Walter and Nellie; or, The Shadow of the Rock. By the author of "Daisy Downs," "Rosy's Fourth of July," &c. Five illustrations. 16mo. pp. 293. The above named books are well adapted for Sunday-school libraries. The stories are full of interest, and contain a good moral.

Daily Walk with Wise Men; or, Religious Exercises for Every Day in the Year. Selected, arranged, and specially adapted. By Rev. Nelson Head. 12mo. pp. xx.-782. New York: Harper & Bros. The authors from whose writings this work has been compiled lived and wrote either prior to, or during the seventeenth century. The work is not sectarian, but is intended for the use of all classes of Christians. Among the writers here quoted are Chrysostom, Augustine, Taylor, Baxter, Howe, Davenant, Reynolds, Flavel, Calvin, Dr. Bates, Leighton, and many others of equal ability and piety. The author has succeeded in exhibiting every aspect of Christian life, and at the same time to render the book acceptable to youth as well as to age. Alice Barlow; or, Principle in Everything. A Village History. Six Illustrations. 16mo. pp. 268. Philadelphia: Presbyterian Publication Com

mittee.

A capital book for girls, and a pretty gift for youth of both sexes.

FICTION.

Pique: A Novel. Boston: Loring. 1863. pp. 416. The interest of this story was enough to insure our continued perusal of it until we reached its end. We anticipate for it a general popularity, and have no doubt that it will be especially attractive to female readers. It will be suggestive to all of them, and may be corrective to some. It is a minute narrative of the wayward experiences of the heart, in matters of affection, love, and marriage. It belongs rather to the reflective and subjective than to the sensational and muscular department of fiction, and is characterized by a reasonable conformity to actual life, and by a pervading healthfulness of tone. Perhaps in its unfolding of the plot there is too much prolixity. Four hundred solid pages are a large space to occupy in working up accessories and details, when the mere facts could be told in less than half a dozen. But we are not disposed to be censorious of a work so free from the objectionable traits of many of our recent spasmodic novels, and where the moral of the story is so unexceptionable and improving.

But

The Ring of Amasis. From the Papers of a German Physician. By Robert Bulwer Lytton. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1863. pp. 301. Whoever is fond of the wild, weird-like, mysterious, and terrible may here sup full upon such strangeness and horror. There is a great deal of power and penetration displayed in the composition of the work, for the author, under the name of Owen Meredith, has won a reputation for himself. we are constrained to say that, in our judgment, the general plan and execution of the story are vicious. It is an attempt, not only to work up the element of terror from a psychological standpoint, as grossly as in the Radcliff novels and the Bandit books it is worked up from a sensuous standpoint, but it adopts as its vehicle of thought the jerky, intermittentlyexplosive style of the French volcanic school. Take, for instance, such writing as this:

"He shrank back.

"The hand of Felix had disappeared. "Again it rose,

"And disappeared again."

If young England is going to naturalize such sentence-making as this among her novelists, we

shall believe that good sense has fled the isle. The vulgarism of thus cracking up sentences into brokenwinded parcels is inexcusable in Mr. Meredith. He has within him the resources of too much inherent pliability and strength to render a resort to such literary stage effects necessary in his case, and we trust he will come to the conclusion, in his future works, that our good old mother English, as we have been wont to speak, and write, and print it, is adequate to all the purposes of fiction, and stands in no need of artifices of style so shallow and tricky.

EDUCATIONAL.

Chrestomathie Française. A French Reading Book; Containing: I. Selections from the best French writers, with references to the author's French Grammar. II. The Masterpieces of Molière, Racine, Boileau, and Voltaire. With Explanatory Notes, Biographical Notices, and a Vocabulary. By William J. Knapp, A.M., Professor of Modern Languages and Literature in Madison University. 12mo. pp. 480. New York: Harper & Brothers. The distinguished publishers of this volume, in addition to their many other enterprises, contemplate issuing a series of Text Books for the study of the Modern Languages. The present work is one of that series designed to meet the growing demands of this branch of literary culture in our colleges and seminaries of learning. The selections contained in the first part, consisting of Fables, History, Poetry, Memoirs, Epistolary Correspondence, Dialogue, and Oratory, are characterized by the purity of style belonging to the authors from whom the selections have been made. In the second part the reader is furnished with the most perfect specimens of French composition. The Vocabulary will be found very useful, especially in the translation of idioms, a feature which will render the work especially useful to students. This volume inaugurates a series which cannot fail to meet with an extensive demand.

QUESTIONS OF THE DAY. Does the Bible Sanction American Slavery? By Goldwin Smith. Cambridge: Sever & Francis. 1863. pp. 107.

This is another contribution to the prolific subject of slavery. The author is Professor of History at Oxford, and he has in other works vindicated his His reputation as a learned and forcible writer. pamphlet should by no means be disregarded by those who are studying the question. He admits that "the Old Testament distinctly recognizes slavery as a Hebrew institution," and that "the New Testament speaks of slavery in several passages, and does not condemn it." His argument is that, notwithstanding these admissions, we are, for divers reasons which he enumerates, not justified in drawing "the conclusion that slavery is a divine institution, established by God for all time."

MISCELLANEOUS.

