From Henry Taylor:
TIE GREAT PREPARATION By the Rev JOHN GINNING
DID, F.RS.E. New York: Rudd Carleton1
Inc Ureat preparation appears to be a sequel to
tae Great Tribulation, which was given to the pub
Tic last year, and is meant no doubt, as a prelude
to the Great Crisis, which Dr. Cumming predicts
Is so near at hand. Devoting himself to the Books
OF Prophecy, from Isaiah to Revelations, the
author has at last forced upon himself the belief
that the mantle of the prophets has fallen upon his
shoulders. Forgetting entirely that be belongs to
that race who, Knowing only in part, can but pro.
phecy IN part be not only undertakes to interpret
most literally, but even to foretell the date of
events with more accuracy than divinity ITSELF By
his ingenuity the wondrous inventions of the pre-
sent age, which to thoughtful and observant minds
appear even now to be in their infancy, are the
evidences of the final perfection of human intelli-
gence. Revolutions and wars are the prelude to
the great CONFUSION, and probably the secession of
our Southern States is the beginning of the grand
throe which is to shake the Great CITY from her
foundations Popery has already received its
death stab; hopeful consolation is being whispered
by the telegraph from the scattered tribes to the
faithful at Jerusalem; and leviathan steamers and
flrst-ciass railway carriages, wonderfully foretold
and portrayed in Revelations, are soon to aid in the
rapid concentration of the Jews in the CITY of the
Messiah. In the fulflment of prophecy. earth
shall then be redeemed; and, clothed in her resur
rection robes, shall be adopted into the sterhood
of worlds, from which she erred THROUGH mans
sin.

From the publishers:
SOUTHERN WEALTH AND NORTHERN PROFITS, exhibited
IN statistical facts and official figures ByT P EFT
TELL New York: Van Erie, Horton & Co.
This admirable work, presented to the public in
pamphlet form, so as to be within the reach of
every one, and admirably printed, is filed with a
mass OF valuable Statistics which cannot fail to be
especially interesting at the present time. Pre-
pared about year ago to expose the inevitable
results consequent upon the success of the Repub-
lican party, the public mind was not at that time
sufficiently aroused to the threatened danger to
appreciate the work. Now, however, that its pre-.
dctions have been Sd remarkably verified, there is
no treatise which SO well recommends itself to gen
eral attention, by its copious and wellarrange
details of the commerce, trade, growth and proba-
BILE future of the country, as this. The facts set
forth are to the uninitiated, in some cases. start.
ling, and in others exceently calculated to refute
the false propositions advanced by Republican doc
trine. Many of the suggestions contained in the
work deserve the thought and attention of every
one who interests himself in the political economy
either of England or our own country.
From Jas. S. Waters:
THE ILLUSTRATED HORSE DocToR BEING an accrrata
and detailed account of the diseases to which
the equine is subjected together with the latest
mode OF treatment. Written in plain English Bv
EDWARD MAYHEM, n. R. C. V. s. New York: D. Ap.
pleton Co.
The peculiar merit Of this work consists in the
careful diagnosis and accurate description of every
form of disease to which the horse is liable. The
text Is fully illustrated by wood-cuts, the udicrous
extravaganza of which is well calculated as intend
ed, to depict more clearly the symptoms of each
malady. Backward as we are in this country in
veterinary science, and compelled too often to RELY
upon charlatans whose ign ORANGE is proyerbiaI
the value of this work will be at once recognized.
We can give it no higher praise than to say that it
only adds to the reputation of Mr.. MAYHEM, who
has already rendered himself so wellknown as an
advocate of humanity and genteness towards the
dumb creation. The recipes are abundant and
generally fsuch simple character as to be within
the reach of every horse owner. We recommend
it as the most complete guide to preventive and
cure We have yet seen.
