BOOKS.

Problems of Life and Mind.

The Foundations of a Creed. By GEORGE HENRY LEWES, author of “The Story of Goethe's
Life," "Biographical History of Philosophy," etc. Vol. I. 8vo. $3.00.

This volume is the first part of a very important work, embodying the author's investigations and studies for many years, in various fields of speculative and philosophical inquiry. The work attempts the transformation of Metaphysics by reduction to the method of Science, to meet "the great desire of this age for a Doctrine which may serve to condense our knowledge, guide our researches, and shape our lives, so that Conduct may really be the consequence of Belief." It gives the results of a remarkably wide range of reading, of acute and sincere thinking, and evinces at once the author's great acquirements, and his earnest desire to aid an inquiring age in securing an immovable intellectual basis for faith.

Life of Mrs. Barbauld.

Memoir, Letters, and a Selection from the Poems and Prose Writings of ANNA LETITIA Bar-
BAULD. By GRACE A. ELLIS. 2 vols. 12mo. With steel Portrait. $5.00.

This memorial of Mrs. Barbauld and revival of her most excellent works will be heartily welcomed by many. If her fame is less now than a generation ago, it is altogether fit that she should be recalled to the present generation of Americans; for she was one of the purest lights in English liter ature, and "her society was equally a benefit and a delight to all within her sphere." The Boston Transcript says:-"We have looked through the sheets of Mrs. Ellis' memoir, and have been pleased and surprised at the fullness and value of the material which she has gathered for exhibiting the admirable character and illustrating the life of Mrs. Barbauld. Part of this material the author obtained by personal efforts in England. As for the rest, she has diligently and with wonderful success culled out from contemporary literature and from the memoirs and letters of prominent persons of the time, many most interesting and striking evidences of the wide extent of Mrs. Barbauld's acquaintance and influence, and of the strength and depth of the attachment and respect with which she was cherished."

Euthanasy.

OR, HAPPY TALK TOWARDS the End of LIFE. BY WILLIAM MOUNTFORD, author of "Miracles Past and Present." New edition. I vol. 12mo. $2.00.

The object of this striking book is to realize somewhat the conditions, employments, and happi. ness of the future life, to lighten the burdens and griefs of the present by attempting vividly, yet reasonably, to anticipate the rest and satisfactions of the life to come.

"This is a book which will prove an incalculable treasure to those who are in sorrow and be reavement, and cannot be perused by any thoughtful mind without pleasure and improvement.”Christian Examiner.

Zelda's Fortune.

Vol. 37 in Osgood's Library of Novels. 8vo. Illustrated. Paper, 75 cents; cloth, $1.25. "Quite out of the range of ordinary novels. It is distinguished by unusual descriptive ower, strong characterization, and a vigor of narration that enchains the reader's attention."

Sex in Education.

By DR. E. H. CLARKE. $1.25.

NEW EDITIONS OF

No book published within many year, has excite the kind and degree of interest which Dr. Clarke's work has elicited. It has been sharply criticised, but its most pronounced opponents admit that it must do immense good; while its advocates deem it a work of incalculable value, their unanimous opinion being that "Every Mother and Every Teacher should read it."
