This present edition has been almost entirely rewritten and re-arranged. Several of the articles, as those on Eclampsia, Chorea, and Parasitic Skin Diseases, have been much enlarged; and others, as the various articles on the Diseases of the Stomach and Intestines, and that on Eczematous Affections, entirely rewritten. The new matter thus added amounts to nearly 200 pages. It has been the effort of the authors, while endeavoring to make the work fully represent the state of our knowledge upon the subjects treated of, to retain its eminently practical character; and with this view, an unusually large amount of space has been devoted to the consideration of the treatment of each disease.

MISS MITFORD's unpublished papers, as all readers of her lately issued Memoirs will be delighted to learn, prove to contain what the Athenæum terms "a rich crop of literary anecdotes and literary history." They are being prepared by Mr. H. F. Chorley for publication.

DISRAELI AND GLADSTONE.-The difference between the two representative party-leaders in England is not imperfectly shown by the books which they produce as the fruit of their parliamentary vacations. Mr. Gladstone plunges into Homer, and gives us Juventus Mundi. Mr. Disraeli sets his fancy and ingenuity to work, and presents a novel. Mr. Gladstone is a scholar and a man of thought; Mr. Disraeli is a genius and a wit. If the former may be called the Edmund Burke of the day, the latter must be called the Sheridan. But then Disraeli writes good novels, and they find more readers than his rival's learned essays. The twenty-three years which have elapsed since his last novel appeared ought to afford material for a romance as brilliant and fascinating as "Vivian Grey." His new work, Lethair, is a satire on various social and political follies. The author has the ability to make it just what one of its class should be-piquant, keen, witty, and readable.-Boston Advertiser. Lothair has, simultaneously with its appearance in England, been issued by the Appletons, who have purchased the advance sheets at a high price. "Lothair," the hero, is a young English nobleman of the highest rank, who, left an orphan at an early age, is intrusted to the care of two guardians, one a Scottish duke of the Presbyterian faith, and the other a cardinal of the Catholic Church. The plot turns, in part, on the struggle between these opposing forces, and embraces, besides, Fenianism and various other

piquant and interesting episodes. Some of the prominent characters of the novel are Americans, and in the course of it the American sculptor Story and his statues are very highly complimented.

HON. C. A. WASHBURN's work on Para

guay will give a complete history of that unhappy country, together with reminiscences of Mr. Washburn's own diplomatic career there in troublesome times, and a survey of the resources of the country, and its moral, social, political, and material condition and prospects. The book will be published by Lee & Shepard in two 8o volumes, with numerous illustrations.

Yonge's English-Greek Lexicon.-An interesting incident in book-publishing should be noted in connection with the second day of April. That morning the Harpers published the English-Greek Lexicon of C. D. Yonge, edited by Dr. Drisler and Dr. Short, a work which has been in their press just twenty years. The history of the volume would involve the most important occurrenthis publishing house; the great fire; the erection. ces in the building-up of the immense business of of the new iron edifice in Franklin Square, &c., &c. Two of the partners have passed away, and the younger members of the firm have grown up from boys to men, while the English-Greek Lexicon has been in preparation. In the mean time, the Harpers have often printed books of considerable magnitude, from title-page to colophon, within a short night.-Chicago Post.

Should the publication of this series in cheap form meet with favor at the hands of the public, they will be followed at short intervals by the Border Romances" of the same author, and those in turn by the remaining works to the completion.

Dr. Stow is in preparation; all interested in the book, and all who can aid the author by sending any facts or items of interest, or copies of letters written by him, will confer a great favor.

ADAMS & Co., Boston, have the Chameleon Top. It consists of a heavy metallic disk, variously colored, having a hollow stem, in which may be placed, while spinning, the bent wires accompanying it, which, as they rapidly revolve, assume the form of cups, vases, goblets, globes, urns, &c. By simply touching the disk, its color changes, presenting every variety of beautiful shades and combination of tints. A round, tricolored card is placed upon one of the wires, and, if touched while spinning, gives a yet more wonderful exhibition of colors, which constantly change from centre to circumference. By revolving the top upside down, a fine specimen of the Chromatrope, or Chinese Fireworks, is witnessed. This top will spin five minutes. Full appliances for running it, consisting of a porcelain saucer, handle, cord, wires, tri-colored card, diagrams and directions in English, French, and German are enclosed with the top in a neat box; price $1.50; if sent by mail, 63 cts, extra for postage They also have a steamship, 4× 14 inches; with boiler and flag; will steam and run for quarter of an hour, or longer.

D. B. BROOKS & BRO., 55 Washington Str., Boston, have now ready their new and fascinating Field Game Le Cercle, which is said to admit of much more variety and far greater skill in playing than Croquet, and also can be set up and played to advantage (when required) on about half the space ordinarily used for Field Croquet. It consists of 6 stakes with cross-bars, 1 ball attached to each end, and nearly touching the ground; 12 Wicket Pins; 6 Playing Balls; 6 Mallets; 1 large ball with stake, for, centre of circle; I starting post; I score table with 6 dials. Wickets are numbered from 1 to 6, cross-bar stakes the same, balls attached to cross-bars are numbered from 1 to 12. The patented ball shaped or spherical mallet is a new and important feature, and will eventually supersede the old style croquet mallet when its merits become known, as the present round bat, with all skilful base ball players, has wholly taken the place of the old square-sided bat. Being a perfectly round ball placed on a handle, it balances nicely in the hand, and cannot strike the foot in playing. It is also less liable to deface the balls. Another peculiar ity of the game is the swinging balls, 12 in number, handsomely painted and numbered, which, when struck by the players' ball ever so lightly, will vibrate like a pendulum, and immediately indicate which ball was struck. The iron wickets

of which ladies complain so much in croquet are

done away with, and neatly turned wood wickets are substituted. Le Cercle is pronounced far superior to croquet by eminent judges, among them Gov. Burnside, Chas. G Pickering, Esq., Jerome C. Butler, and many others.

P. C. GODFREY, 119 Nassau St., N. Y., has the Parlor Air Pistol, which, by the use of compressed air, shoots, by one charging, 5 to 10 shots, from 30 to 50 feet, accurate as a pistol. Price $3.50.
