"It is an enchanting blending of biblical, classical, and scientific learning, intensely interesting both to the scholar and ordinary reader."-Richmond Chr. Advocate. "It has no ephemeral interest, but a living and permanent value."-N. York Independent. "It deserves a place in every house where the Bible is read and revered.”— Chr. Herald.

Half calf antique, $4.50. Turkey, full gilt, $5.00. Super Turkey, full gilt, or Antique, $5.50. A New History of the Conquest of Mexico. By R. A. WILSON. This is an actual History of that remarkable event -the Cortez Conquest of Mexico. Judge Wilson deems that the late Mr. Prescott has been too ready to receive the fables and traditions of the Indians as History, and is sustained in this position by Hon. Lewis Cass, the late Albert Gallatin, Rosseau St. Hilliare, the author of the History of Spain, and others. The work also presents the author's matured thoughts, in reference to the ancient civilization on this continent, and arrays facts and collateral evidence to prove, beyond a cavil, that every vestige is of Egyptian or Phoenician origin. No subject can be more interesting, or will excite greater satisfaction than to settle those questions hitherto held in doubt as to the origin of those wandering tribes which peopled this Continent for ages before Columbus discovered it, the remains and monuments of which still exist among us. The work will undoubtedly recommend itself to a large class of readers, on each side of the Atlantic, by its patient research, its large mass of curious and interesting facts, its ingenuous arguments, and its lucid, graphic, and attractive style. Illustrated with Maps and fine Wood Engravings. Cloth, $2.50. Sheep, $3.00.

This is a Tale of the Nineteenth Century, the materials of which are drawn from actual life, as seen in the city, and in the rural districts; among the lowly, the forgotten, and the neglected. In it there are no startling developments, no scenes of horror and blood, of passion or of frenzy, but life as seen and known among us under the daily pressure of trial and toil, sweetened and sanctified by religion-the moral of which appeals to our hearts.
