SCHLEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY,

The Philosophy of History, in a course of Lectures delivered at Vienna, by FREDERICK VON SCHLEGEL, translated from the German, with a Memoir of the author, by J. B. ROBERTSON. Handsomely printed on fine paper. 2 vols. 12mo.

“To do a mere reviewer’s justice to such a work would require many numbers of our journal. It is quite unnecessary to do more than direct attention to a production which, beyond all others, has contributed to exalt and purify modern science and literature—a work to which, in the eloquent words of a great man, ‘we owe the attempts at least to turn philosophy’s eye inward on the soul, and to compound the most sacred elements of its spiritual powers with the ingredients of human knowledge.’”—_Literary Gazette._

THE NATURAL HISTORY OF SOCIETY, IN THE BARBAROUS AND CIVILISED STATE.

An Essay towards discovering the Origin and Course of Human Improvement. By W. COOKE TAYLOR, LL.D., &c., of Trinity College, Dublin. Handsomely printed on fine paper. 2 vols. 12 mo.

“A most able work, the design of which is to determine from an examination of the various forms in which society has been formed, what was the origin of civilization, and under what circumstances those attributes of humanity, which in one country become the foundation of social happiness, and in another perverted to the production of general misery. For this purpose the author has separately examined the principal elements by which society, under all its aspects, is held together, and traced each to its source in human nature. He has then directed attention to the development of these principles, and pointed out the circumstances by which they were perfected on the one hand, or corrupted on the other.”

“We perceive by the preface that the work has had throughout, the superintendence of the very learned Archbishop Whately.”—_New-York American._

APPLETON’S TALES FOR THE PEOPLE

=And their Children.=

The greatest care is taken in selecting the works of which the collection is composed, so that nothing either mediocre in talent, or immoral in tendency, is admitted. Each volume is printed in the finest paper, is illustrated with an elegant frontispiece, and is bound in a superior manner, tastefully ornamented.

The following have already appeared uniform in size and style:

=WHO SHALL BE GREATEST?= A Tale: by MARY HOWITT. 1 vol. 18mo., plates.

“The great moral lesson inculcated by this book is indicated by its title; and while it is prominent enough through the whole volume, it comes out at the close with most impressive effect. We need not say it is a lesson which every human being is the wiser and the better for learning. We cordially recommend the work to all who would desire to form a sober and rational estimate of the world’s enjoyments.”—_Albany Evening Journal._

=SOWING AND REAPING=: or What will Come of It? by MARY HOWITT. 1 vol. 18mo., plates.

“We commenced it with the intention of just looking it over for the purpose of writing a cursory notice; but we began to read, and so we went on to the finis. It is very interesting: the characters are full of individuality.”—_New-Bedford Mercury._

=STRIVE AND THRIVE=: a Tale by MARY HOWITT. 1 vol. 18mo., plates.

“The mere announcement of the name of the authoress, will doubtless bring any of her productions to the immediate notice of the public; but Strive and Thrive is not a book for children only, but can be read with pleasure and advantage by those of a more mature age. It fully sustains the reputation of its predecessors. The style is easy and flowing, the language chaste and beautiful, and the incidents of the tale calculated to keep up the interest to the end.”—_New-York Courier & Enquirer._

=HOPE ON, HOPE EVER=: or the Boyhood of Felix Law: by MARY HOWITT. 1 vol. 18mo.

“A very neat volume with the above title, and the farther annunciation that it may be called Tales for the People and their Children, has been written by Mary Howitt, whose name is so favourably known to the reading community.”

“This volume like all others that emanate from the pen of this lady, is extremely interesting; the characters are naturally drawn, while the feeling and passion displayed, give the work a higher rank than is usually allotted to Nursery Tales.”—_Commercial Advertiser._

=THE LOOKING GLASS FOR THE MIND=: or Intellectual Mirror, being an elegant collection of the most delightful little stories and interesting tales: chiefly translated from that much admired work L’ami des Enfans; with numerous wood cuts—the twentieth edition. 1 vol. 18mo.

The stories here collected are of a most interesting character, since virtue is constantly represented as the fountain of happiness, and vice as the source of every evil—as a useful and instructive Looking Glass, we recommend it for the instruction of every youth, whether Miss or Master; it is a _mirror_ that will not flatter them or lead them into error; it displays the follies and improper pursuits of youthful hearts, points out the dangerous paths they sometimes tread, and clears the way to the _temple of honour and fame_.

=THE SETTLERS AT HOME=: by HARRIET MARTINEAU. 1 vol. 18mo.

