 Derwent Coleridge of the poems of Win throp Mackworth Praed is now published. The texts of the poems have been carefully verified and collated with the manuscript of the author, from which many noteworthy corrections and additions have been derived. In this country an authorized edition has been long announced, but the advantage of a timely appearance has been lost and the ad- vantage of not bringing forth an imperfect work gained. The productions of Praed though given to the world many years ago, continue to excite great interest. Praed is the first of the Austin Dobson school which is descended from the old school to which Sucking belonged. His name is remem bered in the history of statesmanship and his literary honors, though won in early life, at odd moments, have left lasting impression of refined and tender feelings and of an acute observation peculiarly Praed's own. His deep nature was known only to few, but he had a special tact in attracting even where he seemed to repel, which gave him popu- larity which defed dislike. His poetic fac ulty carefully trained both at home and at school. Poetry his recreation and well did he enjoy himself. The volume con tains about four hundred pages, with me- moir by the Rev. MT. Coleridge. It is nicely bound and is a complete work. White, Stokes & Allen, publishers, New York. For sale in this city by Jndd the bookseller.
 Another interesting work of the Interna- tional Scientific series is book on the ''Or- igin of Cultivated Plants,'' by Alphonse De Candolle, foreign associate of the Academy of Sciences, of the Institute of France and foreign member of many royal societies and academies. The author has always aimed at discovering the condition and habitat of each species before it was cultivated and also to establish the number of centuries during which each species has been in cultivation, and how it's culture spread in different di- rections at different times. It is science founded on observation and must make of testimonial proof. MT. Candolle by this method has determined the origin of almost all the species, and most of them with abso- lute certainty. The history of cultivated plants is very closely allied with the most important problems of the history of organ ized beings. The author of this work di vides it into three parts. The first consid- CTS the manner and the epochs in which cul- tivation began, and also the methods for proving the origin of species. The second part deals with the study of species consid cred as to their origin, early cultivation and the principal facts of their diffusion The third part is a summary and conclusion con taining general table of species with obser- yatiops upon them. It is valuable and in- teresting work which fulfills the object for which it was intended. D. Appleton S Co.,, publishers, New York. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 No work can be selected which contains more choice thoughts for every day than kindly Light, Shed from Many Sources upon Every Day in the Year." selected by F. F. and E. R. O.. The little book is prepared by the sympathetic discrimination of woman and is series of selections aptly spoken to any who are oppressed with care or sorrow. The passages are lights of sancti6ed human experience ''The apples of gold are what is offered and yet the pictures of silver are not neglected. The authors quoted not be- cause of their fame, but because of their words. For every day in the year there is a golden apple strengthening draught for the days duties and events.'' The portion for each day is very small and can be easily re- ceived It presents thoughts of beauty and sweetness, yet of power and strength. It becomes the foundation of the daily expert ence, each days sweet and holy thought crowding out those of baser nature. The book is guide, philosopher and friend. As guide it shows the way of truth, as phi losopher it tells the mind what to receive and as friend it leads the heart in field of tenderness and sympathy. The introduction is written by Howard Crosby, D. D., IL. D. Casseu & Co.,, publishers, New York For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
