Poxsrs or THE oRrrsr By Bayard Taylor. Boston
Ticknor Fields. ss--. a--ssaas
We have already published two or three
pieces extracted from the present volume Of
poetry by Bayard Taylor. So far as we nave
glanced at its contents it is of about the same
character as his previous writings--neither
better, nor much worse. A greater portion OF
The themes are drawn from Eastern life and
customs. and are treated after an oriental style.
| Those who consider Mr.. Taylor a great poet Will
| Of course buy this volume. Those who do not
SO rank him will buy it to see if their opinions
ought to change. Between the two the WORK
ought to have good sale. It is neatly printed
| and Of uniform appearance with the other poet
| ical publications Of Tieknor & Fields
| MAxMs or washington Political, Social, Moral ana
| Religious Collected and Arranged by John Frederlck
Schroeder, D. d., citizen Of the United STATES. Ne~
/ York D. Appleton & Go.
1 A large number of the opinions Of Washing-
/ ton, on all subjects, are gathered together ana
/ published in the volume whose receipt we
1 acknowledge. As the opinions Of the "Father
/ of his Country" must always attract attention,
4 and as these which DR.. Schroeder has repup-
lished are of the most important nature, we
think the work will be found very valuable to
i every purchaser. Sparks Life Of Washing
/ TOM contains nearly every thing that is pub
lished in the &c Maxims,' but in larger and
more diffuse shape. Those who can not afford
/ the great biographies may very well buy this.

the day by Miss Carey in her stories of g Clio
yernook Children The work has numerous
i illustrations the language is both simple and
i forcible, and will carry untold amounts OF
Il pleasure to little readers, all over the country,
during the ensuing months perhaps years.
