We copy the title-page in full, as
full exhibit OF this book, which makes
interesting as well as instructive a
subject which apparently is one of
the plainest of our every day life. It
is a companion volume to his pre-
vious work, 'The Market Book, which
attracted so much atteRtion, not Only
on the part of epicures, but of liter,
airy and public men, who have borne
willing testimony to its interest and
value The author says he has been
enabled to place together the thoughts

observation by the employment of
the hours Of leisure from his profes-
sionql duties. and signs himself
" Thomas #. De Voc, Baetcher.'i He
has more nearly exalted his occupa-
ton to the dignity of profession
than any of his associates in bust
ness, and has furnished us more
useful and readable book than the
large majority of professional writer's.
TIE HUGUENoT FAMILY. BY SARAH
&C. New York: HARPER q BROTHERS.
For sale by ROBERT CLARK & Co., Gin
cinnatl. Price 81 rs.
This is the story of family of
French extraction settled in one of
the eastern counties of England dur
ing the period of our Revolutionary
war. The author sketches wildly
the features of the times, the de-
graded character of the English peas
antry, and the peculiarities oF the
Huguenot family, with its traditional
and national synlpathies. The nara
tive belongs to the class of historical.
rather than sensational fiction; and
while instructive as regards the times,
aims to expose the baseness and bru-
tally of human nature until softened
and humanized by the power of the
Gospel It is one of the few novels
which find their way to our table that
possess the merit Of solid and enduring
worth. The story is Of historical inter
est, showing as the causes which led to
the migration ofthe Huguenots to Eng
land. The influence they exerted and
the prosecutions they endured are in
timately connected with the history
of England during the seventeenth
century.
