Each of these works is by Dr. Thomas Guthrie, editor of "The Sunday Magazine," and they are published by Alexander Strahan & Co., New York. The first of them consists of a collection of papers of a religious character, the subjects being "Our Model," "Our Chief End," "Christian Decision," "The Christian's Work," "Perseverance in Welldoing," ," "Man's Inability," "God's Ability," "The Believer's Reward," "Good Works." The second work is more diversified in its style and contents, and will be found by the general reader to be of an extremely interesting character. The leading articles in it are "The Streets of Paris," 39.66 Sketches of the Cowgate," "Watch-Night," "Unforgiving and Unforgiven." It is unnecessary to say that, like all the other issues of Strahan & Co., the volumes are produced in an excellent style of manufacture. In the World, not of the World: Thoughts on Christian Casuistry. By William Adams, D. D., Madison Square Church, New York City. pp. 64. New York: American Tract Society. Dr. Adams has collected in this little volume some judicious thoughts on a subject which would bear more expanded treatment. His key-note is found in a citation from Vinet-"Love is the best casuist." Rachel Comforted: Thoughts for the Consolation of In this neatly-printed little volume the author offers words of Christian consolation to parents who are mourning the loss of children. Bogatzky's Golden Treasury. pp. xv., 376. New Dr. Vinton's ability as a sermonizer is well known. There are eighteen discourses collected here, all exhibiting the fervor and eloquence of the speaker. The tone is devout and elevated, and there is an entire absence of that sensational ele ment which is beginning to too great an extent to enter into pulpit performances. The Restoration of Belief. By Isaac Taylor. A new edition, revised, with an additional section. pp. 389. Boston: E. P. Dutton & Co. tained of the respective books, and the notes are The forcible logic and masculine expression which mark this work are well known.

New York: Leypoldt & Holt. The leading feature of this reader is that a vocabulary is dispensed with, and the significations of many of the words, with an indication of their inflection, are contained in foot-notes, in direct connection with each reading lesson. The Science and Practice of Medicine. By William Aikin, M. D., etc. etc. From the fourth London edition, with additions by Meredith Clymer, M. D. Vol. 2, 8vo. pp. 1114. Phila.: Lindsay & Blakiston. this work some time since, the second, which comWe noticed the publication of the first volume of pletes it, is now issued. The two volumes contain two thousand and fifty-nine pages, the additions made by the American editor being equal to three hundred and thirty pages of the English edition. These are by Prof. George R. Noyes, of Harvard The clear and methodical style in which it is writ University, and published by the American Uni- ten, as well as the fact that it contains the latest tarian Association of Boston.

The Action of Medicines in the System. 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 We are not surprised that Mr. Howells' work has passed to a second edition. It is one of the best books in its department. He knows thoroughly that whereof he writes, having seen things both as a resident and as a stranger. In the present edition he has given a new chapter, sketching the history 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 Greenleaf Whittier. pp. vi., 172. Boston: 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. 107. Boston: Dutton & Co. pp. This is not a compilation from hymn-books, but a selection of choice religious hymns, gathered with taste from a wide field. Herbert is found by the side of Heber, and Ash-Wednesday is solemnized by the Dies Iræ. JUVENILE. FICTION. With Our Mutual Friend. By Charles Dickens. 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 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 Nuts for Boys to Crack. By Rev. John Todd, D. D. some minds to accept these views, the general pp. 267. pp. 72. Christmas at the Beeches. pp. 170.

By the author of the "Wide Wide World." pp. v., 501. New York: Robert Carter & Brothers. Instruction and entertainment are here admirably conjoined. A large body of information concerning the manners and customs of patriarchal times is furnished, without the appearance of erudition, and in just such a way as to please the taste of the youthful reader. The subjects are, besides, illustrated pictorially. Even grown-up readers will find the book an edifying one. 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.
