Harper's New Classical Library, The want of a Series of LITERAL TRANSLATIONS of the Greek and Latin au- thors who are usually studied in the American course of Academic education, has been long felt by the most intelligent and assiduous classical teachers. That they are capable of being abused by the indolent and unfaithful pupil is no plea against their utility when employed in their legitimate place. A translation of an ancient writer into English, as perfectly literal as is permitted by the idioms of the respective languages, affords an invaluable aid to the instructor in the ac- complishment of his arduous task. If executed with fidelity and skill, it saves much time and labor in the consultation of dictionaries, and embodies the best results of philological acumen and research in the shortest possible space. Pages of learned commentary are thus concentrated in the rendering of a single word. The works which it is proposed to issue are reprints from "Bonn's CLASSICAL LIBRARY," brought out uniform with the English edition, and comprising faith- ful translations of the principal Greek and Latin classics. Each work will be given without abridgment, and will include short suggestive notes, adapted to the comprehension as well as the actual wants of the student. Copious and accurate indices will be appended to every translation. No version will be adopted without ample and thorough revision, correcting its errors by the lights of modern research, and placing it on a level with the present improved state of philological learning. This Niw CLASSICAL LIBRARY has received a cordial welcome from the whole corps of American classical teachers. The important uses of such a work in their daily avocations are too obvious to require discussion. Nor is the interest of the series confined to teachers by profession. Every reading man, though destitute of a knowledge of the ancient languages, feels a laudable curiosity to form an acquaintance with the incomparable models of literary art which they have pre- served. In the literal translations with which he is furnished by the present series, he will find the information that he seeks, enabling him to comprehend current classical allusions with facility, to become familiar with the true spirit of the ancients, and to share in conversation and studies which presuppose a knowledge of Greek and Roman antiquity. The following volumes are now ready. Portraits. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents each. Virgil. Sallust, Horace. Cicero's Orations. Cicero's Offices, &c. Tacitus. 2 vols. Terence. Juvenal, (In Press.) Xenophon. Homer's Iliad. Herodotus. Demosthenes. 2 vols. Thucydides. lEschylus. Sophocles. Euripides, 2 vols. For Full Titles, see other parts of this Catalogue. HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.

The general reader, the student, the merchant, and the artizan, will find in this work all the information adapted to their special requirements, brought down, as nearly as possible, to the present day, in a form more commodious and accessible than in any other work of similar character which has ever been of- fered to the public. The late censuses of the United States of America, Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and the returns of Mexico, the States of Cen- tral America, South America, Great Britain, and the countries of Continental Europe, and many elaborate and complete works upon Statistics and Geography, and various special branches of science, have been laboriously consulted in the preparation of the present work, and the information contained in them has been arranged and classified in such a manner as to be really available to the inquirer.

This work is intended as a complete text-book of general history for the use of schools. It does not consist, as is often the case with books of this class, of a condensed summary of names, dates, and detached chronological events, but presents in a simple and connected narrative, a general view of the great leading events that have occurred in the history of the world, beginning at the earliest periods and coming down through the Assyrian, Persian, Grecian, Roman, and British empires, to the organization of the American Republic, and the estab- lishment of the American Constitution. It is intended for Americans, and the narrative consequently follows the line which leads to, and is most directly con- nected with, the events of our own histoiy. The work is fully illustrated with maps and engravings, and is prepared with questions on a new and very conve- nient plan for the use of teachers.

Hildreth's History of the United States, FIRST SERIES. From the First Settlement of the Country to the Adoption of the Federal Constitution. 3 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $6 00 ; Sheep extra, $6 75 ; Half Calf, $9 00. SECOND SERIES. From the Adoption of the Federal Constitu- tion to the End of the Sixteenth Congress. 3 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $6 00; Sheep extra, $6 75 ; Half Calf, $9 00. This work, by common consent of the most competent judges, has attained the rank of a standard authority on the subject of American history. In a terse, compact, and highly perspicuous narrative, the writer traces the progress and Dorkings of American institutions until the close of the administration of Pres- ident Monroe. The course of legislation since the establishment of our National Independence is minutely described, receiving .from the hands of the author, the degree of attention which its importance demands. In relating the early settle- ment of the Colonies and the events of the Revolutionary struggle, he crowds a great amount of matter into a narrow compass, leaving no important incident untouched, but never tempted by the interest of the theme into an unnecessary diffuseness. The work is especially valuable as a book of reference, a manual for instruction in American history. In no other way can the student of our annals find such a clear, precise, and copious statement of events, as by consulting these volumes. The accuracy of their details, the acuteness and sobriety of their com- ments, and the masculine vigor and naturalness of their style, make them equal- ly indispensable to the statesman, the politician, the man of letters, and the gen- eral reader.

By JOHN Lo- THROP MOTLEY. With a Portrait of William of Orange. 3 vols. 8vo, Muslin, 6 00; Sheep, $6 75; Half Calf, $9 00. In this valuable contribution to historical literature, by an American writer, we have a parallel to the masterly productions which have given such an envia- ble celebrity to the names of Irving, Prescott, Bancroft, and Hildreth in a simi- lar department of composition. It embraces the period from the abdication of Charles V., in 1555, to the death of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, in 1584. The memorable conflict between the feudal institutions of the Middle Ages and the dawning light of modern liberty; between the most malignant form of religious bigotry, and the infant genius of toleration ; between the arro- gant claims of monarchical prescription and the timid aspiration of universal justice, is portrayed by Mr. Motley in vivid colors, and with enthusiastic sym- pathy in the cause of human progress. The foreground of the picture is occu- pied by that admirable specimen of patriotism and nobleness of character, Will- iam the Silent, whose eminent virtues belong to the same class of excellence as those which have since commanded the homage of the world in the person of Washington. The scene is crowded with significant and impressive events, con- nected with the development of political and religious freedom. Mr. Motley has produced a vigorous narrative, worthy of the great historical themes to which it is devoted. In beauty and animation of style, picturesque variety of grouping, and dramatic exhibition of character, his work is not surpassed by any of the classic historical productions which are among the most remarkable literary features of the age. Bancroft's Miscellanies, Literary and Historical Miscellanies. By GEORGE BANCROFT. 8vo, Muslin, $2 00 ; Half Calf, f 3 00. This volume comprises essays on several miscellaneous subjects, studies in German literature, with notices of the principal authors in that language, and poetical translations ; studies in histoiy, including various elaborate monographs on important topics ; and occasional addresses, among which are a tribute to John Calvin, a eulogy on William Ellery Channing, and a discourse before the His- torical Society on the Progress of the Human Race. The volume embraces a se- ries of compositions that spread over an interval of more than thirty-five years. The intrinsic value of its contents will make it welcome to all intelligent read- ers, while the lovers of literary history will follow, with curious interest, the course of study and of thought which has ripened into such a pure and exalted fame.

By GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS. Com- plete in two large and handsome Octavo Volumes. Muslin, $4 00 ; Law Sheep, $5 50 ; Half Calf, $6 00. This work, by an accomplished scholar, supplies a want which has never been adequately met in the historical literature of the country. It embraces the pe- riod from the commencement of the Revolution to the assembling of the Conven- tion of 1T8T, showing the causes which rendered the calling of that body inevita- ble, and which gave the shape and coloring to its decisions ; explaining the foun- dations on which our national liberty and prosperity were then settled by the statesmen to whom the American Revolution gave birth ; and presenting a se- ries of graphic memoirs of the principal members of the Convention. In pre- paring this great national work, Mr. Curtis enjoyed the encouragement and coun- sels of Daniel Webster, who took the liveliest interest in its completion, and urged its importance almost in the last days of his life. Written in a condensed and vigorous style, founded on accurate and persevering historical research, crowding a lively narrative with novel incidents and events, and presenting the characters of the illustrious framers of the Constitution in bold and discrimina- ting portraits, this highly important work is adapted to occupy a distinguished place in the records of American history. It is an accession of sterling merit to our Revolutionary annals, and can not fail to challenge the attention and admi- ration of our statesmen, scholars, and politicians, no less than the great body of the American people. Ticknor's History of Spanish Literature, With Criticisms on the particular Works, and Biographical No- tices of prominent Writers. 3 vols. 8vo, Muslin, f 6 00 ; Sheep extra, $6 75 ; Half, f 9 00. The author of this standard historical work has devoted the studies and labors of nearly a lifetime to its preparation. In point of comprehensiveness of plan, richness of information, sagacity of criticism, and thoroughness of execution, it may claim pre-eminence over any similar production in the English language ; and it is certainly not surpassed by the most celebrated master-pieces of its kind in Continental literature. It gives a complete survey of the origin and develop-" ment of Spanish literature, traces the progress of intellectual culture in that na- tion, presents copious biographical sketches of her great authors, with genial comments on their writings, and furnishes a variety of translations from the most celebrated poets. The style of the work is refined and classical, finished with exquisite propriety, and abounding in those subtle graces of expression, which distinguish the pen of the mature scholar. No work issued from the American press has received warmer commendation from European critics, or has done more to diffuse and elevate the fame of our native literature.

It is second in importance and value to no series of original works ever printed in this coun- try. Mr. Sparks' s labors can not be too highly estimated. His researches have been prosecuted with untiring diligence, and with such success that almost every question within their scope has been definitively settled. The great merits of Mr. Sparks are reverence for truth, soundness of judgment in regard to evidence, and exhausting fullness of detail and illustration. GriswolcCs Prose Writers.

With Wood-cuts and Charts. New Edition, greatly enlarged and improved. 8vo, Muslin, $1 50 ; Half Calf, A philosophical account of the winds and currents of the ocean of its depth and temperature, of the wonders that are hidden in its bosom, and of the phe- nomena that are exhibited at its surface. The economy of the sea and its adap- tations, its salts, its waters, its inhabitants also pertain to the subject, and are amply treated in the present volume. The discussion, it will be perceived, is of a unique character, and opens details that are rarely touched in the records of science. In the hands of Lieutenant Maury it assumes a popular interest, no less than scientific importance. His descriptions of the phenomena of the Gulf Stream, of the currents of the sea, and other cognate topics, are singularly graphic in their style, besides containing a rich fund of curious and valuable in- formation. It is rarely that a treatise on any branch of physical science is so attractive in its details or so fruitful in its instructions as this volume. The work has elicited universal interest and admiration both in America and Europe. Brodhead's History of New York, History of the State of New York. By JOHN ROMEYN BRODHEAD. First Period, 1609-1664. Svo, Muslin, $3 00; Half Calf, $4 00. In this elaborate volume, Mr. Brodhead has supplied the want of a thorough history of New York, with a completeness and accuracy of research, a genuine historical acumen, and a lucidity and vigor of style which at once elevate his work to the rank of a standard and classical authority on the subject. Mr. Brodhead has investigated the subject, to a great extent, by the aid of original materials. His pages not only bear the marks of extensive research, but of conscientious impartiality, excellent judgment, and refined and liberal scholarship.

Los SING. 2 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $8 00 ; Sheep extra, $9 00 ; Half Calf, $10 00 ; Morocco, gilt edges, $15 00. Sold only by Agents. A new and carefully revised edition of this magnificent work is just completed in two imperial octavo volumes of equal size, containing 1500 pages and 1100 engravings. As the plan, scope, and beauty of the work were originally devel- oped, eminent literary men, and the leading presses of the United States and Great Britain, pronounced it one of the most valuable historical productions ever issued in America. The prime object of the author in arranging his plan was to reproduce the history of the American Revolution in such an attractive manner, as to entice his countrymen to read the wonderful story, study its philosophy and teachings, and to become familiar with the founders of our Republic and the value of their labors. In this he has been eminently successful ; the pages of the Field-Book are read with the same avidity as those of a romance. Its exquisite illustrations have a lasting and intrinsic value as delineations of fact. An analysis shows that these illustrations exhibit 245 portraits, 475 auto- graphs of eminent men, 182 celebrated buildings, 62 maps and plans of battles, fortifications, &c., 46 views of battle-grounds, 102 views of other historical local- ities, 96 sketches of curious historical objects, 26 fac similes of manuscripts, 27 medals, seals, &c., 46 views of fortifications, sketches of 12 remarkable trees, 76 monuments, 24 old churches, 6 statues, 75 appropriate initial letters, and about a dozen miscellaneous fancy sketches. There are in all 1100 engravings, includ- ing 1500 distinct illustrations of objects described in the text. A very elaborate Analytical and Chronological Index has been prepared for each volume, by the late Rev. Dr. SHROEDER, which enables the student to read- ily find any name, event, locality, or fact mentioned in the war. For public and private libraries, for constant reference in families, and as a reading-book in households and schools, it has no superior among the many books offered to the public. Explanatory notes are profusely given upon every page in the volumes, and also a brief biographical sketch of every man distinguished in the events of the Revolution, the history of whose life is known. The Supple- ment of forty pages contains a History of the Naval Operations of the Revolu- tion; of the Diplomacy; of the Confederation and Federal Constitution; the Prisons and Prison-ships of New York ; Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and other matters of curious interest to the student of our his- tory. As a whole, it contains all the essential facts of the early history of our Republic, which are scattered through scores of volumes, often inaccessible to the great mass of readers. It forms a complete Guide-book to the tourist seeking for fields consecrated by patriotism, which lie scattered over our broad land. Nothing has been spared to make this great National Work complete, reliable, and eminently useful to all classes of citizens. Upward of $40,000 have been ex- pended in its publication. The publishers take great pleasure in presenting these volumes as the best specimen of typography ever issued from the American press.

We close this book with regret. From the first page to the last the animation, the characteristic energy, the buoyant spirit of the author remained undimin- ished. Our extracts might have been thrice trebled, and yet left the volumes rich in important and original matter. The political details, for instance, from, which we have systematically abstained, would in themselves be sufficient to render the work one of high interest and permanent value. Let our friends of the New World send out half a dozen such travelers as Mr. Stephens, and we predict that the records of their wanderings, discoveries, and adventures will do more to elevate the literary character of America than the angry philippics of all the reviewers and newspapers throughout the Union, backed though they may be by an entire phalanx of servile echoes in England.

Such, indeed, is the spirit of the author's descriptions, and the vivid force and truth of his narrative, that reading his work is like ac- companying him on his route, and the reader grows at last to take a personal in- terest in all his adventures. Athenaeum. Stephens's Travels in Egypt, Travels in Egypt, Arabia Petraea, and the Holy Land. By J. L. STEPHENS. Engravings. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $1 75 ; Half Calf, $3 45.

By CHAUNCEY A. GOOD- RICH, D.D., Professor in Yale College. 8vo, Muslin, $3 50 ; Sheep extra, $3 75 ; Half Calf, $4 50. In this carefully prepared volume, we have an important contribution to rhe- torical literature. Containing the speeches of the great British orators, which are regarded as the master-pieces of their respective authors ; a memoir of each orator, showing the leading events of his public life, and the distinctive charac- teristics of his oratory ; an historical introduction to each of the speeches, ex- plaining the circumstances of the case ; the state of parties and the exact point at issue ; an analysis of the longer speeches in side notes ; and a large body of critical and explanatory notes, together with translations of the passages quoted from foreign languages; it leaves nothing to be desired as a text-book of the po- litical and forensic eloquence of Great Britain. The copious and valuable mem- oirs and notices by the editor make this less a compilation than an original work. The manner in which he has performed his task is a model of accurate and thor- ough editorship. He has omitted nothing which the most exacting student could demand for the elucidation of the subject in hand, without ever being tempted to indulge in superfluous details, A great mass of attractive information is thus presented, and in a style of singular clearness, strength, and elegance. It is rarely that so much profound scholarship, sound judgment, refined taste, and vigorous expression are devoted to the critical preparation for the press of the standard productions of other writers. Dr, Sanger's History of Prostitution, The History of Prostitution: its Extent, Causes, and Effects thwughout the World.

