GRIMKE. CONSIDERATIONS UPON THE NATURE AND TEndency of FREE INSTITUTIONS. By Hon. FREDERICK GRIMKE. 8vo. Cloth.

It is written in a free, animated, and often very condensed and vigorous style. It was a bold attempt for any man to treat upon such a theme, so soon after the masterly effort of De Tocqueville, who seemed to have left little even for the gleaner where he had reaped. But Judge Grimke acted wisely in not being deterred by such a consideration, for his views strike us with the same feeling of freshness and originality as if the "Democracy in America" had not been written.

And while there is much in the extreme radicalism of many of the doctrines from which we entirely dissent, we can, nevertheless, do justice to the ability with which they are presented and enforced.-Western Law Journal.

It is a work full of thought, fair, tolerant, and based on much study; a series of sensible, deeply meditated essays, well worth reading.-North American Review.

HALL. LEGENDS OF THE WEST. Sketches Illustrative of the Habits, Occupations, Privations, Adventures, and Sports of the Pioneers of the West. By JAMES HALL, author of "The Wilderness and War Path," "Tales of the Border," etc. 12mo. Cloth. 2.00

HALL. ROMANCE OF WESTERN HISTORY; Or, Sketches of History, Life, and Manners in the West. By JAMES HALL. 12mo. Cloth. 2.00

Mr. Hall's tales are characterized by a certain amenity and ease of narrative, a poetic appreciation of the beauties of nature, and the gentler moods of the affections; while the author's pleasant narrative has softened the rudeness without abating the interest of the wild border strife. The Indian subjects are handled with peculiar delicacy; the kindly sentiment of the author dwelling on

their virtues, while his imagination is unkindled by their spiritual legends. His style, pure in sentiment and expression, may be aptly compared with the calm, tranquil aspect of his own Ohio river, occasionally darkened by wild bordering woods, but oftener reflecting the beauty of the azure heavens.-Duyckinck's American Literature.

of the Proprietors of Livery, Auction, and Sale Stables, Innkeepers, Veterinary Surgeons, and Farriers, Carriers, etc. Second edition, revised and enlarged. By M. D. HANOVER. 8vo. Law sheep.

4.00

In this work, the author has chiefly sought to investigate the principles which constitute the law of warranty in the sale of horses, and to present them in a clear and concise form.

Contracts, frauds, carriers, negligence, and other branches of the law have also been treated of, so far as they relate to horses and other live stock. The rule as to unsoundness and vice in horses, and the responsibility of innkeepers, livery-stable keepers, and others having the care of horses, have been carefully presented.

The aim of the author has been to afford assistance to the lawyer, and at the same time to enable the unprofessional reader to gain a general acquaintance with the law on the subject. He has also given full notes of the decisions of the American and English courts.

Such a work as this, in which the law re- derstand, has long been needed; and we belating to live stock is carefully collated and lieve this work will be generally sought arranged, and presented in a popular form after by all who deal in this description of which non-professional readers could un- property.-National Live Stock Journal.

There is scarcely any point as to which tive legends, the history of the conquest, the average or the cultivated reader might the history of independence, glimpses of desire to be informed, that the author has omitted in these graphic pages; the scenery, the cities and towns, the streets, the people, their domestic habits, their religion and politics, their divisions by caste and race, the natural products of the soil, the peculiar botany, the height of mountains, the statistics of earthquakes and eruptions, the na

The author is not only cognizant of his subject, but has it well in hand, knows especially what to select and what to reject, and withal is a capable observer and a trustworthy narrator.-The Nation.

HATCH. WAR OF 1812 IN THE NORTHWEST. A Chapter of the History of the War of 1812 in the Northwest. Embracing the Surrender of the Northwestern Army and Fort, at Detroit, August 16, 1813; with a Description and Biographical Sketch of the celebrated Indian Chief, Tecumseh. By Colonel WILLIAM STANLEY HATCH, Acting Assistant Quartermaster-General of that Army. 18mo. Sheep. 1 25

A new chapter of an old history. An old man's story, told while fighting his battles over again, concerning the operations of the Northwestern army. As the author was acting assistant quartermaster-general of the army, and in close communication with the various officers in command, his narrative possesses more than ordinary interest. Nearly one-half of this volume is occupied with an elaborate memoir of Tecumseh, evidently prepared with unusual

advantages for securing accuracy of information, and with great care; and this is not, in our estimation, the least important portion of the volume.-Historical Magazine.

This unpretending little volume is quite an interesting addition to the history of the events referred to. It deals mainly with the operations of General Hull, and his surrender, and gives additional facts in regard to the character and death of Tecumseh.N. E. Hist. and Gen. Register.

HAYES. THE LIFE, PUBLIC SERVICES, AND SELECT SPEECHES OF RUTHERFORD B. HAYES. By J. Q. HOWARD. Portrait. 12mo. Paper, 75c. Cloth,

Mr. J. Q. Howard's compact little volume is prepared with a good taste and moderation unusual in campaign documents, and it gives abundant materials for forming a fair estimate of the man for whom, probably, a little over half of a nation of forty millions will vote for its chief officer next November.-New York Tribune.

The volume is published especially with reference to the political campaign, but is, nevertheless, a correct biography, written in a spirit of entire fairness, and its selection from Governor Hayes' speeches are very judiciously chosen.-New York Post.

HAZEN. OUR BARREN LANDS. The Interior of the United States, west of the One-Hundredth Meridian, and east of the Sierra Nevada. By General W. B. HAZEN. This is one of the most interesting works concerning the topography, sterility, and climate of an immense tract in our western country that we have ever seen, and the author of it has earned the thanks of every honest man for having written it.. Informing the world that from the hundredth meridian line to the mountains, and from the British possessions to Mexico, the

country is a barren wilderness, utterly worthless for either agricultural or grazing purposes, because of its want of water, intense heat during summer, and intense cold during winter, and denouncing those who attempted to carry emigrants thither to meet certain dfsappointment and ruin.-Historical Magazine.
