By Frederick William Headland, M. D., B. A., F. L. S., etc. etc. Fifth American from the fourth London edition, revised and enlarged. 8vo. pp. 431. Phila. Lindsay & Blakiston. This treatise has become a classic in medicine. No one can say that he understands the action of the remedies which he prescribes unless he has read it. Every student should peruse and reperuse it. The present edition has been enlarged by the addition of important therapeutical observations and discoveries made within the last seven years. TRAVELS. Venetian Life. By W. D. Howells. pp. 401. New FICTION. Our Mutual Friend. By Charles Dickens. With original illustrations by S. Eytinge, Jr. pp. 479. Boston: Ticknor & Fields. This is another volume of the "Diamond" edition of Dickens. There are sixteen full page illustrations, each of them full of spirit. The typography, paper, and general make-up of this edition are admirable, and it deserves to be, and as we hear is, a great success. MISCELLANEOUS. Joubert: Some of the "Thoughts" of Joseph Joubert. Joubert was a native of France, born in 1754, in a small town of Perigord. He devoted himself to letters, and died in 1824. He published no book, but jotted down with his pencil the best issues of his meditations as they arose, and out of this chaos We are not surprised that Mr. Howells' work has of notes was shaped, many years after his death, passed to a second edition. It is one of the best a full volume of 66 "Thoughts," from which the books in its department. He knows thoroughly present selection has been made, scarcely amountthat whereof he writes, having seen things both as ing to one-half of the original. Mr. Calvert ranks a resident and as a stranger. In the present edi- Joubert with Pascal and La Bruyère. The transtion he has given a new chapter, sketching the his-lator has occasionally added brief but scholarly tory of Venetian commerce and noting the present trade and industry of Venice, besides having amplified the chapter on the national holidays. He has also affixed an index to the chief historical persons, incidents, and places mentioned. POETRY. The Tent on the Beech, and other Poems. By John Ticknor & Fields. The principal poem occupies about a hundred pages, and after that we have five National Lyrics, and eight Occasional Poems. The Tent on the Beech, by its variety of versification and transitions of thought, as well as by its general merit, is extremely agreeable. It gives us an excellent idea of the adaptability of Whittier's powers, and will add to his reputation. Some of the minor poems are scarcely equal to what the author was capable of doing years ago. Daily Hymns, or Hymns for Every Day in Lent. pp. 107. Boston: Dutton & Co. This is not a compilation from hymn-books, but a selection of choice religious hymns, gathered with aste from a wide field. Herbert is found by the =ide of Heber, and Ash-Wednesday is solemnized y the Dies Ira. JUVENILE. foot-notes. The Solitudes of Nature and of Man; or, The Loneliness of Human Life. By William Rounseville Alger. pp. xii., 412. Boston: Roberts Brothers. Mr. Alger first discusses the solitudes of nature as those of the desert, the prairie, the ocean, the pole, the forest, the mountain, the river. The second part of his division treats of the solitudes of individuality, grief, love, occupation, selfishness, genius, and death. The dangers and the uses of solitude are the subject of the third part, while in the fourth we have a series of sketches of lonely characters, beginning with Buddha and Confucius and ending with Comte and Jesus. Whether all will regard the characterization of Jesus as sufficiently exhaustive may be doubted. It is admitted that He has probably contributed more than any other person to aggrandize the idea of man in the human race, but the gospel narratives of Him are said to contain "chasms, inconsistencies, and incredibilities" which put "insurmountable difficulties in the way of sure knowledge" of what he was, and did, and said. He was "not unlike others in kind, though superior in degree," and "could never have dreamed of the medieval doctrine of the atonement, could never have expected to be deified, nor have wished to be personally worshipped." Whatever hesitation there may be in Tuts for Boys to Crack. By Rev. John Todd, D. D. some minds to accept these views, the general pp. 267. icy and Bell, and how they Overcame. pp. 72. 1 literary merit of the work will doubtless meet with full recognition. The analysis and discrimination of human character and motive are keen and well defined, the illustrations are drawn from the whole field of literature, and the language is rich with rhetorical excellence. One scarcely knows whether more to admire the general exposition of the theme, or its illustration in the series of thirty-seven portraits which are sketched with such vigor and life-likeness.
