Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution;

or, Illustrations, by Pen and Pencil, of the History, Biography, Scenery, Relics, and Traditions, of the War for Independence. By BENSON J. LOSSING. 2 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $8 00; Sheep extra, $9 00; Half Calf, $10 00; Morocco, gilt edges, $15 00. Liberal allowances made to those who buy to sell again.

A new and carefully revised edition of this magnificent work is just completed in two imperial octavo volumes of equal size, containing 1500 pages and 1100 engravings. As the plan, scope, and beauty of the work were originally developed, eminent literary men, and the leading presses of the United States and Great Britain, pronounced it one of the most valuable historical productions ever issued in America. The prime object of the author in arranging his plan was to reproduce the history of the American Revolution in such an attractive manner, as to entice the youth of his country to read the wonderful story, study its philosophy and teachings, and to become familiar with the founders of our Republic and the value of their labors. In this he has been eminently successful; for the young read the pages of the Field-Book with the same avidity as those of a romance. Such is the universal testimony of parents who have introduced the work into their families.

Its graphic illustrations have not only a charm as embellishments, but a lasting and intrinsic value as delineations of fact. An analysis shows that these illustrations exhibit 245 portraits, 475 autographs of eminent men, 182 celebrated buildings, 62 maps and plans of battles, fortifications, &c., 46 views of battle-grounds, 102 views of other historical localities, 96 sketches of curious historical objects, 26 fac similes of manuscripts, 27 medals, seals, &c., 46 views of fortifications, sketches of 12 remarkable trees, 76 monuments, 24 old churches, 6 statues, 57 appropriate initial letters, and about a dozen miscellaneous fancy sketches. There are in all 1100 engravings, including 1500 distinct illustrations of objects described in the text. A very elaborate Analytical and ChronologicalIndex has been prepared for each volume, by which the student may readily find any name, event, locality, or fact mentioned in the war. For public and private libraries, for constant reference in families, and as a reading-book in households and schools, it has no superior among the many books offered to the public. Explanatory notes are profusely given upon every page in the volumes, and also a brief biographical sketch of every man distinguished in the events of the Revolution, the history of whose life is known. The Supplement of forty pages contains a History of the Naval Operations of the Revolution; of the Diplomacy; of the Confederation and Federal Constitution; the Prisons and Prison-ships of New York; Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and other matters of curious interest to the student of our history. As a whole, it contains all the essential facts of the early history of our Republic, which are scattered through scores of volumes, often inaccessible to the great mass of readers. It forms a complete Guide-Book to the tourist seeking for fields consecrated by patriotism, which lie scattered over our broad land.

Nothing has been spared to make this Great National Work complete, reliable, and eminently useful to all classes of citizens. Upward of $35,000 were expended in the publication of the first edition. The exquisite wood-cuts, engraved under the immediate supervision of the author from his own drawings, in the highest style of the art, required the greatest care in printing. To this end the efforts of the publishers were directed; and they take great pleasure in presenting these volumes as the best specimen of typography ever issued from the American press.

Lossing's Fine Arts.

Outline History of the Fine Arts; embracing a View of the Rise, Progress, and Influence of the Arts among different Nations, Ancient and Modern, with Notices of the Character and Works of many celebrated Artists. Engravings. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents.

Goodrich's British Eloquence.

Select British Eloquence; embracing the best Speeches entire of the most eminent Orators of Great Britain for the last two Centuries; with Sketches of their Lives, an Estimate of their Genius, and Notes, Critical and Explanatory. By CHAUNCEY A. GOODRICH, D.D., Professor in Yale College. 8vo, Muslin, $3 50; Sheep extra, $3 75; Half Calf, $4 00.

In this carefully prepared volume, we have an important contribution to rhetorical literature. Containing the speeches of the great British orators, which are regarded as the master-pieces of their respective authors; a memoir of each orator, showing the leading events of his public life, and the distinctive characteristics of his oratory; an historical introduction to each of the speeches, explaining the circumstances of the case; the state of parties, and the exact point at issue; an analysis of the longer speeches in side notes; and a large body of critical and explanatory notes, together with translations of the passages quoted from foreign languages; it leaves nothing to be desired as a text-book of the political and forensic eloquence of Great Britain. The copious and valuable memoirs and notices by the editor make this less a compilation than an original work. The manner in which he has performed his task is a model of accurate and thorough editorship. He has omitted nothing which the most exacting student could demand for the elucidation of the subject in hand, without ever being tempted to indulge in superfluous details. A great mass of attractive information is thus presented, and in a style of singular clearness, strength, and elegance. It is rarely that so much profound scholarship, sound judgment, refined taste, and vigorous expression, are devoted to the critical preparation for the press of the standard productions of other writers.

