Series of Essays. By Charles Henry Han.
ger This book, which is published in Boston,
by Mayhem & Baker, is Tupperish in form
and spirit. 1t is an echo of Tupper's PRO
verbal Philosophy" The book has failed to
charm us. Perhaps it will charm somebody,
since the author of it has been entranced by
Upper himself.

First Theory of Morals. Boston, Crosby &

MosAIcs, by the author of "Salad for the
Solitary" published in New York by Charles
Scribner, has reached us. This is one of the
books which furnish genuine entertainment
for persons of taste who like to read in quiet,
out-ot-the-way places, and who enjoy nothing
so much as literary Injuries The volume
contains eleven papers, which somebody ven
lures to class with the Essays of Montaigne,
and not without some reason. They show a
clear intellect, fine culture and vast reading.
The author has been diligent reader of other
mems books, and comes to us in these papers
laden with the spois of more than one library

The ART OF ExTEMPoRE SPEAKING, from
the French of M. Bautain, with additions by
New York lawyer, published in New York
by Charles Scribner. This book is unlike
any English work on elocution, and much bet.
ter. 1t is described as a book that will be
welcomed by preacher, orator, and lecturer p
but in democratic country like ours, there
is no man who does not from time to time
have occasion to address public meetings If
he does not accustom himself to do SO in a
sensible, manly way, he will lack an impor-
tant means of securing that influence in So
ciety which properly belongs to him. Some
never try to make the most of themselves in
this respect; others cultivate bombast and
swinging defamation until they become quite
incapable of addressing public assemblies in a
decent manner. We commend this work to
all who care to acquire the art and habit of
speaking well in public. For sale by Sanford.
