SKETCHES FROM VENETIAN HISTORY. By the Rev. E. SMEDLEY, M.A. In 2 vols. 18mo. With Engravings. Few have the knowledge, the time, or the means to explore for themselves the treasures of the Italian chronicles. The author of this work has laid open their stores for the benefit of those to whom the language in which they are written renders them a sealed book-gleaning from them the most characteristic incidents, amusing stories, and anecdotes, while, at the same time, he has sustained all the dignity of historical research; passing lightly over events of minor importance, and reserving himself for those momentous and interesting transactions which require to be more fully displayed. The beauty of the style has been very generally noticed, and has gained the applause of the most sompetent judges.

LIFE OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. By HENRY GLASSFORD BELL, Esq. In 2 vols. 18mo. With a Portrait.

It is now generally admitted that great injus tice has been done to the character of Mary, and that there is good reason to believe her, to say the least, guiltless of the dark offences charged against her. Mr. Bell has undertaken her vindication, and, having investigated the facts with uncommon industry and patience, he has succeeded in establishing a conviction of her entire innocence. The sympathy excited by the story of her beauty and her misfortunes is now heightened by the assurance of her wrongs. Mr. Bell's is considered the most affecting, as well as the most impartial life of Mary that has been written.

AND ABYSSI- MEMOIRS OF THE EM-
PRESS JOSEPHINE.
By
JOHN S. MEMES, LL.D. 18mo.
With Portraits.

There is no country in the world more intersting than that which was known to the ansients as Ethiopia above Egypt," the Nubia and Abyssinia of the present day. It was universally regarded by the poets and philosophers of Greece as the cradle of those arts which at a later period covered the kingdom of the Pharaohs with so many wonderful monuments, as also of those religious rites which, after being slightly modified by the priests of Thebes, were adopted by the ancestors of Homer and Virgil as the basis of their mythology. A description of this remarkable nation, therefore, by the well-known author of the "View of Ancient and Modern Egypt," cannot be otherwise than instructive and highly interesting.

MEMOIRS OF CELEBRATED FEMALE SOVEREIGNS. By Mrs. JAMESON. In 2 vols. 18mo.

The intention of this work is to illustrate the influence which a female government has had generally on men and nations, and that which the possession of power has had individually on the female character. The didactic form of history or biography has not always been adhered to,-incidents and characters are treated rather in a moral than in a political or historical point of view, and public affairs and national events are not dwelt upon, except as connected with the destiny, or emanating from the passions or prejudices of the individual or sovereign. The Lives form an admirable illustra tion of the female character, and the lessons they furnish abound with instruction, while the incidents recorded are interesting, not only in themselves, but as authentic details of remarkable personages whom circumstances or personal qualities have invested with claims to our attention.

Amid the turmoils, the vast achievements, the ambitious aspirings, and the complicated in

trigues which mark the era of Napoleon's greatness, it is refreshing to pursue the elegant and gentle course of Josephine, whose affection for the conqueror and native goodness of heart were so often made the instruments of mercy, and whose persuasive voice was ever ready to interpose between his wrath and its trembling object. Placid in situations peculiarly trying, Josephine preserved her character unsullied, and the story of her life abounds with occasions for the respect and admiration of the reader. The author has performed his task with great ability, and the public is indebted to him for one of the most delightful biographies.

THE LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. By J. G. LOCKHART, Esq. In 2 vols. 18mo. With Portraits.

This celebrated work contains an epitome of all that has been proved to be true concerning the character and actions of the most extraordi nary man of the last thousand years. The Eng lish language possesses no other authentic epitome of his history,-and, notwithstanding the smallness of the limits within which it is compressed, the narrative throughout is clear, dis tinct, and copicus. The life of Napoleon, doubly interesting when relieved of the tedious. ness of useless detail, has never been better told. The work is written with commendable impar. tiality, and the author has been careful to interweave with his narrative all the new illustrations and anecdotes furnished by Bourrienne, and other French writers, whose memoirs have appeared since the publication of the great work of Sir Walter Scott, from which a large portion of his materials was derived. As an evidence of the amazing popularity of this His tory, it is stated that more than 27000 copies of it have been disposed of in Great Britain alone.