Reminiscences of Amherst College, Historical, Scientific, Biographical, and Autobiographical; Also, of other and wider Life Experiences. With four plates and a Geological map. By Edward Hitchcock. 12mo. pp. 412. With Portrait and a full Index. Northampton, Mass.: Bridgeman & Childs. During a period of thirty-eight years the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock has been prominently and honorably connected with Amherst College, twenty-eight years as Professor, and ten as President. Throughout that long period he was never prevented from giving his assigned course of instruction, either by sickness or absence. He was personally acquainted

NOV. 2, 1863.

with all the instructors, trustees, and other persons who have ever been officially connected with the College. With these facilities the author has been enabled to give to the work an interest beyond a mere historical outline of the Institution. The contents are classified under the following heads: I. Biographical Notices; II. Statistical History; III. History of the Cabinets, Laboratory, and Library; IV. Financial History; V. History of Temperance in the College; VI. Religious History; VII. Scenery and Geology; VIII. Personal History. This last named section is an autobiography interspersed with anecdotes illustrating the most interesting portions of the learned author's career. The work is well gotten up, and merits a more extended sale than books of this class generally meet with.

CATALOGUES.

Catalogue of Choice English Books and Standard American Publications. To be sold at auction on November 3d, 4th, and 5th, 1863, by Bangs, Mervin & Co., New York, Nos. 594 and 596 Broadway. pp. 62.

These books are from the stock of W. T. Berry & Co., Nashville, Tenn. We presume they are put thus upon the market in consequence of the effects of the war upon business in that section of the country. Berry & Co. are well known as larger dealers in fine and expensive books than perhaps any other house in the Southwest. It is an admirable collection of choice editions in all departments of literature, bound mostly in morocco, calf, halfmorocco, and half-calf. Gentlemen who are furnishing libraries will do well to give attention to the list, as the entire assortment is of a class not often found together in auction rooms. Orders of purchase will be filled by the auctioneers.

The parcel sale of books by Mr. Cooley, of New York, advertised in our present number, should also receive the attention of the trade. It will commence on Tuesday morning, December 1, at the Trade Sale Rooms, No. 498 Broadway. Mr. Cooley also holds regular evening sales throughout the winter season. His accounts and remittances are always prompt. Catalogue of Publications of Mason Brothers, Nos. 5 and 7 Mercer Street, New York. October, 1863. pp. 15.

This firm, as is well known, is extensively engaged in the publication of musical works. In that department they have but few if any rivals among our other book publishers. Accordingly we find in their catalogue about sixty titles, embracing a large enumeration of general and special psalmody, including collections of Anthems and Choruses, Glee Books, and Singers for academies and seminaries, school exhibitions, concerts, &c. These publications, by their thoroughness, variety, and merit, have done much to educate the musical taste of our people. Mason Brothers are also the proprietors

of an excellent list of educational works, among which are the Pinney series of French Grammars and Readers, and Lossing's School Histories. In their miscellaneous stock we find popular productions by Abbott, Lossing, Olmstead, and Parton. They also supply cabinet organs and melodeons, of which descriptive and illustrated catalogues will be furnished upon application to them. New publications by Frederick Leypoldt, 1323 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. October, 1863. pp. 14. Mr. Leypoldt's admirable taste is shown even in the getting up of his catalogue, which is an attractive specimen of typography. He deals largely in French and German works, both as seller and importer. His own publications comprise "The Ice Maiden," "Life of Chopin," "Mendelssohn's Letters," " "The Jobsiad," Heine's works, a Foreign Library, consisting of select works of fiction; a new series of standard educational works, &c. He has in preparation, among other things, an edition of Schiller's complete works, with careful revisions and new translations, and Photograph Albums of Dore's famous illustrations of "The Wandering Jew;" of Chateaubriand's "Atala,” and of Perrault's "Sleeping Beauty in the Wood." He has already published the illustrations of Dante's "Inferno," by the same artist.

Moore & Nims, Troy, New York, furnish a list of their books, maps, and globes, including Wood's Botany," Camp's "Geography," Webster's "Dictionaries," Mitchell's "Outline Map" and " Physical Map." They also, by arrangement with the manufacturers, supply the Franklin and Joslin Globes, 6, 10, 12, 16, and 30 inches in diameter. The Globes can be safely packed and shipped by railroad or steamer to any part of the United States.

A List of Books published by Messrs. Ticknor & Fields, 135 Washington Street, Boston. September, 1863.

pp. 21.

The stock of this house, as is well known, comprises some of the choicest portions of our domestic literature. The taste and energy of the firm seem inexhaustible, and they are increasing their extended list by rapidly publishing and preparing large and valuable additions thereto. The beautiful “Blue and Gold" series has, according to the catalogue before us, reached thirty-five volumes, and the new and attractive "cabinet edition" of the poets, so recently commenced, already extends to seven volumes, consisting of Longfellow, Tennyson, Whittier, and Holmes. The collection and republication of the DeQuincey papers was such an adventurous and successful achievement, that we trust the publishers will be encouraged to work up the department of select German translations which has been so auspiciously inaugurated by the Richter volumes. It is a mine of literary wealth which, if developed in a bold spirit, would doubtless yield rich products to the reader and publisher.
