their Catalogue of important Publications in the several departments
of Literature. They would particularly direct your attention to
that admirable series of devotional works by BISHOP PATRICK, BISHOP
WILSON, DOCTOR SUTTON and others, which have received the unqualified
commendation of the Church. In a letter received from BISHOP WHITTINGHAM,
he says, “I had forgotten to express my _very great satisfaction_ at your
commencement of a series of devotional works, lately re-published in
Oxford and London.” Again, BISHOP DOANE says of this, “I write to express
my thanks to you for reprints of the Oxford books; first, for reprinting
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 interests of the
country.” The undersigned also beg to refer to their beautiful edition of
the Poetical Works of SOUTHEY, also to that excellent series of “Tales
for the People and their Children,” by MARY HOWITT and others, and to
that extensive series of popular works for general reading, uniting an
interesting style with soundness of Christian principle, such as the
works of ARCHBISHOP MAGEE, GUIZOT, JOHN ANGELL JAMES, MISS SINCLAIR, REV.
ROBERT PHILIP, REV. AUGUSTUS WM. HARE, JNO. PYE SMITH, FREDERICK AUGUSTUS
SCHLEGEL, ISAAC TAYLOR, DR. W. C. TAYLOR, REV. DR. SPRAGUE, &c. &c. They
also publish those very popular Voyages and Travels by REV. H. SOUTHGATE,
of the Episcopal Mission, and FITCH W. TAYLOR, together with the Memoirs
of GENERAL ALEXANDER HAMILTON by his son; and will continue to publish
standard and popular works, and trust to merit a continuance of public
favour.

SCHLEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY,
The Philosophy of History, in a course of Lectures delivered at Vienna,
by FREDERICK VON SCHLEGEL, translated from the German, with a Memoir of
the author, by J. B. ROBERTSON. Handsomely printed on fine paper. 2 vols.
12mo.
“To do a mere reviewer’s justice to such a work would require many
numbers of our journal. It is quite unnecessary to do more than direct
attention to a production which, beyond all others, has contributed
to exalt and purify modern science and literature—a work to which, in
the eloquent words of a great man, ‘we owe the attempts at least to
turn philosophy’s eye inward on the soul, and to compound the most
sacred elements of its spiritual powers with the ingredients of human
knowledge.’”—_Literary Gazette._
THE NATURAL HISTORY OF SOCIETY, IN THE BARBAROUS AND CIVILISED 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. 12 mo.
“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.”—_New-York
American._

