"The author of this work is known to the public as one of the most prolific writers of the day, and scarcely any writer in the departinent which he occupies, has acquired so extensive and well-merited a popularity. The present volume, as its title denotes, is devoted tc an illustration of the influence of mothers on their sons; and the subject is treated with thre same originality and beauty which characterize the author's other works. It will be founa to be a most delightful and useful companion in the nursery, and its influence can hardly fail to be felt; first, in quickening the sense of responsibility on the part of mothers; and next, in forming the character of the rising generation to a higher standard of intelligence and virtue."-Evangelist.

GEMS FROM TRAVELLERS.

Illustrative of various passages in the Holy Scripture, with nearly one hundred Engravings. Among the authorities quoted will be found the following dis tinguished names: Harmer, Laborde, Lane, Madden, Clarke, Pococke, Chandler, Malcom, Hartley, Russel, Jowitt, Carne, Shaw, Morier, Neibuhr Bruce, Calmet, H. Blunt, Belzoni, Lord Lindsay, &c. &c. 1 vol 12mo $1.00.

"The Holy Scriptures contain many passages full of importance and beauty, but not g berally understood, because they contain allusion to manners and customs, familiar indeed to those to whom they were originally addressed, but imperfectly known to us. In order to obviate this difficulty, this volume is now presented to the public, consisting of extracts from the narratives of travellers who have recorded the customs of the oriental nations, from whom we learn that some usages were retained among them to this day, such as existed at the times when the Scriptures were written, and that these names are in many instances little changed since the patriarchal times. The compiler of this volume trusts that it may be the means, under God's providence, of leading unlearned readers to a more general ao quaintance with Eastern customs, and assist them to a clearer perception of the propriets and beauty of the illustrations so often drawn from them in the Bib

PALMER'S

TREATISE ON THE CHURCH. A Treatise on the Church of Christ. Designed chiefly for the use of Students in Theology. By the Rev. William Palmer, M.A., of Worcester College, Oxford. Edited, with Notes, by the Right Rev. W. R. Whittingham, D.D., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Maryland. Two vols. 8vo., handsomely printed on fine paper. $5 00.

"The treatise of Mr. Palmer is the best exposition and vindication of Church Principies that we have ever read; excelling contemporaneous treatises in depth of learning and solidity of judgment, as much as it excels older treatises on the like subjects, in adaptation to the wants and habits of the age. Of its influence in England, where it has passed through two editions, we have not the means to form an opinion; but we believe that in this country it has already, even before its reprint, done more to restore the sound tone of Catholic prineiples and feeling than any other one work of the age. The author's learning and powers of combination and arrangement, great as they obviously are, are less remarkable than the sterl ing good sense, the vigorous and solid judgment, which is everywhere manifest in the trea tise, and confers on it its distinctive excellence. The style of the author is distinguished for dignity and masculine energy, while his tone is everywhere natural; on proper occasions, reverential; and always, so far as we remember, sufficiently conciliatory.

"To our clergy and intelligent laity, who desire to see the Church justly discriminated from Romanists on the one hand, and dissenting denominations on the other, we earnestly commend Palmer's Treatise on the Church."-N. Y. Churchman.

PAROCHIAL SERMONS,

BY JOHN HENRY NEWMAN, B.D.,

Fellow of the Oriel College and Vicar of St. Mary the Virgin's Oxford. The six volumes of the London edition complete in two elegant 8vo. volumes of upwards of 600 pages each. $5 00. Mr. Newman's Sermons have probably attained a higher character than any others ever published in this country. The following recommendatory letter (is one of the many) received by the publishers during their progress through the press.

From the Bishop of North Carolina.

Raleigh, Nov. 28, 1842. Your letter announcing your intention to republish the Parochial Sermons of the Rev. John Henry Newman, B.D., Oxford, has given me sincere pleasure. In complying with your request for my opinion of them, I do not hesitate to say,-after a constant use of them in my closet, and an observation of their effect upon some of my friends, for the last six years,-that they are among the very best practical sermons in the English language; that while they are free from those extravagances of opinion usually ascribed to the author of the 90th Tract, they assert in the strongest manner the true doctrines of the Reformation in England, and en force with peculiar solemnity and effect that holiness of life, with the means thereto, so char acteristic of the Fathers of that trying age. With high respect and esteem, your friend and servant,

THE YOUNG STUDENT;

Or, Ralph and Victor. By Madame Guizot. From the French, by Samuel Jackson. One elegant volume of 500 pages, with illustrations. Price 75

cents.

This volume of biographical incidents is a striking picture of juvenile life. To all that numberless class of youth who are passing through their literary education, whether in boarding-schools or academies, in the collegiate course, or the preparatory studios connected with them, we know nothing more precisely fitted to meliorate their character, and direct their course, subordinate to the higher authority of Christian ethics, than this excellent delineation of The Young Student,' by Madame Guizot. It is a perfect reflecting mirror, in which the whole race may behold the resolution, the impetuosity, and the disobedient tendencies of their own nearts, as exemplified in the history of Ralph; and the moral daring, dignity, and triumph, exhibited by Victor. But it is not the son alone who is taught by Madame Guizot-every father, also, who has children still under the age of manhood, and even grandpas,' can derive rich edification from the example of Ralph's father and Victor's guardianship. The French Academy were correct in their judgment when they pronounced Madame Guizot's Student the best book of the year."-N. Y. Courier & Enquirer.

THE CHILD'S OWN STORY BOOK;

Or, Tales and Dialogues for the Nursery. By Mrs. Jerram, (late Jane Elizabeth Holmes.) Illustrated with numerous Engravings. Elegantly bound, with gold stamp on side. Price 50 cents

AUTHOR'S PREFACE. -In writing the following pages, my most earnest desire has been to awaken in the hearts of little children, kindly and affectionate feelings towards each other, submission and loving confidence towards their parents, and reverence and love towards God. This I have attempted in describing scenes and objects most of which must be familiar to every child. The language I have used is the easiest I could command, so that a child of three years old may understand it.

VERY LITTLE TALES,

For very Little Children. In single syllables of three and four letters. From the sixth London edition; illustrated with numerous engravings. Elegantly bound in cloth. Price 37 1-2 cents.

The type of this little volume is quite a curiosity, it is so large. "The suitableness of this little work to its object, is proved by the fact that the first edition went off within three weeks from the day of its publication, and that a fourth was required in a few months. It is designed for children who have just acquired the knowledge of their alphabet; a period in juvenile education which has been hitherto left without any provision of the kind "-Extract from Preface.

LUCY AND ARTHUR;

CONTENTS.-I. The Nursery. II. The Little Black Pony. III. The Little Gardens. IV. The Day's Work. V. The Walk. VI. Mamma's Stories. VII. Papa's Stories. VIII. Sunday.

"This is a book in advance of the "Very Little Tales," and intended for older lads and misses, to whom it will doubtless prove as acceptatda giít.'