LIVES OF THE APOSTLES AND EARLY MARTYRS OF THE CHURCH. By the author of "The Trial of Skill." 18mo..

The style is beautifully simple, and the narrative is interspersed with comments and reflections remarkable for their devout spirit, and for the clearness with which they elucidate whatev. er might appear to the mind either contradictory or unintelligible. It is impossible for any child to read these affecting histories without becoming interested; and the interest is so directed and improved as to implant and foster the purest principles of religion and morality. The most esteemed religious publications throughout the Union have joined in cordial expressions of praise to this work.

THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON; or, Adventures of a Father and Mother and Four Sons on a Desert Island. The Progress of the Story forming a clear Illustration of the first Principles of Natural History, and many Branches of Science which most immediately apply to the Business of Life. In 2 vols. 18mo. With Engravings.

SUNDAY EVENINGS, or, an easy Introduction to the Reading of the Bible. [Designed for Sunday Reading and Sunday-School Libraries.] 3 vols. 18mo. With Engrav ings.

The title of this excellent little work sufficiently explains its object. As an introduction to the knowledge of Scripture History, and an incentive to the study of the Sacred Volume, it is calculated to produce the most happy effects upon the minds of children; and the simplicity of the language preserves to the story all those charms which are inherent in the narrative, but are sometimes lost to very youthful readers by their want of a perfect understanding of the words they read. Besides a developed and connected view, in easy language, of the Scripture story itself, the author has endeavoured to intersperse in the narrative such notices of the countries spoken of, together with such refer. ences to the New Testament and practical remarks, as would tend to make the book either more interesting, more intellectually improving, or more valuable in a moral and religious light: and it cannot fail of obtaining the approbation

of all judicious and pious parents, and of proving by the blessing of God, an assistance to the Christian mother, in giving to her children an early knowledge and love of his Sacred Word.

THE SON OF A GENIUS. A Tale, for the Use of Youth. By Mrs. HoFLAND 18mo. Engravings.

This admirable story has been too long familiar to the public-at least to that portion of it which has advanced beyond the period of childhood-to require either eulogy or description. It has for many years maintained its place among the best and most esteemed juvenile works in the English language; and its popu larity is easily accounted for by the touching interest of the incidents, and the purity of the

The purpose of this pleasing story is to con vey instruction in the arts and Natural History, and, at the same time, to inculcate by example principles which tend to the promotion of social happiness. Every one has heard of Robinson Crusoe, and the unrivalled and long-continued popularity of that admirable narrative, proves that the tastes and feelings to which it addresses itself are among the strongest and most univer-principles it inculcates both of wisdom and resal which belong to human nature. The adventures of the Swiss family are somewhat similar in character, and, of course, in interest; and they illustrate, in the most forcible and pleasing manner, the efficacy of piety, industry, ingenaity, and good-temper, in smoothing difficulties and procuring enjoyments under the most adverse círcumstances. The story abounds with instruction and entertainment, and well deserves

the high encomium that has been passed upon it, of being one of the best children's books

ever written,

THE ORNAMEMTS DISCOVERED. By Mrs. HUGHS. 18mo. Engravings.

The reputation of Mrs. Hughs (of Philadelphia) as an agreeable and instructive writer is already firmly established. She has done much for youth, and the present volume will add to the obligations they owe her. It is written with plainness, yet elegance; and the story, while it inculcates useful lessons in morality and religion, will be found exceedingly interesting.

ligion. The publishers were induced to reprint it, partly by the advice and solicitations of their friends, and their own knowledge of its merits, and partly by the consideration that it has long been out of print, and that it was very difficult to procure a copy.

NATURAL

HISTORY;

or, Uncle Philip's Conversations with the Children about Tools and Trades among the Inferior Animals. 18mo. With numerous Engravings.

