This is the first complete American edition of the works of the great Poet, Philosopher, and Theologian. It is of a very convenient size and shape, and got up on good paper and with clear type, and at a price to bring the whole within the most moderate means. The editor's truly valuable Introduction, when taken together with the masterly essay of Dr. Marsh, places the edition far above any other, not excepting the one in England published by Coleridge's daughter. It ought to find its way into every well selected library in this country.

In itself the work is inestimable; but the last London edition having been prepared for publication by four distinguished barristers of England who, after each taking a volume of the Commentaries for service, have added copious notes to the text, explaining changes in the law which have been effected in England by decision or statute, down to the year 1844. To the work thus prepared have been added notes, adapting it to the use of the American student, to show the law as it exists in this country under our institutions, and also to point out the diversities of the Common Law, as held in England and in this country, in the few instances in which a difference prevails.

The Orator's Touchstone;

or, Eloquence Simplified. Embracing a Comprehensive System of Instruction for the Improvement of the Voice, and for Advancement in the general Art of Public Speaking. By HUGH M'QUEEN. 12mo, Muslin, 90 cents.

From the pen of a gentleman who has had great experience in the department of popular and forensic eloquence. He here presents the results in a practical and highly attractive form. His book is not a mere collection of dry abstract rules and precepts, but is marked by a warm glow of vitality, which is eloquence in itself. A more original and suggestive work on the subject has never been produced.

The Boyhood of Great Men.

By JOHN G. EDGAR, Author of "The Footprints of Famous Men" and "History for Boys." With Illustrations. 16mo, Muslin, 60 eents.

The child is father to the man, and few great men have ever lived whose boyhood did not give abundant promise of their future eminence. In this volume is given the early life of about fifty of the greatest men whom the world has ever known. They comprise poets and philosphers, sailors and soldiers, painters and sculptors, lawyers and divines, musicians and scholars. More instructive and cheering examples than are contained in these early biographies it would not be possible to find. The boy who reads them without being roused to emulation must be dull indeed.

The Footprints of Famous Men.

By JOHN G. EDGAR, Author of "The Boyhood of Great Men" and "History for Boys." With Illustrations. 16mo, Muslin, 60 cents. A popular view of the history of several eminent characters, arranged under the heads of Men of Action, Men of Letters, Artists, and Men of Science. Among the persons whose biography is briefly related are Washington, Burke, Pitt, Southey, Moore, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir Francis Chantrey, Adam Smith, and others. The work sets forth examples of distinguished excellence, which it commemorates in an attractive and encouraging form, with a variety of illustrations, suited to make a pleasing impression on the youthful mind. At the same time, the accurate biographical information which it contains, together with its sound and discriminating comments on eminent public characters, commends it to the attention of all classes of readers. It is one of those books which, on account of its condensation of facts and its popular style, should find a place in every family library.

History for Boys;

or, Annals of the Nations of Modern Europe. By JOHN G. EDGAR, Author of "The Boyhood of Great Men" and "The Footprints of Famous Men." With Illustrations. 16mo, Muslin, 60 cents. The annals of the modern European nations are here narrated in a concise and agreeable style, somewhat resembling Scott's Tales of a Grandfather. The narrative is remarkably compact without being obscure from its brevity. The language is not let down to the supposed level of a child's comprehension, but, while it is animated, it is uniformly chaste and dignified. It is a good book for beginners in the study of history of all ages. It would be valuable in families as a convenient book of reference, as well as in schools.

As a mere narrative, this book will abundantly repay perusal; but considered in the light of the information presented, it becomes very valuable and important. It presents the impressions of an American traveler on the condition of affairs at the Hawaiian Islands during the year 1853. The author gives a lively, and apparently a truthful description of scenes that came under his own observation, illustrative of the peculiar manners and customs of the natives. An intelligent correspondent in the Sandwich Islands pronounces the work "the most important and correct view of the islands, as they now are, that has appeared from the American press."

Wood's Natural History.

With 450 Engravings, designed expressly for this Work, by HARVEY. Square 12mo, Muslin, $1 50.

This work presents the subject of Natural History in a manner suited to interest and instruct the general mass of readers. It combines accuracy of information and systematic arrangement with brevity and simplicity of treatment. The materials of the work are derived from personal experience, from the most recent zoological writers, and from the private communications of well-informed travelers in almost every portion of the world. The descriptive portions in the various branches of Natural History are marked by vividness and simplicity: numerous original anecdotes are introduced, illustrative of animal habits and peculiarities, in connection with scientific details, and a great variety of spirited engravings give a life-like aspect to the whole volume. It possesses equal interest for juvenile and for mature readers.

Leather Stocking and Silk;

or, Hunter John Myers and his Times. A Story of the Valley of Virginia. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00.

Without a trace of the audacity and extravagance which are so much in vogue with many recent American writers of fiction, this unique story of Virginia life quietly winds its way to the heart of the reader, by its simple touches of nature, its gentle pathos, and the admirable harmony and fidelity of its coloring. The author has a rare perception of the capacities of character for dramatic effect.N. Y. Tribune.

The Old House by the River.

By the Author of "The Owl Creek Letters." 12mo, Muslin, 75

cents.

This work consists of a series of highly agreeable sketches illustrating the oddities and delights of American life amid rural scenes and summer pastimes. The sketches are all conceived from the stand-point of an introvertive mind, tenacious of old fancies and affections. The object of the book is clearly to excite attention toward the past and its attachments. There is a freshness and beauty in the details that come from the heart and reach the heart of the reader.

Later Years.

By the Author of "The Old House by the River." 12mo, Muslin, $1 00.

