YOUNG CRUsOE A STORY FOR BOYS; By Dr. Harley.
Boston Walker, Wise, 4 Co. 1854.
One thing is remarkable in the history of
literature for the last gensration,-the eff
fort made to reach the young through
books. We have multitudes of "stories for
Beys,' ''stories for Girls" and every year
noteworthy additions are made to the num-
her and excellence of books whose aim is
to interest, smuse and, through entertain
ment, instruct the youth. As attention and
hought have been given to the better
mo les of reaching this class, books have
co: ,espondingly lost their pokiness, and as
a ssult those books have become obsolete,
W / 1se illustrations gave out that the good
Loy was only he who walked <demurely
.ider an 0; d fashioned Sabbath school bea.
Or hat, and who demeansd himself as if a
weight of sanetity equal to eight
or ten stmospheres we're pressing him
down. Now we have books which appeal
to the Imagination, kindle the fancy, and
awaken and exhilarate the young nature.
Of such character is this book. 1t isa very
readable and sufficiently reasonable vol
ume. Many boy will hangO over it with
delight, and spend hours in its company
with infinitely more profit than he would
without thisstory of adventure to read.
Inkham & Bragg have it for sale.
LITE AsD CAMPAIGNS OF GEORGE D. MCCLELLAN.
By G.. S. Hiliard. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippin-
eott 4 Co. 1864.
We have here a neat volume of about
400 pages, including the appendix and in
dex. It is executed in commendable style.
The work is pleasantly enough written.
No one, as we are aware, claims for it orig
inality, or imagines it will outlive the po-
litical campaign. It is a campaign docu-
ment, evidently. On no worthy theory of
biography can it be claimed an enduring,
authoritative, standard work. 1t merely
gives outlines, the skeleton of events, and
to any one not familiar with the more
prominent features and facts of the Gen.
erals career, it may prove itselfa volume
ofaome utility.
For sale at Ingham & Bragg's.

magazine form from the publishers, and
find it a convenient, marrowful little
affair. It is got up on the basis of the latest
edition of the German Conversations Lexi-
con, and is properly illustrated by wood en-
cravings and maps. This number ranges
from aOrs to m.yrrG, and contains bulk
information which the thinness of the
magazine gives no hint Of It is very
convenient and useful publication.

HISTORY OF TIE AETI-SLAvERY Measures OF THK
37TH AND 3SrH USITED STATES CoSGREssEs, 1861
q. By Henry Wilson. Boston Walker, Wise and
Company. 1854
The radical reader will find in this vol
ume the book he wants-a book character
lied, as is everything that Senator Wilson
does, by thoroughness and simplicity. He
gives a statement of the course of our ma
tional legislation on the subject of slavery,
during the three years of our civil war,
which was inaugursted to establish more
firmly, and for aye, and perpetuate that
same slavery. And he gives not merely
results, but shows the personal history, as
it were, of every measure and movement.
During the lastthree years the magnitude
Of military enterprises and events has over
shadowed legislative and judicial actions,
and we have need to remind ourselves of
the gigantic strides which we have made in
our national legislation. To refresh ones
memory in this regard we know no book
worthier of perusal than Senator Wilson's.
The book should have, and doubtless will
have an extensive sale.
1t may be had at Ingham & Bragg's.
