published.-Professor DODD.

The work has an additional advantage, which no other of the kind can possess, of suggesting to the pupil the works and authors where the various topics are more extensively treated. It is, in fact, an excellent guide-book for an exploration of the wide and tangled field of moral science.-Biblical Repository.

Boyd's Rhetoric and Literary Criticism.

12mo, half Bound. 50 cents.

This is a valuable school-book. It contains, in a small compass, the cream of the more la bored compilations of Blair and Watts, and has thus to the student saved labor in the acqu sition of useful knowledge. This work is highly recommended by the Secretary of State.Albany Argus.

Draper's Text-book on Chemistry.

With nearly 300 Illustrations. 12mo, Sheep. 75 cents.

For a concise, lucid, and complete analysis of this delightful science, this manual must take undoubted precedence. The recent improvements and discoveries of the German and English writers on chemistry have their appropriate notice in the present volume, and, as far as we have been able to ascertain, Dr. Draper has given in a succinct form the best arranged system of chemical lore yet offered to the student. The origin of the present work was the outline courses of the professor's lectures to his classes at the University.-Methodist Quart. Review

Draper's Text-book on Natural Philosophy.

With nearly 400 Illustrations. 12mo, Sheep. 75 cents.

This new work of Dr. Draper's is well deserving the grateful acknowledgment of teachers never was there a book more wanted. We cheerfully recommend this volume to the variou academies and institutions where natural science is professed to be taught.-GILBERT L. HUME, Professor of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy.

Harper's New York Class-book.
Arranged by William Russell.

12mo, half Sheep. $1 25.

This book ought certainly to be universally introduced to the youth of the state, whose history, biography, &c., it illustrates. It has long been regretted that the popular reading books were not made to subserve some other purpose than mere instruction in the uses of language and here we have a large and very carefully-prepared volume, which, while it is not deficient in point of style and language, will impress upon the youthful learner's mind that sort of knowledge which is most of all essential, as well as interesting, to the citizens of this great state. Methodist Quarterly Review.

Russell's Juvenile Speaker.

12mo, half Bound, 70 cents; Muslin, 60 cents.

It gives excellent rules, which are so simple that all may understand them, and so strikingly necessary that all must respect them. In fact, the work is in keeping with the progress of the age, and is therefore a great improvement on all that have gone before it of the same class. The selections, by the way, are all gems.-Farmer and Mechanic.
