ERRATUM.
Page 42, second column, after twenty-fifth line from top, insert:

sleep, they scarcely retire to rest during the whole period.”

NEW BOOKS,
OF RARE INTEREST AND VALUE,
JUST PUBLISHED BY
JOHN P. JEWETT AND COMPANY,
BOSTON.
Owing to the unparalleled draft upon our resources, during the past
year, on account of the unexampled sale of UNCLE TOM’S CABIN, a large
number of most valuable manuscripts were obliged to lie untouched in our
safe, waiting a favorable moment to appear in print. We have availed
ourselves of the earliest moment, and now offer them to the _readers of
good books_. Most of them are issued. Those still in press will be
published speedily.
THE SHADY SIDE;
OR, LIFE IN A COUNTRY PARSONAGE.
BY A PASTOR’S WIFE.
This volume is designed, in a measure, as a contrast to that charming
little book, _Sunny Side_, and we doubt not that it will meet with quite
as favorable a reception as that work. It is written in an admirable
style, and he who commences its perusal will hardly be able to stop
until he has gone through. Price 75 cents.
COUNT STRUENZEE, THE SCEPTIC AND THE CHRISTIAN.
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY MRS. WILSON.
This most interesting work contains the history of the last days of this
distinguished man, and the account of his numerous interviews and
conversations with his pastor, Munter, through whose instrumentality he
was led to abandon his scepticism, and embrace the religion of Jesus.
Price 62½ cents.
THE LAST HOURS OF CHRIST.
BY W. G. SCHAUFFLER, MISSIONARY AT CONSTANTINOPLE.
A portion of this most admirably written volume of Meditations on the
last hours of our Saviour upon earth was published some years since, and
met with great favor from the religions public. The work has been
re-written, and very much enlarged, and is again offered to the
community. We would not say a word in its commendation to those who have
read the volume as originally published. To those who love to go with
the Redeemer of men, to meditate in the garden of Gethsemane, or upon
the Mount of Olives, or by the Sea of Galilee, this volume will afford a
vein of sacred thought. Price $1.
DR. BEECHER’S THIRD VOLUME.
We have just issued the third volume in the series of the writings of
this venerable and eloquent man, as has been lately said of him by some
one, “_the father of more brains than any other man in the country_.”
This volume contains his VIEWS OF THEOLOGY, and his celebrated Trial for
Heresy before the Presbytery and Synod of Cincinnati. With a _superb
steel Portrait_, by Andrews. Price $1. _No clergyman’s library is
complete_ without Dr. Beecher’s writings.
WHITE SLAVERY IN THE BARBARY STATES.
BY HON. CHARLES SUMNER, U. S. S.
ILLUSTRATED BY 40 SUPERB DESIGNS BY BILLINGS, ENGRAVED BY BAKER, SMITH
AND ANDREWS.
This superb volume in its typography and illustrations, and elegant in
its composition, being one of the finest productions of its accomplished
author, is offered to the public in this most attractive form, with the
hope that thousands may peruse its glowing pages, and from them receive
fresh stimulus in their efforts to elevate humanity from degradation and
wrong. They will learn from it that in years past _white men_ as well as
blacks have felt the galling yoke of slavery. Price 50 cents.
JUDGE JAY’S WRITINGS ON SLAVERY.
_In one volume, 12mo, with a Portrait._ Price $1.
Who has rendered more efficient services to the cause of humanity than
the venerable Judge Jay? His collective writings will be among the very
best contributions to the anti-slavery literature of the country.
PHILOSOPHY OF MYSTERIOUS RAPPINGS;
OR, THE DYNAMIC LAWS AND RELATIONS OF MAN
BY DR. E. C. ROGERS.
A learned and philosophical exposure of the modern belief in Spiritual
Manifestations, showing, most conclusively, that we need not go to the
spirit world to account for those things, but that they can all be
explained by human agency, and upon philosophical principles. Let the
believers in Spiritual Rappings read this able and conclusive work.
Price $1.
THE TRIAL BY JURY.
BY LYSANDER SPOONER.
We need not inform the public that any work from Mr. Spooner’s pen would
be one of great research and learning—his logical acuteness as a writer
is too well known. This, his last, and perhaps his greatest effort, on
the Trial by Jury, is destined to create a commotion in the world.
Jurymen will learn their rights and duties from it, and also learn to
what an alarming extent their rights have been encroached upon. We
bespeak for this able treatise a candid perusal. Price $1.25 in cloth;
$1.50 in law sheep.
GERMAN UNCLE TOM.
TRANSLATED BY PROFESSOR HUTTEN.
_One volume, octavo. Price 50 cts._
The English language has been exhausted in praise of this unrivalled
tale; and this translation into the German language we believe will be
as popular among the large German population in this country.
BOOK OF 1000 ANECDOTES:
HUMOROUS, GRAVE AND WITTY.
BY M. LAFAYETTE BYRN, M. D.
There are hours when men need relaxation from the sterner labors of
life, both bodily and mental. In these seasons, such a volume as the
above is a desirable companion, and affords that relief which the mind
needs. Price $1.
A KEY TO UNCLE TOM’S CABIN.
BY MRS. H. B. STOWE.
A work which will most thoroughly establish the truth of every statement
in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and a good many _not_ in that work. Price 50
cents.
GIDDINGS’ SPEECHES.
The Congressional Speeches of this distinguished and uncompromising
anti-slavery veteran, who is still battling nobly with the powers of
darkness. Complete in one volume, 12mo. With a Portrait. Price $1.
KEY TO UNCLE TOM, IN GERMAN.
This work is now being translated into German by one of our best German
scholars, and will be issued soon after the publication of the English
edition. Price 50 cents.
WRITINGS OF PROF. BELA B. EDWARDS, D. D.
BY REV. PROF. PARK, D. D. WITH A MEMOIR, BY DR. PARK.
This work, which has been unavoidably delayed, will be issued in two
volumes, 12mo, about the first of April.
The numerous admirers of Dr. Edwards will hail with pleasure this
announcement. The collected writings of such a man are an invaluable
contribution to our literature, more particularly when compiled by so
ripe a scholar as Dr. Park. The memoir glows with all the fervid
enthusiasm of the editor. Price $2.50.
COMPLETE ENCYCLOPÆDIA OF MUSIC.
BY JOHN W. MOORE.
Assisted by JOHN S. DWIGHT, Esq., the learned and accomplished Editor of
_The Journal of Music_.

compiled before, either in this country or in England. It will be a
complete DICTIONARY OF ALL MUSICAL TERMS; a HISTORY OF THE SCIENCE OF
MUSIC, from the earliest times to the present; a TREATISE ON HARMONY AND
THOROUGH BASS; a DESCRIPTION OF ALL KNOWN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, and a
complete MUSICAL BIOGRAPHY, containing a succinct memoir of more than
=3000= of the most distinguished musical celebrities and composers who
have ever lived. To be comprised in _one large royal 8vo. volume_, of
about 1000 pages, double columns. To be published during the summer.
