Music Tor the Sabbath School, tne SOclal
Meeting, and the Home Circle. by ID. II.
Hodges and j. ii. Tenney. Boston: Lee
and Shepard, 1874.
1t is universally felt and admitted that
the singing exercise constitutes one of the
most important and attractive features the
modern Sunday School, and 1t is a matter
of almost equally universal experience that
there is lack of really good and appropri-
ate music for the use of Sunday schools.
This little book will, VIC believe, in great
measure supply this want. Its compiers
are well-known and competent authors
and The selection of hymns and tunes seems
TO have been carefully made, many of them
being entirely new. The work is very well
and clearly printed, and its outside appear
ance is handsome and attractive. For sale
by Cheney and Clapp.
PRoNoUNC1Na HANDBOOK of Words often
Mispronounced, and of Words as to
which choice of Pronunciation Is allow
ed. By Richard Soule and LOOMS J.
Campbell, Boston; Lee & Shepard, 71S73.
This little book, which may, if desired,
conveniently be carried in the pocket, for
ready reference, is a compilation of
over 5000 of those words which are most
commonly mispronounced, or which on
good authority may be pronounced in eth
er of two ways. The correct pronunciation
is given in comparison with the
incorrect, aud we venture the pre-
dicton that ninety-nine persons out of ev
cry hundred in any average community,
who should look this list through would be
greatly surprised TO find how many words
they arc mispronouncing every day. The
price of tho book is only 60 cents, in flexi-
bic cloth, and we know of no better way in
which this sum can be invested than in its
purchase. For sale by Cheney & Clapp.

We have received from Messrs. Lee &
Shepard an important book on subject of
great interest to that portion of the public
who are already insured, or who contem-
plate being so. The name of one so fully
acquainted with the principles and opera
ton of Life Insurance as Elizur Wright is
a sufficient guaranty that the information
given in this work is both valuable and re-
liable. 1t contends effectively for the in

salutary principles which it has hitherto
lacked, and fer want of which many per-
sons become dissatisfied with the system.

1.-The Yacht Club is the second volume
of the Yacht Club Series, to which it gives
name; and like its predecessor is an in
dependent story. Like the first volume of
the series, the incidents of this story are
placed on the waters of the beautiful Pc
nobscot Bay, or on its shores. AS they in
Guide several yacht races, the book will be
OF special Interest TO those acquainted with
aquatic sports; but the principal incidents
are distnc. from the salt water narrative
and the plot will therefore interest the gen.
eral reader. AS in all of Mr.. Adams's
books, the real object of the story.is to in
cucate correct principles and sentiment.
in the mind of the young, and the specia
lesson in morals in this case is that it is un.
wise and dangerous for young people tC

parents and friends. No writer is more
justly popular with the young than is Mr.
Adams, and the whole series will have
large sale. For sale by Cheney & Clapp.
