ABBOT. MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES.
Their Mutual Relations and Common Interests. With
Portraits on Steel of Juarez and Romero. By Gorham
D. Abbot, LL.D. 8vo, cloth, $3.50.
“This volume deserves the careful study of all true patriots. It has been prepared
with great care, from the most authentic sources; and it probably furnishes the
materials for a better understanding of the real character and aims of modern
Romanism than any other volume extant.”
—Congregationalist.
AUDUBON. THE LIFE OF JOHN JAMES AUDUBON,
the Naturalist. Edited by his widow. With
a fine portrait from the painting by Inman. 12mo,
cloth, extra gilt top, $2.50.
“It is a grand story of a grand life; more instructive than a sermon, more romantic
than a romance.”

BASCOM. PRINCIPLES OF PSYCHOLOGY. By
John Bascom, Professor in Williams College. 12mo,
pp. 350, $1.75.
“All success to the students of physical science: but each of its fields may have
its triumphs, and the secrets of mind remain as unapproachable as hitherto. With
philosophy and not without it, under its own laws and not under the laws of a lower
realm, must be found those clues of success, those principles of investigation, which
can alone place this highest form of knowledge in its true position. The following
treatise is at least a patient effort to make a contribution to this, amid all failures,
chief department of thought.”
—Extract from Preface.
BLACKWELL. STUDIES IN GENERAL SCIENCE.
By Antoinette Brown Blackwell. 12mo

∵ This is the only method of drawing which really teaches anything. In
publishing the remarkable treatise, in which she unfolds, with surpassing interest,
the results of her observations upon the teaching of drawing, and the ingenious

“The warm, fresh breath of pure and fervent religion pervades these eloquent
pages.”
—Am. Baptist.
“Prof. Chadbourne's book is among the few metaphysical ones now published,
which, once taken up, cannot be laid aside unread. It is written in a perspicuous,
animated style, combining depth of thought and grace of diction, with a total absence
of ambitious display.”
—Washington National Republic.
“In diction, method, and spirit, the volume is attractive and distinctive to
are degree.”
—Boston Traveller.

“The most admirable popular treatise of natural theology. It is no extravagance
to say that we have never read a more charming book, or one which we can recommend
more confidently to our readers with the assurance that it will aid them, as
none that we know of can do, to
`Look through Nature up to Nature's God.'
Every clergyman would do well particularly to study this book. For the rest, the
handsome volume is delightful in appearance, and is one of the most creditable specimens
of American book-making that has come from the Riverside Press.”

feeling, an observing mind, and a real, honest, unaffected appreciation of the countless
minor beauties that Nature exhibits to her assiduous lovers.”

Cor. of Grand and Elm Sts.
New York, March 9th, 1869.
Dear Sir:—“Fay's Geography for Schools” has been added to the list of books
furnished to the schools under the control of the Board of Education.
Clerk of Board of Education.

“We can speak from long experience in the use of this book, as a well-thumbed
copy of the first edition has lain for years on our library table for almost daily
reference. A concise, compact biographical dictionary is one of the most necessary
and convenient of manuals, and we seldom failed to find what we looked for in this
excellent compendium.”

GENERAL GREENE'S LIFE. The Life of Nathaniel
Greene, Major-General in the Army of the Revolution.
By George Washington Greene, author of
“Historical View of the American Revolution.” 3 vols.
8vo. University press. The first volume is now ready.
Price to subscribers, $4 per volume.
The history of our life as a nation loses both its philosophical and its practical
importance if separated from the history of the Revolution. A careful study of
the War of Independence would have saved us thousands of lives and millions
of money in the War of the Rebellion. Next to the life of Washington, it is in the
life of Greene that this history is to be sought: nor can it be fully understood without
reading both. It is in the hope of contributing to the materials for this study,
and in the conviction that to preserve the memory of great and good men is one
of the highest offices of patriotism, that these volumes are offered to the student of
American history.
“The book is most valuable and most interesting, and ought to be in every library
in the Union.”
—Round Table.
“Let every father give this book to his son, that the young generation, instead
of receiving distorted impressions from the perusal of such trash as that of the
Headley, Spencer, and Abbott school, may see in their true light the glory and
shortcomings, the success and the failures of that glorious period of American history,
and that they may learn to emulate the example set by Greene and his compeers.”
—N. Y. Evening Post.