This important work is the first serious attempt that has ever been made to collect into one volume all the facts respecting the great social evil, Prostitution. It contains a brief summary of all the facts and statistics given in the famous work of Parent Duchatelet, and in the more recent works by various authors on Prostitution in England, Germany, &c. The subject of Prostitution in the Uni- ted States is most thoroughly treated, with copious statistics from the Police rec- ords and other authentic sources of information. Dr. ganger's official experi- ence and the opportunities opened to him by the Governors of the Aims-House, have undoubtedly enabled him to produce a work that will necessarily become the text-book on this painful but vitally important subject, and which, as such, must form part of the library of every magistrate, physician, and philanthropist, not only in this country but throughout the civilized world. N. Y. Observer. It is a book that every magistrate, every professional man, and, indeed, most adult citizens should read. The enormous evil must be grappled with, and an able, scientific work upon it, like the present, is necessaiy in order that it may be intelligently treated. -JV. Y.

Mr. Squier has all the requisites for his undertaking. He has resided in the country for a considerable period in a distinguished position, and he has trav- ersed it in all directions. Of a high and bold spirit, a clear-sighted observer, and indefatigable even among those transatlantic Anglo-Saxons whom nothing tires, he is at once historian, geographer, archaeologist, naturalist, political econ- omist, politician, man of business, negociator, mineralogist, physiologist; when necessary he is even an engineer. He presents, in fact, a fine specimen of the most remarkable type of the North American, one who is fit for every thing, uniting flexibility of mind with force of will. Under these circumstances, Mr. Squier has been enabled to present us with a most interesting picture of Central America, in which he displays its various resources, astonishing in their variety.

This is a narrative of adventure on that part of the Eastern coast of Central America known as the " Mosquito Shore." It presents an animated and lively picture of the character and habits of the people and scenery of that coast, which lately had been invested with much interest on account of the pretensions set up there by Great Britain, and strenuously denied by the United States. A rapid sketch of the relations of the two countries is given in the Appendix.

In this brilliant volume of Eastern travels, the genius of the youthful author, who has since attained such eminent distinction, was first revealed to the literary public. Written in a style which combines the voluptuous softness of an Orient- al atmosphere with the sunny splendors of the tropics, it at once marked the writer as a new star in American literature. He takes the reader with him into rare and beautiful scenes of nature, unfolds the mysteries of Arabian life, and reproduces the strange incidents of a unique tour in language of wonderful viv- idness and force. The Howadji in Syria, By GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Half Calf, $1 85. A second volume of Oriental travel, distinguished for the same bold and strik- ing characteristics which give such a decided impress of beauty and power to the Nile Notes. It abounds in picturesque descriptions of the marvels of the Holy Land, throwing fresh light on ancient localities, and imbued with the spirit of sympathy and reverence for the sacred scenes which it calls forth from the dim oblivion of the past. Lotus-Eating. A Summer Book. By GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS. Beautifully Illustrated from Designs by Kensett. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents; Half Calf, $1 60. This delightful volume is a record of the summer rambles of the author, touch- ing gracefully on many of the most interesting spots in American scenery, and giving a series of lively pictures of the celebrated places of fashionable resort. Humor, pathos, and sentiment are generally blended in its pages, its reflections are always suggestive, its narratives never pall upon the taste, its brilliant word- painting is relieved by an undercurrent of genuine feeling, and its fresh and glow- ing descriptions give a new charm to familiar objects. The Potiphar Papers, By GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS. Illustrated from Drawings by HOPPIN. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Half Calf, $1 85. These papers made the reputation of the periodical in which they were first given to the world. They were hailed with the liveliest delight by the American reading world, who acknowledge in their anonymous author a new star in their literary firmament. As graphic and telling descriptions of a peculiar phase of American society they are unexcelled ; the fresh and sparkling wit, the genial humor, and keen and truthful satire with which "our Best Society" is dissected, have delighted thousands, and made "Mrs. Potiphar" a proverb. Hoppin's pencil has ably aided the pen of the Howadji in these collected sketches. Prue and I, By GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Half Calf, $1 85. In the character and fancies of an old bookkeeper, "who wears a white cravat and black trowsers in the morning, who rarely goes to the opera, and never dines out," the author of these charming essays has embodied the sweetest and most genial humor which has graced English literature since the delightful Essays of Elia. " Prue and I" is a book for the fireside, for a leisure hour, or for a sum- mer day.

Few of the younger American authors are more extensively read or more universally admired. His pictures of primi- tive social life in the islands of the South Sea possess an irresistible charm. The works devoted to this subject are redolent of the spicy fragrance of the native forests, and glow with the splendid lights of a tropical sky. In his other pro- ductions, comic humor is admirably blended with powerful description, grave reflection, and exciting narrative. Surpassed in originality by no recent writer in literature, his works form an epoch in its progress, and are indispensable in every library, Omoo; A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas.

Miss Sedgwick's Works. Miss Sedgwick has marked individuality ; she writes with a higher aim than merely to amuse. Indeed, the rare endowments of her mind depend in an unu- sual degree upon the moral qualities with which they are united for their value. Animated by a cheerful philosophy, and anxious to pour its sunshine into every place where there is lurking care or suffering, she selects for illustration the scenes of every-day experience, paints them with exact fidelity, and seeks to diffuse over the mind a delicious serenity, and in the heart kind feelings and sympathies, and wise ambition and steady hope. Her style is colloquial, pictur- esque, and marked by a facile grace, which is evidently a gift of nature. Her characters are nicely drawn and delicately contrasted ; her delineation of man- ners decidedly the best that have appeared. Prose Writers of America. Memoir of Joseph Curtis, A Model Man. By CATHARINE M. SEDGWICK. 16mo, Muslin, 50 cents. Joseph Curtis was a merchant and a philanthropist. In the course of an un- obtrusive and laborious business life of over fifty years, he proved how very much practical good can be accomplished in any society by a man of small means, but large and active faith. As the leader of the Manumission movement in New York, the originator and first superintendent of the Juvenile House of Kefuge, and as a most active and practical member of the School Board, his name will live in the memories of the citizens of New York. As a careful, kind, and lov- ing father, his life is a model for all. Miss Sedgwick's memoir is a plain state- ment of facts, without eulogy other than that contained in the facts themselves. Mr. Curtis' s career is a model for the youth of our land. Married or Single? A Novel. By CATHARINE M. SEDGWICK. 2 vols. 12mo, Mus- lin, $1 75. " In this book Miss Sedgwick has entered New York society, and selected her people as her actors. Without caricaturing, every person is drawn from life, with all the follies and all the virtues that make up a frequenter of New York circles. It is a simple, yet an absorbing story of modern life. In its progress, married life is laid bare of all its concealments, and the contrast with singleness of heart and life is made plain. The pains, trials, troubles, sorrows, and ago- nies resulting from marriage are among the prominent incidents of the history; yet the moral can scarcely be said to be in favor of single life."

By Miss C. M. SEDGWICK. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents. This volume is intended to furnish an answer to the question, "What is edu- cation?" It inculcates that physical and economical training, forethought, the formation of sound principles, useful habits, and pleasing manners, are a part of education ; that housewifery, cookery, the care of a sick-room, and even taste in dress, are essential parts of female education, as well as a knowledge of books, sciences, and accomplishments.

It presents an engaging picture of the affections by which life is endeared, the trials to which it is exposed, and the pure and peaceful enjoyments with which it may often be filled. The book abounds with generous and true sentiments, and those simple and reconciling truths which we are so apt to lose sight of in this bustling, work-day world ; and all conveyed, too, in that same elegant form which marks all of Mrs. Sigourney's writings. .y. Y. Courier and Enquirer. Letters to Mothers, By Mrs. L. H. SIGOURNEY. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents ; Muslin, gilt edges, 90 cents. The-e letters touch upon a great variety of topics of special interest to those to whom they are addressed. The privileges of the mother, the influence of chil- dren upon parents, the mutual relation of children and parents, the aims and ob- jects in life to be inculcated, are all treated of in a manner full of grace and fine feeling.

SIGOURNEY. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents ; Muslin, gilt edges, 90 cents. Mrs. Sigourney, in her "Letters to Young Ladies," has given evidence to the public that her capacity to impart instruction in matters of domestic economy, and the minor as well as the major morals that should regulate our conduct in our intercourse with the world, is equal to her power to thrill the heart and cap- tivate the senses by her beautiful creations of poetry. Literary Examiner. Myrtis, and other Sketchings, By Mrs. L. H. SIGOURNEY. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. Her writings are so pure, so refined, and appeal so directly to the best feelings of the heart, that they will ever hold a prominent place in our literature while these qualities are esteemed. But few modem writers have done more good with the pen, and we trust she may long be preserved for future usefulness. North American. Pocahontas, and other Poems, By Mrs. L. H. SIGOURNEY. Engravings. 12mo, Muslin, 90 cents. Her writings have endeared her name to the lovers of virtue and song every where. As a writer of verse she has high moral aims, and though this circum- stance, \vith ordinary talent, might entitle her to consideration, she can add the effectual claim of sterling literary excellence. Her poetry is characterized by ease, tenderness, a chastened fancy, and a delicate sensibility of whatever is beautiful in nature or charming in truth. It may be described in one word, as the poetiy of refined religious emotion. Chamber*. Jnvenal and Persius, Translated, The Satires of Juvenal. Translated by CHARLES BADHAM, M.D., F.R.S.

Many years have been devoted to the preparation of this comprehensive work, which contains complete and accurate sketches of the most distinguished women in all ages, and, in extent and thoroughness, far surpasses every previous -bio- graphical collection with a similar aim. Mrs. Hale has ransacked the treasures of history for information in regard to the eminent women whom it commemo- rates ; few, if any, important names are omitted in her volumes, while the living celebrities of the day are portrayed with justness and delicacy. The picture of woman's life, as it has been developed from the time of the earliest traditions to the present date, is here displayed in vivid and impressive colors, and with a living sympathy which could flow only from a feminine pen. A judicious selec- tion from the writings of women who have obtained distinction in the walks of literature is presented, affording an opportunity for comparing the noblest pro- ductions of the female mind, and embracing many exquisite gems of fancy and feeling. The biographies are illustrated by a series of engravings, which form a gallery of portraits of curious interest to the amateur, as well as of great his- torical value.

This work assumes that the American people are now pursuing a course in their own habits and practices that is destructive to health and happiness, and that they are systematically educating their children to become diseased, de- formed, and miserable, as much so as if it was their deliberate aim. The work points out the methods by which this is pursued, gives statistics to show the shocking results, and then points out the remedies for the evils already done, and the methods of prevention for the future.

The greater portion of this volume consists of speeches delivered in the United States House of Representatives, of which the author was a member during a most critical and eventful period. They are devoted to the discussion of the most important questions which have ever agitated the country; prominent among which are the sub-treasury scheme, the Mexican war, the peace which concluded this war, the form of government to be adopted for the newly-acquired territory, and the political aspects of the question of slavery. These are discuss- ed in the light of principles of universal application, rather than on mere tem- porary and party grounds. The addresses of a literary character which are ap- pended show that, in entering the stormy arena of politics, Mr. Hilliard has not neglected the pursuits of the accomplished scholar and thoughtful philosopher.

The Happy Home, By KIRWAN. 16mo, Muslin, 50 cents. This volume treats at length of the moral training which is essential to the young, and of the religious culture without which no ethical inculcations possess vitality. These important themes are discussed in a tone of earnest appeal, and illustrated by a great variety of incidents drawn from the experience of real life.

It has seldom fallen to our lot to read so interesting and touching a narrative of travel as abound in these volumes ; we were not prepared to find in them read- ing so very attractive, nor could we form any idea that such a narrative of toils and sufferings as are here detailed by the sufferer himself would probably present BO many points of instruction to the general reader. Methodist Quarterly Review. 36 HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. Boat Life in Egypt, Boat Life in Egypt and Nubia. By WM. C. PRIME. Illustra- tions. 12mo, Muslin, $1 25 ; Half Calf, $2 10. A volume of travel which deals in no dry description, but is full of the spirit of travel incident. Arabs and sunlight, ruins and moonlight, a chibouk with Abd- el-Kader Bey, and a solitary night with a dead sailor on the deck of a Nile boat, a seat in the lap of Memnon, and a seat in the bazaar on the shop front of Sulei- man the merchant these and a hundred other scenes of the traveler's experience appear on the pages which, at the same time, give clear, reliable, and valuable accounts of Ancient and Modern Egypt all these make it the most thorough and complete work on Egypt now extant. The Appendix contains full advice to trav- elers about to visit Egypt, and also a history and explanation of the hieroglyph- ics, which is not contained in any other work. Mr. Prime's own excavations and explorations, especially in the catacombs at Alexandria, and the crocodile pits at Maabdeh, are among the most interesting and valuable parts of the book. Tent Life in the Holy Land, By WM. C. PRIME. Illustrations. 12mo, Muslin, $1 25 ; Half Calf, $2 10. Mr. Prime went from Egypt to the Holy Land. This book contains the sketches of horseback travels up and down the holy hills. Traveling in the most comfort- able style, with a lady, surrounded by Bedouin and Egyptian attendants, he loit- ered through the sacred scenes, describing them while he describes his own ad- ventures. Ladies will learn from this book and Boat Life in Egypt what inci- dents they may anticipate, if they have courage to undertake the journey. Mr. and Mrs. Prime visited Hebron, entered the Mosque of Machpelah ; at Jerusalem they passed a day in the Mosque of Omar, and in various parts of the Holy Land they succeeded in visiting many places hitherto unseen by travelers. The book is enriched with a thorough history of the Holy Sepulchre and the Holy Cross. It contains a remarkable account of the English Princess who married a Bedouin at Palmyra, whose residence they visited. As a guide-book, and as a readable account of travel and adventure in the Holy Land, it has no equal. The Old House by the River, By WM. C. PRIME. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Half Calf, $1 85. This work consists of a series of highly agreeable sketches illustrating the odd- ities and delights of American life amid rural scenes and summer pastimes. The sketches are all conceived from the stand-point of an introvertive mind, tena- cious of old fancies and affections. The object of the book is clearly to excite at- tention toward the past and its attachments. There is a freshness and beauty in the details that come from the heart and reach the heart of the reader. Later Years, By WM. C. PRIME. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Half Calf, $ 1 85. "Later Years," like "The Old House by the River," consists of sketches, le- gends, descriptive essays, and the like. It is distinguished by the same sweet- ness and pathos of sentiment, the same picturesqueness and vigor of description, and the same graceful flow of diction, which have won such a flattering welcome to former productions of the author. He has made his place good among our most natural and forcible writers on rural scenes, and the present work will en- hance his enviable reputation. Though selecting prose for his medium of ex- pression, he has the eye and heart of a poet, and his words will always find an echo among readers of a poetical temperament.

As a work of systematic theology this has no equal in the language. The ad- mirable arrangement, the clear and eloquent style, the masterly and profound ar- gument, and the spirit of piety and reverence which characterize its pages, have long since given it a character in this country and England that no other treatise has obtained. Dr. Dwight's fame is more widely extended than that of any other American divine, with, perhaps, the exception of Edwards. His discourses are familiar to theologians wherever the English language is spoken. NeaFs History of the Puritans, History of the Puritans, or Protestant Non-conformists ; from the Reformation in 1518 to the Revolution in 1688 ; comprising an Account of their Principles, Sufferings, and the Lives and Characters of their most considerable Divines.

