New Books.
We have received from Messrs. Drnker &
Morris two handsome volumes, being "Napoleon
and his Marshals," by ]. T. Headey. II is one
OF the most delightful books We have ever read.
The narrative of thrilling events, the setting up
and knocking down thrones, the sketches of
scenes worthy OF the chivalrous ages-all ap-
pear like a romantic story, rather than history
OF occurrences which have just gone by. Mr..
Heady has published some very interesting
"Letlers from Italy" and he has acquired some
what Of transatlantic reputation. This book
is elegantly gotten up, with fine portraits Of the
heroes Of the narrative, and is very popular
wherever j, has been read.
OlIendorif's New Method Of learning 10 read,
write and speak the French language. This au-
thor's German Grammar was very successful,
and we have no doubt The present book will be
equally so. The system seems simple and clear,
but no one can learn the true pronunciation OF
French, by far The most difficult attainment, with
out hearing it from the lips of a native.
