PICTORIAL LIFE OF NAPOLEON.

History of Napoleon Bonaparte, translated from the French of M. Laurent de L'Ardeche, with fire hundred spirited illustrations, after designs by Horace Vernet, and twenty original portraits engraved in the best style. Complete in two handsome volumes, octavo, about five hundred pages each. This LIFE OF NAPOLEON, which is now offered to the public, is built up and composed from the saine original anthorities as those consulted by previous historians and biographers; with the assistance. also, of the substantive works of the latter, and of all important works since published, or now in course of publication. From careful abstracts and references; from a dispassionate balancing of the single and collective facts, statements, opinions and conjectural probabilities, occasionally found m direct opposition among authorities of equal influence and validity, the author has sought to attain a fixed equilibrium of general truth. It has not been attempted to give a History of France in the stormy time of the Revolution, or in the successive periods of the Directory, the Consulate, or the Empire. The violent feelings of the English public having now passed away, a period has already commenced for the exercise of a temperate judgment. The author has also endeavoured not to forestall time, broach theories, or dispense censure or praise. The deep-searching and far-spreading investigations, ino which an attenipt to form an opinion concerning the consequences and results of his actions would lead, could not be undertaken without a comprehensive study and voluminous exposition of the moral and political world and its various mutations; they consequently form no part of the present design. PICTORIAL ROBINSON CRUSOE.

The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, by DANIEL DE FOE, with a Memoir of the Author, and an Essay on his Writings, illustrated with three hundred spirited Engravings by the celebrated French artist GRANDVILLE, forming one elegant volume, octavo, of 500 pages.

"Was there ever any thing written by mere man that the reader wished longer, except Robinson Crusoe, Don Quixotte, and the Pilgrim's Progress ?"-Dr. Johnson.

"How happy that this, the most moral of romances, is not only the most charming of books, but the nost instructive."-A. Chalmers.

"No fiction in any language was ever better supported than these Adventures of Robinson Crusoe." -Dr Blair.

"Crusoe has obtained a ready passport to the mansions of the rich, and the cottages of the poor, and communicated equal delight to all ranks and classes of the community. Few works have been mose generally read, or more justly admired; few that have yielded such incessant amusement, and, at the same time, have developed so many lessons of practical instruction."-Sir W. Scott.

PICTORIAL VICAR OF WAKEFIELD.

The Vicar of Wakefield, By OLIVER GOLDSMITH, elegantly illustrated with 108 Engravings, making a beautiful volume, octavo, of about 350 pages.

"This tale is the lasting monument of Goldsmith's genius, his great legacy of pleasure to genera tions past, present, and to come."-Examiner.

"Goldsmith, both in verse and prose, was one of the most delightful writers in the language. Hi verse flows like a limpid stream. His ease is quite unconscious. Every thing in him is spontaneous. unstudied, unaffected, yet elegant, harmonious, graceful, and nearly faultless."-Hazlitt.

GEMS FROM TRAVELLERS.

Illustrative of various passages in Holy Scripture, with nearly one hundred exquisite Engravings Among the authorities quoted will be found the following distinguished names: Harmer, Laborde Lane, Madden, Clarke, Pococke, Chandler, Malcom, Hartley, Russell, Jowitt, Carne, Shawe, Mo rier, Neibuhr, Bruce, Calmet, H. Blunt, Belzoni, Lord Lindsay, &c. &c.

This exquisite volume, so beautiful as an ornament to the centre table, will assist to a clearer perception of the beauty, propriety, and truth of the Holy Scripture, than any other work ever published.

INCIDENTS OF A WHALING VOYAGE.

To which is added Observations n the Scenery, Manners, and Customs, and Missionary Stations of the Sandwich and Society Islands, accompanied by numerous plates. By FRANCIS ALLYN OLMSTED. One handsome volume, 12mo.

The various publications before the public, illustrating our marine and naval history, have never, We believe, as yet entered into the minutie of a whaling voyage-a whale ship, its equipments, discipline, and course of operations in the internal economy and varied contingencies,-until the appearance of the present volume, by one who has some pretensions to science, both in the philosophy of nature and education. The work indeed only presents the events of a single voyage, but is blended with so much of incidental history, abounding in facts relative to the Islands of the Pacific, the Missionary stations there, and the effects of civilization upon the untutored natives of the South, together with the illustrations of the whale fishery, as to embody a mass of intelligence, interesting to the ordinary reader as well as t the philosophical inquirer. The author is a son of Professor Olmsted, of Yale College, who, in the pursuit of health, in a long voyage, has noted the observations to which we refer."-N. Y. Courier.

MRS. AUSTIN'S GERMAN WRITERS. Fragments from German Prose Writers, translated by Mrs. Austin. Illustrated with Biographical and Critical Notes. 1 vol. 12mo. Elegantly printed on fine white paper.

"Those who wish to close a book with the comfortable feeling that no new idea has been suggested, and no old one disturbed, will regard this as very questionable praise; but those who read in order to be made to think, will, I hope, derive some satisfaction from the fragments thus thrown together. The choice of these passages has been determined by considerations as various as their character and their subjects. In some it was the value of the matter, in others the beauty of the form that struck me; in some the vigorous, unaffected good sense, in others the fantastic and mystical charm. Some recalled familiar trains of thought which meet us in a foreign literature like old friends in a far country, others altogether new and strange."- Vide Preface.

THE NATURAL HISTORY OF SOCIETY,

IN THE BARBAROUS AND CIVILIZED STATE.