A valuable and interesting work, developing the causes of the primitive settle- ment of the colonies of New England, and containing the most compendious view of the United States in their early provincial dependence which can be found. The history is judicious, impartial, and unimpeachably accurate and authentic. Few men possessed more of the requisite qualifications for producing a work of this character than were enjoyed by Mr. Neal for ascertaining the whole truth upon the momentous subject which he describes.

Virginia Illustrated: Containing a Visit to the Virginian Canaan, and the Adventures of Porte Crayon and his Cousins. Illustrated from Drawings by PORTE CRAYON. 8vo, Muslin, $2 50; Half Calf, $3 50. These graphic and amusing sketches of the adventures of Porte Crayon and his fair cousins in the Old Dominion are already partly known to the readers of " Harper's Magazine." Their great literary and artistic ability render them well worthy of the permanent and beautiful form in which they are now issued, and the volume can not fail to be a household favorite with all level's of the humorous and beautiful. The life-like illustrations have introduced to the American people a pencil quite equal to either Leeche's or Doyle's, and with a touch of the humor of both. They have been pronounced to be by far the best of the kind ever done in the United States. Mills's Literature, The Literature and Literary Men of Great Britain and Ireland.

Such a compendium must be a treasure to all who desire to have the gems of British literature made accessible without labor, and without the expense of a large library.

The result of this plan is not merely a great amount of new biographical detail, but a new sense, efficacy, and feeling in the writings of the poet himself. 42 HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.

VOL. I. Aids to Reflection Statesman's Manual. II. The Friend. III. Biographia Literaria. IV. Lectures on Shakspeare and other Dramatists. V. Literary Remains. VI. Second Lay Sermon and Table-Talk. VII. Poetical and Dramatic Works. These seven handsome duodecimo volumes, edited by Professor SHEDD, com- prise the only complete edition of Coleridge's works, in prose and verse, and are an important and valuable memorial to the rare gifts of one of the most profound thinkers of the present century. Professor Shedd's essay is considered one of the most intelligent, profound, and discriminating discussions of a philosophical theme to be found in American literature. It is singularly lucid in thought, con- secutive in argument, and chaste and appropriate in expression and is well worthy of the place which it occupies at the side of President Marsh's Preliminary Essay, which every competent judge regards as one of the noblest modern speci- mens of philosophical composition.

SOUTHEY, M.A. Portrait. 8vo, Muslin, $1 75; Half Calf, $2 75. A work presenting a charming picture of the domestic habits, literary enter- prises, and characteristic moral features of its eminent subject. Mr. Southey's connection with the progress of English literature during the early part of the present century, his strong political predilections, the extent and variety of his productions, and his singular devotion to a purely intellectual life, make his bi- ography one of the most entertaining and instructive records that have been pub- lished in this department of letters. The correspondence forms almost a con- tinuous narrative. Southey's Common-place Book, Edited by his Son-in-Law, JOHN WOOD WARTER, B.D. 2 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $2 50; Half Calf, $4 50. Full of rare and rich quotations. There is hardly a subject on which some striking observations, some memorable facts are not recorded. Southey's Nelson, Life of Lord Nelson. By ROBERT SOUTHEY. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents. Southey's Life of Nelson will live as long as the English language. Prase? s Magazine. Southey's Wesley.

COLERIDGE, and Remarks on the Lile and Character of JOHN WESLEY, by the late ALEXANDER KNOX. Edited by the Rev. CHARLES C. SOUTHEY, M.A. Second American Edition, with Notes, &c., by the Rev. DANIEL CURRY, A.M. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $1 50; Half Calf, $3 20. O, dear and honored Southey (referring to the Life of Wesley), the favorite of my library among many favorites! the book I can read for the twentieth time with delight when I can read nothing else at all ! this darling book ! I never met a human being who, in his mien and aspect, as well as in the whole habit of life, manifested such a stamp and signature of virtue as to make one's judg- ment of them a matter of intuition rather than the result of continued examin- ation. COLERIDGE. Southey's Doctor, By ROBERT SOUTHEY. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents ; Half Calf, $1 60. "What wisdom and poetry lie scattered about the pages! On one we see the amplitude of his learning ; on another, the author's peculiar strain of sentiment ; his pure Saxon English in a third. The common-place book of a reader of such out-of-the-way lore as Southey loved could not fail to be replete with amusement, and possibly substantial information. It is a work which, whatever may be its faults, " the world will not willingly let die ;" which will take a permanent place upon the book-shelf, and be read and enjoyed when his ponderous epics shall have passed into oblivion. The Critic. Sydney HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OP PUBLICATIONS. 45 Smith's Life and Letters. A Memoir of the Reverend Sydney Smith. By his Daughter, LADY HOLLAND. With a Selection from his Letters, Edited by Mrs. AUSTIN. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 00 ; Half Calf, $3 70. The Reverend Sydney Smith, the wit, the satirist, the determined antagonist of Dissenters and Tories, is here presented in the familiar intercourse of domes- tic life. This work abounds with choice sayings, and, though without a tincture of Boswell, has many of the attractions of that worthy's Life of Dr. Johnson. The letters range over a period of 44 years, and amount to upward of 560. Writ- ten in a way of rapid allusion to what was passing in fashionable, literary, and political society, they throw much light on the great questions of the time, in which the writer bore so conspicuous a part, and complete by confirming the character of the man given in the Memoir. Sydney Smith's Moral Philosophy, An Elementary Treatise on Moral Philosophy, delivered at the Royal Institution in the Years 1804, 1805, and 1806. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Half Calf, $1 85. Sydney Smith's remarks are always lively, pointed, and apposite, betraying a familiar knowledge of the world, and a quick perception of the bearing and char- acter of current events ; while their, caustic wit is usually attempered with an inexhaustible fountain of good humor. The work is prefaced by a commenda- tory letter by Lord Jeffrey, written but a few days before his death, wherein he says that these lectures "will do their author as much credit as any thing he ever wrote." Moore's Life of Byron, Letters and Journals of Lord Byron. With Notices of his Life. By THOMAS MOORE. 2 vols. 8vo, Sheep, $3 00 ; Half Calf, 5 00. Considered merely as a composition, it deserves to be classed among the best specimens of English prose which our age has produced. Of the deep and pain- ful interest which this book excites no abstract can give a just notion. So sad and dark a story is scarcely to be found in any work of fiction ; and we are little disposed to envy the moralist who can read it without being softened. MAC- AULAY. Gait's Life of Byron, Life of Lord Byron. By JOHN GALT. 18mo, Muslin, 40 cents. Mr. Gait enjoyed the advantages consequent upon a long and intimate ac- quaintance with the noble poet, and has given a striking and satisfactory de- scription of his character. One of the greatest merits of the work is its strict im- partiality; the writer is evidently free from prejudice, either favorable or adverse to his subject, and tells what he knows, or believes, to be the truth without bias. Sophocles, Literally Translated, The Tragedies of Sophocles ; in English Prose. The Oxford Translation. New Edition, revised according to the Text of Dindorf. Portrait. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents ; Half Calf, $1 60. Sophocles, Translated by Francklin, The Tragedies of Sophocles. Translated by T. FRANCKLIN, D.D. ISmo, Muslin, 45 cents. 46 HARPER & BROTHERS 1 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. Haydon's Autobiography, Life of Benjamin Eobert Haydon, Historical Painter, from his Autobiography and Journals. Edited and Compiled by TOM TAYLOR, of the Inner Temple, Esq. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, f 1 75 ; Half Calf, $3 45. This is a work of uncommon interest, describing the artistic career, the per- sonal experience, and the perpetual struggles and difficulties of the celebrated English painter, drawn from his own autobiographical narrative in part, and from his own copious journals, with brief editorial comments to preserve the continuity of the story. Haydon was a decided original. His journals give a vivid portraiture of the man, and are marked by deep pathos. They are full of anecdotes of celebrated men, and contain many valuable criticisms upon art. Haydon was in relations with the Duke of Wellington, Lord Brougham, Sir Rob- ert Peel, and other British statesmen, of whom he gives a variety of interesting reminiscences. His anecdotes of Wordsworth, Leigh Hunt, Keats, Shelley, Sir Walter Scott, as well as of several contemporary painters, are attractive features of the book. Autobiography of Leigh Hunt, with Reminiscences of Friends and Contemporaries. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $1 20; Half Calf, $3 20. This work abounds with frequent anecdotes of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron, Keats, Lamb, Hazlitt, and Moore ; gives a detailed exposition of Hunt's connection with the Examiner, and his imprisonment for libel; his residence in Italy; his return to England, and his various literary projects; and describes, with the most child-like frankness, the present state of his opinions and feelings on the manifold questions which have given a direction to his intellectual activ- ity through life. Whatever impressions it may leave as to the character of the author, there can be but one opinion as to the fascination of his easy, sprightly, gossipping style, and the interest which attaches to the literary circles, whose folding-doors he not ungracefully throws open. Men, Women, and Books, A Selection of Sketches, Essays, and Critical Memoirs from his tmcollected Prose Writings. By LEIGH HUNT. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, f 1 50 ; Half Calf, $3 20. The subjects embrace almost every topic of a pleasurable and refining kind one can think of in the whole round of literature and experience poetry, love, char- acter, human pursuits, criticism, biography, and fantastic speculations of all conceivable sorts. Miss Mitford's Literary Recollections, Recollections of a Literary Life ; or, Books, Places, and People. By MARY KCJSSELL MITFORD. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00 ; Half Calf, $1 85. A work of peculiar interest to American readers. In addition to a rich store of delightful personal reminiscences, genial and graceful criticisms on old English authors, as well as on contemporary celebrities, and copious selections from their choicest productions, Miss Mitford presents several agreeable sketches of Ameri- can authors and other distinguished men, including Daniel Webster, Halleck, Hawthorne, Whittier, Wendell Holmes, &c. She shows a sincere love for this country, and a cordial appreciation of its institutions and its literature. HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 47 Lady Blessington's Memoirs, The Literary Life and Correspondence of the Countess of Bless- ington. Compiled and Edited by R. MADDEN, Esq. With Por- trait. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 00 ; Half Calf, $3 70. During the last fifty years there have been few books of such peculiar interest to the literary and political world. It has contributions from every person of literary reputation Byron, Sir E. Bulwer (who contributes an original poem), James, D' Israeli, Marryat, Savage Landor, Campbell, L. E. L., the Smiths, Shel- ley, Jenkyn, Sir W. Gell, Jekyll, &c., &c. ; as well as letters from the most em- inent statesmen and foreigners of distinction the Duke of Wellington, Marquis "VVellesley, Marquis Douro, Lords Lyndhurst, Brougham, Durham, Abinger, &c., &c. Life and Letters of Thomas Campbell, Edited by W. BEATTIE, M.D. With an Introductory Letter, by WASHINGTON IRVING. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 00 ; Half Calf, $3 70. A charming piece of biography. In any hands, the subject could not be with- out intense interest, and as it has here been treated, possesses a fascination rare- ly found in any recent production. Free use is made of the letters of Campbell, many of which are of the highest order of epistolary composition, abounding in those delicate and expressive touches which reveal the heart of the man and the genius of the poet in the purest and most beautiful light. The present edition is introduced by a letter of Washington Irving to the publishers, in which our admirable countryman relates some personal reminiscences of Campbell with ex- quisite grace and felicity. Memoirs of Abernethy, Memoirs of John Abernethy, F.R.S. With a View of his Writ- ings, and Character. By GEORGE MACILWAIN, F.R.S. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Half Calf, $1 85. Abernethy, while living, became known most widely by the circulation of characteristic anecdotes of his intercourse with patients. But they revealed only one side of his extraordinary character, and the amusing play of his wit and tact; we have here, in a popular form, better means of appreciating his great ability and distinguished character as a man of science, a teacher, and a practi- tioner. The author writes as a pupil and a friend, with a vigorous and free pen. It is a very instructive as well as lively and amusing book. Sir Hudson Lowe's Letters and Journals, History of the Captivity of Napoleon at St. Helena ; from the Letters and Journals of the late Lieut. Gen. Sir HUDSON LOWE, and Official Documents not before made Public. With Portrait and Map. By WILLIAM FORSYTII, M.A. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $1 75 ; Half Calf, $3 45. A complete narrative of the Emperor Napoleon's life at St. Helena, founded on the letters and other posthumous documents of the late Sir Hudson Lowe. It defends the conduct of Sir Hudson in the treatment of his illustrious captive. The work is important as a contribution to the history of one of the most re- markable political measures of modern times. No one who pretends to the ex- ercise of impartiality in his judgment of Napoleon will fail to examine the inter- esting evidence presented in these volumes. 48 HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. Cm-ran and his Contemporaries. By CHARLES PHILLIPS. 12mo, Muslin, 88 cents ; Half Calf, $1 72. Curran, the celebrated Irish orator, was a man of rare genius and endowments ; he formed the centre around which were gathered a number of noticeable men. No one who wishes to gain an insight into the character of the leading men of Ireland during the last generation should fail to read this brilliant book, which Lord Brougham has characterized as u one of the most extraordinary pieces of biography ever produced." Guizot's Corneille, Corneille and his Times. By M. GUIZOT. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00 ; Half Calf, $1 85. Distinguished by the weight of thought, temperance of expression, and various learning characteristic of the historical productions of M. Guizot, this volume will be found an indispensable aid in the study of French literature. The merits of the great dramatist and his leading contemporaries are discussed with rare critical discrimination and winning felicity of language. Guizot's Shakspeare, Shakspeare and his Times. By M. GUIZOT. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00 ; Half Calf, $1 85. The views presented by Guizot in this work are the fruit of profound study and reflection. Acute, logical, and unim passioned, he subjects the immortal produc- tions of Shakspeare to a rigid analysis. As the deliberate judgment of one of the most discreet and intelligent writers in French literature, on numerous important questions of dramatic art, this volume must be regarded as a most acceptable contribution to Shaksperian criticism. Croly's George IV, Life of George IV., with Anecdotes of Distinguished Persons. By Rev. GEORGE CROLY. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents. This work contains many light and pleasing sketches of the characters of those men whose great qualities of mind and heart made those days illustrious in En- gland's annals. The names of Pitt, Fox, Burke, Sheridan, Canning, Grattan^ and Curran appear in the historic narrative in their various degrees of celebrity, and are characterized always with force and freedom of style. Louis the Fourteenth And the Court of France in the Seventeenth Century. By Miss PARDOE. Illustrated with numerous Engravings, Portraits, &c. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $3 50 ; Half Calf, $5 20. The reign of Louis XIV. may be said to include all that was Interesting in'the seventeenth century. Frederic the Great, in sober earnestness, declared that the "petticoat history of the seventeenth century remained to be written." We re- joice that the task has been undertaken by a lady, since to a feminine mind alone could the mysterious motive and agencies engaged be at all intelligible. London Athenaeum. Episodes of French History During the Consulate and the First Empire. By Miss PARDOE. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00.

