JUVENILE.

JAN. 15, 1864.

[blocks in formation]

Little Threads; or, Tangled Thread, Silver Thread, and Golden Thread. New York: A. D. F. Randolph.

This is one of Mrs. Prentiss' best books for children, and is also very suggestive to parents. Whoever reads the first page will feel drawn by a golden thread of interest to the last. The style is attractive, the story good, and the moral excellent. We commend it to the friends of juvenile readers.

I will be a Sailor. A Book for Boys. By Mrs. L. C. Tuthill. 16mo. pp. 195. Boston: Crosby & Nichols.

A little volume calculated to fascinate the young patriot and aspirant for glory.

Dream Children. By the author of "Seven Little People and their Friends." Cambridge: Sever & Francis. pp. 241.

Here is a beautifully printed, dainty, imaginative winsome little book, which will go right to the heart of the young reader. The high ideal which the author had in his mind is evident from his brief but aptly-phrased preface. He says: "I have tried to embody in the persons of child-like people, of all times of life, some conceptions of spiritual excellence, which appear to us most readily through the presence of children, and which reappear, it may be, in our less worldly moods afterwards. The beauty we dream about may be the most real after all. As too the children who bless us in our early life are by no means mere embodiments of unearthly excellence. I have not thought it necessary to rob them of their ordínary attributes for the sake of investing them with some supernatural character not so easily appreciated by us; and in consideration of their foolish credulity, which we of course have outgrown, I have permitted them still to overhear the talk of fowls of the air and beasts of the earth." All the stories are charming pieces of composition, and the volume is most appropriately styled "The Golden Treasury Juvenile." Legends of the Birds. By Charles Godfrey Leland. Illustrated by F. Moras. pp. 25.

Mother Pitcher's Poems for Little People. pp. 54. These are published by Mr. Leypoldt, of this city, and they are marked by the taste which he displays in all his publications, whether great or small. Each of them is unique in its way. The ornamentation and illustrations in the first book are attractive and appropriate, and Mr. Leland's poems exhibit his skill in versification, while the brief but apposite notes indicate his extended and curious reading.

Bertha Weisser's Wish; A Christmas Story. By M. L. B. Boston: E. P. Dutton & Co. pp. 133. This volume is written well, and printed well. The story cannot fail to interest little folks, and both language and thought are what they can perfectly understand.

Papers for Thoughtful Girls; with Illustrative Sketches of some Girls' Lives. By Sarah Tyler. Boston Crosby & Nichols. pp. vi., 344. We have placed this work in our juvenile department, but we cannot refrain from saying that it is of a much higher order of merit than most of the books which make up our current juvenile literature. It consists of a series of sixteen papers upon these topics: Youth, Intellect, Beauty, Favor, Ambition, Pleasure, Friendship, Love, Godliness, Kindness, Fashion, The Life of Pride and Levity, The

Life of Sense and Heaviness, The Life of Sarcasm and Bitterness, Consolations. Each of these papers is written with great literary excellence of style, and with a keen insight into the nature and impulses of the class to which the suggestions are addressed. Some of the subjects are blended with pertinent and touching narratives, and the entire work is so full of sense and goodness that it cannot fail to make an impression upon thoughtless as well thoughtful girls. The author has no new fangled crotchet about what is called woman's mission, nor does she purpose to transform the girl-nature into the man-nature, or rather, for such must be the result, into a non-descript, which is neither one nor the other. She would simply train up the girl as God made her, with her gentleness, loveliness, and grace, and would lead her to the constant contemplation of that pure ideal of which the charm and innocence of girlhood constitute the truest reflection on earth. We may add that the volume is a neat specimen of the Riverside Printing, and contains some graphic illustrations by Millais.

The Wild Man of the West. A Tale of the Rocky Mountains. By R. M. Ballantyne, author of "The Red Eric," &c. 12mo. pp. 419. Boston: Crosby & Nichols.

The romantic adventures and hair-breadth escapes recorded in this volume will be found very attractive to numerous readers, especially to youth. The work is highly exciting in its character, and gives the reader a peep into the dangers and daring of the hunter's and trapper's life. The Red Eric; or, The Whaler's Last Cruise. A Tale. By R. M. Ballantyne, author of the "Young Fur Traders," "The Coral Island." 12mo. pp. 420. Crosby & Nichols, Boston.

The works of this author have been well received

in the United States and in England, from the fact that his stories impart a species of knowledge not readily gained from books. The present volume abounds in such stirring scenes as storms, and shipwrecks, whale-fishing, and monkey catching, captures and escapes. Several full page wood-cuts illustrate the text.

Marmaduke Merry, the Midshipman; or, My Early Days at Sea. By William H. G. Kingston, author of "Peter the Whaler," "True Blue," "Old Jack," "The Three Midshipmen," &c. 12mo. pp. 400. Crosby & Nichols.

This story of a midshipman, written in a sprightly style, contains much that is edifying as well as amusing.

