15.-Pencilings by the Way; Written during some years of Residence and Travel in Europe. By N. PARKER WILLIS. 12mo., pp. 527. New York: Charles Scribner, A few months after Mr. Willis returned to this country from "Residence and Trav el in Europe," the London Quarterly Review came out with a severe criticism on these "Pencilings by the Way," which were originally published in the New York Mirror. Five editions of the work, some finely illustrated and very expensive, have been published in England, and as many more in this country. Like everything from the uniquely graceful and graphic pen of Willis, these letters will ever be regarded with favor by all who can appreciate a clever writer, who has no successful imitator. 16.-Fresh Gleanings; or a New Sheaf from the Old Fields of Continental Europe. By IK MARVEL. 12mo., pp. 336. New York: Charles Scribner. A new and beautiful edition of the first of Ik Marvel's inimitable works, it will bear favorable comparison with either of the later productions of his piquant and quaintly polished pen. 17.-Hearts Unveiled: or, “I knew you would like him." By S. E. SAYMORE. 12mo, pp. 300. New York: D. Appleton & Co. If it be to the commendation of a tale that it should be truthful and natural, that the scenes should possess spirit and life, and that, while it enlists the feelings, it should furnish matter for thought and reflection, then this is entitled to high praise. It is written in an agreeable and pleasant style, and will greatly entertain and gratify the thoughtful reader. 18.-Gaieties and Gravities. By HORACE SMITH. 12mo., pp. 300. New York: D. Appleton & Co. This charming volume forms number five of Appleton's unrivalled series of cheap and readable books. The gaieties are quite gay, while the gravities are only so far calm and sedate as to make the variety in the volume most agreeable. 19.-The Use of Sunshine. By S. M., authoress of the "Maiden Aunt," 12mo., pp. 348. New York: D. Appleton & Co. One of those retired corners of Ireland's green shore is the place where the scenes of this tale are located. Its characters are rich in the qualities of the heart, whether the simple Irish or the more cultivated English visitors. It is written with a charming pen, and will amply repay the reader by the entertainment of its pages. 20.-The Assayer's Guide; or Practical Directions to Assayers, Miners, and Smelters for the Tests and Assays by Heat, and by Wet Processes, of the Ores of all the Principal Metals, and of Gold and Silver Coins and Alloys. By OSCAR M. LIEBER. 16mo., pp. 117. Philadelphia: Henry C. Baird. This little work is very brief, but it contains a large amount of practical and useful information on the subject of assaying or detecting the nature of minerals and ores. Its instructions are very simple, and can readily be apprehended. 21.—Norris's Hand Book for Locomotive Engineers and Machinists: Comprising the Proportions and Calculations for Constructing Locomotives, Manner ef Setting Valves, Tables of Squares, Cubes, Areas, &c. By SEPTIMUS NORRIS. 12mo, pp. 302. Philadelphia: Henry C. Baird., In these pages are presented the results of the author's experience as a practical machinist during twenty years. Of course it contains details which cannot be learned elsewhere, except in the machine-shop, or from the mechanic himself. To practical men, therefore, it must possess more than ordinary value. 22.-The Art Journal for March and April. New York & London: Geo. Virtue, No publication surpasses in elegance, taste, and artistic execution the polish of these pages. The style of printing, the paper, and the engravings are of the first order, and executed by the most skillful hands. The engravings in these numbers areThe Tambourine," from an engraving in the Vernon Gallery; "The Newspaper," from the same quarter; and also "The Casement;" a Hebe," from the statue by Canova. The smaller engravings and cuts represent specimens by the first masters, and are exceedingly numerous. The contents of the text treat chiefly of subjects of art, its progress, condition, &c. 23.-Kenneth; a Romance of the Highlands. By G. W. M. REYNOLDS. With numerous Engravings. 8vo., pp. 313. New York: H. Long & Brothers. 24.-Men and Women of the Eighteenth Century. By ARSENE HOUSSAYE. 2vols., 12mo., pp. 454 and 448. New York: J. S. Redfield. This picture of the men and women of France in the brilliant period of the eigteenth century is drawn by a graphic hand. Some of the characters presented to the reader are Dufresny, Fontenelle, Piron, Diderot, Louis XV., Marie Antoinette, Crebillon, Buffon, Madame de Pompadour, Duneount, &c., with many other of the poets and wits of those days. The work contains nothing like serious and grave narrative; it abounds in anecdotes, brilliant sallies, and gems of wit, which render it exceedingly lively and entertaining. In a word, these are rare volumes, and the view which they present of French manners and accomplishments at that period can scarcely fail to instruct and gratify all readers. 25.-Isa. A Pilgrimage. By CAROLINE CHESEBORO. 12mo., pp. 320. New York: J. S. Redfield. Few female writers of the present day can wield a more smooth and graceful pen than this author. In the volume before us she has departed somewhat from her usual light, airy, and fanciful sketches, and delineated the progress or pilgrimage of a strong and sensitive mind from its earliest period to its fullest development in knowledge. We hardly like the character drawn, and think it somewhat unnatural; still, as a conception of a gifted mind, it is well worthy of contemplation. 26.-The Confessions of an Attorney. By GUSTAVUS SHARP, Esq. To which is added several papers on English Law and Lawyers. By CHARLES DICKENS. 12mo., pp. 228. New York: Cornish & Lamport. Tales and stories which will take hold of the feelings of those who have not before read them. They describe many of those keen and afflicting scenes in which the reverses of fortunes exert so much influence. They are issued in a very tine style by the publishers. The paper is clear and white, the type open and distinct, and the whole appearance of the volume is very neat and tasteful. 27.-The Recollections of a Policeman. By THOMAS WATERS, an Inspector of the London Detective Corps. 