Hume's History of England, History of England, from the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Ab- dication of James II., 1688. By DAVID HUME. A New Edi- tion, with the Author's last Corrections and Improvements. To which is prefixed a short Account of his Life, written by Himself. With a Portrait of the Author. 6 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $3 75 ; Sheep, $4 50 ; Half Calf, $9 60. When a young man of eighteen asks for a History of England there is no re- source but to give him Hume. David Hume is the master of the field. There is not a page of his that we could not correct and amplify, nevertheless we can not do without him ; we have not the resolution, nor, we may add, the genius to supply a substitute. On the whole we expect to see no rival to Hume in our times. Times. Gibbon's Rome, History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. By ED- WARD GIBBON. With Notes, by Rev. H. H. MILMAN and M. GUIZOT. With Maps and Engravings. A new cheap Edition, with Notes, by Rev. H. H. MILMAN. To which is added a com- plete Index of the whole work, and a Portrait of the Author. 6 vols. 12mo (uniform with Hume) Muslin, $3 75 ; Sheep extra, $4 50 ; Half Calf, $9 60. Gibbon's great work is acknowledged to be a master-piece of historical com- position. It was the work of the author's life. To its preparation he brought unwearied industry and unbounded learning. It is replete with wit, philosophy, and eloquence. In it, for the first time, has been bridged over the abyss between ancient and modern times. Notwithstanding the exceptions which have been taken to various portions of the work, all competent critics acknowledge that, for general accuracy and impartiality, it has no rival in historical literature. Carleton's Bnena Vista, The Battle of Buena Vista, with the Operations of the " Army of Occupation" for one Month. By Captain CARLETON, 12mo, Muslin, 70 cents. HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 51 Grote's History of Greece, 12 vols. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents per Volume ; Half Calf, $19 20 per Set. The author has now incontestahly won for himself the title of the historian of Greece. Quarterly Review. Mr. Grote is unrivaled in the erudition and genius with which he has revived the picture of a distant past, and brought home every part and feature of its his- tory our intellects and our hearts. Times. The acute intelligence, the discipline, faculty of intellect, and the excellent eru- dition every one would look for from Mr. Grote; but they will find here also the element which harmonizes these, and without which, on such a theme, an order- ly and solid work could not have been written. Poetry and Philosophy attend the historian on either hand, and do not impede or misguide his steps. Exam- iner. Hallam's Constitutional History of England, From the Accession of Henry VII. to the Death of George II. 8vo, Sheep extra, $1 75 ; Half Calf, $2 50. Mr. Hallam is far better qualified than any other writer of our times for the task he has accomplished. He has great industry and great acuteness; his knowledge is extensive, various, and profound ; his mind is equally distinguished by the amplitude of its grasp and by the delicacy of its touch. On a general survey, we do not scruple to pronounce the "Constitutional History" the most important book that we ever read. MACATJLAY. This is a production of the greatest value, and distinguished, like his other works, for research, judgment, tajste, and elegance. Chancellor KENT. Hallam's Literature, Introduction to the Literature of Europe, during the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Centuries. By HENRY HALLAM. 2 vols. 8vo, Sheep extra, $3 50 ; Half Calf, $5 00. This edition will naturally find its way into all libraries. No work on foreign history or politics can be more instructive or useful to American statesmen. The Edinburgh Review pronounces it "the most important contribution to literary history received for many years ;" and a writer in the London Quarterly Review says, " To all lovers of literature it will be acceptable ; to the young, we conceive, invaluable. We almost wish that we could renew our own youth, in order to profit by its instructions; it would have prevented us from reading a vast num- ber of very bad books, and induced us, perhaps, to read some good ones. 11 Hallam's Middle Ages, State of Europe daring the Middle Ages. By HENRY HALLAM. 8vo, Sheep extra, $1*75 ; Half Calf, $2 50. The object of this work is to trace the progress of Europe from the middle of the fifth to the end of the fifteenth century ; from the establishment of Clovis in Gaul to the invasion of Italy by Charles the Eighth. The plan of this work is more extensive than that of Robertson's, its views more comprehensive, and its information more copious and critical. It is written throughout with a spirit of freedom and liberality that does credit to the author. Hallam's Historical Works : Comprising the above. 4 vols. 8vo, uniformly bound in Sheep extra, f 7 00 ; Half Calf, $ 10 00. 52 HAEPEE & BEOTHERS' LIST OP PUBLICATIONS.

The most interesting and fascinating work of this historian, which joins the wonders of romance and the most exquisite graces of style to the philosophy of history. Robertson's Charles V, History of the Emperor Charles V. ; with a View of the Progress of Society in Europe, to the beginning of the Sixteenth Century. With Questions for the Examination of Students, by JOHN FROST, A.M. Engravings. 8vo, Sheep extra, $1 50; Half Calf, $2 25. Abridged. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents. His writings are equally remarkable for their elegance and perspicuity. In his History of Charles V., the knowledge displayed by the historian, and the en- larged and liberal epirit of his philosophical inquiries are not the least worthy of commendation. CHAMBERS. Robertson's Scotland and Ancient India, History of Scotland and Ancient India. A History of Scotland during the Reigns of Queen Mary and James VI. till his Acces- sion to the Crown of England.

With a Continuance of the History, by WM. JONES. Engravings. 3 vols. 8vo, Sheep, $4 50 ; Half Calf, $6 75. The history of modern Europe, by Dr. Russell, has always been prized for its comprehensiveness. It includes the most important period in the annals of man- kind, as the author's narrative introduces the era when the renovation of society commenced, after the protracted continuance of that mental gloom which, during several centuries, covered the civilized world. Says Chambers of this work, "It is a production at once so succinct, yet so perspicuous, comprehensive, and entertaining, that all rivalry appears to be precluded." Beaumarchais and his Times. Sketches of French Society in the Eighteenth Century, from un- published Documents. By Louis DE LOMENIE. Translated by HENRY S. EDWARDS. 12mo, Muslin, $1 25; Half Calf, $2 10. The "Life of Beaumarchais" constitutes a valuable addition to the social his- tory of France in the eighteenth century. Upon the shelves which contain the voluminous memoirs of French society, none are more curious, authentic, and amusing than those which we now recommend to the attention of our readers.

Complete in 8 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00 per Vol- ume; Sets in Half Calf, $14 80. The author of this great historical work combines a feminine susceptibility to moral worth with a masculine power of research and systematic narrative. She has spared no pains in the investigation of facts, ransacked rare archives and dusty depositories for all accessible documents, and has presented the fruit of her labors in a style of equal force and gracefulness. Her sympathies always incline her to take sides with the beautiful, the oppressed, and the suffering, but she never permits the indulgence of her benevolent feelings at the expense of histor- ical truth. Helps's Spanish Conquest, The Spanish Conquest in America, and its Relation to the His- tory of Slavery, and to the Government of Colonies. By ARTHUR HELPS. 3 vols. Large 12mo, Muslin, $3 00 ; Half Calf, $5 50. An elaborate and complete history of the Conquest of Spanish America, from the time of Columbus to that of Hernando Cortez. Though portions of the work have been ably treated in Irving' s Columbus and Prescott's Peru and Mexico, yet, as a connected whole, the ground is almost unbroken. The work is written with special reference to the elucidation of the establishment of slavery in this coun- try, and on that subject contains many interesting developments though it is not sectarian or partizan in its tone. The subject is one of the most important in modern history the author is favorably known as a sound thinker and a scholar of rare accomplishments and his work, learned, scholar-like, and yet pop- ular, has been pronounced, by leading critical authority in England, to be one of the most important and valuable contributions to historical literature recently published in that country. Thirlwall's Greece, History of Greece. By Rev. CONNOP THIRL WALL, D.D. 2 vols. 8vo, Muslin, f 2 75 ; Sheep extra, $3 00 ; Half Calf, $4 75. If my early friend Dr. Thirlwall's " History of Greece" had appeared a few years earlier, I should probably never have conceived the design of the present work at all. Having studied, of course, the same evidences as Dr. Thirlwall, I am better enabled than others to bear testimony to the learning, the sagacity, and the candor which pervades his excellent work. Preface to Grote's "History of Greece."

Rollin's Ancient History is indispensable to any one who wishes to acquire a connected view of the ancient monarchies. The sound moral tone of the work, and its constant regard to the great interests of religion, have gained high and deserved respect for it. 54 HAEPEE & BROTHEES 1 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.

Alison combines the minutest attention to detail, the utmost carefulness in au- thenticating facts, with the greatest facility in deducing principles and laying them before the reader. His is by far the most remarkable historical work of the century. It exhibits remarkable diligence, and does impartial justice on higher principles than have yet been announced in history. Alison's History of Europe. Second Series. From the Fall of Napoleon, in 1815, to the Accession of Louis Napoleon, in 1852. A New Series. 4 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $5 00 ; Sheep extra, $5 50 ; Half Calf, $9 00. The merits of Sir Archibald Alison as a historian need not be commented on in order to call attention to this important work. He brings industry, high culture, indefatigable perseverance, an active and elegant mind, and rare powers of de- scription, to the accomplishment of a task in which he evidently takes a cordial delight. Viewing his work as an elaborate digest of the events of the age, ac- companied with frequent vivid and expressive portraitures of conspicuous scenes, it must be regarded as a welcome contribution to our resources on European his- tory, and an indispensable aid to the studies of every intelligent reader.

The object of the work is to furnish a regular plan for the important study of history, and to unite with the detail of facts so much of reflection as to aid the mind in the formation of rational views of the causes and consequences of events, as well as the policy of the actors. The author has also endeavored to give due share of attention to the state of the arts and sciences, the religion, laws, gov- ernment, and manners of nations, which he has treated in distinct sections and at particular periods.

By LEOPOLD RANKE, Author of "A History of the Popes in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries." Translated by M. A. GARVEY. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00 ; Half Calf, $1 85. This volume is devoted to the civil wars of France during the 16th and 17th centuries, and throws much light on the events of that important period. Pro- fessor Ranke is always discreet and cautious ; his principles of historical research are sound ; and he never fails to present the subject to which he devotes his at- tention in a new aspect. Wilkinson's Ancient Egyptians, A Popular Account of their Manners and Customs, condensed from his larger Work, with some new Matter. Illustrated with 500 Wood-cuts. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 00 ; Half Calf, $3 70. In this important work, a complete view of Egyptian antiquities is presented, showing the character of the domestic life, political institutions, religious observ- ances, and industrial arts of that remarkable people. It is the product of long and laborious research ; it bears the stamp of thoroughness on every page ; it is copious without being confused ; the descriptive portions are crowded with in- formation, while they are couched in a flowing and attractive style, clothing the hoary and wasted Past in a life-like costume. The volume is illustrated by a multitude of engravings, which make the explanations of the writer perfectly clear to the eye. It will be welcomed by the student of profane history, and no less by the searcher of the Scriptures, as an efficient and most interesting aid in their pursuits. 56 HAEPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. Layard's Nineveh, A Popular Account of the Discoveries at Nineveh. By AUSTEN HENRY LAYARD. Abridged by him from his larger Work. With numerous Wood Engravings. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents; Half Calf, $1 60. The London Examiner pronounces this a u charming volume, to which we may safely promise a circulation without limit, and as unbounded popularity. The great feature of the abridgment is, the introduction of the principal Biblical and historical illustrations (forming a separate section of the original work) into the narrative, which, without sacrificing any matter of importance, makes the story more compact, useful, and, indeed, complete in its abridged than it was in its original form." Layard's Fresh Discoveries, Fresh Discoveries in Nineveh and Babylon ; with Travels in Ar- menia, Kurdistan, and the Desert : being the result of a Second Expedition, undertaken for the Trustees of the British Museum. By AUSTEN HENRY LAYARD, M.P. With all of the Maps and Engravings in the English Edition. 8vo, Muslin, $2 25 ; Half Calf, $3 25. This deeply interesting volume describes the result of a second expedition de- voted to exploring the remains of the ruined cities of the East. The discoveries are related with graphic beauty, and are equally striking with those before pub- lished, and throw new light on many obscure passages of Holy Writ, as well as on the social and domestic characteristics of numerous Orieutal regions, concern- ing which we know comparatively little. Sir James Stephen's History of France, Lectures on the History of France. By Sir JAMES STEPHEN, K.C.B. Svo, Muslin, $1 75. These lectures comprise a series of brilliant discursive commentaries on the salient points of French history, from the time of Charlemagne to that of Louis XIV. Of the twenty-four lectures which compose the volume, three are devoted to the " Power of the Pen in France," and discuss in a masterly style the char- acter and influence of Abeilard, Bernard, Montaigne, Descartes, Pascal, and other eminent French writers. Waddington's Church History, History of the Church, from the Earliest Ages to the Reforma- tion. By Rev. GEORGE WADDINGTON, M.A. 8vo, Muslin, $1 75 ; Half Calf, $2 75. The work was expressly written for and published by the Society for the Dif- fusion of Useful Knowledge, a sufficient guarantee for value and soundness of opinion, even had not the amazing sale of above one hundred thousand copies in England given it the surest proof of general approbation. It is recognized gen- erally by theologians as most clear, accurate, and comprehensive ; and the ar- rangement is esteemed particularly judicious. Feuerbach's German Criminal Trials.

Truly excellent ; his erudition it would be superfluous to commend, and to his fidelity I can bear full testimony. SOUTHEY. The author's ingenious illustrations of the sacred writings, his successful la- bors in defense of Christianity, and the light he has cast upon the history of re- ligion and philosophy by his researches, appear in these volumes, which are de- servedly placed among the most valuable treasures of sacred and profane litera- ture; and this learned and judicious work has rendered his name illustrious in the records of religion and letters. Gieseler's Ecclesiastical History, A Text-book of Church History. By Dr. JOHN C. L. GIESELER. Translated from the Fourth Revised German Edition. By SAM- UEL DAVIDSON, LL.D., and Rev. JOHN WINSTANLEY HULL, M. A. A New American Edition, Revised and Edited by HENRY B. SMITH, Professor in the Union Theological Seminary, New York. Vols. I., II., and HI, 8vo, Muslin, $6 00; Sheep extra, $6 75; Half Calf, f 9 00. In the new edition of this incomparable Church History a thorough revision of the translation has been made, with additional references to the English and later German works. The alterations are numerous, giving more exactly the sense of the original, and correcting frequent mistranslations. The work, when finished, will form a complete and authentic history of the Christian Church to A.D. 1848, composed with abundant and careful learning, especially adapted to the wants of students, and indispensable as a guide to any who would examine the original sources. The civil history of the Middle Ages can not be understood without some ac- quaintance with ecclesiastical history, so that this work has an interest for all classes of historical inquirers. The text is brief and compact, the notes crowded with exact information. This conciseness makes the book of the utmost value for consultation and reference, or as a guide to the teacher and the student. Ex- tract from a Letter to the Publishers from GEORGE BANCROFT.

Correct- ed, vindicated, enlarged, in Notes and Appendices. By Sir WILL- IAM HAMILTON, Bart. With an Introductory Essay, by Rev. ROBERT TURNBULL, D.D. 8vo, Muslin, $ 1 50 ; Half Calf, $2 50. The preliminary essay by Dr. Turnbull appears to me to add greatly to the value of the book ; and I feel much gratified by so able an introduction, and in general by the style in which the work is published. Extract from a Letter to the Publishers from Sir WILLIAM HAMILTON. In the present state of metaphysical inquiry, the writings of Sir William Ham- ilton are indispensable for reference, if not for authority. The portion of the volume relating to education possesses the greatest interest for the general read- er, while the student of the history of philosophy will find in the papers devoted to that subject an overflowing treasury of learning, ample quotations from writ- ers eminent in their day, but now little read, and a store of critical suggestions. The present edition is prefaced by an appropriate Essay by Robert Turnbull, D.D., presenting a luminous view of the progress of philosophical speculation from the dawn of philosophy among the nations of the East to its latest develop- ments in Continental Europe. Jay's Works, Complete Works of Rev. William Jay : comprising his Sermons, Family Discourses, Morning and Evening Exercises for every Day in the Year, Family Prayers, &c. Author's enlarged Edition, re- vised. 3 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $4 00 ; Sheep extra, $4 50 ; Half Calf, $7 00. The devotional writings of the late William Jay have found intimate access to the hearts of the Christian world. His excellent influence will not soon pass away. Unequaled for his pious simplicity, his winning unction, his unaffected devotion, his apt use of Scriptural phraseology, and his genuine religious wis- dom, he has left an enviable reputation, of which these volumes form an appro- priate and interesting memorial. They will long hold a cherished place in the library of practical religious works, and prove equally acceptable to evangelical Christians of every name.

