The author has been a practical teacher for years, and his books are better adapted to use as School Text Books, on the Science of Botany, than any others as yet published. Each book is complete in itself, so that two or three books are not required to com plete the Course-a saving of time and money. It is especially adapted to study in cities, where specimens for analyzing are not to be had, as it contains descriptions of Garden Plants, which are readily obtained for speci mens. The Class Book has been before the public thirteen years, and has steadily gained favor until it is now the most generally used of any. This popularity has been attained entirely by its merits.

Moore & Nims: Gents-Wood's Class-Book of Botany has borne the test of experiment, and won for itself golden opinions from both teachers and pupils. I have now employed it seven seasons in the instruction of large classes in this most delightful study, and, notwithstanding the recent issue of several new and admirable Text-books, I still adhere to my old friend. I have seen no book which contained so interesting and intelligible a statement of the main facts and principles of the science condensed sufficiently for the use of those who can devote only three or four mouths to its pursuit; and, at the same time, a good description of the plants of the Northern States, with very convenient analytical tables. I am most happy to bear my testimony in Yours, truly, its favor. W. S. CLARK, Prof. of Botany in Amherst College. April 6th, 1858. MOORE & NIMS, Publishers, Troy, New York. ENGLISH Bible Warehouse. EYRE & SPOTTISWODDE, Importers and Publishers of the Standard and Authorized London Editions of WORKS. NEW AND ELEGANT EDITION. EDITED BY Richard Grant White. TO BE PUBLISHED BY SUBSCRIPTION. BY LITTLE, BROWN & CO1 112 WASHINGTON ST., BOSTON, In Twelve Volumes. Post Octavo, The labors of Mr. White in the wide field of Shakesperian research and criticism, are everywhere known and appreciated by the students and lovers of the Great Dramatist. The recent publication of his "Shakespeare's Scholar," which presented views taken by the author during several years of careful and diligent study, was hailed with delight and satisfaction on both sides of the Atlantic, and secured for him the gratitude of every intelligent reader of Shakespeare, who desired to see the text in its original purity, relieved of the mass of superfluous annotations, explanations, and attempted improvements, by which it had been encumbered, if not obscured, by most of the previous commentators. This work may be regarded as the precursor of the forthcoming edition of Shakespeare's Complete Works, and as indicating the spirit in which it was undertaken, and, in some degree, its peculiarities. The chief characteristics of this edition are as follows I. Adhesion to the text of the authentic folio of 1623, excepting where that is manifestly corrupt or defective. II. The restoration of many passages from the original text, which the editor shows to have been carelessly assumed to be corrupt in preceding modern editions. III. The successful emendation of many passages which are undeniably corrupt and which have baffled the efforts of previous editors and commentators. IV. The discovery and correction of many corruptions of the text, which have hitherto been undetected. V. A "frugal selection from the labors of all" the commentators. VI The careful preservation of the rhythm of Shakespeare's prose, as well as verse, ac cording to the contractions in use at his time, or peculiar to him, as they are given in the old editions, though almost universally neglected in those of modern date. VII. The examination, and, as far as possible, the determination, of the old modes of pronuncia. certain rate of interest upon the outlay of Bibles, Testaments, Prayer Books, &c. tion, which in numberless instances affect premiums, and avoiding the large and un necessary accumulations of unpaid dividends of uncertain tendency, and erroneously called capital. One-half of the first five annual premiums on life policies loaned to insurers if desired; the remaining half may be paid quarterly. The premiums are as low as those of any reliable Company. This is the oldest American Mutual Life Insurance Company, and one of the most successful, and is purely Mutual, dividing all the surplus profits among all the Insured. Insurance may be effected for the benefit of married women beyond the reach of their husbands' creditors. Creditors may insure the lives of debtors. Blank form of application for insurance, or the Company's pamphlet, containing the chaiter, rules and regulations, also the annual reports, showing the condition of the Company, will be furnished gratis, and re The Practical Use of the Blow-ference to parties in New York will be given pipe. when desired, upon application at the BRANCH OFFICE IN N.

