NEW BooKs.-We have upon our table the
first bound volume OF the Rebellion Record"
by Putnam, of New York. This book is
diary of all the leading events of the present
crisis, and contains important documents, sta
tstics and narratives in relation thereto 1t
contains over 750- pages Of important matter,
and has a copious index that renders it ready
book of reference, and desirable library book ;
it is bound IN cloth and got up in a neat style
1t should be read by every one, and kept as
history of the events of the great American
Rebellion.
H. H. Bancroft & Co., of San Francisco
have it for sale.
We have also received the first number of
another new work, entitled the " Southern
Rebellion and the War for the Union,' and
purports to be a history of the rise and progress
of the rebellion. 1t is by far the neatest and
most convenient book yet given to the public
upon the topic Of the present war crisis, and
deals in stable facts and statistics, and impor-
tant historical narratives, set forth in calendar
order, and is at once comprehensive and mi
mute. 1t will follow the progress Of events,
and be put into convenient volumes as it pro-
gresses TO the end of the present difficulties.
We more than like this new book 1t promi
ses WELL H. II. Bancroft & Co. have it.
Appleton's Map of the Seat of War is
convenient pocket map, but does not embrace
the present field of operations on the Southern
Coast very fully, it gives good idea of the
Virginia field of operations, and is desirable for
that purpose.
Bancroft's Hand Book Almanac is intended
as a convenient reference almanac, to be in the
hands of every business man, and upon his
table.
All these books may be had through A. G.
Simpson, Orovie Book Store, who is agent
for H. e. Bancroft & Co.