By DAVID LIVINGSTONE, LL.D., D.C.L. With Portrait, Maps by Arrowsmith, and numerous Illustrations. 8vo, Muslin, $3 00; Half Calf, $4 00. The African Columbus has broken the egg, and let the world into his secret. What he has achieved, and endured, and conquered; the witchcraft which, for sixteen years, he has used against a vertical sun and a malign climate how he has run the gauntlet of carnivores, and pachyderms, and ophidia how he has lived on roots, and locusts, and frogs, and moistened his mouth only with rain or river water how he has striven with thirst and fever, with the loss of letters, and the absence of intelligent companionship how he has sounded unknown lakes, broken through thorny jungles, navigated unknown rivers, opened to light a world teeming with floral, animal, and mineral wonders obtaining ingress for science, for commerce, for religion and leading after him, as the special spoils of his expedition, a throng of colored indigeni, drawn along by no other fetters save of love and admiration. So runs the story of his book a book not so much of travel and adventure as, in its purport and spacious relation, a veritable poem. Athenceum. NOTICE. Messrs. HAEPEB & BROTHERS take this opportunity of cautioning the Public against several spurious publications, which, by artful advertisements, are made to appear as though emanating from Dr. Livingstone. They are authorized to say that Dr. Livingstone repudiates them entirely, and wishes it to be generally known that the present work is the only authentic narrative of his Adventures and Travels in Africa. Dr. Earth's North and Central Africa, Travels and Discoveries in North and Central Africa. Being a Journal of an Expedition undertaken under the Auspices of H.B.M's Government, in the Years 1849-1855. By HENRY BARTH, Ph.D., D,C.L. Profusely and elegantly Illustrated. Com- plete in 3 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $7 50 ; Sheep, $8 25 ; Half Calf, $10 50. Dr. Earth's wonderful travels approach the Equator from the North as nearly as Dr. Livingstone's from the South, and thus show to future travelers the field which still remains open for exploration and research. The researches of Dr. Earth are of the highest interest. Few men have exist- ed so qualified, both by intellectual ability and a vigorous bodily constitution, for the perilous part of an African discoverer as Dr. Barth. London Times. Every chapter presents matter of more original interest than an ordinary vol- ume of travels. This is high praise, but it is due to the intelligence and zeal of Dr. Barth, who pursued his adventure with unflinching courage, and neglected no opportunities. His discoveries, in fact, are parallel with those of Dr. Living- stone in the South. We confess that such a relation has for us an intense inter- est; we are sure that no serious reader will be disappointed in the narrative of Dr. Earth, which, sprinkled with anecdotes, varied with glittering descriptions of landscapes and manners, written with vigor and simplicity, and disclosing amid the gloom of Africa the secrets of centuries, is a rich repertory of knowl- edge, and deserves to take its place among the classics of travel. Lond. Deader. 60 HARPER & BROTHERS 1 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. Andersson's Lake Ngami, Lake Ngami ; or, Explorations and Discoveries during Four Years' Wanderings in the Wilds of Southwestern Africa. By CHARLES JOHN ANDERS SON. With Numerous Illustrations, rep- resenting Sporting Adventures, Subjects of Natural History, De- vices for Destroying Wild Animals, &c. New Edition. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. This narrative of African Explorations and discoveries is a very important ge- ographical work. It contains the account of two journeys made between the years 1850 and 1854, in the first of which the countries of the Damaras and the Ovambo, previously scarcely known in Europe, were explored ; and in the second the newly-discovered Lake Ngami was reached by a route that was deemed im- practicable, but which proves to be the shortest and the best. The work con- tains much scientific and accurate information as to the geology, the scenery, products, and resources of the region explored, with notices of the religion, man- ners, and customs of the native tribes. The continual sporting adventures, and other remarkable occurrences, intermingled with the narrative of travel, make the book as interesting to read as a romance, as, indeed, a good book of travels ought always to be. The illustrations by Wolf are admirably designed, and most of them represent scenes as striking as any witnessed by Jules Gerard or Gordon Gumming. Cumming's Hunter's Life in Africa, Five Years of a Hunter's Life in the Interior of South Africa. With Notices of the Native Tribes, and Anecdotes of the Chase of the Lion, Elephant, Hippopotamus, Giraffe, Rhinoceros, &c. With Illustrations. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $1 75, The writer of this work appears to be a fierce, blood-thirsty Nimrod, whose highest ideal is found in the destruction of wild beasts, and who relates his ad- ventures with the same eagerness of passion which led him to expatriate him- self from the charms of English society in the tangled depths of the African for- est. Every page is redolent of gunpowder, and you almost hear the growl of the victim as he falls beneath the unerring shot of the mighty hunter. Wilson's Africa, Western Africa : its History, Condition, and Prospects. By Rev. J. LEIGHTON WILSON, Eighteen Years a Missionary in Africa, and now one of the Secretaries of the Presbyterian Board of For- eign Missions. With numerous Engravings. 12mo, Muslin, dh-| QK $1 Z5. Mr. Wilson is probably better acquainted than any other man with Western Africa and its inhabitants. During a residence of almost twenty years, he re- peatedly visited all portions of the coast, mastered the principal languages of the natives, composed grammars and dictionaries, and published books in them. He has either written or furnished the materials from which have been elaborated some of the most valuable contributions that have been recently made to the sci- ences of ethnology and philology. He is a careful and shrewd observer, and pre- j sents the results of his observations in an excellent style. His book is a valuable addition to our knowledge of a country which is rapidly rising in importance. History of the National Constituent Assembly, from May, 1848. By J. F.

By THOMAS WITLAM ATKINSON. With a Map and numerous Illustrations. (Uniform with "Livingstone's Travels.") 8vo, Muslin, $3 00; Half Calf, $4 00. A book of travels which, in value and sterling interest, must take rank as a landmark in geographical literature. Mr. Atkinson has traveled where it is be- lieved no European has been before. He has seen nature in the wildest, sublim- est, and also the most beautiful aspects the old world can present. These he has depicted by pen and pencil ; he has done both well. Many a fireside will re- joice in the determination which converted an artist into an author. Mr. At- kinson is a thorough Englishman, brave and accomplished, a lover of adventure and sport of every kind. He knows enough of mineralogy, geology, and botany to impart a scientific interest to his descriptions and drawings ; possessing a keen sense of humor, he tells many a racy story. The sportsman and the lover of adventure, whether by flood or field, will find ample stores in the stirring tales of his interesting travels. Daily News. Humboldt's Cosmos, A Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe. By ALEX- ANDER VON HUMBOLDT. Translated from the German, by E. C. OTTE. 5 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $4 25 ; Half Calf, $8 50. Here is a work which unites the grandeur and extent of early speculations with the fullness and precision of modern science. Akin to the Timceus of Plato in its artistic repose, in solemn earnestness and calm magnificence of diction, its most astonishing speculations are based upon severe and rigorous investigation. We are equally surprised at the fullness and minuteness of his knowledge, and the masterly clearness with which his facts are arranged. Indeed, Cosmos is a work of art almost as much as of philosophy ; and we know not where to point out its fellow as a composition. Written in the evening of a long life, it has the mellowed light of the setting sun. London Spectator. Humboldt's Travels and Researches, Being a Condensed Narrative of his Journeys in the Equinoctial Regions of America, and in Asiatic Russia ; together with Anal- yses of his more important investigations, by W.

This is a most valuable contribution to biographical literature. William Humboldt was connected with the most eminent men of his age in politics and literature, and his life is a lucid commentary on the intellectual development of Germany. Alexander Humboldt, in spite of his great age (nearly 90 years), is still actively engaged in the loftiest intellectual pursuits completing his great work, Cosmos. 62 HARPER & BROTHERS 1 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.

An investigation of the religious principles at work in the Christian world ; tracing, as far as modern politics extend, the action of priesthood, associations, and secular decrees enforcing spiritual dogmas.

In his correspondence, his private feelings, his studies, his literary projects, his plans'of life, are all described without reserve. The work is rich in sketches of contemporary literary men and politicians, presenting, in fact, a lucid commen- tary on the development of German culture during the last half century.

A true work of art, which speaks for itself. * * Since our German literature at- tained maturity, no novel has achieved a reputation so immediate, or one so likely to increase and endure, as Soil und Haben, by Gustav Freytag. * * The ad- mirable delineation of character, the richness of invention, the artistic arrange- ment, the lively descriptions of nature, will be ever more fully acknowledged by the sympathizing reader as he advances in the perusal of the attractive work.

History of the Girondists ; or, Personal Memoirs of the Patriots of the French Revolution. By A. DE LAMARTINE. From un- published Sources. 3 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 10 ; Half Calf, $4 65. The Girondists were the moderate party during the latter part of the French Revolution who vainly endeavored to check the excesses of the Jacobins, and fell victims in the unsuccessful effort. Many of them were men of the most brilliant talents and of lofty virtue. The story of their struggles and of their destruction forms one of the most exciting episodes of modern history. Lamartine has done full justice to his stirring theme. His style is brilliant and captivating, combin- ing the interest of a romance with the instruction of history. Lamartine's Celebrated Characters, Memoirs of Celebrated Characters. By ALPHONSE DE LAMAR- TINE, Author of the "History of the Girondists." 3 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 63 ; Half Calf, $5 18. The essence of many volumes is here condensed and reproduced in the fascin- ating style of which Lamartine is such a great master. The subjects of the vol- umes are Nelson Heloise Columbus Palissy the Potter Roostam Cicero Jacquard Joan of Arc Cromwell Homer Gutenberg Fenelon Socrates William Tell Madame de Sevigne Milton Antar Bossuet. An air of beauty is thrown around them all. Whatever is romantic in their histories is set forth with consummate artistic skill, and a fresh and beautiful light is made to play on old facts. The Life of Nelson is perhaps the hardest one for a French- man, and above all, for Lamartine, to write justly and yet it is most admirably done. He portrays the mingled strength and weakness of his character with a master hand, and condenses and narrates the leading events of his life in a story of thrilling interest. Lamartine's Past and Present. Past, Present, and Future of the Republic. 12mo, Muslin, 50 cents. Lamartine's Raphael ; Or, Pages from the Book of Life at Twenty.

An extraordinary book ; pronounced by eminent critics the'chef d'ceuvre of the poet, and supposed to be the history of his own early struggles and aspirations. The book is written in admirable style, spirited, poetic, and glowing with the warmth of actual life. Lamartine's Memoirs of My Youth, 8vo, Paper, 25 cents. Not less interesting than his Raphael. It abounds in reflections on life and manners which show him to have deeply studied human nature. Some of the scenes in the descriptions of " Graziella" remind one of the inimitable pathos of Sterne.

It contains descriptions of the manners and customs of different portions of South America ; graphic accounts of society and life in California, shortly after the discovery of gold there; notices of life in the Sandwich and Society Islands; the incidents of a residence in Australia ; and adventures in Java. Madame Pfeiffer's Second Journey, A Lady's Second Journey round the World: from London to the Cape of Good Hope, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Celebes, Ceram, the Moluccas, &c., California, Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and the United States. By IDA PPEIFFER, Authoress of the "Lady's Journey round the World." 12mo, Muslin, $1 25. With scanty funds, few letters of introduction, and no more luggage than a carpet-bag to be carried in her own hand, this elderly and not very robust lady sets out on journeys, the dangers and discomforts of which might well appal the hardiest of the stronger sex. Some of the places to which she penetrated had never before been visited by Europeans, and the account of parts of the interior of Borneo, Java, and Sumatra, is a novel contribution to the records of travel. In the New World she passed over more familiar ground, but not on that ac- count the less interesting will be found the reports of a traveler so observant, in- telligent, and trustworthy.

Twenty Years in the Philippines, By PAUL DE LA GIRONIERE. Revised and Extended by the Au- thor expressly for this Translation. Engravings. 12mo, Muslin, $100. A spicy narrative of a life of strange and romantic adventures in the farthest East. The author is a Frenchman of education and ability, who, thrown upon the shores of the Philippine Islands at an early age, takes up his residence among the natives, becomes a sort of Oriental potentate among the barbarians, devotes himself to the welfare of his unique colonies, and at the close of twenty years sets about recording his marvelous career for the benefit of his contemporaries. In a style of uncommon freshness and naivete^ he relates the thousand-and-one odd in- cidents of his life many of which are droll enough in all conscience though their truth is attested by the incidental statements of European and American na- val officers, who were familiar with the proceedings of the self-inaugurated mon- arch. His narrative is, moreover, replete with an endless variety of curious and valuable information, and throws much light on a state of society which, in this western world, we usually have but the faintest conception. Leather Stocking and Silk; Or, Hunter John Myers and his Times. A Story of the Valley of Virginia. By JOHN ESTEN COOKE. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00. Without a trace of the audacity and extravagance which are so much in vogue with many recent American writers of fiction, this unique story of Virginia life quietly winds its way to the heart of the reader, by its simple touches of nature, its gentle pathos, and the admirable harmony and fidelity of its coloring. The author has a rare perception of the capacities of character for dramatic effect. N. Y. Tribune. Henry St, John, Gentleman, Of "Elower of Hundreds" in the County of Prince George, Vir- ginia.

A New Edition, with Additions and Corrections. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. The design of this work is to illustrate and enforce the duty of courtesy in all its principles and applications. From the opinions of the leading critics of the day, already laid before the public, it may be inferred that the book is unique, original, and, apart from the very important practical theme of which it treats, a curiosity in the literature of the age. The subjects, they tell us, are discussed in a spirit of cheerful, charitable, and liberal ethics. The Rhetoric of Conversation ; Or, Bridles and Spurs for the Management of the Tongue. By GEORGE WIXFRED HERVEY. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. This volume is intended to be of the same use to all who talk, as the ordinary works on rhetoric are to public speakers and writers ; containing all the instruc- tion as to the proprieties and ethics of talking that the aspirant after colloquial excellence can reasonably require. To the great number of critical judgments in regard to this work which have appeared in the United States, we may be al- lowed to add one from the London Literary Gazette, a periodical which, accord- ing to Christopher North, " stands, beyond dispute, at the head of its own class." " In this volume, by an American writer, will be found much sensible and enter- taining counsel and illustrations, historical and biographical. On the art and ethics of talking, it is a comprehensive manual, and no book in the English lan- guage has entered so systematically into the subject, and presented so many striking and appropriate hints for practical use."

The indefatigable compiler has devoted over twenty years of arduous labor to his subjects, collating the expe- rience and authorities of the leading European practitioners and medical writers of the age ; and in this American republication are incorporated those of our own country. The information amassed in these volumes is literally enormous ; the whole of the materials have been most carefully selected, patiently studied, valued, winnowed, digested, elaborated, and arranged into compact and simple forms, easily accessible, and readily available.

Svo, Muslin, $1 50; Sheep extra, $1 75. This text-book is undoubtedly the best, because the most comprehensive, in the English language ; the additional notes of Professor Draper have been deemed exceedingly valuable. The leading idea of the author has been to present the student an account of the general principles and facts of chemistry, and of its application to pharmacy, medicine, and the useful arts. For its laborious re- search, accurate analysis, and profound learning, this work stands unrivaled among the productions of its class. Butler's Analogy, By Emory and Crooks.

