Russell's Modern Europe.

History of Modern Europe, with a View of the Progress of Society, from the Rise of Modern Kingdoms to the Peace of Paris in 1763. By W. RUSSELL. With a Continuance of the History, by WM. JONES. Engravings. 3 vols. 8vo, Sheep, $4 50; Half Calf, $5.50.

The history of modern Europe, by Dr. Russell, has always been prized for its comprehensiveness. It includes the most important period in the annals of mankind, as the author's narrative introduces the era when the renovation of society commenced, after the protracted continuance of that mental gloom which, during several centuries, covered the civilized world. Says Chambers of this work, "It is a production at once so succinct, yet so perspicuous, comprehensive, and entertaining, that all rivalry appears to be precluded."

History of the Church, from the earliest Ages to the Reformation. By Rev. GEORGE WADDINGTON, M.A. 8vo, Muslin, $1 75.

The work was expressly written for and published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowlepge, a sufficient guarantee for value and soundness of opinion, even had not the amazing sale of above one hundred thousand copies in England given it the surest proof of general approbation.

The primary object of this interesting narrative of a tour among the newly. opened cities of China has been to explore the ground, and exhibit the real condition of the country at the present day. The work is especially valuable as supplying important data for rightly estimating the moral, social, and political condition of that peculiar people. In addition to the above, Mr. Smith's connection with the existing British missionary operations in the Chinese Empire has enabled him to collect a valuable store of information respecting that interesting religious enterprise. The embellishments to the work are unusually effective, novel, and interesting.
