Woodcuts, by GEORGE BARNARD. New and enlarged edition. 1 vol. royal 8vo.
Cloth extra, richly gilt sides and edges.
$6.00
The illustrations to this beautiful work are executed in the new process of chromatic
printing, and form perfect facsimiles of the original drawings, including complete pro-
gressive series of examples, &c. As a work of ornamental art, independent of its

THE ANNALS OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE, by CHRISTOPHER ANDER-
SON. 1525-1844. 2 vols. 8vo. With fine Portrait of Tyndal, Facsimiles, Index, &c.
William Pickering, London, 1845. Cloth, gilt
$7.50
This important work (one of the most intrinsically valuable and beautifully executed
books published by the late Mr. Pickering) has long been considered "out of print,"
and copies are daily becoming more valuable. A few have lately been discovered in
the publisher's warehouse, and are offered at the above price. The work was drawn
from "authentic and unpublished manuscripts, the original authorities in succession,
and the editions of the Scriptures themselves," and throws a flood of light over the
obscure history of the early editions and translators of the English Bible. 278 editions
are described previous to the appearance of the present (King James's) version in

1611.

THIS SERIES OF ARITHMETICS AND HIGHER MATHEMATICS are in more extensive and general use throughout every State of the Union, than any other. It has been recommended by the Superintendents of Public Instruction of very many States, and by a large number of Teachers' Institutes and Associations, and is the Standard TextBook in the New York State Normal School at Albany, and many other of the best Normal Schools in the country.

From Professor DAVID N. CAMP, Principal of the Connecticut State Normal School, and
Superintendent of Common Schools.
Office of the Superintendent of Common Schools, Connecticut
New Britain, June 12th, 1858.

[blocks in formation]

Contains engravings of the Boston School sets of apparatus; a description of the instru ments, and an account of many experiments which can be performed by means of the apparatus. This work is believed to be the best arranged, the finest illustrated, and the most complete school work on the subject. It contains all the latest discoveries and improvements in the science, and being prepared by an experienced practical teacher, is especially adapted to Grammar and High Schools. It is a standard text-book in the Free Academy and Public Schools of New York, and the Public Schools of Brooklyn, Albany, Philadelphia, Detroit, and generally throughout the Union.

From Professor JOHN A. NICHOLS of the Free Academy, New York.

The revised edition of "Parker's School Compendium of Natural and Experimental Philosophy" is, in my judgment, a very instructive and interesting work. Besides the statement and elucidation of the properties and laws of matter, and the general principles of physical sciences, I am pleased to find such appropriate illustrations of those principles as are contained in the clear descriptions and explanations of many important inventions and their modes of operation.

PORTER'S SCHOOL CHEMISTRY. Price, $1. By JOHN A. PORTER, A. M., M. D., Professor of Agricultural and Organic Chemistry in Yale College.

This work has been prepared with reference to the wants of Public Schools, where an extensive and expensive apparatus could not be afforded. In a plain, concise, and simple manner, it presents all the desirable facts and phenomena of the science, and renders them familiar by ample illustrations and experiments which any one can readily perform, and with materials and apparatus within the reach of all. The work has met with great success, and is already in extensive use.

Boxes containing the materials necessary to perform all the experiments de scribed in this work can be obtained for $8 by addressing the publishers.

From the Massachusetts Teacher,

We have read this book with great pleasure, and can recommend it as the simplest, most concise, and most comprehensive School Chemistry known to us, Its simplicity is its great merit. It disembarrasses the science of details unsuitable for beginners, states principles plainly and clearly, and by its admirable conciseness is enabled to embrace in a eingle volume a complete outline of the great modern science, in its organic and inorganic departments. The book, of course, cannot supersede the study of more elaborate treatises, but it forms an excellent introduction to them.

Extract from the Introductory Letter.

It is, unquestionably, a matter of profound regret, that so large a proportion of contracts respecting estates, should need litigation. It is equally to be regretted that, however desirous the man of property may be to understand the effect of his daily contracts, there is no source to which he can apply for the desired information. You ask me to remove the cause of your complaint, and, in particular, to point out the precautions to which you should attend in selling, buying, mortgaging, leasing, settling and devising estates. You express, besides, a desire to know something, in a popular way, of the nature of the different interests in property, and of the mutual rights of yourself, and your wife, and your power over your children, which would lead me to introduce the new law of divorce to your notice. You further ask me to give you some general hints as to your conduct in the character of a trustee or executor, which may keep you from harm. In short, you want, in the form of familiar letters, what is now so much in vogue, a work upon an interesting subject calculated "for the million," whom I should be happy to assist; such a work, while it imparts a knowledge, may, perchance, beguile a few hours.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF HUGH MILLER.