Alison's History of Europe,

From the commencement of the French Revolution, in 1789, to the Restoration of the Bourbons in 1815. In addition to the notes on Chapter LXXVI., which correct the errors of the original work concerning the United States, a copious Analytical Index has been appended to this American edition. 4 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $4 75; Sheep extra, $5 00.

Alison combines the minutest attention to detail, the utmost carefulness in authenticating facts, with the greatest facility in deducing principles and laying them before the reader. His is by far the most remarkable historical work of the century. It exhibits remarkable diligence, and does impartial justice on higher principles than have yet been announced in history.

Alison's History of Europe,

From the Fall of Napoleon, in 1815, to the Accession of Louis Napoleon, in 1852. A New Series. Publishing in Parts, each Part embracing one of the English Volumes. 8vo, Paper, 50 cents per Number.

The merits of Sir Archibald Alison as a historian need not be commented on in order to call attention to this important work. He brings industry, high culture, indefatigable perseverance, an active and elegant mind, and rare powers of description, to the accomplishment of a task in which he evidently takes a cordial delight. Viewing his work as an elaborate digest of the events of the age, accompanied with frequent vivid and expressive portraitures of conspicuous scenes, it must be regarded as a welcome contribution to our resources on European history, and an indispensable aid to the studies of every intelligent reader.

Alison's Life of Marlborough.

Military Life of John, Duke of Marlborough. With Maps. 12mo, Muslin, $1 50.

Alison's Principles of Taste.

Essays on the Nature and Principles of Taste. With Corrections and Improvements, by ABRAHAM MILLS. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. We look upon this as, on the whole, the best and most pleasing work which has yet been produced on the subject of Taste and Beauty. The whole of the book is in no ordinary degree instructive.-Edinburgh Review.

Wilkinson's Ancient Egyptians.

A popular Account of their Manners and Customs, condensed from his larger Work, with some new Matter. Illustrated with 500 Wood-cuts. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $2 00.

In this important work a complete view of Egyptian antiquities is presented, showing the character of the domestic life, political institutions, religious observances, and industrial arts of that remarkable people. It is the product of long and laborious research; it bears the stamp of thoroughness on every page; it is copious without being confused; the descriptive portions are crowded with information, while they are couched in a flowing and attractive style, clothing the hoary and wasted Past in a life-like costume. The volume is illustrated by a multitude of engravings, which make the explanations of the writer perfectly clear to the eye. It will be welcomed by the student of profane history, and no less by the searcher of the Scriptures, as an efficient and most interesting aid in their pursuits.

Burns's Life and Works.

The Life and Works of Robert Burns. Edited by ROBERT CHAMBERS. 4 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $3 00.

Mr. Chambers's edition is the completest presentation of the Scottish poet now, or likely to be hereafter, in existence. The various compositions are here strung in strict chronological order upon the Memoir, that they may render up the whole light which they are qualified to throw upon the history of the life and mental progress of Burns, while a new significancy is given to them by their being read in connection with the current of events and emotions which led to their production. The result of this plan is not merely a great amount of new biographical detail, but a new sense, efficacy, and feeling in the writings of the poet himself.

Haydon's Autobiography.

Life of Benjamin Robert Haydon, Historical Painter, from his Autobiography and Journals. Edited and compiled by TOM TAYLOR, of the Inner Temple, Esq. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, $1 75. This is a work of uncommon interest, describing the artistic career, the personal experience, and the perpetual struggles and difficulties of the celebrated English painter, drawn from his own autobiographical narrative in part, and from his copious journals, with brief editorial comments to preserve the continuity of the story. Haydon was a decided original. His journals give a vivid portraiture of the man, and are marked by deep pathos. They are full of anecdotes of celebrated men, and contain many valuable criticisms upon art. Haydon was in relations with the Duke of Wellington, Lord Brougham, Sir Robert Peel, and other British statesmen, of whom he gives a variety of interesting reminiscences. His anecdotes of Wordsworth, Leigh Hunt, Keats, Shelley, Sir Walter Scott, as well as of several contemporary painters, are attractive features of the book.

Addison's Complete Works.

The Works of Joseph Addison, embracing the whole of the "Spectator." Complete in 3 vols. 8vo, Sheep extra, $4 50.

The superiority of this edition over any other published consists in its convenience of form, its low price, its accuracy, its neatness of mechanical execution, and, above all, its completeness. It comprises not only all the essays, letters, poems, criticisms, tales, descriptions, and dramatic works of Addison, but also the whole of the "Spectator;" this last being a new and very useful arrangement, inasmuch as many of the finest essays, narratives, and characters in that admirable series were contributed jointly by Addison and others. Care has been taken to designate not only the papers contributed by Addison, but also those furnished by each of the other writers, and, in all other respects, the edition of the "Spectator" comprised in these volumes is as complete and perfect as any ever published.

