SEVEN YEARS, AND OTHER TALES. By. JULIA KAvANAeH
author of Ndthdte Adele &c &c In paper three vols
in one. l2fo., PIP 423. 1850.
This reprint of some of the best tales of this ex-
tremely clever and entertaining authoress we re-
gard as very judicious enterprise. In her own
line, few writers of the day stand higher than Miss
Kavanagh.

| CHURCH, New York. vol, IL mo-, PIP 4Si. 1860.
In the concluding paragraph of his Prefac e, the
author observes: off contribute the smallest addi-
ton to the evidence-now slowly accumuating-
that the free use of reason is compatible with hear
ty faith in the Gospel and that emancipation from
superstition and human authority does not involve
the loss of tender reverence for divine persons and
things-I shall have abundant cause to rejoice in
this work of love" Such being Mr.. Bellows pur-
pose, as stated by himself-certanly noble one
this volume may be commended to those who feel
their faith at all in conflict with their reason.

THE Coy TAR; or, VOYAGE IN THE DARK. BY Captain
MAYNE REP author auth Of the DeseT Home, Ths Yonng
by Charles S Kesne. i vol, Ismo. 1860
We predict for this tale decided popularity
The author spins his yarn with the spirit and rrai
semJlance of Defoe. The adventures of his little
hero wild and improbable as they arch tells with
such an air of good faith and conviction, to
ry away belief in spite of us. The Boy Tar
deserves place beside Robinson Crusoe.

THE CRusADEs AND THE CRUSADERS By JOHN G. EDGAR Au
With eight illustrations By Julian Portch / vol, Ismo.
! Mr.. Edgar narrates with decided success the
events Of the Holy War, from tae time Peter the
Hermit rode over Europe on his mule, until the
day when Acre, the last Christian stronghold, fell
before the Paynim. Although the events of the
two centuries in which the possession of the holy
sepulchre was the principal object alike of
statesman and priest, knight and varlet,
king and peasant, in all Christendom, have been
of history, they can never lose their interest,
whether for the philosopher school-boy. For
the latter we know of no better compendium than
the one before us.

THE PROFESSOR At THE BREAKFAST TABLE THE STORY

The first five words of the 'Professor' raise
question of grammar. 81 intended to hare signazed

ga universal formula of life yet promulgated at this

to hare signalizea, neither is it possible he can
have intended to hare signalized. When you
wish to speak of something which existed prior
to some other past period, double preterite is not
only admissible but necessary; otherwise it is alb
surd. The Professor clearly should have said 81

and indeibe. 1t seems the ''Proessor'' is equally
unfortunate; we perceive his Breakfasttable
talk is in that fossil form. After reading, admring
and praisrg the "Proessor'' month BY month, as he
spoke to us through the columns of the Atlantic, we
need not collect several notices into one review
as he has collected his numbers into volume. We
seldom meet with writing more to our taste than
that which DR.. HOLMES pours outwith such delight
full ease and spirit. As Marylanders and Batimo-
reans, We the professor especial kindness, as
of his most pleasant crochets is to attribute to
us conditions and qualities very agreeable to have

mated from the British press. 1t has through
many editions in England, where its sale is helped
by local causes not existing here but the intrinsic
merit of the work is such ensure its favorable

BLACK AARON. Christmas Story for his little nephews by
the author of Black Diamonds In paper PIP. Il. 1889
If "The Impending Crisis" of Helper is to be
'set OFF, by "BIack Diamonds" as seems to have
been attempted in the debate which is now dis
grazing our unorganized House of Representatives,
Black aaron can by means be regarded as a
compensation for Uncle Toms Cabin If the design
of the author reached beyond telling story in a
simple and effective way, (Which he has fairly &C
complished,) we cannot understand in what way
the institution of slavery is benefited by this tale.
If the moral be that Yankee overseers are especially
| cruel and INSCRIPTIONS, it may be replied that Lee
| gree-Mrs Stoves villain-was a Yankee and
Mrs. Stowe has this advantage, that Legree who
murders Tom, was his proprietor and responsible to
no one for his acts; while Hardcastle, the overseer
who Stays Aaron, is but the agent of the master,
who must be held responsible for his acts.