MY SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLMASTERS; or, The Story of My Education. By HUGH MILLER, author of "Old Red Sandstone,' "Footprints of the Creator," My First Impressions of England," &c. 12mo. Cloth. $1 25.

"This autobiography is quite worthy of the renowned author. His first attempts at literature, and his career until he stood forth an acknowledged power among the philos ophers and ecclesiastical leaders of his native land, are given without egotism, with a power and vivacity which are equally truthful and delightsome."-Presbyterian.

This volume is a book for the ten thousand. It is embellished with an admirable likeness of Hugh Miller, the stonemason-his coat off and his sleeves rolled up with the implements of labor in hand-his form erect, and his eye bright and piercing."-Phila.

Christian Observer.

"It is a portion of biography exquisitely told. He is a living proof that a single man may contain within himself something more than all the books in the world, some unuttered word, if he will look within and read. This is one of the best books we have had of late, and must have a hearty welcome and a large circulation in America."-London Corres. N. Y. Tribune.

"It is a work of rare interest: at times having the fascination of a romance, and again suggesting the profoundest views of education and of science. The ex-mason holds a graphic pen; a quiet humor runs through his pages; he tells a story well, and some of his pictures of home-life might also be classed with Wilson's."-N. Y. Independent.

"This autobiography is THE book for poor boys, and others who are struggling with poverty and limited advantages; and perhaps it is not too much to predict that in a few years it will become one of the poor man's classics, filling a space on his scanty shelf next to the Autobiography of Franklin."-New England Farmer.

LITTLE, BROWN & CO.,

112 WASHINGTON ST., BOSTON, In Twelve Volumes. Post Octavo. The labors of Mr. White in the wide field of Shakesperian research and criticism, are every where known and appreciated by the students and lovers of the Great Dramatist, The recent publication of his "Shakespeare's the author during several years of careful Scholar," which presented views taken by 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 annotations, explanations, and attempted purity, relieved of the mass of superduous 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 mani festly corrupt or defective. II. The resto. ration of many passages from the original text, which the editor shows to have been carelessly assumed to be corrupt in preced ing 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 tion, which in numberless instances affect the rhythm, and in many the sense of the text. VIII. The crediting of every emenda. tion, 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.

and

This edition will be accompanied by a re duced 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; by views in Stratford on Avon, some of which have been taken specially to illustrate the Memoir of the Poet-which, with an Essay upon his Genius, a compact but comprehensive History of the Text, and an ac count 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 Comedies, will be ready in a few weeks, the Histo ries 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 $1 25 per volume, bound in cloth; payable on delivery.

Autobiography & Lectures

OF

LOLA MONTEZ

A handsome 12mo. volume, elegantly bound in muslin, with a superb Steel Portrait by Rogers. Price, $1.

CONTENTS:-Autobiography, Part I.

Autobiography, Part II.

Beautiful Women.

Gallantry.

Heroines of History.

Comic Aspect of Love.

Wits and Women of Paris.
Romanism.

This unique and interesting book consists of a series of lectures delivered by Madame Lola Montez during last Winter, before the largest and most select audiences which any lecturer in the country has been able to command.

The lectures abound in the most spicy anecdotes and piquant reminiscences, while they show an acuteness of perception and an amount of careful reflection and research which are truly surprising. Those who had the pleasure of hearing them delivered represent the effect they produced as being indescribable, an effect all the more striking from the highly moral tone which runs all through them and adds to their beauty without detracting from their brilliance and art. With such attractions the Autobiography and Lectures of Lola Montez may justly be called one of the most original and remarkable productions ever issued from the American press.

Booksellers who desire this volume, are earnestly requested to order at once in advance of publication, as the demand for it when issued, will probably more than exhaust the first edition, and retailers may in many instances lose a sale from inability to supply themselves with the work.

N. B.-By ordering in quantities directly from the publishers, larger discounts may be obtained, and editors' copies will be sent with first lots

Positively no books sent on sale.

This book will be sent by mail, postage paid, to any part of the United States, on receipt of the price, $1.

