Ngw PuBLicA Tho present

new books; Of course many Of tho con-
tribulions to Literature are igh. enough,
but nj the kanie time We have received
several hooks which arc admirable and
deserve no, only our comlnendation but
the careful perusal Of our friends. We
beg al earnest attention 10 several
which we will name AZ highly useful
and interesting.

volume which we think will carry the
palm ns II Gift book wo aIludo to rns
HOMES or AMERICAN AurHoRs. A more
exquisite volume has never appeared
from the American Press. The Engra-
wings are very merilorious who, when
he rcnis the orations OF MIR. Secretary
Everett, the poems o. Russel, the
charming stories Of Hawthorne, does
no, wish TO sec the homes Of these men,
and obtain All idea Of the scenes amid

low, Daniel Webster, Hawthorne, Ken
nedy and Lowell. We have never seen

this. The engravings are as We know
in many cases, most faithful representa-
lions of localities. and the Information
is full, satisfactory and elegant.
We commend this volume 10 general
circulation, and as the sale will be large
we advise our friends to purchase early
Impressions Oi the plates. The entire
execution OF this book is All honor 10 Tie
American press we are glad to see that
our Am, r'can authors have such homes
PUTNAM is gong on with his noble
sEMI-MoNrBLY LIBRARY OF original
works. We are greatly pleased with
TABLE TALK; it is worth while for any
person to sit down 10 this capital little
book. A second volume OF WALKS AND
TALKS Of an AMERICAN FARMER in Eng
land is very interesting. Let all our
farmers in Rhode Island get it.
APPLETON have just published
KNlcK KNAcKs. by Louis Gdyi rd
Clark. This Is a collection of fun and
Wit and beauty from the pages Of the
Knickerbocker. Perhaps it will no,
make the reader laugh; This volume
is we'll illustrated.
CORNISH, LAMPooRT & Co. have pub.
lished n volume which in poInt o. ropu-
lsrlty is the book Of the season ; We al
lnde TO the NAroLEoN DYNASTY, a fine
octave, with "a capital portraits of the
BonaparIe family. This is very read
able book, and contains the best biogra-
phy Of the members Of the Imperial tam
lily that has yet appeared our readers
may fancy how interesting this volume
is, when We state that tan thousand cop
les are already in circulation. The
work is by Mr.. G. f. Lester, and is
written in a fine style, and is by far the
best work ofi,s author. AT the present
moment the hook is very interesting,
and our readers will find the amp!cst N
formation respecting the new Emperor
Napoleon 3rd. The getting up Of the
volume 10 very fine and reflects credit
upon the respectable house from which
II is issued.
CARTsRs, OF Ne. York, never publish
any thing that is moi valuable we ear
neatly commend our friends TO the me
nioiys of Robert 4 James A. Hdhiane-
These gentlemen we're men Of fortune
who devoted lite and riches 20 the inter-
ssis Of religion. The efforts Of Robert
Haldane effected the conversion Of D.
Aubigney, the historian Of the Reforma-
ton. This book will be highly priced
by all who are fond OF pious biography,
and we can safely say that it will be
found very interesting and iulI oi Incl
dent.
