NEW BOOKS.

The Young Lady's Counsellor, or, Outlines
and Illustrations of the Sphere, the Duties, and
the Dangers Of Young Women.
The design of this volume is, "A guide to true
happiness in this life, and 10 glory in the life which
is to come" The editor, Rev DANIEL WISE, A. M,
abbey enforces the importance of female culture,
especially in this country, where our institutions
depend on the virtue of the people. He main
tains the doctrine that selEgoverned nation
must be both intelligent and religious; for if a
principal of moral restraint dwells not in the
breast of man, he cannot live peacefully in So
ciety without the Of some external restrain
ing force, and that society must sink into state
of anarchy, from which relentless despotsm will
be evolved unless il feels the moral force of the
sentiment of duty. 'The Young Lady a: Home,
is beautiful picture of domestic life.
Lights of the World,o BY the Rev. JOHN
STAUeHToN-In this volume there are illustrations
of character, drawn from the records of Christian
life. The method adopted has been to bring out
in each chapter some important element in vital
godlness, and thereby associating with it some
illustrious name in the annals of the modern
church, to afford proof and illustration of its
actual existence and eminent power. The ulti-
mate object of the author is "to stimulate to imi-
tation, and to lead the mind TO those evangelical
principles Of character, and that divine Of
abundant grace, by which alone true imitation can
be produced and maintained
Three Months Under the Snow; the Journa
OF Young Inhabitant of the Jura.

interesting narrative with religious instruction.

hall
Mg- We have received from Franck Taylor
agent for the publisher, very handsomely gotten
up volume of seventy pages, entitled New Methods
for Multiplication and Division, containing also
numerous useful tables. The author is Edward
Huxley, A. M. The theory Of the volume is orr
ginal and ingenious The most rapid way of getting
at results is certainly the best. The author lkens
his methods to the railway, the old methods to the
turnpike, or common road. To business men the
easiest and most rapid mode Of calculation, pro-
vded it be accurate, is certainly the most desra-
BILE. Mr.. Hinkley's method seems to combine all
three of these essentials
The Jew Of Verona.-We acknowledge with
pleasure the receipt from the publishers, John
Murphy 4 Co., of Baltimore, "The Jew Of
Verona an Historical Tale Of the Il allan Revolu-
tons Of 1S46-49, translated from the second re-
vised Italian edition." II consists Of two volumes
and contains in all about 800 pages. We have not
had time to read it, From hasty glance through
it, however, we are inclined to esteem it very
highly. The style is strong graceful, and often
eloquent. In the language Of the translator
While the Jew Of Verona possesses all the merits
Of truthful history, il combines all the beauties
of the most interesting romance" The volumes
are highly creditablo 10 the skill of the enterprisng
publishers.
