This narrative is intended for young poo
pie. This is style Of imparting inforna-
ton that is excellent. We cannot speak of
| the success of this author, as we have not
read her book; but whenever any writer
gives to the public book which affords
knowledge of the inhabitants Of foreign
lands-thcir habits and customs-the ami
mails Of those countries-thc sports and
perils that mark the life Of man in them
he does q great service to mankind. Such
narratives quicken the youthful intellect,
sharpen its inquisitive temper, and give 1t
strength, moro than any other kind Of
books that can be put into the hands OF

The Odes and Epodes Of Horace. 4 Me-
trical Translation into English. With IN
PRODUCTION and Commentaries. BY LORD
LYTToS. With Latin Text from the cdi-
tons of ORELL1, MAcLEANE, and 1ONGE.
New York HARPER & BROTHERS.
This is a valuable contribution to classic
literature. The metrical TRANSACTIONS are
more fxithful than metrical. The author
has, not like PORE in the Iliad. broken
away from the text, and made poems of his
own; but, following the original, he has
made such harmony as the intention OF
sticking as closely as possible to the text
would permit. 1t is q great qualification to
have such translation of the charming"
HORACE, the most beloved and oftenest
quoted by the scholars of all the Latin
Wrists.
Old Horse Grey and the Parish Of Grnnable-
ton. Bv EDWARD HOPPER. New DIRK:
HURD & HoUGuToN.
This poem is dedicated to Mr.. BERGH, of
New York, the great hero who devotes his
life to the protection of {" dumb animules"
from cruelty. The poets old grey, how
ever, seems to be neglected old parson.
If Mr.. BERGH can in no more forcible man.
ner arouse the public sympathy in behalf
of the objects of his solicitude they Will be
not much benefited by him. Much very
good print and paper from the " Riverside
press is wasted here.

incs." &c. With DESIGNS by DoRE, DELA-
ROCHE, DURHAM, and PARSONS. ne"
York HARPER e. BROTHERS.
This work is superbly engraved and
printed. What Mr.. LYMAN ABBOTT does
for it of course is very bold and independ-
emit. He is an intrepid author, who prac-
tiIzes the "life" and teachings" OF
Christ to suit the age of progress, and we
cannot tell what he may do to utilize the
sacred shadows" of the Old and New
Testament. Mr.. ABBoTT's thoughts are
most comfortably and elegantly laid in
sheets of exquisite letter-press. LISA beau
tiful Christmas present.

Author of ''Sidney Elliott" Philadel-
phia CLAYTON, REMsEN & HAFFELFlNGER.
We do not remember Sidney Elliott"
and do not know anything Of Mr.. NAUMAN's
talents. He has selected Il capital name for
novel, and in proportion as his thread is
twisted will it likely be popular. The pub
fishers are new to the publishing world, but
they are sending out some very well-printed
books.
For sale by GEORGE l.. BIDGooD.