The Sisters Abroad; or, An Italian Journey. By Barbara H. Channing. 12mo. pp. 261. Crosby & Nichols.

This work contains an account of the journey of two sisters, their uncle, and cousin to Italy, with a short sojourn in all its principal cities. The incidents are related as they impressed the minds of the uninitiated travellers.

All the above works of Messrs. Crosby & Nichols are well got up. The paper and typography are excellent.

In School and Out; or the Conquest of Richard Grant; A Story for Young People. By Oliver Optic. Boston: Lee & Shepard. pp. 286.

This is a good, hearty, vigorous, muscular story, telling us how an adventurous and impulsive youth tumbled out of one scrape into another, until at last his better nature won a victory over the foe in his heart, and he made a man of himself. It is the second volume of the Woodville series, and the twentieth of the author's "Stories for Young People." Mr. Adam's juveniles leave a healthy impression; and he has a way of working his

moral into the narrative without obtruding it so palpably that it acts sometimes rather as a scare

crow.

Little Prudy. By Sophie May. 16m. pp. 167. Boston: Lee and Shepard.

A very pretty little book for little girls. The history of the talkative little Prudy Parlin and her sister Susy will be welcomed by numerous readers. Far Away; or, Life at Tanna and Samoa. Prepared for the committee by the author of "Money," "The Barclays," &c. 16mo. pp. 151. Philadelphia: Presbyterian Publication Committee. A true history of life and missionary labors in two Islands of the Pacific.

Contraband Christmas. By T. R., with Illustrations by Hoppin. 16mo. pp. 104. Boston: E. P. Dutton & Co.

A Christmas Story, which concludes with the union of two contrabands on New Year's Day.

The following works are from the Presbyterian Board of Publication, Philadelphia :

Mattie's Story; or, the Blessing of the Pure in Heart. 16mo. pp. 116.

A memoir of a young girl who died at the age of sixteen, and who devoted herself to Sundayschool labors, and studies preparatory to entering on the duties of a Missionary.

Walter and Alice; or, the Mother's Prayer Answered. By Abby Eldredge, author of "Kate Stanley." 16mo. pp. 179.

The Three Homes; or, Three Ways of Spending the Sabbath. By Nellie Grahame, author of "Diamonds Reset," "Little Annie's First Thoughts about God," &c. 16mo. pp. 216. Good for Evil, and other Stories, written for the Presbyterian Board of Publication. By Nellie Browning.

The above works belong to the "Series for Youth," now so popular as Sunday school books. The stories are designed for the religious and moral teachings of youth of both sexes.

Counsels for the School-room. A plain talk to boys and girls on entering school. By John S. Hart, LL.D. 16mo. pp. 24, paper.

This excellent tract contains a mine of precious counsel. It should be placed in the hands of every boy and girl in our land.

Infinite Love and Endless Punishment; or, The Infinity of God's Love, a Warrant for the endless punishment of Sin. By the Rev. Isaac V. Brown, D. D. 16mo. pp. 40, paper.

A tract designed to overthrow the doctrine of universal salvation.

[blocks in formation]

The aim of the author is to give plain and explicit directions for the culture of grapes in such language that all can understand, and so simple that all can follow. His object seems to deal with facts rather than with theories, and to treat of the principal topics necessary to a thorough knowledge of the management of the vine.

Wild Sports in the Far West. By Frederick Gerstaecker. Translated from the German. With eight crayon drawings, executed in oil colors, from designs by Harrison Weir. 12mo. pp. 396. Boston Crosby & Nichols.

In his preface, the author says: "I have endeavored faithfully to portray the social condition

of the Americans as it came under my observation." The writer has chronicled many thrilling incidents during his sojourn among the swamps of Arkansas, and in his hunting trip in the Ozark Mountains. Dick Rodney; or, the Adventures of an Eton Boy. By James Grant, author of the "Romance of War," "Jack Manly," &c. 12mo. pp. 424. Boston: Crosby and Nichols.

A tale of the marvellous and wild adventures of an Eton boy, who was taken to sea while asleep under the influence of liquor. After enduring great hardships, he returns to his home, tempered by the year of adversity spent on the ocean, and forms good resolves as to his future career. Frank Wildman's Adventures on Land and Water. By Frederick Gerstaecker. Translated and Revised by Lascelles Wraxall. 12mo. pp. 312. Boston Crosby & Nichols.

The works of Gerstaecker are quite familiar to literal translation. It is intended as a book for English readers. The one before us is an almost boys, and is embellished with woodcuts. The paper and type are excellent.

Familiar Quotations; being an Attempt to trace to their Source Passages and Phrases in Common Use, chiefly from English Authors, with a copious verbal Index. Fourth edition. pp. vi., 480. Boston: Little, Brown and Co.

