PRISON LIFE IN THE SOUTH: At Richmond, Macon, Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh, Goldsborough, and Andersonville, during the Years 1864 and 1865. By A. O. ABBOTT, late Lieutenant 1st New York Dragoons. Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, Beveled Edges, $2 00. From the N. Y. Daily Times. The book exhibits all the various phases of rebel treatment of their prisoners. Its revelations are almost too painful for general reading, and with the illustrations form a picture that must never be forgotten. Lieutenant Abbott's book is indispensable to a comprehension of the spirit in which war was waged by our adversaries. From the N. Y. Express. One of the most vivid and thrilling histories of the late war yet written. A simple story is told, which is more powerful from its simplicity. From the Philadelphia Press. No other work has more tangibly impressed us with the reality of what our captured citizen-soldiers suffered from rebel barbarity than this "Prison Life in the South." From the Brooklyn Times. . Told in simple but effective language, the history of the sufferings at the Libby, at Macon, at Columbia, and other places, is harrowing in the extreme, but on every page bears internal marks of authenticity. From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. This handsomely illustrated volume is a tale of terrible trial and suffering, of brutal persecution, and of the manifold attempts to break prison. These personal narratives fill out the bare skeletons of official detail, and verify the horrible stories that are in circulation in regard to rebel cruelty. From the Union, Springfield, Mass. A valuable contribution to the literature of the war. It is a stern arraignment of the rebel authorities and rebel prison-keepers. THE STORY OF THE GREAT MARCH: Diary of General Sherman's Campaign through Georgia and the Carolinas. By Brevet Major GEORGE WARD NICHOLS, Aid-de-Camp to General Sherman. With a Colored Map and numerous Illustrations, and an Appendix, containing Major-General SHERMAN'S Official Report of his Campaign, and Quartermaster and Commissary Reports, &c. 12mo, Cloth, Beveled Edges, $2 00. DR. R. SHELTON MACKENZIE, In the Philadelphia Press, of November 21st, 1865, makes the following comparison between Major NICHOLS's "Story of the Great March" and another account of the March recently published without Maps or Illustrations: "The description of Sherman's March to the Sea, as given here (in Captain Conyngham's book), is by no means as good as that by Major Nichols. Of course, an experienced officer knew more and wrote better of that great military exploit than such a mere amateur as a newspaper reporter acting as volunteer aid-de-camp." London Illustrated Times. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL HAZEN. "For freshness and piquancy of style, for accuracy of statement, and for clear delineation of the characteristics of the country and people, there has been no book published upon the war equal to Major NICHOLS's 'Story of the Great March.' W. B. HÁZEN, Mujor-General.” From the New York Times. Never did a book appear more opportunely abroad than Colonel Nichols's "Story of the Great March," lately issued by Messrs. Harpers. The only accounts accessible of Sherman's grand achievement were derived from the newspapers, and from them it was impossible to form a connected idea of this great military movement. Colonel Nichols, in his unaffected diary of each day's occurrences, supplied just the information that was wanted better than a mere technical book could have done, and the result is that Sherman is now lifted high on a pinnacle of science that places him above any living commander by the unanimous voice of the English journalists. ENGLISH OPINIONS. We have enjoyed the perusal of this work greatly, which, making due allowance for the author's enthusiasm, and for the fact that he wrote under the influence of all the excitement of the war, can not fail to be both instructive and amusing. The map and illustrations to the book are excellent; the engravings especially are exceedingly well printed, and add greatly to the elegance of an otherwise well got up volume. London Athenæum. The best merit of a book like Major Nichols's is, that it offers us a glimpse of the daily life of men in the camp, as well as a record of great events. We like to sit by the pine log and see how the Boston poet and the Western farmer play at the game of warcatching. mayhap, at pictures which help us to understand the camp life of our own great civil wars. London Spectator. An excellent little volume, useful not merely or chiefly to the military student, but useful to the general reader. It is a valuable contribution to history, having the merit of entertaining as well as enlightening a contemporary reading public. Pall Mall Gazette. With this novel bit of description we lay down one of the most interesting books which have as yet been written upon the war. London Examiner. This "Story of the Great March" may fairly take rank in the category to which the works of the ancient Greek and the modern Gaul belong-the conclusion to which it points being of equal importance to the time to which it relates.

TICKNOR AND FIELDS will begin the publication of a weekly journal, entitled EVERY SATURDAY, A JOURNAL OF CHOICE READING, Selected from Foreign Current Literature. Much of the best literature of the day is found in the English and Continental magazines and periodicals, and it is the design of the Publishers of this new journal to reproduce the choicest selections from these for American readers, in a form at once attractive and inexpensive. The Publishers believe that such a journal, conducted upon the plan which they propose, will be not only entertaining and instructive in itself, but interesting and valuable as a reflex of foreign periodical literature of the better class. EVERY SATURDAY is intended for Town and Country, for the Fireside, the Seaside, the Railway, and the Steamboat. Its plan embraces Incidents of Travel and Adventure, Essays Critical and Descriptive, Serial Tales, Short Stories, Poems, Biographies, Literary Intelligence, etc. in connection with judicious selections from the admirable popular papers on Science which are constantly appearing in foreign periodicals. The value of these papers will consist in the fact that in them scientific subjects, however harsh and dry in themselves, are treated in so graphic and picturesque a style as to charm the reader while instructing him. It will be, in short, the aim of its Publishers that EVERY SATURDAY shall commend itself by its freshness and variety to all classes of intelligent and cultivated readers. EVERY SATURDAY will contain each week THIRTY-TWO LARGE OCTAVO PAGES, handsomely printed in double columns, with an engraved title. Single Numbers, 10 cents. TERMS.