Addison's Spectator.

The Spectator in Miniature. Selections from the Spectator; embracing the most interesting Papers, by ADDISON, STEEL, and others. 2 vols. 18mo, Muslin, 90 cents.

Johnson's Complete Works.

The Works of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. With an Essay on his Life and Genius, by ARTHUR MURPHY, Esq. Portrait of Johnson. 2 vols. 8vo, Sheep extra, $3 00.

This is the only complete edition of Dr. Johnson's works which has been published in this country. It will be found to contain much that is valuable in itself, besides many papers of much curiosity, including every variety of subject which a mind so comprehensive as his might naturally embrace.

As an essayist, Dr. Johnson may be placed upon a par with the writers of the "Spectator." Though his works have long stood the test of public opinion, and been known to the general reader, yet many of them from various causes have not been extensively read. Among these causes may be stated the fact, that some of them have never been published in this country, while others have never been contained in any uniform edition of his works. It may also be added that, so far as the works of Dr. Johnson have been published, the price demanded for them has prevented their coming within the reach of the great mass of readers.

Boswell's Johnson.

The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. Including a Journey to the Hebrides. By JAMES BOSWELL, Esq. A new Edition, with numerous Additions and Notes, by JOHN WILSON CROKER, LL.D., F.R.S. Portrait of Boswell. 2 vols. 8vo, Sheep extra, $3 00. The richest dictionary of wit and wisdom any language can boast of; and its treasures may now be referred to with infinitely greater ease than heretofore. Enlarged and illuminated by the industrious researches and sagacious running criticism of Mr. Croker, it is, without doubt-excepting a few immortal monuments of creative genius-that English book which, were the island to be sunk to-morrow with all its inhabitants, would be most prized in other days and countries by the students "of us and our history."-Quarterly Review.

Demosthenes.

The Orations of Demosthenes. Translated by THOMAS LELAND, D.D. 2 vols. 18mo, Muslin, 85 cents.

Dryden's Complete Works.

The Works of John Dryden, in Verse and Prose. With a Life, by Rev. JOHN MITFORD. 2 vols. 8vo, Sheep extra, $3 00.

No English poet, perhaps no English writer, has attained, as regards expression, such undisputed excellence. A writer who has deeply studied the principles and structure of our language, confesses that Dryden's practical knowledge of the English language was, beyond all others, exquisite and wonderful.

Burke's Complete Works.

The Works of Edmund Burke.

vols. 8vo, Sheep extra, $4 50.

With a Memoir. Portrait. 3

Shakspeare and Burke are, if I may venture on the expression, above talent. Burke was one of the first thinkers as well as one of the greatest orators of his time. He is without any parallel in any age or country, except, perhaps, Lord Bacon and Cicero.-Sir J. Mackintosh.

Burke on the Sublime and Beautiful.

A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful. With an Introductory Discourse concerning Taste. By the Right Hon. EDMUND BURKE. Adapted to popular use, by ABRAHAM MILLS, A.M. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents. Of the character of Burke's admirable treatise on the Sublime and Beautiful, a work that has been so long and thoroughly known, and so highly estimated by all who have any pretensions to letters, it would indeed be superfiuous, at this day, to enter into an examination. In the present edition several improvements have been made. Objectionable passages have been expunged, and a series of questions added.

Miss Beecher's Domestic Economy.

A Treatise on Domestic Economy, for the use of Young Ladies at Home and at School. By Miss CATHERINE E. BEECHER. Revised Edition, with numerous Additions and illustrative Engravings. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents.

This volume is extremely well suited to be used as a text-book in schools for young ladies. It has been examined by the Massachusetts Board of Education, and been deemed worthy by them to be admitted as a part of the Massachusetts School Library. It has also been adopted as a text-book in some of our largest and most popular female schools, both at the East and West.

Miss Beecher's Domestic Receipt Book.

Designed as a Supplement to her Treatise on Domestic Economy. 12mo, Muslin, 75 cents.

An original collection of receipts is here furnished, which embraces a great variety of well cooked dishes for every-day comfort and enjoyment, and only such as have been tested by superior housekeepers, and warranted to be the best. The receipts are expressed in language which is short, simple, and perspicuous, yet all directions are given so minutely, that the book can be kept in the kitchen, and used by any domestic who can read, as a guide in every one of her employments in the kitchen. Directions are also furnished in regard to small dinner-parties and evening company, which will enable any young housekeeper to perform her part on such occasions with ease, comfort, and success.
