By Albert Barnes, Author of "Notes on the New Testament," "Lectures on the Evidences of Christianity," &c., &c. In Three Volumes. Vol. I. now ready. 12mo, Cloth, $50 per Volume. These Notes on the Psalms are characterized by the excellences which made Mr. Barnes's earlier expository works so eminently successful.-American Presbyterian. It rounds and completes his rich reputation as a Christian scholar.-Boston Traveller. Bible students will warmly welcome the first volume of Barnes's Notes on the Psalms.-Congregationalist. Prof. Loomis's Meteorology. There is the same blending of the critical and the practical, with constant expression of devout feelings and sentiments, which, in a work on the Psalms, is peculiarly congruous with the book which Mr. Barnes is interpreting.-Presbyterian (Philadelphia). All who have found instruction and profit in the perusal of the other volumes will be glad to see these on the Psalms.-Brooklyn Union. A Treatise on Meteorology. With a Collection of Meteorological Tables. BY ELIAS LOOMIS, LL.D., Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy in Yale College, and Author of a "Course of Mathematics." 8vo, Sheep extra, $200. The subject is treated as plainly, and with as little of technical language or abstruse mathematical reasoning as the necessity of the case permits.-London Saturday Review. In this treatise the leading facts and principles of meteorology are presented in their freshest and most authentic form, by one whose special investigations in this department of science, as well as his accurate knowledge in all branches of physics, have peculiarly qualified for the task.-New Englander. Prof. Loomis has attempted, and, so far as we may judge, very successfully, to reduce to a popular system the great amount of learning on this important subject.-New York Herald. The best manual on the subject.-American Presbyterian and Theological Review. A very interesting and important volume.-Boston Transcript. Calculated to please the general reader as much as the special student.-New York Commercial. Its style is a model of ease and perspicuity.-Lutheran Observer. It supplies a real want.-Independent. Is written in a plain, forcible style, and is very fully illustrated throughout. It contains a rich fund of useful as well as curious information.-Rural New Yorker. Arranged in a delightfully clear and interesting manner.-Congregationalist. Nordhoff's Cape Cod and All Along Shore. Cape Cod and All Along Shore: Stories. By CHARLES NORDHOFF. 12m0, Cloth, $1 50.

A very attractive collection of stories, of good moral and religious tone.-Christian Witness. A very entertaining book.-Springfield Republican. He tells a story well, with a freshness and vigor of style which is very attractive. - Presbyterian (Philadelphia). There is a naturalness in his style that gives character and reality to his writings.-Pittsburg Gazette. His stories have charmed many readers heretofore, and now that they are collected in a volume they will find a ready sale as a capital companion for a leisure hour, and as keen and discerning views of life and character. New York Commercial. Thoroughly characteristic.-Leader. There is a certain smartness about Mr. Nordhoff's style which is really quite charming-an attribute not usually possessed by smartness.-Chicago Post. Lossing's Field-Book of the War of 1812. Pictorial Field-Book of the War of 1812; or, Illustrations, by Pen and Pencil, of the History, Biography, Scenery, Relics, and Traditions of the Last War for American Independence. By BENSON J.

With Fifteen Illustrations and a Portrait of the Author. 8vo, Cloth, $2 00; Paper, $1 50. This autobiography of one of the first of American actors is immensely entertaining as a narrative; from the laughable Dedication to the Anecdotical Appendix it is irresistibly droll and comic. It is full of incident, character, and reminiscence. It is not only an autobiography of Mr. Sol. Smith, but a complete history of the American stage, full of facts about the early life of the principal actors and managers of the pres ent day, and of reminiscences of the stage for the past fifty years and more. Besides, it forms a most pleasant and agreeable sketch of Southern and Southwestern society, so faithful that any reader who has ever encountered the peculiar people of those regions will instantly recognize its truthfulness. The Massacre of St. Bartholomew: Preceded by a History of the Religious Wars in the Reign of Charles IX. By HENRY WHITE, M.A. With Illustrations. 8vo, Cloth, $1 75. The author has taken much pains in collecting materials for this work. The story of the plot and its accomplishment is told with skill, and may be read with mething of the interest corresponding to the terrible events described.-Saturday Review. The whole story has never, to our knowledge, been so clearly and satisfactorily related before, and no where else can an inquirer after the truth respecting this event more readily find what he is in search of than in this masterly exposition of the never-to-beforgotten Massacre of St. Bartholomew.-Athenæum. His arguments are every where conclusive, ably supported by the results of deep researches into the contemporary histories of the times of which he treats. His language is always forcible, and frequently rises to eloquence. His account of the state of France in the middle of the sixteenth century is admirable and exhaustive. The same praise may be allowed to his descriptions of the characters of the chief personages of the bloody drama which he recounts. We heartily commend the book for the tolerant spirit in which it is written.-London Review. Smiles's History of the Huguenots. The Huguenots: their Settlements, Churches, and Industries in England and Ireland. By SAMUEL SMILES, Author of "Self-Help," &c. With an Appendix relating to the Huguenots in America. Crown 8vo, Cloth, Beveled, $1 75. The wonderful story is told with spirit and accuracy, and in a better manner than ever before it was told. The reader is enabled to follow the course of events with pleasure, so lively and effective is the style of the exciting narrative. Seldom has so much valuable matter been placed between the covers of a single volume as we find in this; and the opinions of the author are as sound as his statements are trustworthy. -Boston Traveller. We can not close Mr. Smiles's volume without bestowing on it the highest commendation. He has told a story of absorbing interest in a most charming and attractive manner.-London Daily News. Mr. Smiles's account is admirably calculated to impart not only new knowledge, but really new ideas. -Pall Mall Gazette. Mr. Smiles has chosen the prosaic side of Huguenot history, and has made it as fascinating as a romance. He has not essayed to depict the religious heroism of the social tragedy of the Huguenot story-he has restricted himself to the economical influence of its migrations, and he has made the statistics and genealogies-of which his work is full-as interesting as Homer's list of ships and heroes, or as Milton's array of the demigods of hell.-British Quarterly Review. Mr. Smiles has never had a subject more intimately connecting what is greatest in the stir of mind with the establishment of new forms of industry than in this account of the settlement of the Huguenots, who left France after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, costing her, it is said, upward of a million of her best subjects.-Examiner. Krummacher's David, King of Israel. David, the King of Israel: a Portrait drawn from Bible History and the Book of Psalms. By FREDERICK WILLIAM KRUMMACHER, D.D., Author of “Elijah the Tishbite," &c.

In such a field Dr. Krummacher's well-known pow- A lifelike picture of the prophet-king and his times. ers of description, his chaste fancy, his well-balanced-Evangelical Christendom. judgment, and enlightened piety were sure to find full scope; nor have our anticipations been disappointed. In these pages David passes before us in the various phases of his character as shepherd, psalmist, warrior, and monarch. There is no attempt at originality of view, no prosy solution of difficulties, no controversial sparring; the narrative flows on like a well-told story, and the art of the writer lies in the apt selection of salient points, and in the naturalness of his reflections.-British and Foreign Evang'l Review. The treatment is marked by the acuteness of insight and the tenderness of sympathy that are characteristic of the author.-Imperial Review. We would recommend this volume to the clergy as a storehouse of hints for pulpit use, and also as a valuable addition to our devotional literature.-Clerical Journal. A lifelike portrait of one who has ever been an object of deep interest to Christians.-Glasgow Herald. FRANKLIN SQUARE, NEW YORK, October 1, 1868. HARPER & BROTHERS' NEW NOVELS. "Novels are sweets.