"Later Years," like "The Old House by the River," consists of sketches, legends, descriptive essays, and the like. It is distinguished by the same sweetness and pathos of sentiment, the same picturesqueness and vigor of description, and the same graceful flow of diction, which have won such a flattering welcome to former productions of the author. He has made his place good among our most natural and forcible writers on rural scenes, and the present work will enhance his enviable reputation. Though selecting prose as his medium for expression, he has the eye and the heart of a poet, and his words will always find an echo among readers of a poetical tempernment.

Sallust's Jugurthine War.

History of the Jugurthine War, and of the Conspiracy of Catiline. Translated by WILLIAM ROSE, A.M. Portrait. 18mo, Muslin, 40 cents.

Thomas's Farm Implements,

and the Principles of their Construction and Use; an Elementary and Familiar Treatise on Mechanics, and on Natural Philosophy generally, as applied to the ordinary Practices of Agriculture. With 200 Illustrations. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00.

Obviously this is a book which every intelligent farmer must desire to possess. Written with great clearness and simplicity, and with an avoidance of technical terms and phrases, it would be useful to all classes, on account of its scientific information. The late Mr. Downing, in a review of the first edition of the work, observed: "We should like to see this work printed, bound, and hung up in every work-shop, tool-room, and farmer's book-shelf in the country. It gives the reasons and explains the action of mechanical powers, and the forces of nature generally, with illustrations so directly drawn from the farmer's daily routine, that it gives a direct meaning and value to every point rarely found in text-books."

Utah and the Mormons.

The History, Government, Doctrines, Customs, and Prospects of the Latter-day Saints. From personal Observation during a Six Months' Residence in Great Salt Lake City. By BENJAMIN G. FERRIS, late Secretary of Utah Territory. With numerous Illustrations. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00.

This is the fullest and most reliable account that has been published of the history, government, doctrines, customs, and prospects of the Latter-day Saints. The author resided in the valley of the Great Salt Lake for six months, during which time he had ample opportunities to examine the customs and institutions of the eccentric people who claim to be the chosen saints of the "latter days." The historical details which he has gathered and embodied in this volume are quite complete and full of interest. Tracing the progress of the extraordinary imposture from the pretended discovery of the Golden Plates of the Book of Mormon to the present formidable industrial, social, and missionary organization, he describes the portentous steps of folly and crime by which the followers of the miscreant, JOSEPH SMITH, have attained their actual position in the public eye.

The Mother and her Offspring.

By STEPHEN TRACY, M.D., formerly Missionary Physician of the A.B.C.F.M. to China. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00.

A book designed for young married women. It is strictly scientific, and at the same time popular in its character, presenting in an attractive form just the information which such persons desire and need. Dr. Tracy is a scientific and skillful physician, who has an inquiring, observing, and discriminating mind; and he has had more than ordinary opportunities for learning the wants of those for whom he writes, and to meet them successfully. His book can not fail to exert a healthful influence.

Armenia and Erzeroom.

A Year on the Frontiers of Russia, Turkey, and Persia. By the Hon. ROBERT CURZON. With Map and Wood-cuts. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00.

A most interesting work on Erzeroom and Trebizond, with very many incidental illustrations of the principles of Russian government. Mr. Curzon's descriptions of men and manners are always good; and his book is fresh, readable, varied, and informing, conveying by its minute pictures of daily life, and its sketches of the country, an apparently truthful idea of Armenia.

Twenty Years in the Philippines.

By PAUL P. DE LA GIRONIERE.

Revised and Extended by the Author expressly for this Translation. Engravings. 12mo, Muslin, $1 00.

A spicy narrative of a life of strange and romantic adventures in the farthest East. The author is a Frenchman of education and ability, who, thrown upon the shores of the Philippine Islands at an early age, takes up his residence among the natives, becomes a sort of Oriental potentate among the barbarians, devotes himself to the welfare of his unique colonies, and at the close of twenty years sets about recording his marvelous career for the benefit of his contemporaries. In a style of uncommon freshness and naivete, he relates the thousand-and-one odd in cidents of his life-many of which are droll enough in all conscience-though their truth is attested by the incidental statements of European and American naval officers, who were familiar with the proceedings of the self-inaugurated monarch. His narrative is, moreover, replete with an endless variety of curious and valuable information, and throws much light on a state of society of which, in this western world, we usually have but the faintest conception.

American Principles on National Prosperity.

A Thanksgiving Sermon preached in the First Presbyterian Church, Elizabethtown, November 23, 1854. By KIRWAN. 8vo, Paper, 10 cents.

Parish and other Pencilings.

By KIRWAN. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents.

The effective pen of the famous anti-Catholic polemic is every where to be recognized in this racy volume. A large portion of the work is devoted to familiar narratives, illustrating the leading truths of religion by examples drawn from real life. Among the most interesting papers in the collection are sketches of the Rev. Ashbel Green, Dr. Alexander, and Dr. Miller, which comprises a variety of personal recollections of those eminent men, and exhibit a freshness of feeling and sincerity of admiration which make them valuable specimens of biographical composition. The writings of Kirwan have already gained an extensive popularity, and must always command the attention of the public by their vehement expression of opinion, their glowing religious spirit, and their robust natural eloquence.

Romanism at Home.

Letters to the Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief-Justice of the United States. By KIRWAN. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents.

Men and Things

as I saw them in Europe. By KIRWAN. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. A lively and interesting work of travels, written in a vigorous and attractive style, which is quite sure to secure readers where an ordinary tourist would fail to get attention. The author is an accurate and close observer, and his volume furnishes evidence that he knows what to observe and what will be likely to prove interesting to the general reader. It is not like an ordinary "book of travels."

Letters to Bishop Hughes.

By KIRWAN. Revised and Enlarged Edition. 12mo.
