Edited, with notes, by William j. ROlfe
A. H., with ensravings. New York
Harper Il Brothers.
This is q companion volume to 'The Mer
chant of Venice" from the same pen, which
met no little favor. Its contents COMPRISE
an intrOsluctiOn, chapters on the history
Of the play, the sources of the plot,
critical comments on the play, the play
itself, and the authors notes. We have no
doubt numerous Shakespearian readers will
comment on this work as antagonistic to
their pet conceptions Of disputed points in
The Tempest" but we take pleasure in
pronourcing it scholarly production, and
one which will afford great pleasure to all
who follow the authors researches and
analytical reasonings.

APPRENT!CEsHlP. Translated from the
Ut Mine StOmtid' of Fritz Reuter- Ph;Ia-

A superficial glance through the pages of
"Seed Time" promise US much pleasure in a
careful perusal. Its scene seems to develop
new phases Of German home life, and the
incidents seem lively and spirited az the
characters are original aud life-Ike We
are willing to insure purchasers of this
book full compensation.

DESE Hollow. By Mrs. Henry Wood,
author OF East Lynne" SHADOW of
Ashlvdyat," The Channings," etc.
This work is Just published by T. b.
Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, from

proof sheets, purchased by them from Mrs.
Henry Wood, and is issued in America
simultaneously with its publication in Lon
don, and in uniform style with "Bessy
Rane." Roland Yorke," The Channings,"
and all the previous works by this popular
author. "Dene Hollow" while containing
the charact teristic features of its authors
style. may be considered equal if not supe-
rior to anything previously written by Mrs.
Wood. This lady has marvellous faculty
of charming her readers with the skill with
which she puts her characters on the stage,
of multiplying her Plots, of sustain
ing Ler dialogues, and of intensifying
all her minor incidents; and as the
work itself presents all those char
acteristics of the author which have estab-
lished her reputation among the first
writers, there is but little doubt Of its sue
cess with our novel loving community.
The story is one of absorbing interest-in-
teresr that would be unrardonable to an
tlcipate its detail, and thereby spoil the in
terest OF the reader. "Dene Hollow" will
not be laid aside without eager perusal to
the end; for the reader will be constantly
led aside into new avenues and lanes, with
such enchanting views and scenery. that
he never wearies of the path: there are SO
many new faces among the minor actors,
and such magic influence thrown around
all they say and do, that his interest never
flags for a moment. The book is handsome
