BARRY CORNWALL.

English Songs, and other Small Poems.

1 vol. 16mo. 75 cents.

Barry Cornwall (B. W. Proctor) is a name that should be on every hook-shelf, which at all pretends to contain the works of modern English poets. In his own domain he is almost unexcelled.

TIMES.

The Songs of Barry Cornwall are too widely known, too justly prized, to be reviewed casually now. In contemplating them, Criticism gives place to Admiration, whose speech is silence. We had intended only to introduce a few selections from this glorious volume-selections difficult to make, because so many of these Songs are already household words to us all. To quote "King Death," "The Sea," "The Hunter's Song," &c. would be superfluous. TRIBUNE.

EPES SARGENT.

Songs of the Sea, with other Poems.

1 vol. 16mo. 50 cents, gilt 75 cents.

Mr. Sargent has an admirable faculty of description; his pictures are true and living, and never exaggerated. The most striking feature of his verse is action; everything moves with him. His diction too is uncommonly good. His "Life on the Ocean Wave" is perfect; when we read it we feel the fresh breeze rushing against our cheeks, and the blood starting in our veins as the ship triumphs over the waves. - N. Y. TRIBUNE.

These pieces are all characterized by true poetic merit. Mr. S. has rested his reputation on a legitimate basis. We hardly dare say all we think of the sonnets in the early part of the book, lest we be charged with exaggeration. - BOSTON TIMES.

Mr. Sargent always writes like a man of genius in the prime and vigor of his mental powers, and in the full enjoyment of good health. A large proportion of the published poetry of our day and generation seems to have been written by persons in ill health, who have mistaken their malady. -EVENING GAZETTE.

FANNY FORESTER.

A Collection of Fanny Forester's Village Sketches, Poems, &c. With a fine Mezzotinto Portrait of the author, engraved by Sartain. Ninth edition, Enlarged.

2 vols. 12mo. $1.75, gilt $2.50, gilt extra $3.00. The same in I vol. $1.62, gilt $2.25, gilt extra $2.75.

Who has not heard of Fanny Forester-'charming Fanny Forester,' as she is deservedly called? Her sketches have been more generally read and admired than those of almost any other periodical writer of our day. There is a freshness, grace, sprightliness, purity and actualness about them, which charms and invigorates, and we are glad to find them collected and published in a form both elegant and convenient. Miss Chubbuck, it will be remembered, was married a few months ago to the Rev. Dr. Judson, and is now on her way, with that devoted missionary, to the scene of his former labors. The dedicatory preface of these volumes, to her husband, is one of the most graceful and touching we have ever seen. A beautifully engraved portrait of the lady, by Sartain, is prefixed to the first volume. This collection will make a very acceptable and suitable Present, in the approaching Holidays. SALEM REGISTER.

This is one of those charming books which well deserve a place in every family library, and which has already won a place in thousands of hearts. The Sketches comprised in these beautiful volumes are so full of grace and tenderness -so pure in their style, and so elevated in their tone, that none can read them without delight and profit. We hazard little in saying that the touching story of Grace Linden," which properly leads the collection, is scarcely surpassed in beauty by anything in the works of Maria Edgeworth or Mary Russel Mitford. There are a great many other Sketches in the volumes that deserve special praise, but we will not deal in particulars, when all are so admirable.

The authoress of "Alderbrook" is now a self-denying, zealous missionary of the Cross, in Asia, and, as Mrs. Judson, has written many very charming things. She is best known, however, under her nomme de plume-and however honored may be the revered name she now bears, that of " Fanny Forester" will be cherised with pride and pleasure by her friends and readers. So. LIT. GAZETTE.

