Elements of Moral Philosophy:

Analytical, Synthetical, and Practical. By HUBBARD WINSLOW. 12mo, 480 pages.

This work is an original and thorough examination of the fundamentul laws of Moral Science, and of their relations to Christianity and to practical life. It has already taken a firm stand among our highest works of literature and science. From the numerous commendations of it by our most learned and competent men, we have room for only the following brief extracts:

From REV. THOMAS H. SKINNER, D.D., of the Union Theol. Sem. N. Y. "It is a work of uncommon merit, on a subject very difficult to be treated well His analysis is complete. He has shunned no question which his purpose required hin to answer, and he has met no adversary which he has not overcome.'

From REV. L. P. HICKOK, Vice-President of Union College.

"I deem the book well adapted to the ends proposed in the preface. The style is clear, the thoughts perspicuous. I think it calculated to do good, to promote the truth, to diffuse light, and impart instruction to the community, in a department of study of the deepest interest to mankind."

From REV. JAMES WALKER, D.D., President of Harvard University. "Having carefully examined the more critical parts, to which my attention has been especially directed, I am free to express my conviction of the great clearness, discrimination, and accuracy of the work, and of its admirable adaptation to its object."

From REV. RAY PALMER, D.D., of Albany.

"I have examined this work with great pleasure, and do not hesitate to say that in my judgment it is greatly superior to any treatise I have seen, in all the essential requisites of a good text-book."

From PROF. ROSSEAU D. HгrcнсосK, D.D., of the Union Theol. Sem. N. Y. "The task of mediating between science and the popular mind, is one that requires a peculiar gift of perspicuity, both in thought and style; and this, I think, the author possesses in an eminent degree. I am pleased with its comprehensiveness, its plainness, ud its fidelity to the Christian stand-point."

From PROF. HENRY B. SMITH, D.D., of the Union Theol. Sem. N. Y.

"It commends itself by its clear arrangement of the topics, its perspicuity of language, and its constant practical bearings. I am particularly pleased with its views of conscience. Its frequent and pertinent illustrations, and the Scriptural character of its explanations of the particular duties, will make the work both attractive and valuable as a text book, in imparting instruction upon this vital part of philosophy."

From W. D. WILSON, D.D., Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy in

Hobart Free College.

"I have examined the work with care, and have adopted it as a text-book in the etudy of Moral Science. I consider it not only sound in doctrine, but clear and system. stic in method, and withal pervaded with a prevailing healthy tone of sentiraent, which cannot fail to leave behind, in addition to the truths it inculcates, an impression In favor of those truths. I esteem this one of the greatest merits of the book. In thi respect it has no equal, so far as I know; and I do not hesitate to speak of it as being preferable to any other work yet published, for use in all institutions whore Moral Philosophy forms a department in the course of instruction.”

A History of Philosophy:

An Epitome. By Dr. ALBERT SCHWEGLER. Translated from the origi nal German, by JULIUS H. SEELYE. 12mo, 365 pages.

This translation is designed to supply a want long felt by both teachers and students in our American colleges. We have valuable histories of Philosophy in English, but no manual on this subject so clear, concise, and comprehensive as the one now presented. Schwegler's work bears the marks of great learning, and is evidently written by one who has not only studied the original sources for such a history, but has thought out for him. self the systems of which he treats. He has thus seized upon the real germ of each system, and traced its process of development with great clearness and accuracy. The whole history of speculation, from Thales to the present time, is presented in its consecutive order. This rich and important field of study, hitherto so greatly neglected, will, it is hoped, receive a new impulse among American students through Mr. Seelye's translation. It is a oook, moreover, invaluable for reference, and should be in the possession of every public and private library.

From L. P. HICKOK, Vice-President of Union College.

"I have had opportunity to hear a large part of Mr. Seelye's translation of Schweg. ler's History of Philosophy read from manuscript, and I do not hesitate to say that it is a faithful, clear, and remarkably precise English rendering of this invaluable Epitome of the History of Philosophy. It is exceedingly desirable that it should be given to American students of philosophy in the English language, and I have no expectation of its more favorable and successful accomplishment than in this present attempt. I should immediately introduce it as a text-book in the graduate's department under my own instruction, if it be favorably published, and cannot doubt that other teachers will rejoice to avail themselves of the like assistance from it."

From HENRY B. SMITH, Professor of Christian Theology, Union Theological Seminary, N. Y.

"It will well reward diligent study, and is one of the best works for a text-book in our colleges upon this neglected branch of scientific investigation."

From N. PORTER, Professor of Intellectual Philosophy in Yale College. "It is the only book translated from the German which professes to give an account of the recent German systems which seems adapted to give any intelligible information on the subject to a novice."

From GEO. P. FISHER, Professor of Divinity in Yale College.

