CAMPAIGNS OF THE CIVIL WAR.
We have received from Jansen, Nc
Clurg q Co., of Chicago, agents of the
publishers, Charles Scribner's Sons, New
York the first two volumes of a series,
entitled Campaigns Of the Civil War.
The first volume, The Outbreak of the
Rebellion, is by John g. NicOlay, who
was Private Secretary to President Lin
coin; the second volume, From Fort
Henry to COrinth, is by NJ. +. Force, late
1Brigadier General and Brevet Major
General, U. s. ", commanding First
Division Seventeenth Corps.
The publishers, not seeing satisfac-
tory history of the civil War fOrthcOm-
ing, have conceived the idea of dividing
the task of writing it among those
whose experience or abilities gave the
best promise of coping with it success
fully, and under this arrangement have
begun the issue of work which will in
all probability comprise ten or twelve
volumes uniform with the first two
already at hand. They are duOddeci-
mos of about 200 or 250 pages, in neat
and compact form. The volumes will
appear, as far as possible, in the ehrOn-
illogical order of the campaigns of
which they treat and by their prelimi-
nary and concluding chapters will be
work will practically cover the entire
1Tield of the war.
AMERICAN HEALTH PRIMERS.
Presley BlakistOn, Philadelphia, whose
publications on the prevention of dis
ease and the attainment of good health
are so well known throughout the cOun-
try, has now complete series of Ameri-
can Health Primers, which cover a
ground occupied by no other books.
There are twelve volumes in all, and
they are sold separately, at the low
price of 80 cents per volume, or SO for
the entire set. The titles are ''HeaT-
ing, and How to Keep It," Long Life,
and How to Reach It," Summer, and
Its Diseases" "Eyesight, and How to
Care for IT, "The Throat and Voice."
H'Winter and Its Dangers" "The Mouth
and Teeth" Brain Work and Over
work" Our Homes" "The Skin in
Health and Disease" "Sea Air and Sea
Bathing" "SchOOl and Industrial Hygi-
enc" 1t will readily be seen that a
more comprehensive list could scarcely
be prepared, and the sales, which al
ready amount to many thousands, fairly
attest the popularity and value of the
books. Any of these volumes will be
sent postpaid, by the publisher, on re-
ceipt of price. Should any of our sub |
Scribers desire to act as agents, special |
terms can be obtained from the pub
Usher. A complete catalogue is also |
sent on application.

CENTURY MAGAZINE.
The second number of the Century
Magazine (Scribner's Monthly contains,
appropriately, material in memory of
the late EditOr-in-chief, DR.. j. G. HOl-
land. A faithful portrait by Wyatt
Eaton, engraved by Cole, is the fTOntis-
piece, and well reflects his kindly face
and fine bearing. sketch of his life
by Edward EgglestOn takes the first
place, usually occupied by an illustrated
paper; 1T is of an anecdOtal character,
and includes, among other topics, his
early poverty, his influence as a journal
list, his religious character, and his per- |
sOnal qualities. Poems in his memory
are contributed by H. H." e. c.. Sted
man and Washington GLADDEN.. One of
his own poems Is printed in autograph
fac-simile, and two Topics of the Time"
1.-The Lesson of the Year." and Poverty
as Discipline" (the latter unfinished,
and written the afternoon before his
death), are printed as his last cOntribu-
tiOns to that department. There is also
an editorial tribute to him, and an
abstract of the memorial service at
Springfield.
This number affords the first OppOT-
tunity the magazine has had to make
extended mention of the death of PTesi-
dent Garfield. A paper on his personal
and public qualities is contributed by
his friend of many years, Mr.. z. V.
Smalley, who makes a well-rOunded
study. 'The Story of President Garfield's
Illness" is told by DR.. d. W. Bliss, which
will be as eagerly read for the authen-
ITCHY it gives to events already reported
as occurring as for those which it newly
records. TO many readers the most in
teTeSting of all this material will be the
fac simile of the Presidents first writ
ing after his assassinatiOn-his name
and the words StrangulatuS pro Re-
public "(SlaughteTed for the Republic''),
which Colonel Rockwell authorizes the
Century to publish.
NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.
The editor and proprietor of the North
American Review announces that the
Review will be hereafter published at
No. 80 Lafayette Place, and will appear
under its own imprint. He states that
he has found it impossible to conduct
the publication in the spirit of the motto
adopted by its founders, making it a
forum of independent thought, and ex-
tending, at his discretion, the hospitality
of its pages to thinkers and scholars of
all creeds and forms of belief, and at
the same time to maintain relations
with publishing house having extern
siYe school book and other interests of
