HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY.

ARNOLD. THE HISTORY OF ROME,

From the Earliest Period. By THOMAS ARNOLD, D.D. Reprinted entire from the last English edition. Two vols., 8vo., $5,00.

ARNOLD. THE LATER ROMAN COMMONWEALTH. The History of the Later Roman Commonwealth. By THOMAS ARNOLD, D.D. Two vols. of the English edition. Reprinted entire in 1 vol., 8vo., $2,50.

"The History of Rome will remain, to the latest age of the world, the most attractive, the most useful, and the most elevating subject of human contemplation. It must ever form the basis of a liberal and enlightened education, and present the most important subject to the contemplation of the statesman. It is remarkable that, until the appearance of Dr. Arnold's volumes, no history (except Niebuhr's, whose style is often obscure) of this wonderful people existed, commensurate either to their dignity, their importance, or their intimate connection with modern institutions. In the preparation and composition of the history, Dr. Arnold expended many long years, and bent to it the whole force of his great energies. It is a work to which the whole culture of the man from boyhood contributed-most carefully and deeply meditated, pursued with all the ardor of a labor of love, and relinquished only with life. Of the conscientious accuracy, industry, and power of mind, which the work evinces-its clearness, dignity, and vigor of composition-it would be needless to speak. It is eminently calculated to delight and instruct both the student and the miscellaneous reader."-Boston Courier.

ARNOLD. THE LIFE AND CORRESPONDENCE OF THOMAS ARNOLD, D.D. BY ARTHUR P. STANLEY, A.M. 2d American from the 5th London edition. One handsome 8vo. volume, $2,00.

"This work should be in the hands of every one who lives and thinks for his race and for his religion; not so much as a guide for action, as affording a stimulant to intellectual and moral reflection."-Prot. Churchman.

"We have rarely had occasion to notice a work that we could so warmly and unreservedly recommend as this. *** The greater part of the volume consists of letters to familiar friends, on the thousand topics of general literature, religion, morals, history, and matters of every day interest."-Buffalo Com. Adv.

"His letters are deeply instructive and fascinating.”—Albany Adv.

"It is a work in which the scholar, the philosopher, and the Christian will be alike in terested."-Albany Argus.

ARNOLD.-LECTURES ON MODERN HISTORY,

Delivered in Lent Term, 1842, with the Inaugural Lecture delivered in 1841. By THOMAS ARNOLD, D.D. Edited, with a Preface and Notes, by Henry Reed, M.A., Prof. of Eng. Lit. in the University of Pa. 12mo., $1,25.

"Those who have read the Life and Correspondence of Dr. Arnold, recently published, need no assurance of the great value and interest of the present work. The Lectures of which this very handsome volume is composed, were delivered very soon after he took the chair of Modern History, at Oxford, and embrace his Inaugural Discourse upon the general subject. They are eight in number, and furnish the best possible introduction to a philosophical study of modern history Professor Reed has added greatly to the worth and interest of the volume, by appending to each lecture such extracts from Dr. Arnold's other writings as would more fully illustrate its prominent points. The notes and appendix which he has thus furnished are exceedingly valuable. "No student or literary man, who has the least regard for the philosophy of history, should be without this book. So far as our knowledge extends, there is no other before the public which can be compared to it for interest and permanent worth."-Cour. & Enquirer. COIT. THE HISTORY OF PURITANISM.

Puritanism; or, a Churchman's Defence against its Aspersions, by an Appeal to its own History. By THOMAS W. COIT, D.D., Rector of Trinity Church, New Rochelle. 12mo., 528 closely-printed pages, $1,50.

"This is a bold, frank book, that will be read and will make an impression. Historic truth, and moral improvement-in so far at least as the lesson of toleration and reciprocal forbearance may be taught by showing that all need its practice-will be advanced by this volume, which we commend in all confidence to all searchers after knowledge and historical accuracy, whoever and wherever it may bear."-Cour & Eng.

CARLYLE.-THE LIFE OF SCHILLER :

Comprehending an Examination of his Works. By THOMAS CARLYLE, author of "The French Revolution," etc. 12mo., paper cover 50 cts., cloth 75 cts.

"This biography we have always regarded as the best book Carlyle has written-the best at least in point of style, and far less objectionable in any respect than any of his subsequent productions. Its style is clear, perspicuous, and extremely eloquent; its critical examinations of Schiller's Works is full, thorougn, and in every way adinirable; and, as a biography, it is one of the finest specimens ever written. It cannot fail to be welcomed by a very large class of cultivated minds.-Cour, & Eng.

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY-CONTINUED. GREENHOW.-THE HISTORY OF OREGON AND CALI. FORNIA and the other Territories on the North-west coast of North America, accompanied by a Geographical View and Map of those countries, and a number of documents as proofs and illustrations of the History.