An Essay towards discovering the Origin and Course of Human Improvement. By W. COOKE TAYLOR, LL.D., &c., of Trinity College, Dublin. Handsomely printed on fine paper. 2 vols. 12mo. "A most able work, the design of which is to determine from an examination of the various forms in which society has been formed, what was the origin of civilization, and under what circumstances those attributes of humanity, which in one country become the foundation of social happiness, and in another perverted to the production of general misery. For this purpose the author has separately examined the principal elements by which society, under all its aspects, is held together, and traced each to its source in human nature. He has then directed attention to the development of these principles, and pointed out the circumstances by which they were perfected on the one hand, or corrupted on the other."

"We perceive by the preface that the work has had throughout the superintendence of the very learned Archbishop Whately."-Literary Gazette.

PALMER'S TREATISE ON THE CHURCH.

A TREATISE ON THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. Designed chiefly for the use of Students in Theology By the Rev. William Palmer, M. A., of Worcester College, Oxford. Edited, with Notes, by the Right Rev. W. R. Whittingham, D.D., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocess of Maryland. 2 vols. 8vo., handsomely printed on fine paper.

"The treatise of Mr. Palmer is the best exposition and vindication of Church Principles, that we have ever read; excelling contemporaneous treatises in depth of learning and solidity of judgment as much as it excels older treatises on the like subjects in adaptation to the wauts and habits of the age. Of its influence in England, where it has passed through two editions, we have not the means to form an opinion; but we believe that in this country it has already, even before its reprint, done more to restore the sound tone of Catholic principle and feeling than any other one work of the age. The author's learning and powers of combination and arrangement, great as they obviously are, are less remarkable than the sterling good sense, the vigorous and solid judgment, which is everywhere manifest in the treatise, and confers on it its distinctive excellence. The style of the author is distinguished for dig nity and masculine energy, while his tone is everywhere natural; on proper occasions, reverential and always, so far as we remember, sufficiently conciliatory.

"To our clergy and intelligent laity who desire to see the Church justly discriminated from Romanists on the one hand, and dissenting denominations on the other, we earnestly commend PALMER'S TREATISE ON THE CHURCH."-N. Y. Churchman.

HARE'S PAROCHIAL SERMONS. Sermons to a Country Congregation. By Augustus William Hare, A.M. late Fellow of New Colege, and Rector of Alton Barnes. 1 vol. royal 8vo.

"Any one who can be pleased with delicacy of thought expressed in the most simple languageany one who can feel the charm of finding practical duties elucidated and enforced by apt and varied illustrations-will be delighted with this volume, which presents us with the workings of a pio is aud highly-gifted mind.”—Quarterly Review.

By the late Most Rev. William Magee, D.D., Archbishop of Dublin. 2 vols. royal 8vo., beautifully printed.

"This, is one of the ablest critical and polemical works of modern times. Archbishop Magee is truly a malleus hereticulum. He is au excellent scholar, an acute reasoner, and is possessed of a most extensive acquaintance with the wide field of argument to which his volumes are devoted-the profound Biblical information on a variety of topics which the Archbishop brings forward, must endear his name to all lovers of Christiauny."-Orme.

DEVOTIONAL LIBRARY.

The greatest care is taken in selecting the works of which this collection is composed. Each volume is printed on the finest paper, elegantly ornamented, and bound in a superior manner, and uniform in size. Bishop Doane says of this collection, "I write to express my thanks to you for reprints of the Oxford Books; first, for such books, and secondly, in such a style. I sincerely hope you may be encouraged to go on, and give them all to us. You will dignify the art of printing, and you will do great service to the best interest of the country, In a letter received from Bishop Whittingham, he says, "I had forgotten to state my very great satisfaction at your commencement of a series of Devotional Works, lately republished in Oxford." The publishers beg to state while in so short a time this library has increased to so many volumes, they are encou raged to make yet larger additions, and earnestly hope it may receive all the encouragement it deserves.

CARLYLE ON HISTORY AND HEROES.
On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History. Six Lectures, reported with Emendations and
Additions, by Thomas Carlyle, Author of the French Revolution, Sartor Resartus, &c. Elegantly
printed in 1 vol. 12mo.

"A masterly production.-Even the single lecture to which we shall confine our office, is, we feel, greater theme than can be sufficiently illustrated at our hands. We have elsewhere noticed a new edition of Sartor Resartus, by the same author. It is a very remarkable work, though we must confens somewhat too German and transcendental for our taste. We rejoice to say that we find no such difficulties besetting us in these disquisitions on heroes. They are in truth philosophical enough, abrupt enough, tearing enough; but their philosophy is clear, distinct, and intelligible; their abruptness is the vigor of Demosthenes; their tearing the acts of a giant who has a wilderness to burss through and open to the rest of mankind."-Literary Gazette.

THE FLAG SHIP;

Ora Voyage round the World,

In the United States Frigate Columbia, attended by her consort, the Sloop of War John Adams, and bearing the broad pennant of Commodore George C Read. By FITCH W. TAYLOR, Chaplain to the Squadron. 2 vols. 12mo., plates.

"This work has been some time before the public; but if in consequence of our late notice, it shall afford to any reader the very great pleasure and profit which its perusal has given us, we are sure he will think it better late than never. The records of a voyage around the world, made by a man, who, in mingling with the various and wonderful scenes it must present, has had his eyes open, could not fail to be interesting. Facts and real occurrences, are things of which we never grow weary. But this work has a far higher claim to regard. Its literary character is certainly very respectable, and the benevolent spirit and Christian interest with which the varied incidents of a visit to almost every nation on the globe were regarded, give the book an unwonted value. The abilility to survey the moral aspects of the world, is a qualification of which the far greater part of travellers are utterly deficient. Probably since the valuable journal of Tyerman, and Bennett, there has been no other one published which exhibits so satisfactory a view of the Christian missions of the world as this. We think it adapted -to interest its readers not only, but greatly to instruct them, and especially to awaken a deep and lively sympathy for the moral wants and miseries of the world."-Evangelist.
