From a. L. Bancroft & Co., Sau Fran
cisco, we have Volume ". of "Green's
History of the English People" Harrer
Brothers, New York; In the previous
notices OF this work we fully gave our views
OF it as formed from perusal Of Green's
shorter history and a reading Of the first vol
ume of this more ext .nded work. The sub
sequeut volumes have but intensified the good
opinion then expressed. 1t is one of tue NEST
useful as it must become one Of the most
popular Of historical works.

cisco, we have of the Franklin Square Ii.
brary series, Lord Brackenbury, . an adj
nirable novel by Amelia B. Edwards, which

yam. They are in fine, large octave volumes,
cloth, library style and in print and form are
admirable samples of excellence in the pub
fishers art. There is no necessity whatever
for remark upon these volumes further than
to announce them as above, and to add that
the text arrangement is such as 10 make them
peculiarly acceptable to those who read long
and to whom fine print would be trying.
From A. L. Bancroft & Co., San Fran
cisco. we have Harper il Brothers Italian
Principal" Part l. being a first Italian
course on the plan of Dr. Smiths g Principia
Latina" 1t was originally formulated by
Signor Ricci, Professor of Italian in the City
of London College. The main object of the
book is to enable the beginner to acquire an
accurate knowledge of the chief grammatical
forms, to learn their usage by constructing
simple sentences as soon as he commences the
study of the language, and to accumulate
gradually stock of words useful in CONVEX
sation as well as in reading.
"a History of Our Own TimeF, from the
Accession of Queen Victoria to the Berlin
Congress, is the title of two-volume oc.
tavo work by Justin Mccarthy. It is from
the press of Harper & Bros, New York, and
| is for sale by A. l.. Bancroft s. Co., San
| Francisco. 1t is rapid historical sketch,
| largely in narrative style, and constitutes a
comment upon the marked events of the
middle of the century. Without being
great work, it is one of much value. While
| it does not aim to analyze and discuss the
history of modern times at length, or to the
| foundation, it does convey much valuable in
| formation, and the events dwelt upon are
narrated SO clearly that there can be no mis-
conception of them. 1t partakes somewhat
of the critical character, but is not so pro-
| foundry so as to make it intricate, and thus
the work is one which will find favor with
large class of readers who will not attempt
more seriously profound essays. Mr.. Nc
Carthy is very bold in his judgment of mod
ern statesmen, and handles them with re-
freshing freedom and striking originality of
method and thought.
