~ "LIFE's d. cIPLINE' is the title of a
new work of fiction by TALyI. The scene is laid
in the early history of Hungary, and displays
familiar acquaintance with the traditions and Gus
toms Of that remarkable nation in purity and
force of expression, and in vivid deliniation of
character, Mrs. ROBINSON, whose well known
pseudonym affords no disguised il surpassed by
few popular novelists while her stories are
founded on deeper basis Of reflection, than is
often exhibited in works addressed to the imagi
nation. The present volume, which deals in COM
plicated relations of passion, is an admirable spe
cimen of the combination Of history and inyen'
ton, and will find a numerous class Of apprecat
ing readers. Q2mo. PIP ILL., D. Appleton x CO..
~ THE SHORTER CATEcHIsM ILLUSTRATED,
by JOHN TODD, D. D. Vol IL, is a unique work,
eyincing no ordinary power Of invention, and an
unrivaled fertility of Illustration. Its design is
to present the doctrines of the venerable Cate
chism, in garb so pleasing to the young that
they would press it warm upon the memory aud
the heart" This is attempted by series Of
lively stories, which, if they do not entirely &C
complish the object aimed at by the author, GER
tainly exhibit the mysteries treated of in form
of unaccustomed sweetness. Northampton

~ "MIssIssIPPI SCENES" by JOSEPH B.
CoBB, consists of series of lively sketches illus
trative of SoEihern life aud adventure. The style
is rapid and careless, but possesses considerable
graphic force. With strong infusion Of Southern
feeling, the volume presents frequent rose coOred
pictures Of the peculiar domestic institutions Of
the South, though they are by no means adapted
to soften the aversion with which Slavery must
be regarded by those who have not been Injured
to its presence by education and long habit

Il Glands OF THE MosLEM," by Ell MUKAr.
TEN, is q substantial, grave, and matter-ofiact
narrative of travels in the East, comprising tour
in Egypt and Palestine. 1t appears to have been
written from notes taken on the spot, and bears
strong internal marks of authenticity. As lit
eral description of Oriental geography, manners
and scenery it forms a welcome addition 70 the
numerous recent works on that subject. l5vo.
