a very distinguished evangelical divine. 1t
is, in fact, the collection of ten of the Rev.
Mr.. Winslow's best sermons in a well printed
volume. 1t will be extensively read, because
Mr.. w. ranks deservedly high as one of the
most feryently pious and ablest orthodox
divines of the day. tta.
EARLY RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CONSIDERED as
THE DIvINELY APPOINTED WAY TO rHE Re-
GENERATE LIFE. By Wm. Il. Eliot, pastor
of the Church of the Messiah, st. Louis.
Z" Feed my lambs" Boston Crosby, Mich
OILS q Co., Ill Washington street. 1855.
This little volume, from the pen of our old
school fellow and intimate family friend-than
whom no othsr could be better qualified by
the reetitude of his own character, habits
through life, excellent sense, and experience
as parent as we'll as a christian minister, for
the so-important task-is an appeal to parents
upon tho necessity for the systematic training
of their offspring. That is, for the formation
of their characters in proper moulds. How
ever widely readers may differ from Mr.. Eliot's
views on abstract theological questions-nOne
of which are approached in this wor no one
duly impressed with parents responsibilities

without entertaining sentiment of gratitude
for the sensible, plain, and excellent advic.
which he gives. He is eminently practical
man and christian, and evinces the fact with
much force in his little book now laying open
before US. Many just such teachers are sadly
needed in these " fast' times.

Boston Crosby, Nichols Co., Ill Wash

LOVE OF COUNTRY or S1bieski and Hedwig.
Compiled and translated from jho sr.nch,
by Trauermantel. illustrated. Rotten !:
Crosby, Nichols 4 Co. 1855.
This volume is designed as a holiday prosczt
for youth. 1t is beautifully gotten Ep. sui Is
capitally compiled and translated. We need
hardly remind the reader that John Sobieski's S
life was, perhaps, more romantic than that of
any other man known to the history OF til at
most romantic people-tne Poles. All nis
wonderful exploits, achievements, triumphs
trials ard misfortunes are capitally set forth
in this little book, which teaches reality only
while as interesting as romance possibly could
be, from the particular character of its sub
ject.
MOLLY AND KIrrY; or Peasant Life in Ire
land With Other Tales. Translated from
the German, by TrauermaEtel Boston
Crosby, Nichols h CO. 1856.
Messrs. Crosby, Nichols Co. are to be con-
graduated for their efforts to place within the
reach Of the youth of both sexes, in our coun-
try, some of the best series Of tales for chill
dren e1tant in the German and French Ian
guages. Their selections for translation so far
have been admirable, and the transations
they have caused to be made are full of inter-
est, while always intoxicating improving infor-
nation, and just such rs should be placed
within the reach of children fond of reading
whom it is designed really to benefit by the
books with which they are instructed. The
volume to which we here refer, will be read,
re-read, and read again by thousands Of in
torested little ones in the course of the next
three months, or the natural impulses of the
rising generation have sadly degenerated-
which We do not believe-since VIC entered
into our teens. -