No one can peruse the masterly writings of Butler without great intellectual profit.

As a wholesme disci- pline, in these days of rash and superficial thought, its value can scarcely be overrated. 72 HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.

Miss Bremer kept traveling while she was with us; went west to Minnesota; visited the upper waters of the Mississippi ; bivouacked on the prairies ; halted at nearly every town, large or small, on the banks of that river down to New Or- leans ; crossed over to Cuba ; saw Mobile, Savannah, St. Augustine, in fact, al- most every place in the country. And of almost every step of her way she has given some account, while her work offers a kind of portrait gallery of all the people from whom she received services. She gives us clever pictures of almost every man or woman of note in the country. Bremer's Novels, Miss Bremer possesses, beyond any other living writer of her class, the power of realizing to the imagination every individual she introduces. The moral beauty and womanly purity which steadily illuminate her narrative, must re- ceive implicit admiration on all hands. The Neighbors. 8vo, Paper, 25 cents. The Home. Svo, Paper, 25 cents.

Mr. Urquhart, whose writings upon the Russo-Turkish complications have brought him prominently before the public at various times, is not only a relia- ble and genial traveler, but also a Political Economist, a man of science, and an elegant writer. These volumes are a record of a leisurely tour through the southern provinces of Spain and the little-known Barbary. The author describes graphically the manners and customs of the people, and the peculiarities of the countries he saw, and his volumes abound in curious historic and ethnographic lore.

Dr. Olin's style is forcible and his manner earnest, while his language is sug- gestive and full of thought. Strength and clearness of reasoning, aptness of il- lustration, and a straightforward purpose are always to be detected in his ser- mons. The lectures and addresses in the second volume are mostly devoted to topics connected with Christian education. The authors large and comprehen- sive views of this important subject were both developed and modified by the ex- perience of a quarter of a century, during which he was brought in contact with students of great diversity of mental and moral structure. Dr, Olin's Life and Letters, 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 00 ; Half Calf, $3 70. The biography of such a man can not be other than a public benefaction. Its effect must be as salutary as the character of its subject was unworldly and pure. In the present case, the interest of the work is greatly enhanced by the space that is allotted to the correspondence of President Olin., whose letters form almost a connective autobiography.

Simplicity of arrangement, accuracy of calculation, and compactness of form, commend this work to all who have occasion to refer to such tables. It is true of most interest tables that a ready accountant will ascertain the interest on any sum by the old-fashioned method of computation in as little time as the several pages of the table-book can be referred to, and the several amounts added to- gether, and the result thus obtained. Stansbury's tables, however, present on one page the interest on any sum which it may be necessary to find. Pictures of Early Life. By Mrs. E. C. EMBURY. 18mo, Muslin, 37 cents.

This cheap and handsome edition of the works of Mrs. Sherwood is certainly one of the most admirable family series, from the pen of a single writer, in the English language. The subjects are exceedingly various, and adapted to dif- ferent degrees of capacity, from that of opening youth to the matured intellect of riper years; but in all, the sentiments, the spirit, and the influence upon the mind, are such as to command the warmest approbation of every enlightened Christian; while, in their aptitude for the cultivation of the understanding and the improvement of the heart, they challenge competition.

How many have thanked God for the hour that first made them acquainted with the writings of Hannah More. She did perhaps as much real good in her generation as any woman that ever held the pen. It would be idle for us to dwell here on works so well known. They have established her name as a great moral writer, possessing a masterly command over the resources of our language, and devoting a keen wit and a lively fancy to the best and noblest of purposes.

Sir Walter Scott, with his characteristic frankness, has acknowledged that his original idea when he commenced his career as a novelist, was to be to Scotland what Miss Edge- worth was to Ireland to portray the peculiarity of manners belonging rather to the generation passing away than to that which now exists, and to give life to the natural scenery, and permanence to the national characteristics of his country- men. In depicting the strange varieties of Irish character, whether grave or gay, Miss Edgeworth is confessedly without an equal. Her comic and playful satire ranks her high in the dominions of humor, while it is combined with a sterling common sense, and a power of picturesque description which seldom fall to the lot of the wit or the satirist. Her story -telling powers are admirable. The whole of the works, as published in this edition, have undergone a care- ful revision and correction by the author herself.

A series of tales intended to convey moral instruction in an attractive form. Miss Edgeworth's tales are among the best ever written for this purpose. It is impossible to read one of them without feeling that they were intended and are calculated to soften dispositions, correct errors, and remove prejudices; while they are so full of interest, merely as tales, as to gain and hold the attention of the most careless reader.

G, P, R, James's Novels, Mr. JAMES is the only conspicuous representative of the school of fiction so sig- nally illustrated by Sir Walter Scott. His prolific genius has given birth to a whole library of novels, on which the verdict of public opinion has set its seal of approval. In splendor of diction, ease and copiousness of description, and felic- ity of character-drawing, James has few rivals, and, with these merits, his popu- larity with the million will sustain the test of time. The historical character of many of his novels makes them agreeable sources of information. They refresh the memory of past scenes, and give a glowing illustration to the incidents of a by-gone age.

By G. P. R. JAMES. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents. Charlemagne was one of the world's great men, and from his time most of the nations of Europe date their origin.

He has shed light upon the darkness which has long overhung this most interesting and important period of history. Dark Scenes of History, By G. P. R. JAMES. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00. These are the compositions in which the author excels, combining historical information with critical acumen. Eight u Dark Scenes of History" have been selected for his themes. They are all of a sanguinary and stirring kind sad and memorable pictures of by-gone times in various countries. They are treated in a dramatic manner, and with great dramatic effect. The tragical descriptions are full of force. James's Henry IV, Life of Henry IV. King of France and Navarre. By G. P. R. JAMES. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 50. His peculiar power consists in being able to describe with wonderful spirit busy and stirring scenes, to bring out into bold relief pictures of daring and courage, to delineate with a few bold strokes a landscape, and occasionally to portray the deeper and finer-feelings of human nature, which few succeed in handling well. There are scenes of infinite beauty and touching pathos in his works. Old Whitey's Christmas Trot. A Christmas Tale. By A. OAKEY HALL. Beautifully Illus- trated from Original Drawings by THWAITES.

The scene of this story is laid partly In New York, in an old Knickerbocker mansion near St. John's Park, and in sundry lawyer's offices, and partly in a de- lightful old parsonage in the country. The plot is highly effective. Great in- terest is given to the development of the story. For the most part it is in a ten- der, touching vein, though free from any cases of mawkish sentimentality. The style is quite simple, with a certain dash of quaintness, often reminding the reader of Washington Irving, and sometimes of Ike Marvel.

HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 83 Bulwer's Novels, To Bulwer, the author of Pelham, The Caxtons, and My Novel, we assign the highest place among modern writers of fiction. There is always power in the creations of his fancy ; he is always, polished, witty, learned. Since the days of Scott were ended, there is, in our apprehension, no pinnacle so high as that on which we hang our wreath to Bulwer; like the Roman emperor, a prince among his equals, the first among his craft.

The object of this work is, in describing the present to connect it with the past, which, in speaking of what is daily and accidental, would separate it from what ages have sanctioned, and distant ages are likely to see ; a work which, in show- ing the effect which time, and laws, and accident produce upon the character of the people, would also show the manner in which the character of a people trav- erses time, enters into laws, and dominates over accident. By Sir E. BULWER LYTTON. 84 HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS, Mackenzie's Works, Novels and Miscellaneous Works of Henry Mackenzie : compris- ing "The Man of Feeling," "The Man of the World," "Julia de Roubigne," &c. With a Memoir of the Author, by Sir WALTER SCOTT. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00; Half Calf, $1 85. Of Mackenzie's works Professor Wilson, the famous "Christopher North" of Blackwoood's Magazine, thus speaks: "The beautiful visions of his pathetic imagination had stamped a soft and delicious, but deep and indelible impression on my mind long before I had heard the name of criticism. The very names of the heroes and heroines of his delightful stories sounded in my ears like the echoes of some old romantic melody, too simple and too beautiful to have been framed in these degenerate, over-scientific days.* Miller's Boys' Own Book, The Boy's Own Book of the Seasons. Comprising the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Books. Descriptive of the Sea- sons, Scenery, Rural Life, and Country Amusements. By THOMAS MILLER. Embellished by numerous and exquisite Engravings. 4 vols. in one. 12ino, Muslin, $1 75. 4 vols. separately, Paper, 37 cents each ; Muslin, 45 cents each. Really charming books. The writer is the most successful in describing rural scenery among the writers of the day. His scenes have all the freshness and beauty which characterizes the sketches of Miss Mitford and Washington Irving. The engravings are all exquisite. Professor FKOST. De Tocqueville's French Revolution, The Old Kegime and the Revolution. By ALEXIS DE TOCQUE- VILLE, of the Academic Fra^aise, Author of "Democracy in America." Translated by JOHN BONNER. 12mo, Muslin. $ 1 00 ; Half Calf, $1 85. A calm, philosophical inquiry into the causes of the French Revolution, and the working of the Old Regime. In this work M. de Tocqueville has daguerre- otyped French political society under the old monarchy; shown us where the real power lay, and how it affected individual Frenchmen in the daily avocations of life ; what was the real condition of the nobility, of the clergy, of the middle classes, of the " people, 11 of the peasantry ; wherein France differed from all oth- er countries in Europe; why a Revolution was inevitable. The information supplied under these various heads, it may safely be said, is now first printed. It has been obtained, as M. de Tocqueville informs us, mainly from the manu- script records of the old intendant's offices and the Council of State. Of the la- bor devoted to the task, an idea may be formed from the author's statement that more than one of the thirty odd chapters contained in the volume alone cost him a year's researches. El Gringo; Or, New Mexico and her People. By W. W. H. DAVIS, late United States Attorney. 12mo, Muslin, $1 25. A lively and attractive book, commencing with a graphic account ef the jour- ney across the prairies, from Fort Independence to Santa Fe. The author then gives a brief sketch of the history of New Mexico, and describes its customs, manners, religion, administration of law, and condition of society. The ground covered is new, there being no full recent account of the territory of New Mexico. The work, therefore, will form a useful addition to the authorities on that sub- ject, besides being very agreeable reading. HARPER & BROTHERS 1 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 85 Dore, By A STROLLER IN EUROPE. 12 mo, Muslin, $1 00. A book of travels, as the author says in his Preface, as little in the style of the guide-books as possible. Full of keen love of the ludicrous bright, sparkling, and genial showing on every page that the author was at home in every situa- tion, from the ridiculous flannel gown and omnium gatherum of the baths at Loeche to the grisette's floor, au sixiemc, in Paris. It is hardly to be called a book of travels. It is a collection of notes of adventure and thoughts suggested by incidents of foot, vettura, and diligence journeying on the Continent. European Acquaintance : Being Sketches of People in Europe. By J. W. DE FOREST. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. One of the most readable, pleasant volumes upon Europe, or rather upon per- sons there encountered by the author, published for some time. The charm of Mr. De Forest's book is his utter want of pedantry. He passes over what is called classic ground, and avoids referring to what other writers have said. He conveys his own impressions in a very agreeable manner. Boston Transcript. Madeira, Portugal, and the Andalusias. Sketches and Adventures in Madeira, Portugal, and the Andalu- sias of Spain. By the Author of "Daniel Webster and his Con- temporaries/' With Illustrations. 12mo, Muslin, $1 25. In this record of frolicsome adventure, the author lives over again the scenes in which he fully verifies the old proverb of "When in Rome do as the Romans do." He becomes one of the people among whom he temporarily loiters, adapts himself to the humor of the moment like a native, and thus bears away a sin- gularly racy experience of every soil over which he wanders. Few books of modern travel combine so much novel information with such an insinuating nonchalance of manner, or present the countries which they describe i'n such a fascinating light. Life of De Witt Clinton, With a Selection of his Letters. By JAMES RENWICK, LL.D. Portrait. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents. A most judicious and able life of this illustrious statesman, and the only one in any degree adapted to popular reading. Lives of Jay and Hamilton, Lives of John Jay and Alexander Hamilton.

It has been the design of the author of this work to produce a treatise which should be authentic in every particular, worthy to be trusted and appealed to upon every question of importance to the wool-grower. That he has succeeded in this endeavor is abundantly shown by the testimonials of the New York State Agricultural Society, who recommend the work in the highest terms. Its value is much enhanced by the portraits of the principal varieties of sheep, which are pronounced by competent judges to be entirely accurate.

HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. H3 THACKERAY'S WORKS. Thackeray's novels are an indispensible portion of every well-selected library. His vivid pictures of real life, his keen perception of the shams and pretense that lurk under an imposing exterior, his biting sarcasm on fashionable follies, his anatomical dissection of character, with the terse and pointed vigor of his style, place him in the front rank of English fiction-writers, and assure a lasting fame to his productions. The personages who have been the subjects of his caus- tic pen appear like the men and women whom we meet in the daily walks of so- ciety, and, by their life-like naturalness, make an indelible impression on the imagination and memory. No popular novelist has succeeded so well in repre- senting the darker shades of human nature without indulging in exaggeration or description of low depravity. His works are no less valuable as an introduc- tion to a knowledge of the world than as an inexhaustible fund of entertainment. Why have I alluded to this man? I have alluded to him, reader, because I think I see in him an intellect profounder and more unique than his contempo- raries have yet recognized ; because I regard him as the first social regenerator of the day as the very master of that working corps who would restore to rec- titude the warped system of things; because 1 think no commentator on his writ- ings has yet found the comparison that suits him, the terms which rightly char- acterize his talent. They say he is like Fielding; they talk of his wit, humor, comic powers. He resembles Fielding as an eagle does a vulture ; Fielding could stoop on carrion, but Thackeray never does. His wit is bright, his humor attrac- tive, but both bear the same relation to his serious genius that the mere lam- bent sheet-lightning, playing nnder the edge of the* summer cloud, does to the electric death-spark hid in its womb.

In none of the productions of Thackeray's pen is his admirable genius exhib- ited to greater advantage than in these exquisite sketches of the English humor- ists. His fine and subtle criticisms of their literary characteristics are by no means the most valuable feature of the work. He aims rather at giving a faith- ful portraiture of their personal traits ; at presenting them in the familiarity of their homes and habitual haunts ; at showing us the men whom we have chiefly known as writers, and enabling the readers to trace their characters in their pro- ductions. Such a gallery of intellectual celebrities, with pictures so accurately drawn, so brilliantly colored, and BO exquisitely shaded, is not to be found in any language.

A series of volumes containing severally full atecounts of the lives, characters, and exploits of the most distinguished sovereigns, potentates, and rulers that have been chiefly renowned among mankind, in the various ages of the world, from the earliest periods to the piesent day. The successive volumes of the series, though they each contain the life of a single individual, and constitute thus a distinct and independent work, follow each other in the main, in regular historical order, and each one continues the general narrative of history down to the period at which the next volume takes up the story ; so that the whole series will, when completed, present to the read- er a connected narrative of the line of general history from the present age back to the remotest times. The narratives are intended to be succinct and comprehensive, and are written in a very plain and simple style. They are, however, not juvenile in their char- acter, nor intended exclusively for the young. The volumes are sufficiently large to allowr each history to comprise all the leading facts in the life of the per- sonage who is the subject of it, and thus to communicate all the information in respect to him which is necessary for the purposes of the general reader. Such being the design and character of the works, they would seem to be spe- cially adapted, not only for family reading, but also for district, town, school, and Sunday-school libraries, as well as for text-books in literary seminaries. The volumes already issued have had a wide circulation in all parts of the country more than two hundred thousand volumes having been already sold. The plan of the series, and the manner in which the design has been carried out by the author in the execution of it, have been highly commended by the press in all parts of the country. The whole series has been introduced into the school libraries of several of the .largest and most influential states.