“The circumstances under which this little volume, for the amusement of children, has been produced, give an additional charm to its truth, simplicity, and feeling. The tale, though in one passage sorrowful enough to moisten many a pair of eyes, is full of interest and character. The latter, we may add, is as much appreciated by children as the former; and they will take as lively an interest in Ailwin’s ignorant and unselfish fidelity and her stalwart arms, and in Roger Redfurn the gipsy boy’s gleams of better nature, as in the developement of the main incident of the book, a disastrous flood which spread devastation over the Isle of Axholme two hundred years ago.”—_Athenæum._

“The early tales of Miss Martineau, written to inculcate and illustrate, by practical examples, the truths of political economy, will survive her later and more controversial works. So in this little story of the History and ill-treatment of some Dutch settlers, in the fens of Lincolnshire—during the wars of the Parliament because they were strangers, and because, moreover, they interfered with the wild and ague-shaken gunners and fishermen of the fens,—we see again the same shrewdness of observation—the same real interest in the welfare of the humble classes—the same sagacity, and occasional natural pathos, which rendered the politico-economical tracts so attractive, in despite of their name and subject.”—_New-York American._

=EARLY FRIENDSHIP=: a Tale by MRS. COPLEY. 1 vol. 18mo., plates.

In introducing the name of a new writer to this series of popular works, the publishers cannot but express their desire that all who have purchased previous volumes, will buy this, being assured it will commend itself to the reader so that the name of Mrs. Copley will soon, like the name of _Howitt_, be a passport to the notice and favour of the whole reading community.

=FAMILY SECRETS=: or Hints to those who would make Home Happy, by Mrs. ELLIS, author of “The Women of England,” “Poetry of Life,” etc.

“The tendency of this book is one of the best and noblest. The scenes and characters are, it is believed, portraits. Aiming as it does at the correction of a too prevalent vice—it is expected that the Family Secrets will command amongst the serious and thinking part of the community as extensive a popularity as Nicholas Nickleby does in its peculiar circle.”

=PAST DAYS=; a Story for Children. By ESTHER WHITLOCK. Square 18mo.

“It is a delightful, instructive little book; and if the child, when she closes the volume, find her ‘eyes red with weeping,’ let her not be ashamed; one old enough to be her grandfather, caught the same disease from the same source.”—_Philadelphia United States Gazette._

HAZEN’S SYMBOLICAL SPELLING-BOOK.

The Symbolical Spelling Book, in two parts. By EDWARD HAZEN. Containing 288 engravings, printed on good paper.

“This work is already introduced into upwards of one thousand different schools, and pronounced to be one of the best works published.”

☞ The following are among the many favourable opinions expressed of this work.

_From L. Meignen, Professor of Music, Philadelphia._

“G. Kingsley,

“Sir,—I have carefully perused the copy of your new work, and
it is with the greatest pleasure that I now tell you that I
have been highly gratified with the reading of many of its
pieces. The harmony throughout is full, effective and correct;
the melodies are well selected and well adapted; and I have no
doubt, that when known and appreciated, this work will be found
in the library of every choir whose director feels, as many do,
the want of a complete reformation in that department of music.
Believe me, dear sir,

“Yours respectfully,

“L. Meignen.”

_From Mr. B. Denman, President of the David Sacred
Music Society, Philadelphia, to George Kingsley._

“Dear sir,—Having examined your ‘Sacred Choir,’ I feel much
pleasure in recommending it as the very best collection of
Church Music I have ever seen. It combines the beauties of
other books of the kind, with some decided improvements in
selection, arrangement and composition, and commends itself
to the choir, the parlour and social circle. Wishing you the
success your valuable and well-arranged work merits, I am, sir,

“Yours respectfully.”

_From the Committee of the Choir of Yale College._

“Sir,—We have been using for some time past your new
publication in the choir with which we are connected. We take
pleasure in stating to you our entire satisfaction with the
manner in which it has been compiled and harmonized, and would
willingly recommend it to any of the associations desiring a
collection of Sacred Music of a sterling character and original
matter. The melodies are quite varied and of an unusually
pleasing character; and uniting, as they do, the devotional
with the pleasing, we have no hesitation in giving them our
preference to any other collection of a similar character at
present in use among the churches.”

_From Three Leaders of Choirs._

“Mr. George Kingsley.

“Sir—We have examined the ‘Sacred Choir’ enough to lead us to
appreciate the work as the best publication of Sacred Music
extant. It is beautifully printed and substantially bound,
conferring credit on the publishers. We bespeak for the ‘Sacred
Music Choir’ an extensive circulation.

Sincerely yours,

“O. S. Bowdoin.
