NEW PUBLICATIONS.
We are again called on to make Acknowledgements
to Mr. Frsnck Taylor bookseller OF this city and to
the publishers, for sundry new works, as follows;
No. Al Of Harpers' Illuminated and New Pcto-
rial Bible, which commences the New Testament.
This beautiful edition of the Holy Scriptures Is
destined to have a very happy effect on the minds
Of ''young America"-on the rising generation.
Few children will be found willing TO lay aside a
book with its every passage so appropriately illus
traed, until it is thoroughly read and understood
Il will not be long every father Of family who
afford IT, will see the propriety Of furnishing his
children with these means and inducements 70 be-
come well read in the book of all books for an
American.
Also, No. S (for November, Isl5) Of the
Farmers Library and Monthly Journal Of Agrcul-
lure, edited by John s. Skinner, and Published by
Greeley & McEiratb, Tribune Buildings, New
York city, Of which we have heretofore had occa-
sion to write in terms of strong commentator.
The present number is worthy Of Its place in the
series. The article on Systems Of Cultivation, i
reflected on by the practical farmer, will he worth
much more to him than the price Of years sub
scription-$5.
Also, a second copy of the new work on the
electro. magnetic telegraph, by Mr.. Alfred Vail,
assistant superintendent Of the telegraph for the
United States. Published in Philadelphia, by Len
& Blanchard.
Also, the first and second numbers Of Morse's
Geographic Maps, New York, published by. Har.
per and Brothers. We know of no publication Of
the day destined either to be more widely circulated,
or 10 be OF more genuine service to the community
at large than this The two numbers before iis end
brace maps lin size, Is by u inchesl Of the Indian
territory, Northern Texas, New Mexico Wis
consin, Michigan, Arkansas, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa--all OF which are
sold for so cents, Is cents per No.. which is not
more than one-fourth the usual price of similar
engravings They are prepared with great care,
and they most infinitely accurate. The county
lines of each State and Territory, and the range and
section lines (according to the General Land Ofee
plats) of the public domain, laid down from the
latest data. This work is not more useful
school atlas, than for the daily reference Of every
man who has occasion to consult a map or ask ge-
ographical question. To the conductor ola news
paper press, il will be invaluable. The publishers
state that il is to ''embrace the whole field of
cient and modern, including sacred geography,
chronology and history"
We have likewise received Nos. 60 and 10 of
Harpers' beautiful Illuminated and illustrated
Shakespeare.
And No. 2, new series, of the American Journal
Of the Medical Sciences, edited by Isaac Hays, M.
D., surgeon to Willis Hospital, physician to the
Philadelphia Orphan Asylum, &c Philadelphia,
published by Lea and Blanchard. We are Of course
unable write critically of the contents Of this pro-
fessional work. In the manner in which il is got
up however, is inferior TO periodical published
in America. If an extensive circulation and con-
reference TO its pages by gentlemen Of the med
ical proession be any guarantee of the character Of
its contents, il certainly is fully equal to any other
American medical journal.
We are indebted to the publishers for the Noven-
Der number Of Hunts valuable Merchants Maya
zine, for which Mr.. Franck Taylor, bookseller, is
agent. This number was the subject Of our New
York correspondents letter, published on Monday
evening last.
Mr.. N. Callan, agent, has sent us the November
number of the United States Catholic Magazine,
edited by the Rev. Charles |. White and the very
rev. M. J. Spalding, ID. d. This is one of the
ablest religious periodicals Of the day and is obtain
ing, il deserves, widespread circulation among
our Catholic feow-citizens.
Mr. VIM. McFarlane, of Richmond, Va, the
publisher, and Mr.. Franck Taylor, the agent for
this city, have our thanks for the November num-
Der Of the Southern Literary Messenger which, MS
usual, contains many very able and entertaining
ticles. The seconds Dissertation on the Maritime
interests Of the South and VESTS marked with
great originality Of thought, power of reasoning,
and statistical requirement. Many Of its most inn
portant positions irrefagabe. They all deserve
and will in time command, not only the profound
attention of the South and West, but Of the states
men and commercial men Of the whole country,
who well know that the true power of the United
States lies in their agricultural resources.
Messrs Taylor, Wilde, & Co, periodical book
Sellers at MOB Elliots buildings, pennsyvania av-
enue, have US the fifth part Of 'Dashes at Life,
with Free Pencil" by N. P. Willis: New York,
published by A. Redfeld, Clinton Hall. This book
is republication Of portion Of the authors
paper editorials; of which are among his best
efforts at nonsense, while others trashy enough
in all conscience Yet it is glorious book for q
rainy day, for fit of the blues, to which it must
prove sovereign antdote, il the reader 10 blessed
with but drop of the milk of human Kindness in
his composition.