Marco Paul makes his journeyings under the guid- ance of a well-informed tutor, who takes care to give him all the information of which he needs. The narrative is rendered still further attractive by the in- troduction of personal incidents which would naturally befall the actors of the story. No American child can read this series without delight and instruc- tion. But it will not be confined to the juvenile library. Presenting a vivid commentary on American society, manners, scenery, and institutions, it has a powerful charm for readers of all ages.

The incidents are drawn from the common social life of England, and are described with such ex- quisite naturalness as to produce an ineffaceable impression of reality. Such a succession of vivid, home-like scenes as form the substance of this volume is rarely enjoyed in works of fiction, and they derive an additional charm from the unaffected expressive diction in which the narrative is clothed."

Montgomery, after alleging that "Summerfield was a fervent, fearless, and self-sacrificing preacher, the delight of wondering, weeping, and admiring au- diences wherever he went," adds, " on reading his manuscript sermons, in one main point I was disappointed. The Sermons of Summerfield are less calculated for instantaneous effect than for abiding usefulness" They are peculiarly char- acterized by elegance, originality, Scriptural phraseology, and the holy, melt- ing, persuasive eloquence of " words that breathe and thoughts that burn." By powerful arguments they convince the judgment, and by fervent appeals to the conscience arouse the heart.

La Plata : The Argentine Confederation, and Paraguay. Being a Narrative of the Exploration of the Tributaries of the River La Plata and Adjacent Countries, during the Years 1853, '54, '55, and '56, under the orders of the United States Government. By THOMAS J. PAGE, U.S.N., Commander of the Expedition. With Map and numerous Engravings. 8vo, Muslin, $3 00; Half Calf, $400. This volume contains the Official Narrative of one of the most important Ex- peditions ever sent out by our Government. The vast region drained by the River La Plata and its tributaries was closed to commerce and navigation by the rigid Colonial Laws of Spain, the civil wars which followed the Independence, and the subsequent selfish policy of Rosas, the tyrant of Buenos Ayres. After the defeat and flight of Rosas, one of the first acts of Urquiza, the able and en- lightened Director of the Argentine Confederation, was the decree of August 28, 1852, declaring the waters of the Confederation free to the flags of all nations. Our Government was the first to avail itself of this decree. Early in 1853 the steamer Water Witch was placed under the command of Lieutenant PAGE, with instructions to explore the Rivers of La Plata, and report upon their navigabili- ty and adaptation to commerce. Lieutenant PAGE executed his commission with rare fidelity and intelligence, and has embodied the results in this volume. The explorations described in the narrative embrace an extent of 3600 miles of river navigation, and 4400 miles of journey by land in Paraguay and the Argentine Confederation. The River Paraguay alone was found to be navigable, at low water, by a steamer drawing nine feet, for more than 2000 miles from the ocean. The basin of La Plata is almost equal in extent to that of the Mississippi, and not inferior in salubrity of climate and fertility of soil, while the head waters of its rivers penetrate the richest mineral provinces of Brazil and Bolivia. The pro- ducts of this region must find their outlet through the River La Plata. The population numbers scarcely one person to a square mile, but great inducements to emigration are now offered by the Argentine Confederation. The commerce of the country, already considerable, is capable of immediate and almost indefi- nite increase. Lieutenant PAGE'S Narrative contains ample information respect- ing the soil, climate, and productions of the country, and the manners, habits, and customs of the people. An interesting and valuable account of the Jesuit Missions in La Plata is appended to the Narrative. The Illustrations comprise the accurate Map of the Country prepared by the orders of our Government, Portraits of Urquiza, Lopez, Francia, and Loyola, and numerous Engravings of Scenery, Character, and Incident. Inez, A Tale of the Alamo. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. A very spirited and powerful story, by an American lady.

Tales from the Operas, The Incidents of each Opera are related in a graphic and pleas- ing style, while preserving the force and spirit of the Original. Edited by GEORGE FREDERICK PARDON. 12mo, Muslin. The usefulness of this book, apart from the interest of the narratives, will at once commend itself to every reader. To those who frequent the Opera it is in- valuable, and to those who speak and hear of it only, it is indispensable. The main incidents of the most celebrated Lyric Dramas are embodied in this work, the periods of history to which they refer are illustrated, the principal characters delineated, the plots unravelled, and the genius and spirit of each Opera care- fully and lucidly brought out. How few who visit the Opera House understand the nature and particulars of that which is being enacted ? and how few partic- ipate in the beauty and comprehensiveness of the music? In this book we can once more listen with rapt attention to the stirring tales of the Huguenots ; re- joice with Massaniello and William Tell ; weep with Norma and Desdemona ; shudder at the crimes of Lucrezia Borgia; laugh at the miseries and perplexities of Don Pasquale : make merry with the Barber of Seville ; be melted at the woes of La Traviata, or sit spell-bound and watch the Somnambulist crossing the creaking bridge. In a word, how few can intelligently enjoy and appreciate these master-pieces of dramatic and lyric art without an accurate and succinct knowledge of the narratives on which they are founded ? To provide this knowl- edge is the object of the present volume. The Laird of Norlaw, A Scottish Story. By Mrs. OLIPHANT. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00. The author is one of the most truthful delineators of domestic life. The first perusal of her books insures a second, and often a third reading, and, like the novels of Sir Walter Scott, the more frequently they are reverted to, the greater the pleasure. We have very little doubt that the same marks of permanent fa- vor which yet abide by the tales of Miss Edgeworth and Miss Austen, and the novels of Scott and Bulwer, are in store for this gifted lady's agreeable works of fiction.

By the Author of "Peep of Day," " Reading without Tears," &c. 16mo, Muslin. ' Tell me more about Jesus," is the request that would more frequently be heard if parents and teachers would take the pains to make what they tell the children interesting ; and this may easily be done by means of the many appli- ances within reach. A map of the Holy Land, and a plan of Jerusalem, with a few prints, will always enable the intelligent senior to make his or her Scripture lesson agreeable to the juniors. The author of this little book has already shown her aptitude for the work in her " Peep of Day," and other publications, but in none more prominently than in this. It consists of a series of stories, of about two pages long, embracing the whole of the events in the life of our blessed Lord, told in a plain, simple style, suited to the capacities of children of seven or eight years of age. But better still, all good children's books are good for adults ; and this will be found equally useful to put into the hands of very ignorant grown- up people, who may from this learn the story of man's redemption in an intelli- gent manner. Many of the lessons are illustrated with cuts of the places men- tioned. Reading without Tears; Or, a Pleasant Mode of Learning to Eead. By the Author of " Peep of Day," ' ' More about Jesus," &c.

It contains a picture for every word of spelling capable of pictorial explanation. The reading lessons have been carefully selected, being composed of the prece- ding spelling lessons, by which means, together with the picture meanings, the words are easily impressed on the memory of a very young child. -London Ath- enaeum. Ellis's Madagascar, Three Visits to Madagascar, during the Years 1853-1854-1856. Including a Journey to the Capital, with Notices of the Natural History of the Country and of the Present Civilization of the Peo- ple. By the Rev. WILLIAM ELLIS, F.H.S., Author of "Polyne- sian Researches." Illustrated by a Map and Wood- cuts from Photographs, &c. 8vo, Muslin. Mr. Ellis is a zealous missionary an active, intelligent, resolute, handy, ob- servant, and well-informed man and a lively, interesting, unaffected writer. In this handsome volume he gives us a very minute account of three several visits which he paid within the last five years to the little known but very remarkable island of Madagascar. He took with him a camera, and his book is illustrated by a number of portraits and views of scenery of whose accuracy we are assured by their having been photographed on the spot. Mr. Ellis was accustomed to keep a journal, in which he noted down every evening the events of the day; and that journal, transmitted to England in the form of letters, furnished the mate- rials for the present volume. It is a readable book. It takes us into untrodden fields ; and its style is characterized by truthfulness, simplicity, and a pleasing but perfectly unobtrusive earnestness. The questions opened out by this book are of such public interest at present that we can not err in predicting for it a success scarcely second to Dr. Living- stone's u Journal." We commend our readers, architectural, botanical, political, or theological, to this excellent book. London Athenaeum. 186 HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.

GEORGE PECK, D.D. Beautifully Illustrated. 12mo, Mus- lin, f 1 25. A clear and complete narrative of the early settlement of Wyoming, the massacre of its inhabitants, and the principal incidents in the lives of the survivors. Almost every chapter has in it the groundwork of an historical novel. There is no class of readers who will not peruse it with pleasure. The work is rendered still more in- teresting by a variety of pictorial illustrations, comprising some artistic sketches. Dr, Thome. A Novel. By ANTHONY TROLLOPE. Author of "Barchester Towers," &c. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00. Mr. Trollope has a real sense of fun a thing not common in these days. We can promise a hearty laugh to all who undertake " Doctor Thorne" a laugh that does good to the laugher, not cynical and cruel, but hearty and sympathet- ic, and there are so few books now-a-days that make us laugh. There is genu- ine humor in " Doctor Thorne," not strained or ambitiously displayed, but arising from the natural play of the characters. The characters are real creatures of hu- man nature, flesh and blood, vigorously and broadly drawn, bnt not caricatured. We are prepared to name him (the author of Doctor Thorne) among the illus- trious living writers of fiction. * * In Doctor Thorne the handling is broad and powerful, but sure, and under strong restraint ; every touch tells, because every touch is the result of thought and feeling, subdued with rare technical skill. * * The author's broad and vigorous portraiture, his keen insight into character, his subtle and penetrating observation, embrace too widely and pierce too deeply into the society around him not to give to all he writes the strength and consist- ency of a purpose ; and we cheerfully add that his purpose seems to us to be un- exceptionable in its courageous independence and brave humanity. The Leader. Memoirs of Rachel, By Madame De B . 12mo, Muslin, $1 00. " A volume full of spicy gossip and anecdote of the great Hebrew tragedienne. The authoress follows her subject minutely, through the many eventful phases of her career ; recounting with French liveliness and spirit all those accidents and incidents which made up Rachel's strange and contradictoiy character. She gives, besides, a most interesting account of the French theatrical world, its man- agement by the government, and of that life behind the green curtain in France, of which Rachel was so long the centre." > HARPER & BROTHERS 1 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 187 Self-Made Men, By CHARLES C. B. SEYMOUR. Many Portraits. 12mo, 588 pp., Muslin, f 1 25 ; Muslin, gilt edges, $1 40; Half Calf, $2 10. The author includes in this volume not only those individuals who have risen to scientific or social eminence without the usual appliances of education, but a great variety of men who, though favored with the usual advantages of literary culture, have carved out their way to usefulness and renown in the midst of for- midable obstacles, by the force of their own genius and energy. Thus we have sketches of Daniel Webster, Immanuel Kant, Fichte, Sir William Jones, and others, who, though self-made men, can hardly be called self-educated men: these are by the side of Elihu Burritt, Burns, Henry Clay, Dr. Franklin, and sev- eral others of a similar stamp, who, in spite of the want of a regular early educa- tion, have gained a position among their fellow-men which tempts one to consid- er the learning of the schools as superfluous. The unity of the volume according- ly, is to be found in the fact that it consists of the biographies of persons who have won distinction by dint of struggle. The subjects comprise statesmen, scholars, poets, inventors, men conspicuous for their mental ability and attract- ive for their moral worth. The book can not fail to be useful wherever it is read. Fred Markham in Russia; Or, the Boy Travelers in the Land of the Czar. By W. H. G. KINGSTON, Esq., Author of "Salt Water," "Peter the Whaler," " Mark Seaworth," " Manco," &c.

" No youth of an inquiring mind will lay aside this entertaining volume with- out mastering its contents, and recollecting them, too ; for the author has so managed his subject as surely to absorb the minds of his youthful readers. It is full of information, which will be equally interesting to all classes of readers. Indeed, it describes many things in Russia which are scarcely mentioned in works of far greater. pretension." Adam Bede, A Novel. By GEORGE ELIOT, Author of " Scenes of Clerical Life." 12mo, Muslin, Among the new writers of fiction who have recently appeared in Great Brit- ain, we should place George Eliot, the author of Scenes of Clerical Life, at the head. We should be at a loss to name any English novelist of the present day who has excelled the author in his pictures of domestic life, or who has shown a higher order of talent in the delineation of individual character, than the author of these admirable tales. They make us acquainted with an entirely new phase of English Life that of the middle-class religious family and they are wholly free from the flippancies, affectations, and maudlin sentiments which are pecu- liar to the majority of the so-called religious novels.

Obviously the production of a peculiar and remarkable writer, whose style showed little or no family resemblances with that of any living author. * * He has made us weep over his pathos, and laugh over his comedy; and he has done so with a quiet truth which we find in few of his contemporaries.

SMITH HOMANS, Jr., B.S., Au- thor of " An Historical and Statistical Account of the Foreign Commerce of the U. S."

Sheep extra, 2 vols., $8 00; Law Sheep, 2 vols., $8 00 ; Half Calf extra, 2 vols., $8 75. This work is a compendium of commercial knowledge, including articles upon the trade of every important maritime country and city in the world ; copious and reliable statistics upon the staple productions of every climate ; essays upon commercial subjects; synopsis of the laws regulating commerce ; and, generally, information and statistics upon every important commercial subject. The want of a comprehensive commercial work of this kind has long been felt in the United States a work exhibiting the condition and resources of the Uni- ted States and the separate States, as well as of foreign nations. The only at- tempt hitherto made in this country to supply the want of such a work was the reprint, more than twenty-five years ago, of M'Culloch's Dictionary of Commerce and Commercial Navigation. This work is very deficient in statistics relating to this continent, particularly of the United States, while many subjects of great importance to commercial men are either omitted entirely or mentioned only incidentally. The extensive and important changes that have taken place within the past ten years in commercial affairs the establishment of new States, new Territories, new commercial places the unexampled increase of the commerce of the United States, of the development and the record of the great industrial resources of the United States all seem to require a new and distinct work, with a view to place before commercial readers a more ample account of the progress of commerce throughout the world. The present volume has been prepared with a view to supply, in part, this want; and while the editors have aimed at presenting a fair exhibit of the finances, the internal and foreign commerce, the staple pro- ducts of each State, they have at the same time gathered together the latest statistics in reference to the products and the commercial relations of foreign nations: especially of those with whom the United States have the most inti- mate intercourse. The work contains over 2700 subjects. I HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 189 Life of North American Insects, With numerous Illustrations drawn from Specimens in the Cabi- net of the Author. By Professor JAEGER, assisted by H. C. PRESTON, M.D. 12mo, Muslin. The present work is the fruit of Entomological investigations, pursued by the author for many years during his extensive travels in Europe, Asia, and on this Continent and is accompanied by a thorough examination of all the works published on the subject in the various European languages. No branch of Natural History deserves a more careful and thorough study than the class of Insects, because none is more abounding in use or injury to man none pre- sents so great diversity of occupations and so many grades of society. The study and knowledge of the companions that swarm around us on every tree and flower, in the air about us, and on the earth beneath us, must be important and interesting to every one, of whatever mental capacity or taste. And it has been very generally so considered, for the rich and poor, lettered and unlettered, the statesman and philosopher, manufacturer and merchant, husbandman and horticulturist, clergyman and physician, have often made this study the principal occupation of their leisure hours. Fankwei ; Or, The San Jacinto in the Seas of India, China, and Japan. By WILLIAM MAXWELL WOOD, M.D., U.S.N., late Surgeon of the Fleet to the United States East India Squadron, Author of " Wandering Sketches in South America, Polynesia," &c., &c. 12mo, Muslin, $ 1 25. The veteran surgeon of the United States fleet composing the expedition to Siam, here presents an interesting record of his experience in the waters of the East. His volume contains several graphic episodes illustrative of life on board ship, together with a great amount of information concerning the manners and customs, political condition, and religious ideas of the remote regions to which his official capacity gave him intimate access. He writes in a style which bears the impress of a decided individuality, showing the resolute thinker and observer. In addition to the topics which naturally fall within the compass of his narrative, Dr. Wood presents numerous comments on the naval discipline and traditions with which many years have made him familiar. They are brought forward with sailor-like frankness, and man-of-war life is hit off in a manner which will com- pare favorably with Herman Melville's Sea sketches.

