THE WORLDS PROGRESS A Dictionary of Dates
Edited by 6. P. PUTNAM. l2mo. PIP. 692 G. ?. Put
A more convenient literary labor-saying ma
chine than this excellent compilation, can scarcely
be found in any language. 1t is intended TO obvi-
ate the necessity of consulting nnumerable works
Of reference, by condensing into one portable vol
ume the most important facts in the history OF
Political and Social Affairs, Literature and Art.
The value of such work must OF course depend
IN the authenticity OF the materials made use Of
ltB COnBtruCtlOu, hnu inc FlBilHHCe, 6CCufdCyj
and good judgment employed In their arrange
ment AS far as we can Judge from a cursory
animation, both of these conditions have been
complied with, to an eminent degree, by the indie
fatigable editor. The first part of the work
sists of tabular views Of universal history, ar
ranged in contemporary columns, under appropr
ate heads, taken principally from o former cbro.
biological manual by Mr.. PUTNAM, with important
additions from TALBoY's Oxford Chronological
Tables. rapid glance at these tables enables
She reader to ascertain the leading dates in histo
~, and to arrange its principal events with due
reference to each other. The second part Of the
volume contains a oopioas Dictionary of Dates
based on the comprehensive and valuable work
OF Joseph Haydn, with such original matter re.
lQng to the United States as was necessary to
completeness, the whole being brought down to
The present yoar This is followed by Literary
Chronology, giving The names of the most distin-
suished authors with brief Indication of the
character Of their writings, whether imaginative,
historical or scientific. The volume closes with
q catalogue of the Heather Deities, and very
complete biographical index, Every part of this
Dictionary exhibits marks OF extensive and care
flu! research; the facts are stated with great
breyty; no supcrfuous words are employed and
with }his exemplary economy OF material, vast
amount of information is crowded into the small
est possible compass. We think no one who
consults this work for practical use will be dis
appointed, and that it will be found indspen
sable to the intelligent man of business as well
as professional readers.
"a WINrHR IN MADEIRA, AND a SUN.
uER IN SPAIN AND FLORENCE, is the title of an
agreeable book of travels understood to be from
the pen of Hon. John A, DIX. Although the ma
terials of the volume derived from tour made
over seven years ago, they have lost none of their
freshness or interest, with the lapse of time. AS
the author remarks, THE Madeira of l943 is the
Madeira Of 1a50. The changes in New. York in
single year, are greater than those in Madeira in
hall g century" Whoever wishes to gain an
pie and reliable fund of information with regard to
this island, can scarcely find more trustworthy
guide than the present volume. 1t is written with
great cearRess and spirit, and has the merit of be-
ing entirely free from the spasmodc efforts after
brilliancy and point, which seem to be second
nature with many recent travellers. The author
records his Impressions in plain, common'scnse
manner, presenting variety OF effective pictures
whiohmay be examined without dazzling the eyes
Of the spectator. (l2mo. PIP. a77. William Hol

Ia "THE AMERICAN HOUSE, CARPENTER
by h, G. HATFIELD fourth edition, is intended
for practical carpenters, masters, jouneymen,
and apprentices. The materials have been drawn
from the best sources, and used with excellent
Judgment and effect by the author. His work
seems to be eminently adapted to the wants of
the operative mechanic, It's value having been
tested by the fact of four editions within few
years lsyo. PIP. 272. John Wiey.l
