NOV. 1; 1865. Atalanta in Calydon that which will best please the most poetic taste. It is a production so thoroughly interpenetrated with the results of a severe intellect and of a classic spirit as to place it far above all mere verse-making. The Gulistan, or Rose Garden. By Musle-Huddeen Sheik Saadi, of Shiraz. Translated from the original by Francis Gladwin; with an Essay on Saadi's Life and Genius by James Ross, and a Preface by R. W. Emerson. pp. xviii., 379. Boston: Ticknor & Fields. The Lover's Trials; or the Days before the Revolution. By Mrs. Mary A. Denison. pp. 383. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson & Brothers. This is a Boston story of colonial times, in which a spirited attempt is made to reproduce the style of general society and the peculiarities of some of the notabilities of the town at that time. Lady Audley's Secret. By M. E. Braddon.. pp. 381. The American News Company, New York, pub- Saadi was born in',the year 1194, at Shiraz, the capital of Persia proper, and his fame has justly extended from the East to the nations of the West. Mr. Emerson says that, "though he has not the lyric flights of Hafiz, he has wit, practical sense, and just moral sentiments; he has the instinct to teach, and from every occurrence must draw the moral, like Franklin; he is the poet of friendship, love, self-devotion, and serenity; there is a uniform force in his page, and, conspicuously, a tone of cheerfulness, which has almost made his name a synonyme for grace." Mr. Ross's Essay, which was written, in 1822, with the enthusiasm of a genuine Orientalist, gives us not only the known facts conBayard, Taylor has said that "Afraja" is one of cerning Saadi, but a very readable sketch of Persian the most remarkable romances of this generation. and Arabic literature, together with an indication Mr. Morris, the translator, regards Mügge, the author of some instances in which he thinks it has antici- of the story, as one of the most distinguished writers pated the supposed discoveries of our later science of fiction in Germany. This American translation and the triumphs of our modern arts. "The Gulis-appeared originally in 1854, and the present is the tan" itself is well worth the study of those who are seventh edition, so that the work appears to enjoy fond of comparative literature, and of such as would quite as much popularity in this country as in stimulate their literary satiety with the seasoning Germany. It introduces us into a region which is of something new. Mr. Smith has written more than a score of novels, and here is another, as to which our readers must form their own opinion by their own perusal. Afraja; or, Life and Love in Norway. From the German of Theodore Mügge. By Edward Joy Morris. pp. viii., 571. Philadelphia: Lindsay & Blakiston. FICTION. Studies for Stories, from Girls' Lives. 'Alexander The republication of these Stories in this country has already rendered them familiar to our readers. The fact that they are known to have been written by Jean Ingelow, and their intrinsic | merit, have rendered them so deservedly popular that it is almost supererogatory for us to call attention to them now. What we may, however, very properly advert to is the form in which they are presented in the volume before us. It is one of the books on Mr. Strahan's list, a London edition, with the typographical excellence of the better class of London publications, in size a crown 8vo., and in price quite as cheap as any tasteful buyer could desire. The clearly printed page and the broad margin are grateful to the eye, and those who would procure an extremely neat and at the same time inexpensive copy of the work should by no means overlook this original edition, which, since the establishment of Mr. Strahan's American branch in New York, is now so easily procurable by individuals and by the trade. Home-Heroes, Saints and Martyrs. By T. S. Arthur. pp. 296. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. Mr. Arthur's recognized ability in the construction of touching and impressive domestic narratives always gives currency to anything that comes from his pen, and those who read him will gladly receive this new work. It is issued in very neat form by the publishers. The Bushrangers: a Yankee's Adventures during his Second Visit to Australia. By William H. Thomes. pp. 480. Boston: Lee & Shepard. We have here a sequel or continuation of "The Gold Hunter's Adventures; or Life in Australia," issued by the same publishers, a few months since. The narrative is continued in the same general style, and is no less full of strange adventure. an almost untrodden field of fiction-the remote neighborhood of the North Pole and those steppes where the Laplander pursues his wandering life of privation and suffering. Novel readers who are on the look-out for something that is novel, will be likely to find it here. This is the sixth volume of the well-known" Win and Wear" series, which is one of the best of its class. Ilverton Rectory; or, The Nonconformists of the Seventeenth Century. Founded on Fact. pp. 188. Evelyn Percival. pp. 189. These stories are by the same author. They are additions, by the American Tract Society, New York, to their series of "Life Illustrated." Frank, the Young Naturalist. pp. 253. Frank in the Woods. pp. 256. Frank on a Gunboat. pp. 256. Frank before Vicksburg. pp. 256. We have here a juvenile series issued by R. W. Carroll & Co., Cincinnati, which they style "The Gunboat Series." The author is