With Correc- tions and Additions, and the Insertion, in Alphabetical Order, of the Proper Names occurring in the principal Greek Authors, by HENRY DRISLER, M.A. Royal 8vo, Sheep extra, $5 00. The work of Liddell and Scott is esteemed by scholars as incomparably the best Greek lexicon ever published. It fs constructed on the true principles of lexicog- graphy, and presents, besides the clear and consistent signification of each word, its history, the changes it has undergone, and especially its usage in each of the great eras of the language. On the score of completeness, accuracy, comprehen- siveness, and scholarship, the work is not to be named in comparison with Donne- gan, or any other Greek-English lexicon. Its publication was hailed with great satisfaction by all professors and teachers of the Greek language, and has done much to advance Greek learning among us. A significant testimonial to its value is to be found in the fact that, from its first appearance, this lexicon was adopted in the English schools to the exclusion of all others, received the stamp of public ap- probation, and^was awarded the palm of decided superiority over other lexicons. Professor Drisler has not only carefully prepared the work, but has added large- ly to its value, especially by the insertion of all the proper names in their alpha- betical order.

A Treatise on Arithmetic, Theoretical and Practical. Fourth edition. 12mo, 352 pages, Sheep extra, 75 cents. This volume explains, in a simple and philosophical manner, the theory of all the ordinary operations of Arithmetic, and illustrates them by examples suffi- ciently numerous to impress them indelibly upon the mind of the pupil. The most important information required respecting the usual forms of business is given in a clear and concise manner. The book is designed for the use of ad- vanced students in our public schools, and furnishes a complete preparation for the study of Algebra, as well as for the practical duties of the counting-house. The answers to about one-third of the questions are given in the body of the work ; but in order to lead the student to rely upon his own judgment, the an- swers to the remaining questions are purposely omitted. For the convenience, however, of such teachers as may desire it, there is published a small edition con- taining the answers to all the questions. 214: HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. LOOMIS'S SERIES, Continued. Elements of Algebra, Designed for the use of Beginners. Fourteenth edition. 12mo, 281 pages, Sheep extra, 62 cents. This volume is intended for the use of students who have just completed the study of arithmetic. It is believed that it will be found sufficiently clear and sim- ple to be adapted to the wants of a large class of students in our common schools. It explains the method of solving equations of the first degree, with one, two, or more quantities ; the principles of involution and of evolution ; the solution of equations of the second degree ; the principles of ratio and proportion, with arith- metical and geometrical progression. Every principle is illustrated by a copious collection of examples, and at the close of the book will be found a collection of two hundred miscellaneous problems. A Treatise on Algebra, Nineteenth Edition. 8vo, 359 pages, Sheep extra, $1 00. This treatise is designed to contain as much of algebra as can be profitably read in the time allotted to this study in most of our colleges, and those subjects have been selected which are most important in a course of mathematical study. Par- ticular pains have been taken to cultivate in the mind of the student a habit of generalization, and to lead him to reduce every principle to its most general form. It is believed that, in respect of difficulty, this treatise need not discourage any youth of fifteen years of age who possesses average abilities, while it is designed to form close habits of reasoning, and cultivate a truly philosophic spirit in more mature minds. In accordance with the expressed wish of many teachers, a classi- fied collection of two hundred and fi ty problems is appended to the last edition of this work. Elements of Geometry and Conic Sections, Seventeenth Edition. 8vo, 234 pages, Sheep extra, 75 cents. The arrangement of the propositions in this treatise is generally the same as in Legendre's Geometry, but the form of the demonstrations is reduced more nearly to the model of Euclid. The propositions are all enunciated in general terms, with the utmost brevity which is consistent with clearness. The short treatise on Conic Sections, appended to this volume, is designed particularly for those who have not time or inclination for the study of analytical geometry. The last edi- tion of this work contains a collection of theorems without demonstration and problems without solution, for the exercise of the pupil. Trigonometry and Tables, Sixteenth Edition. 8vo, 360 pages, Sheep extra, $1 50. The Trigonometry and Tables, bound separately. The Trigo- nometry, (1 00 ; Tables, $1 00. This work contains an exposition of the nature and properties of logarithms ; the principles of plane trigonometry ; the mensuration of surfaces and solids ; the principles of land surveying, with a full description of the instruments employed ; the elements of navigation, and 01 spherical trigonometry. The tables furnish the logarithms of numbers to 10,000, with the proportional parts for a fifth figure in the natural number ; logarithmic sines and tangents for every ten seconds of the quadrant, with the proportional parts to single seconds ; natural sines and tan- gents for every minute of the quadrant ; a traverse table ; a table of meridional parts, &c. The last edition of this work contains a collection of one hundred mis- cellaneous problems at the close of the volume. HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 215 LOOMIS'S SERIES, Continued.

The first part of this volume treats of the application of algebra to geometry, the construction of equations, the properties of a straight line, a circle, parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola ; the classification of algebraic curves, and the more im- portant transcendental curves. The second part treats of the differentiation of algebraic functions, of Maclaurin's and Taylor's theorems, of maxima and minima, transcendental functions, theory of curves, and evolutes. The third part exhibits the method of obtaining the integrals of a great variety of differentials, and their application to the rectification and quadrature of curves, and the cubature of solids. All the principles are illustrated by an extensive collection of examples, and a classified collection of a hundred and fifty problems will be found at the close of the volume. Elements of Natural Philosophy, Designed for Academies and High Schools. 12mo, 352 pages, Sheep extra, $1 00. This volume exhibits in a concise form the fundamental principles of Natural Philosophy, arranged in their natural order, and explained in a clear and scien- tific manner, without requiring a knowledge of the mathematics, beyond that of the elementary branches. It treats of Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, Acoustics, Heat, Optics, Magnetism and Electricity. Special pains have been taken to make this work both practical and interesting, by borrowing illustra- tions from common life, and by explaining phenomena which are familiar to all, but whose philosophy is not generally well understood. The volume is designed particularly for the use of the higher classes in Academies and High Schools. Practical Astronomy, An Introduction to Practical Astronomy, with a Collection of Astronomical Tables. 8vo, 497 pages, Sheep extra, $1 50. This work furnishes a description of the instruments required in the outfit of an observatory, as also the methods of employing them, and the computations grow- ing out of their use. It treats particularly of the Transit Instrument and of G rad- uated Circles ; of the method of determining time, latitude, and longitude, with the computation of eclipses and occultations. The work is designed for the use of amateur observers, practical surveyors, and engineers, as well as students who are engaged in a course of training in our colleges. The tables which accompany this volume are puch as have been found most useful in astronomical computa- tions, and to them has been added a catalogue of 1500 stars, with the constants re- quired for reducing the mean to the apparent places. Recent Progress of Astronomy, Especially in the United States. A thoroughly revised Edition. Illustrations. 12mo, 396 pages, Muslin, $1 00. This volume is designed to exhibit, in a popular form, the most important astro- nomical discoveries of the past ten years.

They are executed with remarkable neatness, and, embodying the latest geographical discoveries, will be found highly valuable, both for seminaries of learning and the private student. PROF. M'CLINTOCK'S CLASSICAL SERIES. The series of books prepared by Professor John McClintock, and published by Harper & Brothers, which we have now used for nearly two years with signal suc- cess, is an immeasurable advance upon the systems pursued, twenty-five years ago, of worrying and wearying through the whole of the Latin and Greek Gram- mars. By the more rational system now in use, we learn a little of the grammar first, and use it as soon as learned, in oral or written exercises, until it becomes as familiar as one's own mother tongue, and the pupil can render from Latin or Greek into English, or from English into Latin or Greek, with equal readiness. School Report, at Lawrence, Mass., Jem., 185D. M'Clintock's First Book in Latin. A First Book in Latin ; Containing Grammar, Exercises, and Vocabularies, on the Method of constant Imitation and Repeti- tion. With Summaries of Etymology, and Syntax. By Rev. J. M'CLINTOCK, D.D., late Professor of Languages, and Rev. GEO. R. CROOKS, D.D., late Adjunct Professor of Languages, in Dick- inson College^ 12mo, Sheep extra, 75 cents. This volume has been, perhaps, more largely sold within the last few years than any other Latin elementary book. It is at once philosophical and practical. In the hands of good teachers it can not fail to give pupils a thorough knowledge of the elements of Latin. M'Clintock's Second Book in Latin. Containing Syntax and Reading Lessons in Prose ; forming a sufficient Latin Reader, with Imitation Exercises and a Vocabu- lary. 12mo, Sheep extra, 75 cents. The Second Book gives the Syntax in an enlarged form. Its reading lessons are taken wholly from Cicero and Caesar, on the principle that none but the best writ- ers should be read by beginners. The notes are ample, without giving the pupil too much aid. There is no better Latin Reader than this, even for classes that have not studied the " First Book. 11 HAEPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 217 M'Clintock's First Book in Greek. Containing a full View of the Forms of Words, with Vocabula- ries and copious Exercises, on the Method of constant Imitation and Repetition. Revised Edition. With brief Summaries of the Doctrine of the Verb, and of the Rules of Syntax. 12mo, Sheep extra, 75 cents. This is u Greek made easy, 11 not by leaving out the hard parts, but by present- ing the difficulties one at a time, and in the order most consonant to nature and reason. The book has been very widely introduced into the better class of schools, M'Clintock's Second Book in Greek, Containing Syntax, with Reading Lessons in Prose ; Prosody and the Dialects, with Reading Lessons in Verse. Forming a suffi- cient Greek Reader, with Notes and copious Vocabulary. 12mo, Sheep extra, 75 cents. This is a " Greek Reader," formed on the plan of giving the pupil no more to read than he can thoroughly master. All the Syntax and Prosody that are need- ed for the reading are given in the volume. The extracts in prose are from Xeno- phon ; those in verse from Homer and Anacreon. Mrs, Markham's History of France, A History of France, from the Conquest of Gaul by Julius Cassar to the Reign of Louis Philippe,. With Conversations at the end of each Chapter. By Mrs. MARKHAM. Prepared for the use of Schools by the addition of a Map, Notes, and Questions, and a Supplementary Chapter, bringing down the History to the pres- ent Time. By JACOB ABBOTT. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00. The History of France, by Mrs. Markham, is a very clear, succinct, and enter- taining narrative. It seems well adapted to its purpsse of communicating a dis- tinct and connected idea of the progress of events of which that most remarkable country has been the scene. A very full and carefully executed map of France, not contained in the original work, has been provided for this edition ; and in re- spect to all places of any importance mentioned in the work, there are notes of reference to facilitate finding them upon the map. Maury's Principles of Eloquence, The Principles of Eloquence. By the Abbe MAURY. With an Introduction, by Bishop POTTER. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents. Mill's Logic. A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive ; being a con- nected View of the Principles of Evidence, and the Methods of Scientific Investigation, By J. S. MILL. 8vo, Muslin, $1 50. It is excellent throughout in its plan, in its illustrative examples, and in its ex- ecution every way in a word, it is perfect of its kind. To most young persons composition is the most painful task in the culture of the mind, and so it must be as long as they are required to write out their thoughts before they have been taught to think. Your book provides a remedy for this very defective system ; it teaches the pupil how to take the first step in the difficult art of thinking, and then leads him on until he can do without a guide Rev.

By ABRAHAM MILLS, A.M. 2vols. 8vo, Muslin, $3 50; Half Calf, $5 50. The plan of this work is of a very comprehensive character. It embraces the whole field of English literature, from the origin and formation of the Anglo-Sax- on language to the close of the seventeenth century. Account is given of nearly all the noteworthy poets, historians, novelists, dramatists, divines, and philoso- phers in Great Britain and Ireland during the space of more than twelve centu- ries, with critical notices of their writings, and choice extracts sufficiently numer- ous to give a fair impression of the genius and peculiar style of each individual. Such a compendium must be a treasure to all who desire to have the gems of British literature made accessible without labor, and without the expense of a large library. Morse's School Geography, A new System of Geography, for the use of Schools. Illustrated by more than 50 Cerographic Maps, and numerous Engravings on Wood. 4to, Half Bound, 50 cents. This popular new school geography, entirely original in its plan, is extremely beautiful in its pictorial embellishments, lucid and simple in its adaptation to the purposes of popular instruction, as well as by far the cheapest of all works of the kind ever produced. Since its publication over half a million copies have been printed. The Public School Society of the city of New York unanimously adopted Morse's School Geography into their extensive schools, and it has been generally introduced into those of Philadelphia and elsewhere. The superiority of this Geography over all others, consists in, 1. The Arrangement is such that the Map, Questions on the Map, and Descrip- tion of each country are on the same page, or on pages directly opposite, enabling the pupil to refer readily from one to the other, without the inconvenience of two books, or even the necessity of turning the leaf. 2. The Maps are more numerous, and generally on a larger scale than in any other School Geography. 3. The Exercises on the Map are so framed as to presejfa a connected view of the great features of each country. 4. The Descriptions are a series of short paragraphs, -vr* jise style, and confined to the most interesting and characteristic mafct^ 6. The correct Pronunciation of difficult names is indicated by dividing into syllables, accenting, &c. 6. The General and Comparative Views at the end of the volume are on the plan first introduced by the author in 1820, and since adopted by many other School Geographies. They are regarded as well fitted to exercise and strengthen the judgment. 7. The new art of Cerography is applied for the first time to the illustration of a work of this kind, and enables the publishers to sell it at a very low price. The whole work is the result of long and careful study, and is intended to im- press upon the mind of the student such outlines of geography as will form the toest foundation for farther and extensive acquisitions.

It is in the form of letters a mode of conveying instruction which, when well followed, as in this case, possesses peculiar advantages. This work, whether used as an ele- mentary one by beginners, or as a " refresher 1 ' by adults, is one of the best which has ever been published in this country. Parker's Outlines of General History, Outlines of Gener History, Designed as the Foundation and Re- view of a Coup of Historical Reading. By RICHARD GREEN PARFFP '"""., Corresponding member of the New York Histor- ical vuthor of " Aid to English Composition." New Editio v, Additions. 12mo, Sheep extra, $1 00. These Questions on History have been constructed upon the plan suggested by Sir WALTER SCOTT in his letter to Lord MONTAGUE, where he says, " For this species of instruction, I do not so much approve of tasks and set hours for se- rious reading, as the plan of endeavoring to impart a taste for history to the youths themselves, and suffering them to gratify it in their own way. The knowledge which we acquire at freewill, and by spontaneous exertion, is like food eaten with an appetite it digests well, and benefits the system ten times more than the double cramming of an alderman." The design of this work is to lay the substratum for a course of historical reading, which may be either spontane- ously or systematically assigned. In a word, to present a panoramic view of his- tory, giving its outlines in an abbreviated form, divested of minor and tedious de- tails, and thus inspire a love of study. The work is equally adapted to schools and families. 220 HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.