The crediting of every emendation, explanation, or illustrative quotation, to the editor or commentator who first brought it forward-thus succinctly giving the reader the history of every disputed pas sage, and so, of the vicissitudes of the text. IX. The separation of the text and the notes. This edition will be accompanied by a reduced facsimile of the curious and interesting preliminary matter to the folio of 1623; by two portraits, (exclusive of that upon the title-page of the old folio), one of which has never been published in this country; and by views in Stratford on Avon, some of which have been taken specially to illustrate the Memoir of the Poct-which, with an Essay upon his Genius, a compact but comprehensive History of the Text, and an account of the Rise and Progress of the English Drama, will appear in the first volume. The work will be published by subscrip tion, in twelve volumes, post 8vo., and will be printed on new and elegant type, and very superior paper. Vols. II., III, IV., v, containing the Come. dies, will be ready in a few weeks, the Histories in the coming Autumn, and the Trage. dies, with vol I, containing the Poems and the editorial Essays, in the course of the following Spring. Price $125 per volume, bound in cloth; payable on delivery. A few copies of the work will be published with India proof impressions of the three portraits and the few wood cuts, at $1 50 per volume. Subscriptions will now be received. NEW YORK. MASON BROTHERS, Nos. 108 & 110 DUANE STREET, NEW YORK. Will Publish, July 1st, THE SABBATH HYMN BOOK. Edited by EDWARDS A. PARK, D. D., AUSTIN PHELPS, D.

The work has grown upon the hands of the editors, both in the amount of material at their disposal, and from their own increasing interest in it. THE SABBATH HYMN BOOK will be followed, as soon as the stereotype plates can be completed, by THE SABBATH HYMN & TUNE BOOK, in which all the Hymns will be set to appropriate Tunes for congregational singing, the words and music being on the same page; also, THE SABBATH TUNE BOOK.

By JOHN YOUNG, LL. D., author of "The Christ of History." Second American from last London edition. 12mo. Price, $1. Extract of a letter from Sir William Hamilton, late Professor of Logic and Metaphysics in the University of Edinburgh : "I have read it with great interest, and much admire the ability with which the subject is treated. Your work seems to me one of the best and most satisfactory which have appeared." The Presbyterian Banner says:-" This is a reprint of one of the most remarkable books which we have seen for several years, and unless we are greatly mistaken, the name of Dr. Young, the author, will soon be familiar among all the thinking classes of our land." RECENTLY PUBLISHED, A New Edition, on larger type, from New Stereotype Plates, of Pictorial History of the United States, Illustrated by Thirty-three Diagrams, and more than Two Hundred Engrav- It is so easy to test the correctness of our assertion by a comparison of this book with the various other School Histories in use, that we do not hesitate to say, that in excellence of arrangement, valuable concordance, explanatory foot notes, concisenesss and attractiveness of style, accuracy of detail, the number and beauty of its illustrations, and in all those minor excellencies which the teacher appreciates so well, Lossing's History is superior to any heretofore published. It has already been introduced into the Schools of New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, etc., and wherever used gives entire satisfaction. Lossing's Primary History of the United States is a Text Book for Younger Pupils, and designed to precede the School History. It is beautifully printed in large clear type, on superfine paper, and embellished with one hundred and twenty-five elegant wood engravings. 222 pages, 12mo. Price, 60 cts. The aim of this work is to furnish to all who would seek in the brilliant fancies of the humorist a relaxation from the cares of business, or a resource to enliven hours of dulness, or who would peruse with an appreciating eye the writings of the most gifted humorous authors who have enlivened the English language by their wit and genius; to furnish to all, in short, who love a genial and lively book, such a selection as shall satisfy the mirth-craving nature. It is an undoubted but too often forgotten fact, that a book which tends to put the mind in a frame of good humor, not only disposes men to view with quiet calmness the turbu lence and passion which agitate the world around, but also, by rendering the spirit active and buoyant, by infusing into it a cheerful and confident courage, materially aids each man in unravelling the tangled and perplexing meshes of his own affairs. Humor restrains anger, forbids surliness, it silences envy and softens pride, and while it smooths down the disagreeable' asperities of life, it disposes the mind to a tranquil and philanthropic mood.