Our readers will see, even from this fragmentary letter, what all know who have critically read Fanny Forester's delightful volumes recently published, that she has a mind of the purest quality — simple, truthful, imaginative, fertile and genial. We have never expressed one half of the admiration we have felt for that rare, most rare, quality of her mind its unerring, unbroken weaving of a thread of truth and nature through all its fancies. Eminently fruitful as it is, a sunbeam is not more direct, pure and honest, than that same feminine and delicate fancy. Her books are delightful to read for this reason. The heart seconds the attention given to them, with constant recognition. — N. P. WILLIS.

It will be remembered that this talented lady, whose literary excellence has been so universally acknowledged, is now the wife of Dr. Json, the eminent missionary, and that she is now residing in Burmah with her husband. Her manuscripts were placed in the hands of Ticknor & Co. by herself, and the work which has been some time in progress, is now ready to be issued from the press. We have looked over the proof sheets, and read many of the articles. For deep pathos and beauty of diction, Mrs. Judson's "Farewell to Alderbrook," the concluding article in the book, is unrivalled by any prose article in American literature. - EVENING GAZETTE.

Fanny Forester delights and amuses you. It is just the book to take the place of those useless novels, and floating fiction of the day, that deprave the taste, and injure the heart. She understands human nature, she rebukes enemies, or consoles, as the occasion may require if you are dull, her smiling words cheer you; if morose, enfolding you in her delicate arms, imprints upon you her kiss of gentleness and loveliness, that smooths your ruffled nature; if sad, she shows you a picture of lovely cheerfulness, and you smile before you know it, and forget your gloom. The young will find in her writings, instruction, amusement, and good taste.

WITH

We have Mr. Sumner's printed Discourses before us, and can testify from personal knowledge to their singular merits. They are pregnant with thoughts of profound and universal interest. They are not productions to be laid aside with the occasion that called them forth, but to be preserved for our future instruction and delight. They derive this quality in a great measure from those characteristics of the author's mind, his earnestness, the union of moral fearlessness and intellectual caution in the statement of his opinions, and his reverence for original principles in comparison with popular custom or fashionable belief. NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

The oration of Mr. Sumner, for taste, eloquence and scholarship, as well as for fearless intrepidity, has been rarely equalled in modern harangue. CHAMBERS' EDINBURGH JOURNAL.

Mr. Sumner's oration - The True Grandeur of Nations - has been published here in five or six different forms. Three large Editions of the shilling form have been disposed of.

Mr. Sumner's noble oration deserved the high compliment which it received from John Quincy Adams, who gave as a sentiment, at the dinner which took place after the Phi Beta Kappa exercises, "The Memory of the Scholar, the Jurist, the Artist, and the Philanthropist; and not the memory, the long life, of the kindred spirit, who has this day embalmed them all.".

GEORGE SAND.

Consuelo.

Translated by Francis G. Shaw.

2 vols. 12mo, price $1.50.

The character of "Consuelo," as developed in this book and its predecessor, is one of the noblest ever drawn. We throw aside, for a moment, the real and the natural. The character is an ideal one, in essence, and as such is as chaste, as pure and as lofty a creation as we have ever loved and admired in all fiction. The whole book is written with great power and delicacy, and we confess to have found it very interesting, if we may except the most metaphysical portions, which we did not read at all. -POST.

The present is universally admitted to be the master-piece of one of the most remarkable of living novelists. - ATLAS.

It is, perhaps, the primary end of this novel, to hold up an ideal of the artist's character, especially in music, and to show how genuine art flows only from, and leads always to, the moral; how all inspiration, alike of saint or artist, must come from devotion to the "first good, first fair."-TRANSLATOR.

The Countess of Rudolstadt.
A Sequel to Consuelo.

2 vols. 12mo, price $1.00.

This long looked for and eagerly to be welcomed publication, is issued in two handsome volumes, at one dollar for both parts. The Countess of Rudolstadt, this being the name George Sand has given to the continuation of Consuelo, needs not a word of commendation to those who have read its predecessor. It will undoubtedly assume at once a popularity with the reading and appreciating public, equal to any work of the season.--ATLAS.