CROOKS & SCHEM'S

Latin-English School Lexicon

ON THE BASIS OF THE LATIN-GERMAN LEXICON OF DR. C. F. INGERSLEV.

By G. R. CROOKS, D.D., &. A. J. SCHEM, A.M.

ONE VOLUME. ROYAL OCTAVO. PRICE THREE DOLLARS. The authors of the present work had at first the intention of preparing for American schools and colleges, a Translation of the excellent Latin-German School Lexicon of Professor Ingerslev. The plan of the work seemed to them to be a decided improvement in Latin lexicography, and to meet more fully than its predecessors the wants of students They had not proceeded far, however, in their labors, before they became aware of the necessity of recasting many of the articles, and of adding new ones. They decided therefore to prepare an entirely independent work, using the Lexicon of Ingerslev only as a basis. For this purpose the whole of lexical literature has been carefully examinedespecially the recent works of Dr. W. Smith, Georges (the last edition of 1855), Koch and Klotz,-from all of which numerous suggestions have been derived and additions made.

The School-Lexicon of Prof. Ingerslev, has met, in Germany, with extraordinary success, as appears from the encomiums of eminent German scholars. The praises of the critics are especially bestowed upon the excellence of Ingerslev's plan. We have taken great pains to preserve for our work all of the characteristic features of this plan, and at the same time to improve it in the execution of details.

This work gives,—

1, SPECIAL ATTENTION to the words of Latin authors read in colleges and schools.

2. The LEADING DEFINITIONS in broad, clear type, so as to be easily caught by the eye.

3. The SIGNIFICATION perspicuously arranged and illustrated by examples easily understood, or if difficult, carefully translated.

4. The ORIGIN of each word, where it is known.

5. A COMPARISON of important words with their synonyms.

6. BRIEF NOTICES of proper names, and of the adjectives derived from them.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

INGERSLEV'S LATIN-GERMAN LEXICON.

From DR. ECKSTEIN, Halle, Prussia,

I have found, from a careful use of it, that it fully answers its aim, which is to meet the necessities of students, and that it commends itself, above other works of the kind, by a circumspect selection of materials, a skilful arrangement and development of significations, and a clear and well-considered treatment of synonyms. It will give me pleasure to contribute to its circulation.

From DR. ELLENDT, Eisleben, Prussia.

The Lexicon of Ingerslev is so advantageously distinguished by its judicious selection of words, and its brief and accurate treatment of them, that it can be recommended, with confidence, to all learned institutions.

From DR. HOEGG, Director of the Gymnasium of Arnsberg, Prussia.

I shall recommend the Lexicon of Ingerslev, with great pleasure, to our students. As far as I have been able to examine several articles, which are of particular importance in a school-lexicon, it meets, in its plan and execution, the demands of the school in an entirely satisfactory manner.

From DR. MUMSEN, Director of the Joakim Gymnasium in Berlin

After a careful examination of the Lexicon of Ingerslev, I do not hesitate to say, that in the suitableness of its plan, the copiousness and excellent arrangement of its materials, and the precision of its conception, it excels all other works of the kind.

CROOKS AND SCHEM'S LATIN-ENGLISH LEXICON.

From the Rev. Dr. JOHN MCCLINTOCK, New York.

I am acquainted with Ingerslev's Latin Lexicon, and believe it to be the best of the many school lexicons now extant in Germany. Indeed, this is the testimony of many of the best gymnasial teachers, as well as of many eminent scholars.

Whatever commendation may be given to Ingersley is still more amply due to Crooks and Schem's Lexicon. I have examined a portion of the proof-sheets, and have had the opportunity of personally knowing how carefully and conscientiously the authors have carried on the work throughout. Their book retains Ingerslev's perspicuous arrangement; but in point of etymological matter, of attention to proper names, of discrimination in the general use of the material, and of adaptation to the wants of students, it is far in advance of its German prototype. The work ought to find its way at once into all our classical schools, and into the lower college classes.

From Prof. H. M. JOHNSON, Dickinson College.

The authors of this work have laid under contribution the products of the most recent and scientific labors in the department of Latin lexicography; and their own well-merited reputation for ripe scholarship gives assurance, that nothing will be wanting to give it completeness and adaptation to the wants of the student.

From Rev. GEO. LOOMIS, late President of the Wesleyan Female College, Wilmington, Del. I have no hesitancy in expressing an opinion, that, as a standard of pure Latinity, it is superior to any school lexicon now in use