It was a dreary night in November, 18-, when Mr. Hawthorne, a Protestant English gentleman, rode up to the gates of the Abbey of St. Barnabas, fifteen miles from the town of on the banks of the farfamed river Po. He had started from Turin early in the morning, in company with a post-chaise, containing his brother and three friends; but having left the highway to inspect a ruin at some distance across the fields, had got bewildered and lost his road. As nightfall came on, the lights from the casements of the Abbey led him, as his only protection from exposure, and the banditti who then infested the country, to seek hospitality at its gates. It was only the sheerest necessity compelled him to do so. For Mr. Hawthorne was the son of an Evangelical Minister, and his notions of monks and their persecuting spirit, were such as may be more easily imagined than described. As the sturdy lay-brother cautiously unbarred and opened the massive convent gate, the traveller's spirit was somewhat re-assured by the honest good-nature which beamed from his face; but a thrill of distrust ran through his veins as he swung back the heavy portal, still eying the guest, who had dismounted, and stood, bridle in hand, at the horse's head. The corners of the old monk's handsome mouth at that moment assumed something of a smirk, that seemed to speak a consciousness of having a high-mettled Briton in his power. The gravel creaked beneath their feet as they approached the stable, where the horse was duly cared for, and where his master left him at the invitation of the monk, to repair to the strangers' apartment and partake of some refreshment, which he stood sadly in need of, after his solitary rambles. Not long after supper, the Most Reverend Father Abbot was announced, and Mr. Hawthorne, on rising, confronted a tall, cominanding figure, in whose veins coursed some of the proudest blood of northern Italy's feudal chieftains. The mingled air of grace and majesty which formed the character of the Father Abbot impressed his visitor most favorably, and the paternal kindness with which he welcomed him to the convent halls, and on taking leave bade him a cheerful “good night, and God bless you," tended wonderfully to dispel his gloom and reassure his spirits. Still he could not but think that all this friendliness might be only apparent, while the true end was to lull all anxiety, and put him completely off his guard. He had heard from travellers, of individuals who had been known to enter similar institutions and never left them. He knew that an English Protestant would seem no better than a heretic in the eyes of the monks, whose blind zeal might lead them to any excess, against one whom they considered as an enemy of God and Holy Mother Church. He retired to rest with a heavy heart, and bitterly repented having at all entered this strange abode. Mr. Hawthorne was, in plain truth, somewhat superstitious. He had been led to believe from early infancy that monks and friars held communion with the evil spirits of the air. He believed, moreover, in presentiment; and now, do what he would, the firm conviction rested on his mind that some great mishap was going to befall him. He looked anxiously all around the room before even approaching his bed, and longer still before he laid his head on his pillow. Little did he dream of what a night he was about to pass!! He had not been asleep more than an hour when the wall opposite to his bed exhibited a streak of light. Hawthorne gazed intently upon this unexpected vision, so as to be sure it was not the work of fancy. He was certain he did not dream, for the dark figure of a monk in the black friar's garb detached itself from the bright glare formed on the wall, and glided with noiseless tread towards his couch. For a moment the traveller's superstition got the better of him, his flesh crept, and his hair stood on end at the thought that this awful vision must be from below. The Ghost glided into a corner of the room, between the bed and the wall. Hawthorne, in turning, made a slight noise, when the figure turned on him, and stood as though shading a light which it held between its hands. Its jaws opened as its eyes rested upon the traveller, for one moment it delayed, then glided to the part from which it came, and vanished. "Heavens!" thought the Englishman, as he gradually recovered from his fright. "Have I truly gazed upon the guilty dead appearing again upon earth, or was this horrid visitor some emissary who precedes the appearance of a cowled assassin ?" The more he thought, the less could he understand of so strange a mystery. He deemed it prudent_not to sleep any more, and in spite of hunger, fatigue, and cold, he paced up and down the room until morning. The room was not opened until a late hour, when the monk who had served him while at supper, entered to inform him that a post-chase had deposited at the gate four gentlemen, who had come expressly to inquire if a traveller answering the description of Mr. Hawthorne had stopped at the Abbey that night. When Hawthorne met them in the strangers' apartment, what was his joy on discovering that one of the four was the British Consul. Fearful of some foul play, Mr. Hawthorne's brother had requested that official to accompany him and his friends, when they left Turin. Hawthorne determined at once to have the matter of the unearthly vision which had disturbed his slumbers probed to the bottom. The Consul declared