“M. Guizot, in his instructive Lectures, has given us an epitome of modern history, distinguished by all the merit which, in another department, renders Blackstone a subject of such peculiar and unbounded praise-a work closely condensed, including nothing useless, omitting nothing essential; written with grace, and conceived and arranged with consummate ability." GUIZOT.-HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION of 1640, from the Accession of Charles I. to his Death. Minister of France; Author of "History of Civilization in lated by WILLIAM HAZLITT. In two volumes, 12mo. volumes bound in one, cloth, $1,25.

By F. GUIZOT, the Prime Europe," etc., etc. TransPaper cover $1,00, or two

"It is a work of great eloquence and interest, and abounding with thrilling dramatic sketches."-Newark Advertiser.

"M. Guizot's style is bold and piquant, the notes and references abundant and reliable, and the work is worthy of an honorable place in a well-selected library."-New-Haven Courier. HAMILTON—The Life of ALEXANDER HAMILTON, Edited by his son, John C. Hamilton. Two volumes, 8vo., $5,00.

"We cordially recommend the perusal and diligent study of these volumes, exhibiting, as they do, much valuable matter relative to the Revolution, the establishment of the Federal Constitution, and other important events in the annals of our country.-N. Y. Review. KING THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.

Twenty-four Years in the Argentine Republic; embracing its Civil and Military History, and an Account of its Political Condition before and during the Adminis tration of Gov.

ANTHONY KING, an Officer in the Army of the Republic. One volume, 12mo., $1,00.

"This narrative of the Civil Wars in the Argentine Republic embraces from the period of the expulsion of the Spaniards to 1841, and is replete with matters of thrilling interest, and exhibits in a concise manner the mass of contending elements that have so long distracted that interesting country. The political history of Rosas, his course of policy, the origin of his invasion of the Banda Oriental, and the ordeal of blood through which the people are passing under his rule, are all exhibited in this work, rendering it one of the utmost interest to the historian, the statesman, and the general reader."

KOHLRAUSCH.-HISTORY OF GERMANY,

From the Earliest Period to the Present Time. By FREderick KohlRAUSCH, Chief of the Board of Education for the Kingdom of Hanover, and late Professor of History in the Polytechnic School. Translated from the last German edition, by JAMES D. HAAS. One vol., 8vo., of 500 pages, with complete Index, $1,50.

"A compendious and full history of the German Empire, disconnected from all the extraneous details which it has been customary to combine with the annals of particular nations, has long been a desideratum in the English language. Such a narration could not be found. Mr. Koblrausch's work, in many respects, is a model for historiographers. It is sufficiently minute, highly graphic in its portraitures and delineations, rejects every topic merely fabulous or unimportant, and the truthfulness of it can be verified by a recurrence to the various authors whom he has enumerated as the sources whence he has derived his Narrative. It is a skilfully arranged and methodical record, luminous, very impartial and attractive both in its style and reflections."-Boston Courier.

"The work satisfactorily supplies a vacancy which confessedly existed in English Literature, and will form a valuable and permanent addition to the historical department of our libraries"—

Southern Churchman.

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY-CONTINUED. MICHELET.-THE HISTORY OF FRANCE,

From the Earliest Period. By M. MICHELET, Professor of History in the College of France. Two volumes, 8vo.

The celebrity of this work on the continent, and the want in English Literature of a good History of France, has induced the publishers to introduce it to the American public at a price within the means of all. The Edinburgh, Foreign Quarterly, and other established Reviews, have urged the necessity and advantage of its being introduced, by translation, to the English reader.

"So graphic, so life-like, so dramatic a historian as Michelet, we know not where else to look for. The countries, the races of men, the times, pass vividly before you, as you peruse his animated pages, where we find nothing of diffuseness or irrelevancy. It is a masterly work, and the publishers are doing the reading public a service by producing it in so unexceptionable and cheap an edition."-Tribune.

"Universally conceded to be the ablest and most valuable history of France ever written.”— Cour, & Eng.

"It is one of those standard histories which EVERY ONE must have. The author possesses great powers as a writer, and his language is terse, vigorous and elegant, forming the expression of ideas, bold, broad and deep, the fixed results of much thought and great research."Cincinnati Daily Atlas.

MICHELET.-THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC. By M. MICHELET. Translated from the French. One vol., 12mo.

"M. Michelet, in his History of the Roman Republic, first introduces the reader to the Ancien Geography of Italy; then, by giving an excellent picture of the present state of Rome and the sur rounding country, full of grand ruins, he excites in the reader the desire to investigate the ancient history of this wonderful land. He next imparts the results of the latest investigations, entire, deeply studied, and clearly arranged, and saves the uneducated reader the trouble of investigating the sources, while he gives to the more educated mind an impetus to study the literature from which he gives very accurate quotations in his notes. He describes the peculiarities and the life of the Roman people in a masterly manner, and he fascinates every reader, by the brilliant clearness and vivid freshness of his style, while he shows himself a good historian, by the justness and impartiality with which he relates and philosophizes."