This work has deservedly received the highest encomiums, not only for the extent, utility, and interesting nature of the information it conveys, but also for the skill with which the ideas and language are adapted to the tastes as well as the capacities of youthful readers. But these are not its only or its greatest merits: its highest claims to praise are the tone of sincere and earnest piety which pervades the conversations, and the excellence of the precepts drawn from the wonders they disclose.

By Mrs. HorEsq. In 2 vols. 18mo. With 18mo. Engravings. numerous Engravings.

The appearance, character, and habits of the North American Indians have long been a favourite and fertile theme for writers as well as readers, and accurate descriptions of them are equally instructive and agreeable. These form the subject of the present volumes, and they are admitted to contain much correct and interesting information. A larger work, by the same author, entitled "Indian Biography," treats of the history of those remarkable members of the human fumily: the work now under consideration makes no pretensions to that character, but is entirely descriptive; and it is entitled to high praise, not only as being the first attempt to render the subject attractive to general readers, but also for the ability with which the object is accomplished.

TALES FROM AMERI

LAND.

Mrs. Hofland, the admirable author of the "Son of a Genius," and other excellent juvenile productions, is also the writer of this pleasing story. In its plan and objects it is somewhat similar to the Swiss Family Robinson; and, like it, will be read with delight by every boy or girl who can sympathize in the misfortunes, or rejoice in the comforts and enjoyments of another. The style, the incidents, and the pervading spirit are all in the highest degree excellent,-as, indeed, are all the writings of this accomplished and amniable author. The culture of the youthful mind requires talents of a peculiar character; and, when accomplished with ability, reflects the highest credit upon the successful teacher. None have been more successful than Mrs. Hofland; and her name alone is a suffi cient warrant for the merits of any book to which it is appended.

PERILS OF THE SEA; CAN HISTORY. By the being Authentic Narratives of Author of "American Popular Remarkable and Affecting DisLessons." In 3 vols. 18mo.asters upon the Deep. With Engravings.

The writer of these Tales has had in view two chief purposes,-the one to convey to the

juvenile reader a general idea of the incidents connected with the discovery and subsequent history of the American continent; the other to excite an interest in the subject which shall create a desire for more minute and extensive Information. These purposes have been effected with much success, and the volumes will be found instructive and entertaining. In the majority of instances, the Tales have been selected with reference to the illustration of some moral principle and the frequent opportunities af forded for the introduction of reflections leading to the cultivation of piety and religion have been ably and zealously improved. As a school-book, this collection of Historical Tales is calculated to be eminenlty serviceable: and there can be no doubt that their introduction into seminaries will be attended with both pleasure and advantage to the scholars

Preservations. 18mo. Engv'gs.

This collection of remarkable disasters and preservations has been compiled with great care from authentic sources. In making the selection attention has been paid to the combination of interest, with illustrations of piety and fortitude in suffering, and of the power and goodness of Providence in rescuing from destruction when, to all appearance, there were no means or prospect of deliverance. The col. lection embraces narratives of the loss of the Kent, the Empress, the Lady Hobart, the Essex, the Halse well East Indiaman, the steam. packet Rothsay Castle, of five Wesleyan mis sionaries, &c. &c.

In this excellent little work a very difficult task has been undertaken, and successfully ac complished; that of making both attractive and intelligible to the minds of the young, the great and striking evidences by which the truth of our divine religion is established. The manner in which the subject is treated is both novel and ingenious; and so much of narrative is mingled with the argument as to make it not only impressive, but highly interesting.

richly and abundantly supplied, and to excite a desire for more particular information, are the objects of this volume. It is believed that all the indigenous trees which have been ascertained to grow within this portion of the globe are mentioned in it, and the various uses to which the wood or any other portion of the tree is known to be capable of application, are described with as much minuteness as was compatible with the necessary brevity. Considered merely as a catalogue, the work is valuable, and affords a large amount of useful information.