12mo., pp. 240. New York: Cornish & Lamport. Many of these "Recollections" have appeared in the newspapers, but they are so graphically written, and possess such a thrilling interest as to render them worthy of publication in a more permanent form. 28.-The Experience of a Barrister. By WARREN WARNER, of the Inner Temple, 12mo., pp. 240. New York: Cornish & Lamport. The experience of a criminal must present many of the dark and fearful phases of human life. In these pages the reader will find depicted with intense interest many of those scenes in which all the powers for good or evil are earnestly at work. 29.-Whateley's Selection of English Synonyms. First American Edition, from the second London. 12mo., pp. 179. Boston: J. Munroe & Co. It has not been the design in these pages to notice all the synonyms of the English language, but to select a few of those groups which are in most frequent use, and are most liable to be confounded. For a clear and full understanding of the force and meaning of these, the reader will find here great assistance. Archbishop Whately's reputation as a critical scholar is a sufficient recommendation of the work. 30.-The Christian Doctrine of Forgiveness of Sin. An Essay. By JAMES F. CLARKE' 12mo., pp. 170. Boston: Crosby & Nichols. In the statement of the question before him the author of this volume somewhat enlarges the general idea of the subject, and then proceeds to consider the "forgiveness of sin" under the aspect of its "nature-conditions-obstacles-results." He writes with vigor and spirit, and there is striking thought and new phases of truth in its pages. 31-Thorpe, a Quiet English Town, a Human Life Therein. By WILLIAM MOUNTFORD. 12mo., pp. 390. Boston: Ticknor, Reed & Fields. As a tale, this is worthy of a far higher estimate than those which usually issue from the press. It describes to the life the scenes of an English town; but what is more important, it is full of thought and suggestive to the reader's mind; and while it abounds in those characteristics which make up an interesting story, it is worthy of a high place from its intrinsic merits. 32.-Bankers' Magazine Edited by J. SMITH HOMANS. 8vo., pp. 83. Boston: J. S. Homans. In the May number we have a continuation of the essay which received the prize of £100 offered by JAMES WILLIAM GILBART, the General Manager of the London and Westminster Bank. It is entitled "The Adaptation of Recent Inventions to the Purposes of Practical Banking," by Granville Sharp, of Norwich, England. It was origi. nally published in the London Bankers' Magazine. The present number also contains the eighth chapter of Lawson's History of Banking and Bankers, (an English work reviewed at some length in the Merchants' Magazine,) which will, we learn, be published by Messrs. Gould & Lincoln as soon as its reprint in the Bankers' Magazine is completed. There is also in the number a Sketch of the History of Savings Banks in England, and a very elaborate collection of the decisions of the Supreme Court of Vermont upon bills of exchange, etc. If Mr. Homans would devote his journal more to American banking, we think it would be more acceptable to the class of persons in this country interested in banking. 33.-Claret and Olives; from the Garonne to the Rhone. By Amos B. REACH. 12mo., pp. 235. New York: G. P. Putnam. The seventh number of Putnam's admirable library of cheap and good books cODsists of lively, entertaining, and instructive sketches of a trip through the wine and olive districts of France. A more pleasant tour the reader can scarcely find to peruse. This library is worthy of universal patronage. 34.-Horse Shoe Robinson: A Tale of the Tory Ascendency. By JOHN P. KENNEDY. Revised edition. 12mo., pp. 598. New York: G. P. Putnam. An edition of this graphic tale of the revolution was issued some ten years since for the first time. It is now revised, after being well received by the public during the intervening period, and issued in a handsome style. It is an exceedingly interesting story, and will be greatly admired by all readers who have sympathy with the events of our Revolutionary War. 35.—A Buckeye Abroad; or Wanderings in Europe and the Orient. By SAMUEL S. Cox. 12mo. New York: G. P. Putnam. A lively and entertaining work. The author writes with that spirit and vigor which characterize the Western man; and he sees things closely, and detects their merits as well as deformities; he is free from the unnatural admiration of old absurdities, and depicts the follies of Europe and Europeans in truthful colors. 36.-Queechy. By ELIZABETH WETHERELL. 2 vols. 12mo., pp. 410 and 396. New York: G. P. Putnam. Whatever may come from the pen of the graphic author of " Wide, Wide World," is sure to find readers. These volumes are issued in succession after that work. We hardly think they possess the novelty of story and vigorous and active liveliness which characterize the former. Still they are worthy to be classed among the most interesting tales of the day. 37.-Hood's Own; Selected Papers. With wood cuts. 12mo., pp. 239. No. 5. New York: G. P. Putnam. These two volumes form the fourth and fifth numbers of Putnam's Semi-Monthly Library. The one is grave, the other humorous. No better selection could be made for the entertainment of the public, nor cheaper than what is offered in this series. 38.-Fancies of a Whimsical Man. By the author of "Musings of an Invalid." 12mo., pp. 281. New York: John S. Taylor. The "Musings of an Invalid," by the same writer, were well received by careful and judicious critics, and are slowly but surely gaining for their unknown author an enviable reputation. The present work will, we predict, secure a still wider popularity, and be more acceptable to that class of readers who appreciate well-drawn and faithful strictures of the fashionable foibles of modern society, written in a forcible, piquant style. 39.-Journal of a Poor Vicar. Translated from the German of ZсHOKKE. New York: John S. Taylor. A beautiful translation of one of Zchokke's inimitable stories, o'erflowing with the admirable peculiarities of the warm, pure heart of a German genius. Agric'l. Warehouses, STATE Block Letters. F.