The Westminster Review observes: "His Histoire Romaine' is not only the history of institutions and ideas, as in Niebuhr, but also by virtue of the vast interpretative faculty of imagination, places the men of Rome, with their creeds and aspirations, vividly before you."

MICHELET-THE LIFE OF MARTIN LUTHER,
Gathered from his own Writings. By M. MICHELET. Translated by G. H.
SMITH, F.G.S. 12mo, paper cover 50 cts., cloth 75 cts.

"This work is not an historical romance, founded on the life of Martin Luther; nor is it a history of the establishment of Lutheranism. It is simply a biography, composed of a series of translations. Excepting that portion of it which has reference to his childhood, and which Luther himself has left undescribed, the translator has rarely found occasion to make his own appearance on the scene. It is almost invariably Luther himself who speaksalmost invariably Luther related by Luther."-Extract from M. Michelet's Preface. MICHELET.-THE PEOPLE.

* *

By M. MICHELET. Translated by G. H. SMITH, F.G.S. 12mo., paper cover 37 cts., cloth 62 cts.

"I have made this book out of myself-out of my life, and out of my heart. I have derived it from my observation-from my relations of friendship and of neighbourhood; I have picked it up upon the roads. Chance loves to favor those who follow out one continuous idea. Above all, I have found it in the recollections of my youth. To know the life of the people, their labor and their sufferings, I had but to interrogate my memory."-Extract from Author's Preface.

NAPOLEON.-PICTORIAL HISTORY

"The work is superior to the long, verbose productions of Scott and Bourienne-not in style alone, but in truth-being written to please neither Charles X. nor the English aristocracy, but for the cause of freedom. It has advantages over every other memoir extant.-Am. Traveller. "This handsome publication is now completed in two large 8vo. volumes, comprising more than 500 pictorial embellishments, presenting a concise and rapid narrative of the extraordinary life and career of the most extraordinary man of the age. In an Appendix are all the details of the exhumation of the remains of Napoleon at St. Helena, and of the splendid pageant of the funeral in Paris.

“As an ornamental not less lhan an instructive work, these two volumes will commend them seives."-NY. American

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY-CONTINUED. O'CALLAGHAN. HISTORY OF NEW NETHERLAND; Or, NEW-YORK UNDER THE DUTCH. By E. B. O'CALLAGHAN, Corresponding Member of the New-York Historical Society. One handsome 8vo. volume, of 500 pages, accompanied with a fac-simile of the original Map of New Netherland. Price $2,50.

Book I.-From the Discovery of America to the Incorporation of the Dutch West India Company.

Book II.-From the Incorporation of the Dutch West India Company, to the open. ing of the Fur or Indian Trade to the Inhabitants of New Netherland.

Book III.-From the opening of the Indian Trade to the end of Director Kleft's administration.

"A complete history of New York, whilst under Dutch jurisdiction, has never before been written. There was, therefore, an absolute blank in the annals of our State of over fifty years. Dr. O'Callaghan has filled up this blank, and the volume now published brings the work down to 1647. As the work has been compiled almost exclusively from Dutch Records in the Secretary of State's Office, and from old family papers, its authenticity and the fidelity of its details can be safely relied on. An opinion can be formed of the minuteness of those details, when it is understood that the author has been five years engaged with this volume. The history of the first churches in New-York and Albany, the wars between the Dutch and Indians, and the struggle of the people for popular rights, form a prominent portion of this part of the work, through which Also are interspersed some interesting particulars of old families."

ROWAN. HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION; Its Causes and Consequences. By F. MACLEAN ROWAN. 2 vols., 18mo., 75 cts.; or 2 vols. in 1, 63 cts.

"Most of the histories of the French Revolution that have been written, are so large that the mass of readers have scarcely the courage to encounter them; but here is one that brings the whole matter within moderate limits, and yet is sufficiently full in its details to gratify a reasonable curiosity. It abounds with graphic descriptions, and carries the reader most successfully through all the scenes which it describes."-Albany Spectator. TAYLOR-A MANUAL OF HISTORY.

For convenience as a Class-Book, the Ancient or Modern portion can be had in separate volumes.

"To the million, who have neither the leisure nor the means of an extensive reading of history, this must prove a welcome book. It bears on every page the impress of close thought and extensive research."-Tribune.

"For a Text Book for Colleges and Academies, and for domestic use, it is the best work yet issued.-Eve. Mirror.

"It is admirably calculated for universal circulation."-Courier and Enquirer.

"We cannot but express our decided approval of this work. It is a summary of all that is most important in the authentic annals of the world-a book suited not only for the purposes of direct tuition, but as a manual for domestic reading."-Journal of Commerce.

The Quaterly Review pronounces it valuable, in dependently of the Oregon question, as an able discussion of several important points of the law of nations. It is neatly and conveniently published."-Morning News.
