 ''Vergil," by H. Nettleship, is added to D. Appleton $ Co.'s series entitled Classical Writers" It is careful study of the charao- ter, surroundings and work of Vergil, of whom the author says he is one of the few poets ''the web of whose composition is strangely woven of learning and originality combined. Probably Milton affords in this respect the nearest parallel to him, as he also does in the unique and exquisite muisc of his periods, his wonderfully delicate allitterations, his love for the sound of ancient names. It is difficult to read much at time either of Vergil CT Mil ton, if we would read them aright." As to the quality of Vergils poetry as inspired by na- ture, the author says: "His ear was more susceptible than his eyes. There is little in him of the minute observation of form and color which strikes us in Lucretius. It is different, however with sounds. With waters and forests he is evidently in real sympathy; his ear must have often listened for their all
 
 passages might easily be quoted which echo with exquisite music and subtle aIliterations the voices of forests and of waters, whether the roar of the sea or the murmurs of rivers" For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller

 Moral Education in Relation to Sex" by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, is book which all parents should read. The authoress discusses, with commendable frankness and earnestness, a subject which is of the gravest importance not only to parents and the youth they have in charge, but also to society at large, which is, in fact, only a family circle of wider dimensions, whose interests are clearly iden- tical, and not easily separated from those of the narrower band of home members. The writer's experience of twenty eigEt years as physician enables her to write intelligent Iy on 8 topic which is usually tabooed in po- lite society from motives of false delicacy and she has done so with an ability which should win from the public which she desires to touch a careful consideration of the views put forth Published by Brentano, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Ceremonial Institutions" by Herbert Spencer, constitutes Part Fourth of the Prin- ciples of Sociology. The author regards the government of ceremonial observsnces as ''the earliest kind of government, the most general kind of government, and the government | which is ever spontaneously recommending" First, men who are dreaded or feared are the | object of ceremonial observance. After their 1 death this becomes worship. Trophies of the | chase or of battle give especial regard. The chief trophy taker is king. Captiyes are at first slain subsequently they are made slaves They are mutilated SO as to be distinguished Suppose an enemy who has been scalped sur | wives. Spencer gays: ''The captor preserves the scalp as an addition to his other trophies ;; the vanquished enemy becomes his slave; and he is shown to be a slave by the loss of his scalp. Here, then, are the beginnings of a l custom that may become established when social conditions make it advantageous to keep conquered foes for servants instead of eating them. The conservative savage changes as little as possible. While the new practice of enslaving the captured arises, the old practice of cutting from their bodies such parts as serve for trophies continues, and the marks
 left become marks of subjugation-" good deal of curious learning is devoted to saluta | tions presents, modes of propitiation, visits, etc.. and the growth of civilized society is traced out from its simplest beginnings. Pub lished by D. Appleton 6 Co.,, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller. 'sThe Crayfsh; An Introduction to the Study of Sociology" by T. H. Huxley, F. R. S., is the twenty y-eighth volume of ''The h. ternational Scientific Series," published by D. Appleton 6 Co.,, New York. The work is not meant to be scientific monograph in the
 ordinary sense, but literally what it is called,
 introduction to zoology. Because the crayfsh
 is common in the streams of Europe and
 because all the most important points of it's
 construction are easily made out by any student
 with eyes in his head and because this hum
 ble marine animal suggestively illustrates all
 the broad, fundamental principles of geological
 and even of biological science, Professor Hux-
 ley has thought that the study of such an ani-
 nal, properly conducted and guided, furnishes
 far better introduction to zoology than any
 orderly arraying of principles, any arbitrary
 teaching of barren and uninteresting general
 cations can do. Accordingly he has made this
 little book about crayfshes not so much for
 the purpose of giving his readers the results
 of investigation respecting single animal as
 for the more important purpose of induoting
 them by this means into the study of zoology
 in its wider relations. Eighty-two wood cuts
 illustrate the text. For sale in this city by

 There is a wide difference between ahe prices demanded by newspapers for an nadvertisemenIt to be inserted a mOnth and one which is SO appear for a year.
