COWPER. THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS

Of William Cowper, Esq., including the Hymns and Translations from Mad.
Guion, Milton, &c., and Adam, a Sacred Drama, from the Italian of Bat-
tista Andreini, with a Memoir of the Author, by the Rev. Henry Stebbing,
A. M. One volume, 16mo., 800 pages, $1 50, or in 2 vols. $1 75.
Forming one of the Series of "Cabinet Edition of Standard British Poets."

Morality never found in genius a more devoted advocate than Cowper, nor has moral wisdom, in its plain and severe precepts, been ever more successfully combined with the delicate spirit of poetry than in his works. He was endowed with all the powers which a poet could want who was to be the moralist of the world-the reprover, but not the satirist, of inen-the teacher of simple truths, which were to be rendered gracious without endangering their simplicity.

CRUDEN.-CONCORDANCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. By Alexander Cruden, M. A., with a Memoir of the Author by W. Youngman. Abridged from the last London Edition, by Wm. Patton, D. D. Portrait. One volume, 32mo., sheep, 50 cents.

Contains all the words to be found in the large work relating to the New Testament.

DE FOE.-PICTORIAL ROBINSON CRUSOE.

The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. By Daniel De Foe. With a Memoir of the Author, and an Essay on his Writings, with upwards of 300 spirited Engravings, by the celebrated French artist, Grandville. One elegant volume, octavo, of 500 pages. $1 75.

Crusoe has obtained a ready passport to the mansions of the rich, and the cottages of the poor, and communicated equal delight to all ranks and classes of the community. Few works have been more generally read, or more justly admired; few that have yielded such incessant amusement, and, at the same time, have developed so many lessons of practical instruction.-Sir Walter Scott..

The Messrs. Appleton & Co., of New York, have just published a beautiful edition of "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe." Not the miserable abridgment generally circulated, but De Foe's genuine work, Robinson Crusoe in full and at length, a story which never palls upon the reader, and never can lose its popularity while the English language endures.-Pennsylvanian.

D'ISRAELI.-CURIOSITIES OF LITERATURE,

F. S. A.

And the Literary Character illustrated, by I. D'Israeli, Esq., D. C. L., First and Second Series. The Literary Character, illustrated by the History of Men of Genius, drawn from their own feelings and confessions, by I. D'Israeli, Esq. Curiosities of American Literature, compiled, edited, and arranged by Rev. Rufus W. Griswold. The three works in one volume, large 8vo. Price $3 50.

This is the double title of a large and beautifully printed octavo volume, which has just made its appearance in the World of Letters. With the first part every body is already familiar. The deep research, the evident enthusiasm in his subject, and the light and pungent humor displayed by D'Israeli in it, are the delight of all classes of readers, and will undoubtedly send him down a cheerful journey to posterity, if only on account of the pleasant company in which he has managed so agreeably to introduce himself. The other portion of this work-that relating to the Curiosities of American Literature-is entirely new to the public; yet we shall be disappointed if it is not directly as popular as the other. Mr. Griswold has performed his task in a manner highly creditable to his taste, while displaying most favorably his industry, tact, and perseverance.-New

York Tribune.

DE LEUZE.-PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION IN ANIMAL Magnetism, by J. P. F. De Leuze, translated by Thomas C. Hartshorn. Revised edition, with an Appendix of Notes by the Translator, and Letters from minent Physicians and others, descriptive of cases in the U. States. One volume, 12mo. $1 00.

The translator of this work has certainly presented the profession with an uncommonly well digested treatise, enhanced in value by his own notes and the corroborative testimony of eminent physicians.--Boston Med & Surg. Journal.

ELLIS. THE DAUGHTERS OF ENGLAND;

Their position in Society, Character, and Responsibilities. By Mrs. Ellis.
In one handsome volume, 12mo., cloth gilt. 50 cents.

ELLIS. THE WOMEN OF ENGLAND;

Their Social Duties and Domestic Habits. By Mrs. Ellis. One handsome volume, 12mo., cloth gilt. 50 cents.

Ellis. One handsome volume, 12mo., cloth gilt. 50 cents.

ELLIS. THE MOTHERS OF ENGLAND;

Their Influence and Responsibility. By Mrs. Ellis. One handsome volume, 12mo., cloth gilt. 50 cents.

This is an appropriate and very valuable conclusion to the series of works on the subject of female duties, by which Mrs. Ellis has pleased, and we doubt not profited, thousands of readers. Her counsels demand attention, not only by their practical, sagacious usefulness, but also by the meek and modest spirit in which they are communicated.-Watchman.

EVANS. EVENINGS WITH THE CHRONICLERS;

illustrations. One volume, 16mo., elegantly bound, 75 cents.
This would have been a volume after our own hearts, while we were younger, and it is
scarcely less so now when we are somewhat older. It discourses of those things which charmed
all of us in early youth-the daring deeds of the Knights and Squires of feudal warfare-the true
version of the "Chevy Chase,"-the exploits of the stout and stalwart Warriors of England,
Scotland, and Germany. In a word, it is an attractive book, and rendered more so to young read-
ers by a series of wood engravings, beautifully executed.-Courier & Enquirer.

EVANS. THE HISTORY OF JOAN OF ARC.

By R. M. Evans, author of "Evenings with the Chroniclers," with twenty-
four elegant illustrations. One volume, 16mo. Extra gilt. 75 cents.
In the work before us, we have not only a most interesting biography of this female prodigy,
including what she was and what she accomplished, but also a faithful account of the relations
that existed between England and France, and of the singular state of things that marked the
period when this wonderful personage appeared upon the stage. The leading incidents of her
life are related with exquisite simplicity and touching pathos; and you cannot repress your admi-
ration for her heroic qualities, or scarcely repress your tears in view of her ignominious end. To
the youthful reader we heartily recommend this volume.-Albany Advertiser.

A KEMPIS.-OF THE IMITATION OF CHRIST:

Four books by Thomas à Kempis. One elegant volume, 16mo. $1 00.

"The author of this invaluable work was born about the year 1380, and has always been honoured by the Church for his eminent sanctity. Of the many pious works composed by him, his 'Imitation of Christ' (being collections of his devotional thoughts and meditations on important practical subjects, together with a separate treatise on the Holy Communion) is the most celebrated, and has ever been admired and valued by devout Christians of every name. It has passed through numerous editions and translations, the first of which into English is said to have been made by the illustrious Lady Margaret, mother of King Henry VII. Messrs. Appleton's very beautiful edition is a reprint from the last English, the translation of which was chiefly copied from one printed at London in 1677. It deserves to be a companion of the good Bishop Wilson's Sacra Privata.—Banner of the Cross.
