pheres, a romance, translated from the German

thing more than the unreasoning Teutonio
mania which excuses the reproduction of too
many German works.

A Search for Winter Sain6eams by Samuel 9.
Cox, published by D. Appleton s. Co., New
York. For sale by Bailey & Noyes. Price
| $500.
Hon. Samuel S. Cox, the author of this book,
| is Representative TO Congress from the 9Th
Congressional district of the city of New York,
and represented for eight years the Columbus
Congressional district of Ohio. He has nation
al reputation as "Sunset Cox" and is the lame
who took satirical defence of "Major Ben,"
who rewarded his labor of love by applying to
him the minstrels' refrain, "Shoo fly, don't
bodder me-" He is justly considered as stane-
ing in the front ranks of Democratic orators,
and is gentleman of unquestioned ability and
literary attainments.
Last winter Mr.. Cox being consumpiive and
broken down in health by reason Of too labo-
| rious attention to the business and the wants
| of his constituents, sought health and quiet
across the sea. AS he says in his preface, his
| circle began at Riviera under the Alps; 1t In.
cluded Corsica, thence enters into Africa and
| passes through Spain and Southern France,
until again in the Alps of Italy, it ends with .
view so eminent that it seems to comprehend
the whole sweep of nearly ayear's tour OF
| travel.
| The larger part of the book is devoted to Cor
| sica, Algiers and Spain, but there is much OF
the Riviera, Menbone and Morocco, and the
whole is rich in description and incident.
Few books of this character have been so
gracefully written. and none can prove more
entertaining. We commend it 10 our readers
as a book of more than ordinary interest, and
| worthy of good place among their literary
| treasures, notw outstanding it is dedicated to
| the writer's constituents in New York city.
The illustrations are numerous and the bind
ing good.
Messrs. Bailey & Noyes have also received
from T. B. Peterson s. Bros, Philadelphia,
The Maiden Widow, sequel to the "Fsmily
| DOOM by Mrs Emma d. E. n. Southworth.
which has been already noticed In thsse
| Gossip and Glennings.