H. C. Castlemon, a young officer of the Mississippi Fleet. While we have a number of juveniles relating to the regular navy, we believe there are no others based upon the peculiar experience afforded by the gunboat operations on the western rivers. The books are manufactured in a superior manner. The paper is heavy and fine; the illustrations are all that could be desired; the cloth and binding, in color, fabric, and ornamentation, are attractive, and the general style and appearance are in every way creditable to the publishers. Few publishers in eastern cities would, or even could have produced much better workmanship, notwithstanding the superior facilities which they may have at command. MEDICAL. NOV. A, 1865. The Human Hair and the Cutaneous Diseases which Affect it; together with Essays on Acne, Sycosis, and Chloasma. By B. C. Perry, Dermatologist. pp. 402. New York: James Miller. The author has endeavored to bring together scientific statements and popular, curious, and entertaining facts touching the hair. Its structure, mode of growth, chemical composition, the causes of its colors, grayness and the loss of hair, the modes of maintaining its original health and strength, the disorders of the scalp, diseases and discolorations of the face, and cosmetics are among the subjects discussed. The volume abounds in practical suggestions, most of which seem to be characterized by good judgment. As a popular manual concerning the treatment of the hair and of cutaneous eruptions, it will doubtless prove suggestive to those who are interested in the subject. VOYAGES AND TRAVELS. pp. Wanderings over Bible Lands and Seas. By the Author of the "Schönberg-Cotta Family." viii., 416. New York: Robert Carter & Brothers. We have here the journal or diary of an excursion from Malta through Egypt, Palestine, the shores of Tyre and Sidon, Damascus, Baalbec, and the coast of Asia Minor. The style is unpretentious, and yet it is the expression of the immediate in fluences of the times and places mentioned. References to Scripture incidents abound in the narrative, and the writer's literary ability is everywhere evident, even in these familiar recitals of the things seen and emotions felt. EDUCATIONAL. The Normal Primary Arithmetic. pp. 103. Messrs. Sower, Barnes & Potts, Philadelphia, are the publishers of this "Normal Series of Mathematics." The author of the series is Professor of Mathematics in the Pennsylvania State Normal School, and in preparing the volumes he has been guided by the best methods, theoretical and practical, of modern instruction in the science of numbers and magnitudes. So far as we have been enabled to examine the volumes, their thoroughness and disciplinary tendencies have impressed. us very favorably, and we observe that many experienced educators who have applied to them the test of actual use in the school-room commend them very highly. The Elements of Moral Science. By Francis Wayland, D. D. pp. xxii., 396. Boston: Gould & Lincoln. Dr. Wayland's Moral Philosophy first appeared in 1835, since which time it has been largely introduced into educational institutions. A revised edition is now issued. The author states that, in his own use of it during the interval, as a textbook, he has derived great benefit from the free discussions of the lecture-room. A large portion of the work is unchanged, but it has had a thorough and painstaking revision. Some of the chapters and statements of principle have been modified, and a few of the former have been wholly rewritten. • MISCELLANEOUS. The Works of the Right Honorable Edmund Burke. Revised edition. Vol. 2. pp. 576. Boston: Little, Brown & Co. We have here the second volume of the edition of Burke's works now being issued by Little, Brown & Co. We have before commended its beautiful appearance. It is in every way a desirable addition to the library of every cultivated gentleman. Paper and typography are unexceptionable. The present volume contains the famous Parliamentary speeches on American Taxation, on Economical Reform, on Mr. Fox's East India Bill, together with speeches at Bristol, and letters to the Sheriffs and to the gentlemen of Bristol. Here also will be found that charming impromptu, upon declining the election at Bristol in 1780, in which Mr. Burke, in a few sentences, which could not have occupied more than ten minutes in their delivery, and which were delivered from the hustings, amid a mob of voters, exhibited the native greatness and cultivation of his heart and intellect more unmistakably perhaps than in his most elaborate efforts. One of his utterances on that occasion-" what shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue," has passed into an imperishable proverb. Indeed Burke abounds in those aphorismic sentences which fix themselves in the memory as fortunate condensations of wisdom. Good Company for Every Day in the Year. pp. 326. Boston: Ticknor & Fields. This title is quite appropriate, for the volume is an extremely companionable one. It is made up of stories and choice passages from some of our best writers, the subjects being diversified so as to present an agreeable variety of pleasant reading matter. The selections are illustrated by well-executed likenesses of the authors, thus constituting a portrait gallery of literary notabilities, interesting in itself irrespective of the text, and the bright binding and gilt edges render the volume otherwise attractive. The contents and appearance make it a pleasant and inexpensive gift-book. BOOKS WANTED.