This is an entire reconstruction of the former editions of this admirable work of Mr. John Bartlett, and it is now presented to us in a far more acceptable form. The passages cited are drawn from two hundred and fifty authors, or sources. The quotations from the Old and New Testament Occupy twenty-five pages, while those from Shakspeare run through ninety-three pages. We have been very much interested in our examination of the volume. It presents a great many curiosities in the "subsidiary literature" to which it is devoted. The editor has performed his task judiciously, and without obtruding himself too much upon the attention of the reader, manages every now and then genealogy of some striking thought or expression. in a scholarly way, to give us in a foot-note the A copious and exhaustive verbal index, occupying to every passage quoted. As respects fulness and seventy double columned pages, furnishes us a key ready adaptability to use, this work is now probably the most convenient and serviceable one of its kind.

The Character of the Gentleman, by Francis Lieber,

C. Member of the Institute of France, author of "Civil Liberty and Self-government," &c. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co.

This little work originally appeared in the form of an address, delivered to the students of Miami University, Ohio, on Commencement Eve, 1846. Repeated calls for copies of the discourse led to the publication of a second edition in 1847. Subsequently, in 1862, it was reproduced in England. The probability of a reprint of the English edition in this country led the author to prepare this, the third American edition, which has been closely revised and much enlarged. Professor Lieber is a scholar of such extended and varied erudition, that everything which comes from his pen is always worthy of a respectful and considerate attention. We have read the essay, for such it really is in its present form, with great pleasure. It analyzes briefly but pointedly the genuine ideas which enter into the proper definition of the term "gentleman," and illustrates the exposition with many apt and interesting personal and historical references. It is especially an admirable manual for placing into the hands of young graduates or students of the

professions. The high tone and breadth of view of such a diverse influence is recognized by all which it inculcates, together with the examples students of history and society. Montesquieu, as which it introduces, cannot fail to leave an elevat- is well known, pushed to its utmost limit his assering and strengthening impression upon a plastic tion of the effect of this influence, summing up his character. We should add that the volume is pre- views in the strong declaration that he would tell pared in a handsome style, and the type, paper, and you the laws of a country if you would tell him its binding, combine to constitute a neat specimen of climate. It is a subject which is full of interest, handiwork. even when regarded without exaggeration, and this essay of Bonstetten is one of the most agreeable, thoughtful, and suggestive contributions which have been made to its study. The phenomena appertaining to the two different regions are contemplated by him from almost every point of view, socially, physically, morally, and intellectually; and the book exhibits all the vivacity and fondness for generalization characteristic of a French savant.

Dreamthorp; A Book of Essays written in the Country. By Alexander Smith. pp. 299. Boston: J. E. Tilton & Co.

The publishers have given us a very good looking volume externally, and the contents are well worthy of the fine form in which they are presented. The essays are twelve in number, and their subjects are Dreamthorp, On the Writing of Essays, Of Death and the Fear of Dying, William Dunbar, A Lark's Flight, Christmas, Men of Letters, On the Importance of a Man to Himself, A Shelf in my Bookcase, Geoffrey Chaucer, Books and Gardens, On Vagabonds. We have read most of these papers with a great deal of satisfaction. Mr. Smith writes with neatness and care, and his matter exhibits a great deal of reflection, acuteness of observation, and shrewd sense. We are persuaded that thoughtful readers will find the volume extremely suggestive. It has reached a sixth edition in England, and has been greatly commended by the critics there. The essay on Death and Dying is a production of far more than ordinary merit. We were struck, however, with the odd juxtaposition of the favorite books on his "special shelf;" as far as he enumerates them they are Hawthorne's "Twice-Told Tales," Aytoun's "Ballads of Scotland," the "Lyra Germanica," Boswell's "Life of Johnson," and the poems of Ebenezer Elliott.

The Man of the North and the Man of the South; or, the Influence of Climate. Translated from the French of Ch. Victor De Bonstetten. pp. viii., 200. N. York: F. W. Christern.

It is not to be supposed, from the language of the title, that this work has any reference to the present state of affairs in our country. It was published originally thirty-seven years ago, and was intended as a general essay upon the relative influence of a northern and of a southern climate. The existence

Library Company of Philadelphia; list of books added by purchase and donation since April, 1863, to January, 1864. pp. 16.

Our count makes the additions to the library as follows: folio 1, quarto 11, octavo 80, duodecimo 418, total 510. The titles of these books are strung together in the catalogue without any other principle of classification except that afforded by the size of the volume, and the alphabetical order of the authors' names. Hence we find standing side by side Sorgo and the Sioux War, Gardening and the Greeks, Insanity and Coal Tar, Liberia's Offering and Dio Lewis on Weak Lungs. It may correct misapprehension to state that the one folio added to the library since April last is a volume of the "Scientific American."

The Irish Sketch Book, with Illustrations by the Author. By W. M. Thackeray. 8vo. pp. 179. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson & Son.

A seasonable and cheap reprint of one of the books by which the late Mr. Thackeray laid the foundation of his great popularity. It contains a lively account of his tour through Ireland, and there is a great deal to be learned about that country from so keen an observer and so able a writer. Mr. Thackeray's Irish tour, though rapid, was extensive, and the result is a book, thoroughly instructive as well as amusing. The wood-cuts are as entertaining as the text.