Cigar.” By the Editor of the Boston Journal of Chemistry.
32mo. 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.
∵ This “Counterblast” against “the weed,” containing new and startling
facts, is well worth the serious attention of all victims to this narcotic nuisance and
pernicious poison.
HATTON. CHRISTOPHER KENRICK. By Jos.
Hatton, Author of “Tallants of Barton,” “Pippins
and Cheese,” etc. 12mo, cloth, $1.75.
Important Book of Reference.
HAYDN'S DICTIONARY OF DATES, relating to
all Ages and Nations, for Universal Reference. The
new (13th) English edition by Benjamin Vincent.
To which is added an American Supplement, containing
about 200 additional pages, including American Topics and
a copious Biographical Index. By G. P. Putnam, A.M.
In one very large volume of more than 1000 pages. Price,
$9; half russia, $11.
∵ This is the most comprehensive and reliable book of reference in this department
ever published. The last English edition of the original work is given entire,
together with American additions which were essential to the completeness of a
volume which is marvellous for its fulness and accuracy. No good library can dispense
with this volume.
— AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT TO HAYDN'S DICTIONARY
OF DATES. Including a copious Biographical
Index. By G. P. Putnam. 8vo. $1.50.
HAWTHORNE. NOTES IN ENGLAND AND
ITALY. By Mrs. Nath'l Hawthorne. 12mo,

twelve Engravings on steel, and several hundred
Illustrations on wood, from his own designs. In six
volumes, crown 8vo, cloth, $15; half calf, gilt or antique,
$24.
“Hood's verse, whether serious or comic, whether serene, like a cloudless autumn
evening, or sparkling with puns, like a frosty January midnight with stars, was ever
pregnant with materials for thought.”
—D. M. Moir.
“His name is destined to be a household word with all who speak the English
language.”
—London Quarterly Review, Oct., 1863.
HOOD'S Poetical Works. 3 vols. crown 8vo, cloth, $7.50.
HOOD'S Prose Works. 3 vols. crown 8vo, cloth, $7.50.
HOOD'S Poetical Works. People's edition. 1 vol., $3.25.

HOOD. Tales and Extravaganzas. By Thomas Hood.
A new edition, with Illustrations. In one volume, crown
8vo, $2.25.
The longest is “Our Family;” the funniest, “Mrs. Gardiner, a Horticultural
Romance,” which is the most laughable play on words probably in the English
language. For mirth-compelling, without weakness of mere playfulness, or sinfulness
of idea and language, the melancholy Hood still stands above all rivals before
or since.
—Christian Advocate.
HOWELLS, W. D. NO LOVE LOST; A Romance
of Travel. With illustrations. 16mo, gilt extra, $1.50.
∵ An elegant and delightful little volume by the editor of the Atlantic Monthly.

among us, as a man of rare intellectual power, genuine eloquence, ripe scholarship
and most generous sympathies.”
—National Baptist, Philadelphia.
“The Discourses will be found fully up to the high expectation formed from the
great priest's protests against the trammels of Romish dogmatism.”
—Rochester Democrat.

somewhat discordant materials is wrought into a consistent whole, of which the
parts have a due reference to each other, and some sketches of life and traits of

Edition, $2.50.
“But for generations past the power of the Crescent has been vaning, and its glory
may even now be folded up and laid away among the records of the past. The
glowing genius of Irving has painted its early triumphs in vivid colors, and, read in
contrast with what we know of the “sick man's” declining fortunes, the early conquests
of the Prophet seem more like fairy tales than the facts of sober history.”
