ing works:
" Chestnut Wood by Liele Linton A Tale,
in two volumes New York: D. Appleton
Co." The work is very well printed, and an
| outside view would lead us to consider it worthy
of perusal What opinion perusal might pro-
duce, we are unable to say
g Notes of a Theological Student; by James
Mason Hoppin. New York: D. Appleton 8 Go. =
We are unable to endorse these notes of Mr.. Hop
pin, simply because we have been unable to
read them. They seem to have been written
chiefly in Germany. Prussia and Turkey.
katharine Ashton, in two Volumes New
York D. Appleton & CO. This new novel was
| written by the author of ssAmy Herbert .
! g Margaret Perciva1,' and number of other
tales, and is said to be quite interesting
'sNewport Illustrated; by the Editor of the
Newport Mercury. New York: D. Appleton s
Co." This little brochure is elegantly and
handsomely gotten up, and contains all the in
formation important to BIO given on the subject
of which it treats. 1t makes rather late ap-
pearance here for the present summers use, but
will doubtless live until another season.
.sNowA-Days. 7. L. Magagnos, Ne-. york !,
This long announced and muoh oe-puffsd pub
location has finally ree.ssned here and proves to
DO novelette, descriptive Of life in Maine. It's
authSsfess is anonymous, and, therefore, sus-
picious but some Of its chapters are very well
penned, quite readable and interesting. We are
indebted to Mr.. T. L. White, of Canal street for
it and the ensuing publications.
Fifteen Minutes Around New York, by G..
G. Foster. New York: Dewitt & Dayen-
port" The ephemeral literature of the day has
had no more spicy and readable contribution
than this. Its sketches are life-like, original
and very entertaining.
:" Martin Merrivale-his mark-Nos. Z. s. q.
10. Boston: Phillips, Sampson & co.. con-
tinuation Of those numbers of the same work
which we have repeatedly noticed before, and
with well sustained ability.
We are also under obligations to the Hon Mr.
Perkins for copy of the speech made by Hon.
John Slidell in the United States Senate, on the
first Of May, upon the Suspension Of the Neu
tralty Laws
We are indebted to B. H. Norman for a COPY
OF M. NJ Ballou's History of Cuba-a work Of no
slight interest, value and Importance. 1t COM
mences with the infancy of Cuba, and ends only
with its present condition. Mr.. Ballou having
been for number Of years resident Of the |
island is well qualified to treat of it, and he has
in the present volume written not only that |
which is true, but also much that is interesting
and important. A better knowledge Of the Gem
Of the Antilles will be gained from this than
any other publication of which we know.
MIR. j.. @. Morgan, Exchange Place, near the
Post Office, has favored us with the following
works 9i4
' The English Envoy at the Court of Nicho-
as l. by Miss Julia Conner, New York: Riker,
fhorne Co. At the present time there can be
10 doubt that this publication will have a large
ale. Aside, however, from its accidental in
crest, itpossesses no slight degree of literary
aerit, and is well worthy of perusal 1t is ad-
1irably printed and handsomely bound
g The Works of Joseph Addison, Vol s." New
sork: G. p. Putnam. This edition of the
'orks Of one Of the most removed English au- {
aors is superior to any that has preceded it. Z
nd well worthy of his fame. It would be q Ia !,
or Of supererogation for US to do more than /
ompliment the Typography Of Advisors works
" The Youth of Jefferson, or Chronicle of
ollege scrapes, New York: Redfeld. The IT,
9 would lead one to believe that there was
mething of amusement contained in the pages
this work, which may or may not be true. C
is gotten up In the style of all of Redfeld's Il
lblications, which is compliment enough.
