A NORDHOFF'S CALIFORNIA. California For Health, Pleasure, and Residence. Book for Travellers and Settlers. Illustrated. 8vo, Paper, $2 00; Cloth, $2 50. This book stands, as few books do, one of the best tests for general interest. Open it where you will, and you find yourself at once attracted both by the subject and the style. Mr. Nordhoff knows how to use his eyes, and he knows how to use his pen. We advise every one who wants to find out a great deal about that beautiful State, put in a compact, readable, and workmanlike form, and to enjoy at the same time one of the pleasantest books of the season, to read Mr. Nordhoff's "California."-N. Y. Times. All those good Americans who desire to see the magnificent pictures of the West before they die and go to Paris, will find in Mr. Nordhoff a guide at once entertaining and considerate. It might well be that the enthusiasm of an Eastern observer, used to a less generous soil, should lead to an unmeant exaggeration of the agricultural forces of California; but the writer, with his almost incredible facts, seems to be a very Gradgrind in the matter of figures-a beneficent Gradgrind to the emigrants who need to know something of the new Eden before that way they turn their hopeful steps. The first part of the book is given to the instruction of travellers, to definite details of ways, and places, and expenses. The description of the trip across the Continent, with its palace cars and its unexpected little luxuries, reads like nothing so much as an Arabian Nights' tale wherein the happy possessor of the lamp, or the ring, or the purse summons any number of obliging and comfort-bearing genii at will.-N. Y. Tribune. Mr. Nordhoff has given us not merely an interesting book of travels, but a practical guide over the route and through the country itself. *** It presents both the romantic and the practical side of California, and will be read with equal interest by the pleasure-tourist and the man who is looking toward that country as a place of residence.-N. Y. Evening Post. The information imparted is just what is wanted, whether by the tourist or the intending emigrant, the health seeker or the land seeker. It descends to particulars, gives distances, prices-all needful facts. And still it is not a dry book, thorny with statistics and platitudinous with tabulated knowledge. It is thoroughly readable and enjoyable.-Examiner and Chronicle, N. Y. A delightful and instructive volume. *** The most entertaining, the most intelligent, and the most useful book on California we have ever read. *** What particularly pleases us in this volume is the ease and felicity of the style. The author seems to be indulging simply in a quiet, genial talk with the reader. Good sense is his special characteristic.-Boston Daily Globe, OMBRA. A Novel. By Mrs. OLIPHANT, Au thor of "Chronicles of Carlingford," petual Curate," "Laird of Norlaw,' Majoribanks," &c. 8vo, Paper, 75 cents. Per "Miss the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman." 1. LITTLE SUNSHINE'S HOLIDAY. A Picture from Life. By the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman." With Illustrations by Frölich. 16mo, Cloth, 90 cents. "Little Sunshine" is a bright, lovable, and quite human child of some three years, who is taken by her parents on a holiday trip of a month. What she saw and what she did, the pleasures her parents provided for her, how she enjoyed them, and how she repaid their fond care, Miss Mulock narrates in a simple, lively fashion that can not but prove irresistible with the little ones, while the story, whether read to or by them, will leave a good impression. The book is issued in handsome style, rendering it peculiarly suitable for gift purposes.-Philadelphia Inquirer. 2. THE COUSIN FROM INDIA. By GEORGIANA M. CRAIK. Illustrated. 16mo, Cloth, 90 cents. Is the story of a little girl, wild, untaught, and lawless, who makes an irruption into a family of quiet, well-bred children; and the consequent commotions that ensue provoke alternately to laughter and tears. Sweet, suffering little Davie's influence over the halfsavage cousin is delightfully drawn, and in all the range of children's literature it would be hard to find any thing more touchingly beautiful than the story of the long weeks of illness and death. Throughout the whole volume there is a comprehension of and sympathy with child thought and feeling that are almost as rare out of books as they are in. We wish that every little girl of nine or ten, and every mother of such little girl, might have the chance of reading this book-Advance. 3. TWENTY YEARS AGO. From the Journal of a Girl in her Teens. Edited by the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman." 16mo, Cloth, 90 cents. It is a genuine account of girl-experiences in Paris just after the accession of Napoleon III. The book is such comprehension of subjects generally tabooed, or written with so much knowledge of the world, and looked at only through colored glasses, by girls in their teens, that, without the editor's assurance, we should have supposed that it had been written by some one of wider experience, and more practiced in literary workmanship.-Examiner, London. 4. IS IT TRUE? Tales, Curious and Wonderful, collected by the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman, 16mo, Cloth, 90 cents. Ten good old tales, collected from various sources, and edited by Mrs. Craik, are contained in a capital little book, "Is it True ?" The first and longest of the number is "The Story of Elidure," and most of those that follow are of French origin; two Irish tales being at the end. The volume is a very welcome addition to Mrs. Craik's series of "Girls' Books."—Examiner, London. 5. AN ONLY SISTER. By Madame GUIZOT DE WITT. With 6 Illustrations. 16mo, Cloth, 90 cents. almost nothing to say; it speaks for itself. In it the Of this story, written expressly for my series, I have author paints real French life, and the real French woman-in her best and noblest type.-Extract from Preface.