that he would take a judicial account of all the evidence. The Abbot was summoned, at Mr. Hawthorne's request, and as the Consul represented that the presence of all the residents of the Institution would lead to a speedier solution of the mystery, the whole community was assembled in the Convent Refectory. The cir cumstances of the visit of either a ghost or an assassin, were repeated with nervous accuracy by Hawthorne, who was now roused to a high pitch of excitement and eager desire of revenge. When he had finished, the Abbot turned a searching look upon all the bystanders, and charged any one present who knew of this dreadful occurrence, to speak out, in virtue of holy obedience. The Prior of the Convent was the only one who spoke, though what he said gave little satisfaction; in fact, rather rendered the explanation more difficult. He remarked that there was a door which led to the room where Mr. Hawthorne had slept, from the corridor of the Infirmary. A silence ensued, when Hawthorne was observed to grow pale and stagger back. An old monk, who had a partial charge of the Infirmary, stepped slowly from the ranks of his brethren and walked towards the Abbot. Hawthorne had recognized at once the thin, pale features, upon which the nocturnal lamp had glared. The old man bared his silvery head, and bowed tremblingly at his superior's feet. A dead silence ensued as he began in a husky voice: "Most Reverend Father Abbot, I confess that I know something of this last night's occurrence. I myself was the cause of the Englishman's alarm. I know that Brother Francis is a young and giddy lad, and after beads, on my way to bed, I stepped into his room to see if Brother Francis had remembered to put water in the pitcher!! When I got up to the corner where the wash-stand is, I saw the Englishman turn around, and for fear of waking him up, I ran again out of the room.' Literary Intelligence. Wm. Oland Bourne, Esq., of this city, has nearly completed his history of the Public School System of New York. It will embrace a complete review of the important controversies with the Baptists, the Methodists, and the Roman Catholics in relation to the School Fund, and will be a valuable reference-book for the libraries of educationists, politicians, and controversialists of every class. Richard Grant White, for the last six years one of the editors of the New York Courier and Enquirer, has retired from that journal, and is projecting a new weekly paper, designed to combine as many of the attractive features of the London Spectator, Examiner, and Saturday Review as possible. Mr. White a refined and cultivated taste, considerable experience as a possesses journalist, and a general acquaintance with the topics of prominent concern He is withal a graceful and vigorous writer. There is a vacancy in the country for just such a paper as he is planning, and we trust the enterprise may prove successful. We understand that Mr. White is also preparing for the press a book on the history and functions of journalism in the United States, embodying, we presume, some of the results of his own experience.-Evening Post. among men. SNUFF BOX TO A POET.-The Empress Eugenie has presented a fine snuffbox to the Chevalier Prati, a Piedmontese writer, who has written her some verses, congratulating her on her late escape from assassination. A recent English Review says:-"For the few authors whose names are familiar to the world there are, as in every calling, myriads who are never heard of beyond their private circle. They have swarmed from the hour when printing and reading became cornmon; but as Pope and his contemporaries were the first to drag the tribe of underlings into public view, many circumstances are often assumed to have been peculiar to that time which had long been the standing condition of things. Swift, in his Hospital for incurables,' calculates that provision must be made for at least forty thou sand incurable scribblers,' and adds, with his usual savage satire, that, if there were not great reason to hope that many of that class would properly be admitted among the incurable fools, he should strenuously intercede to have the number increased by ten or twenty thousand more." The great Catalogue of the British Museum Library now in progress, has just received the important addition of two more letters, G and H,-the former consisting of 88, the latter of 37 folio volumes. The Athenæum says that at the present rate the public may hope in ten years to see the completion of the great catalogue in 2000 folio volumes! An English naturalist has published a Manual of Entomology in verse, after the peculiar style of Longfellow's Hiawatha. Here is the poet's description of a very unpoetical insect: Next in order the cockroaches, Head bent down beneath the thorax, Folding over both the hind wings; Their legs all alike and simple, POPE'S BEAUTIFUL ODE-The Athenæum, in a review of a new edition of Pope's Works, gives a minute history of his noted piece, "The Dying Christian to his Soul." It says: "Considering that this beautiful Ode has been for more than a century the admiration of every body,-a sort of inspired thing, struck off at a moment, in 1712,-it may be interesting to compare the copy sent to Caryll in June, 1713, with the "warm from the brain" copy, which is assumed to have been written in 1712, which was first published in 1736, and which has continued "warm from the brain" from that hour to the present.
