*Potter's Manual of Reading.

A Manual of Reading in Four Parts: Orthophony, Class Methods, Gesture, and Elocution. Designed for Teachers and Students.

By H. L. D. POTTER. 12mo, Cloth, $1 00.

This work is prepared with three objects in view: completeness, that nothing be wanting to assist the teacher or student of reading; correctness, that nothing erroneous be learned; and brevity, that its price be within the means of every person desiring it.

To teach reading properly, we must possess the knowledge or avail ourselves of the assistance of the following works, viz.: a work on Calisthenics, or chest development; Orthophony, or voice-training; Elocution, as a science; Gesture, or action; and Rhetoric,

in order to review the selections which are read in class from time to time.

This Manual is intended to combine all the essential qualities of these books.

Part First contains Orthophony, or voice-training, including Calisthenics; Part Second, the most popular and Practical Class Methods, both primary and advanced; Part Third, Gesture; and Part Fourth, Elocution, including a chapter on Rhetoric.-Extract from Preface.

Kinglake's Crimean War.

The Invasion of the Crimea: its Origin, and an Account of its Progress down to the Death of Lord Raglan. By ALEXANDER WILLIAM KINGLAKE. With Maps and Plans. Three Volumes now ready. 12mo, Cloth, $2 00 per vol.; Half Calf, $3 75 per vol.

We have here a work worthy of the author's reputation, and worthy of the labor-the years of laborwhich he has expended upon it. Like the writings of Foster, of Hallam, of Macaulay, there is in every sentence the trace of care-of love for the art of composition, as well as for the subject treated. The reader's judgment may sometimes clash with the author's; but this does not interfere with his admiration for a true work of art.-Quarterly Review, London.

A work which is, in the fullest sense of the word, history.-Athenæum, London.

Miss M. J. McIntosh's Works.

Conquest and Self-Conquest;

Readers will linger with devotion over the fascinating pages of this history. His clear analysis of the causes of the war, his picture of the campaign, the dramatic force which he throws into the story of the battle-field, the triumphant defence of Lord Raglan from the foul calumnies which were heaped upon him -the whole tempered by the calm dignity of a philosophical judgment-are all grand; but if these are the magnetic attractions of the work, the dissection of the character of Napoleon III. is absolutely electrical.-N. Y. Evening Post.

Haweis's Music and Morals.

Music and Morals. 12mo, Cloth, $1 75.

By Rev. H. R. HAWEIS, M.A. With Illustrations and Diagrams.

A book which is full of interest, and may be of great use to a large class of readers. He has grasped his subject with much width and clearness of conception. Music and Morals" is a comprehensive term; and it is made here to convey an elaborate analysis of the connection of music with emotion, as well as some critical comment on its position with reference to individual morality, and to its influence and signifi

cance in society at large. We cannot commend too highly Mr. Haweis's general exposition of the theory of music as the most profound and subtle artistic instrument for expressing emotion. *** We cannot part from him without an expression of sincere thanks for his sound exposition of principle, and his wholesome criticism, often conveyed with great force, sometimes with real beauty as well.-Saturday Review, London.

Haweis's Pet. A Book for Children.

Pet; or, Pastimes and Penalties. By Rev. H. R. HAWEIS, M.A. With 50 Illustrations. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.

This is one of the nicest books ever published, as pretty as a pond-lily, and quite as fragrant. Nothing finer could be imagined than such a combination of fresh pages and fair pictures; and while children will rejoice over it-which is much better than crying for it-it is a book that can be read with pleasure even by bald and bearded boys, and by girls who have beCome grandmothers.-Boston Traveller.

A charming little volume.-Daily News, London.

New Jersey Central Railroad.

It is the relation of a series of incidents in the lives of four children, told with rare ease and naturalness of style, making a most interesting and agreeable child's book. Each one of the little people in it has a distinct character, which is brought out by the different chapters of the story with a skill that can hardly fail to furnish genuine entertainment for the class of readers whom the book addresses.-Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston.

Brougham's Autobiography.

The Life and Times of Henry, Lord Brougham. Written by Himself. 3 vols., 12mo, Cloth, in box, $6 00.

Some persons may have expected to find in Brougham's personal reminiscences strong expressions of feeling against those who had been his opponents. But, on the contrary, there is throughout this volume a genial good-humor, a judicial desire to be impartial, and a calmness in referring to those with whom he had contended, that places him on a higher pedestal of Christian character than he has ever before occupied.-Independent, N. Y.

Sermons of Rev. JOHN SUMMERFIELD, A.M. With an Introduction by Rev. T. E. BOND, M.D. 8vo, Cloth, $2 00; Half Calf, $4 25. Montgomery, after alleging that "Summerfield was a fervent, fearless, and self-sacrificing preacher, the delight of wondering, weeping, and admiring audiences," adds, "On reading his manuscript sermons, in one main point I was disappointed. The sermons of Summerfield are less calculated for instantaneous ef

fect than for abiding usefulness." They are peculiarly characterized by elegance, originality, Scriptural phraseology, and the holy, melting, persuasive eloquence of "words that breathe and thoughts that burn." By powerful arguments they convince the judgment, and by fervent appeals arouse the heart.

Few narratives can equal the story of the Bounty in portraying either the darker crimes or the softer feelings of human nature.

Gillmore's Prairie and Forest.

Prairie and Forest: a Description of the Game of North America, with Personal Adventures in their Pursuit. By PARKER GILLMORE. Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.

There are three classes whom this work will certainly interest-the sportsman, the naturalist, and the general reader. No book that we have yet seen is at once so accurate in its descriptions of game, and so picturesque in its narrative of personal adventure in its pursuit. It is comprehensive, too, for it includes flesh, fish, and birds, from the bison, the moose-deer, and bear, to the wild-turkey, grouse, and wild-duck, Phila

and the brook-trout, bass, and muskallonge

It is spirited, varied, moderate in statement, and has quite a little timely information interspersed between and throughout the racy records of adventures after game.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Very readable, not only for sportsmen, to whom it is primarily addressed, but for all interested in natural history; and even those who are neither sportsmen nor naturalists will find much to attract them in the stories of personal adventure scattered plentifully
