D., chaplain in the army, and has been brought down to date by F. H. Norton General Hancock himself read the proofs of the book, and pronounces it complete and correct. The author does not attempt to idealize his hero. He paints him as he found him. Hancock was not an infant prodigy, but he was studious and sedate, and at an early age won for himself the distinction of being just and magnanimous. There was al- ways touch of chivalry in his nature, and as boy of nine he made himself conspicuous among his mates defender of the weak At the age of fifteen he was called upon to read the Declaration of Independence at a Fourth of July celebration, and has, from that age, evinced an interest in public affairs. He organized military company among his schoolmates and at the age of sixteen entered West Point. An excellent steel portrait of Hancock is an attractive feature of the book.

 Education Intellectual Moral and Phys ical,'' by Herbert Spencer, has now been twenty years before the public, and during that time has gradually made it's way into all parts of the civilized world. It has been ren- dered into the principal languages of Europe, and is well known by complete or partial re- production in India, China and Japan. The eminent directors of public education in diff ferent countries have taken the initiative in procuring it's translation. The principles it develops have been avowedly followed in nu- merous instances in shaping the policy of public instruction and in organizing educa- tlonal institutions; and it has exerted a strong influence upon the mental and moral culture of families and upon the intellectual life of individuals. Desirous of still further extending influence welkapproved, Mir. Spencer year or two ago issued cheap edi- ton of the book in England and D. Appleton & Go. have followed his example in this coun- try. For sale in this city by Judd the book seller.
