MOTHER GoosE MELODIES with true and yeraclsus
history Of the Goose Family, music, ETC., etc. etc
Iurd lloughton, Cambridge, Mas.
The peculiar merits Of the Melodies Of Mother Goose
for the Nursery have been too long admitted and their
has become too general to render any desert pton Of
them here necessary desirable 1t is strange how
ever that It has entered into the head of any
publisher to bring them out before in style which their
immense sale would warrant In this edition II has been
the aim Of the publishers to omit all Of which auhen
tically there doubt The present edition may we
think be properly called, far any be, since our
venerable Mother has been long deceased author
lied edition. The Illustrations, by Henry L. stephens
and CASTOR Fay admirable the finest ever introduced
into work Of this character The music too will per.
petuate the melodies ana give each local habita-
ton and to which otherwise it would be a stran-
ger. Wilder has it.

LADY BYRON VNDoArED, by Harriet Beccher Stowe
Fields Osgood Co., Boston.
No work in our remembrance has ever been so anx-
iousy awaited, had many surmises INDUCED re-
garing II, the modest work before u.s. In this
volume Mrs Stowe has devoted over 400 pages in the flu
tile attempt to prove the statements made in her orig
na article in the Atlantic futile say because with
the means at her command, it is simply impossible to
prove her statement and we know OF but one party
tDr Lushngton in the world who prous her allie
cations. Whether the seal Of secresy will bo removed
from his lips not, cannot Of course forotell.
with the materials at her hand however, Mrs. Stowe
has wove strong chain Of cIrcumstantial evidence
which it will be impossible for the friends of Lord Byron
to ignore or get over without some further light"
The book will have large sale, and may be procured
at Phlnney's.
CALEB WILLIAMS anoyel. Fields, Osgood Co.. Eos
The frequent mention made in Mrs. stoves work Of
this novel has induced It's publication at this time. 1t is
powerful novel; and wonder that It has not kept up
its reputation better since its original publication.
Phinney has it.