APPLETON’S TALES FOR THE PEOPLE
=And their Children.=
The greatest care is taken in selecting the works of which the collection
is composed, so that nothing either mediocre in talent, or immoral in
tendency, is admitted. Each volume is printed in the finest paper, is
illustrated with an elegant frontispiece, and is bound in a superior
manner, tastefully ornamented.
The following have already appeared uniform in size and style:
=WHO SHALL BE GREATEST?= A Tale: by MARY HOWITT. 1 vol. 18mo., plates.
“The great moral lesson inculcated by this book is indicated by its
title; and while it is prominent enough through the whole volume, it
comes out at the close with most impressive effect. We need not say it
is a lesson which every human being is the wiser and the better for
learning. We cordially recommend the work to all who would desire to form
a sober and rational estimate of the world’s enjoyments.”—_Albany Evening
Journal._
=SOWING AND REAPING=: or What will Come of It? by MARY HOWITT. 1 vol.
18mo., plates.
“We commenced it with the intention of just looking it over for the
purpose of writing a cursory notice; but we began to read, and so we
went on to the finis. It is very interesting: the characters are full of
individuality.”—_New-Bedford Mercury._
=STRIVE AND THRIVE=: a Tale by MARY HOWITT. 1 vol. 18mo., plates.
“The mere announcement of the name of the authoress, will doubtless
bring any of her productions to the immediate notice of the public; but
Strive and Thrive is not a book for children only, but can be read with
pleasure and advantage by those of a more mature age. It fully sustains
the reputation of its predecessors. The style is easy and flowing, the
language chaste and beautiful, and the incidents of the tale calculated
to keep up the interest to the end.”—_New-York Courier & Enquirer._
=HOPE ON, HOPE EVER=: or the Boyhood of Felix Law: by MARY HOWITT. 1 vol.
18mo.
“A very neat volume with the above title, and the farther annunciation
that it may be called Tales for the People and their Children, has been
written by Mary Howitt, whose name is so favourably known to the reading
community.”
“This volume like all others that emanate from the pen of this lady,
is extremely interesting; the characters are naturally drawn, while
the feeling and passion displayed, give the work a higher rank than is
usually allotted to Nursery Tales.”—_Commercial Advertiser._
=THE LOOKING GLASS FOR THE MIND=: or Intellectual Mirror, being an
elegant collection of the most delightful little stories and interesting
tales: chiefly translated from that much admired work L’ami des Enfans;
with numerous wood cuts—the twentieth edition. 1 vol. 18mo.
The stories here collected are of a most interesting character, since
virtue is constantly represented as the fountain of happiness, and vice
as the source of every evil—as a useful and instructive Looking Glass, we
recommend it for the instruction of every youth, whether Miss or Master;
it is a _mirror_ that will not flatter them or lead them into error; it
displays the follies and improper pursuits of youthful hearts, points
out the dangerous paths they sometimes tread, and clears the way to the
_temple of honour and fame_.
=THE SETTLERS AT HOME=: by HARRIET MARTINEAU. 1 vol. 18mo.
“The circumstances under which this little volume, for the amusement
of children, has been produced, give an additional charm to its truth,
simplicity, and feeling. The tale, though in one passage sorrowful enough
to moisten many a pair of eyes, is full of interest and character. The
latter, we may add, is as much appreciated by children as the former; and
they will take as lively an interest in Ailwin’s ignorant and unselfish
fidelity and her stalwart arms, and in Roger Redfurn the gipsy boy’s
gleams of better nature, as in the developement of the main incident of
the book, a disastrous flood which spread devastation over the Isle of
Axholme two hundred years ago.”—_Athenæum._
“The early tales of Miss Martineau, written to inculcate and illustrate,
by practical examples, the truths of political economy, will survive
her later and more controversial works. So in this little story of
the History and ill-treatment of some Dutch settlers, in the fens
of Lincolnshire—during the wars of the Parliament because they were
strangers, and because, moreover, they interfered with the wild and
ague-shaken gunners and fishermen of the fens,—we see again the same
shrewdness of observation—the same real interest in the welfare of the
humble classes—the same sagacity, and occasional natural pathos, which
rendered the politico-economical tracts so attractive, in despite of
their name and subject.”—_New-York American._
=EARLY FRIENDSHIP=: a Tale by MRS. COPLEY. 1 vol. 18mo., plates.
In introducing the name of a new writer to this series of popular
works, the publishers cannot but express their desire that all who have
purchased previous volumes, will buy this, being assured it will commend
itself to the reader so that the name of Mrs. Copley will soon, like the
name of _Howitt_, be a passport to the notice and favour of the whole
reading community.
=FAMILY SECRETS=: or Hints to those who would make Home Happy, by Mrs.
ELLIS, author of “The Women of England,” “Poetry of Life,” etc.
“The tendency of this book is one of the best and noblest. The scenes
and characters are, it is believed, portraits. Aiming as it does at the
correction of a too prevalent vice—it is expected that the Family Secrets
will command amongst the serious and thinking part of the community as
extensive a popularity as Nicholas Nickleby does in its peculiar circle.”
=PAST DAYS=; a Story for Children. By ESTHER WHITLOCK. Square 18mo.
“It is a delightful, instructive little book; and if the child, when
she closes the volume, find her ‘eyes red with weeping,’ let her not be
ashamed; one old enough to be her grandfather, caught the same disease
from the same source.”—_Philadelphia United States Gazette._
HAZEN’S SYMBOLICAL SPELLING-BOOK.
The Symbolical Spelling Book, in two parts. By EDWARD HAZEN. Containing
288 engravings, printed on good paper.
“This work is already introduced into upwards of one thousand different
schools, and pronounced to be one of the best works published.”

☞ The following are among the many favourable opinions expressed of this

_From L. Meignen, Professor of Music, Philadelphia._
“G. Kingsley,
“Sir,—I have carefully perused the copy of your new work, and
it is with the greatest pleasure that I now tell you that I
have been highly gratified with the reading of many of its
pieces. The harmony throughout is full, effective and correct;
the melodies are well selected and well adapted; and I have no
doubt, that when known and appreciated, this work will be found
in the library of every choir whose director feels, as many do,
the want of a complete reformation in that department of music.
Believe me, dear sir,
“Yours respectfully,
“L. Meignen.”
_From Mr. B. Denman, President of the David Sacred
Music Society, Philadelphia, to George Kingsley._
“Dear sir,—Having examined your ‘Sacred Choir,’ I feel much
pleasure in recommending it as the very best collection of
Church Music I have ever seen. It combines the beauties of
other books of the kind, with some decided improvements in
selection, arrangement and composition, and commends itself
to the choir, the parlour and social circle. Wishing you the
success your valuable and well-arranged work merits, I am, sir,
