OF the lungs and throat, have made Il known as ~

be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerQus affections of the throat and lungs. As pro.
vision against sudden attacks Of Group, 1t should
be kept on hand In every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject TO colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled CoNswnsptt0ss to thought in

The Appletons have added to their varv
popular series of the novels of Miss MihIbach,
another which is likely to prove among the
most attractive of the series. 1t is entitled
Andreos Hofer, and, of course, has for its hero
tnat brave Tyroese who in 1909 headed the
revolt IN the Tyrol, and by his energy and skill
panied so long all the efforts of Napoleon to
snbdue him. When peace was made between
France and Austria, cemented by the marriage
OF Bonaparte with Maria Louisa, the Austrian
Emperor abandoned Hofer to the resentment
OF Napoleon who ordered him to be shot. Out
OF his romantic life and most heroic death the
iertlie German authOress has drawn the mate
rlais Tor one of the cleverest of her stories. 1t
is wen translated by f. Jordan, aud is issued
by the Appletons in very neat style, with il
lustrahons by Gaston Fay. (Receiyed by Bal
ley and Noyes, and by Hall L. Dayis1
The favor with which the new globe edition
of Cary S Dante has been received has induced
the publishers, Messrs. d. Appleton & Co., to
issue similar edition of the Jerusalem DeEiu-
cred of Tasso. The translation is Wiffin's; and
the poem is preiaced by an excellent biography
OF Tasso, and by list of such English knights
and mobiles as went on the various crusades.
1t is issued in compact and attractive form, be-
ing finely printed on tinted paper, tastefully
bound, and adorned with portrait of Tasso
and several beautiful illustrations of the poem.

G. p. Putnam & Son, New York, have ad-
ded to their beautiful Kniekerbocker edition
of Irving's works The Biography of Oliuer
Goldsmith. OF all the charming books written
by Irving there is none more charming than
this. 1t is one of the most perfect biographies
in the English language. The volume is in
the same style as the preceding ones of the
series, and is finely illustrated. The quaint
illustrated table of contents is an attractive
feature. (Received by Bailey & Noycs.)
From d. Appleton & Co. we have Our M1-

additions to the cheap paper-covered edition
of Dickens published by this firm. These

Taggard & Thompson, Boston, are the pub
fishers of little book entitled The Elements
of Written arithmetic, prepared by James s.

the design of this work to present an outline
of the most important princibles of arith-
metic, for the use more especially of learners
who have not time to pursue so thorough and
complete course as is found in the larger
books. 1t offers short, practical, aritbmeti-
cal course, embracing the topics actually ne
cessary to be mastered in order to engage in
the ordinary business avocations of life.