"It is really the best Epitome of the History of Philosophy now accessible to the English student."

From JOSEPH HAVEN, Professor of Mental Philosophy in Amherst College. “As a manual and brief summary of the whole range of speculative inquiry, I know of no work which stikes me more favorably."

Course of Ancient Geography:

Arranged with Special Reference to Convenience of Recitation. By Prof. H. I. SCHMIDT, D.D., of Columbia College. 12mo, 828 pages.

The object of this work is to facilitate study. With nothing new to tech in the department of Ancient Geography, there is much necessity of breaking up the great masses of knowledge accumulated on the subject by classical scholars, and rendering the subject itself, its general features, and principal parts, more easily accessible to the student. Nothing is introduced into the book but what the student in reading is constantly required to know. The best authorities have been consulted, carefully compared, and freely used throughout. No pains have been spared to render the work as correct as our knowledge of the ancient world will permit. The volume opens with a short account of the Geography known to the ancients at different periods, and of the gradual extension of their knowledge. Then the author begins with the Ancient Geography of Europe-Greece is described in ample detail, and Italy in the same manner. Then follows all that is known of Asia Minor. This constitutes what may be termed Classical Geography-that portion of Ancient Geography which the student most coustantly needs in the study of classical authors. To present this properly is the main design of the work.

After this the author returns to Europe-again to Asia-and lastly, treats the Ancient Geography of Africa. This order seemed the most natural in a work of the kind, as it is based upon the relative importance, in classical authors, of those countries; the author also took upon this point the advice of a number of distinguished instructors.

All the matter presented is broken up into short paragraphs, and these are numbered; and questions which refer to the facts given in these paragraphs, and marked respectively with the corresponding numbers, are given in the lower margin. This at once assists the pupil and the teacher.

In this work every material division of the ancient world is noted, and the name of every sea, lake, river, or town is given; in many instances, the derivation and etymology of the names are added. The book is sufficiently full for every practical purpose, not only of the school-room, but for refer cnce in general reading of ancient authors. It has a copious Index that much enhances its value in this respect.

From the Recorder.

This very satisfactory work makes a valuable addition to the library of the Jassical student, and also to the series of text-books to be used during the course of mical and collegiate study."

Historical and Miscellaneous Questions.

From the Eighty-Fourth London Edition. With large additions: Em bracing the Elements of Mythology, Astronomy, Architecture Heraldry, etc., adapted for Schools in the United States, by Mr JULIA LAWRENCE. Embellished with Numerous Engravings of Wood. Fourth American Edition, Revised and Corrected, with Chapter on the American Constitution by RICHMAL MANGNALL 12mo, 396 pages.

Mangnall's Questions has attained an enviable reputation on both sides of the Atlan tic as a condensed abstract of history, art, science, and general information. It is in tho form of question and answer, and is adapted to the higher classes in common schoolt and academies. The variety of subjects embraced, the difficulty of obtaining suitable text-books relating to many of them, much more of finding any single work that con tains them all, and the judgment displayed by the author in selecting what is important and presenting great facts and leading principles in a striking manner that impresser them on the mind, have gained for this work an extensive and well-deserved circula tion. A careful revision and the introduction of much that is important to the American student, enhance the value of the present edition. An idea may be formed of the extensive and important ground it covers from the following table of

The Child's First History of Rome.

By MISS E. M. SEWELL. 18mo, 255 pages.

In the preparation of this work for the use of children, the authoress has drawr her material from the most reliable sources, and incorporated them into a narrative at once unos entatious, perspicuous, and graphic, aiming to be understood by those for whom she writes, and to impress deeply and permanently on their minds the facts successively presented. The entire work is clothed in a style at once pleasing and intelligible to the juvenilo mind; and the introduction of interesting episodes tends to rivet the atten tion and relieve the difficulty of memorizing dry details.

Small as this volume is, it covers the whole ground, from the founding of the city to its destruction by the Northern barbarians. A condensed sketch of the manners and mode of life of the ancient Romans is appended; as, also, are Questions, for the convenience of those who desire them.

A First History of Greece.

By MISS E. M. SEWELL. 18mo, 358 pages.

This work is designed to give the young a clearer idea of Grecian History than is to be obtained from any of the numerous works on the subject that have been accumulating during the present century. By culling out prominent characters and events, presenting them in a striking light, and not making their perusal irksome by a mass of minor details, the authoress has rendered an important service to the youth of our country. With the view of removing the difficulty often encountered in the study of Grecian History, in consequence of its involving events connected with numerous places, the names of which are new and the position of which is unknown, a list of the Grecian States and their chief cities is presented in a preliminary chapter. A Caronological Table of the contemporary events of Grecian and Jewish History is appended, which will be of use to the Bible student as well as the general reader. Few books will be found more acceptable in the school. room than this.
