one to scholars. It is to be issued in parts, and in the original Hebrew, Greek, and Chaldee text. In the first parts of the Hebrew and Greek, the accent and pronunciation accompanies the word, and all through an English equivalent is placed over the word in the text; thus rendering the work a specially useful one to students and beginners, even without a teacher's aid. Practical and grammatical notes elucidate all the obscurities of the original. Seven parts of the work have already been published-three in Hebrew, three in Greek, and one in Chaldee. The Old Testament will embrace some nineteen or twenty parts, while the New Testament about seven or eight. The parts of the Old Testament sell for $3, and the New for $2, or where subscription is made to the whole work a reduction is made, as will be seen by the advertisement in this number.

THE WONDERFUL LIFE, by Hesba Stretton. (Dodd & Mead.) This is a plain, continuous narrative of the life of Jesus Christ, as derived from the incidents recorded in the gospels. It is not an attempt at any thing new, the orthodox idea of Christ as the Son of God being the leading one of the work. To unlearned readers it offers a most beautifully written story, and one which possesses in its construction and development proofs of the great talents of its author. 12mo, cloth, $1.50. A RAMBLING STORY, by Mary Cowden Clarke. (Roberts Bros.) This story is characterized by a delicate fancy and a poetical grace of composition, which render it one of the most charming fictions recently issued. The story is told by a young painter, an Englishman, who pursues a fancy accidentally imprinted on his heart, through many romantic scenes and adventures. 12mo, cloth, $1.50. FAIRY FRISKET; or, Peeps at Insect Life, by A. L. O. E. (Robert Carter & Bros.)

The little girl of whom this story is written, is obliged to part with an idolized brother, whose misfortunes send him to China; she is left heart-sore and rebellious with some dear friends, good Christian people, who comfort her and teach her contentment, and who lead her through her troubles to strive to be "the Master's little handmaid." 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

H. Collins, with 76 illustrations. This series is already well known, and deservedly popular for educational purposes; it contains within small limits a great deal of information, is well gotten up, and very cheap. Ea., 16mo, cloth, 75 cents. OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY, by Emile Gaboriau. (Jas. R. Osgood & Co.) Paris is the scene of this novel, and the year 1872 the time during which its incidents occur. It is a story of crime and intrigue, in which the doings of the "Mutual Credit Society," apparently organized to obtain "other people's money," play a conspicuous part. 8vo, paper, 75 cents. GOVINDA SÁMANTA; or, the History of a Bengal Ráiyat, by the Rev. Lal Behari Day. (Macmillan & Co.) Although an addition to Macmillan's Popular Novels," this is scarcely a novel in the popular sense of the word. It specially deals with the village life of India, of which it gives some wonderfully vivid sketches; it tells a story too, of domestic life in Bengal, whereby the habits and characteristics of the people are reproduced with a fidelity and cleverness that has rarely been equaled. 12mo, cloth, $1.

It is printed on good paper, in double columns, and is very tastefully bound. 12mo, cloth, $2.50. BUSINESS CHANGES.

Gildenfenny at the old stand, No. 69 Fifth avenue. LITERARY AND TRADE NEWS. ROBERT CARTER & BROTHERS have nearly ready "Nature and the Bible," a course of lectures by Principal Dawson of McGill University, Montreal. His stand-point is not that of a theologian or metaphysician, but of a student of nature, who, while he has been chiefly occupied with investigations and teaching in Natural Science, has been a careful and reverent student of Holy Scripture, not with a view of supporting therefrom any particular school of theology, but of learning for his own spiritual guidance the mind of God. He sympathizes alike with those scientific students who are repelled from the Scriptures by current misapprehensions as to their teachings, and with those Christians who regard the advance of science with some degree of dread, as possibly hostile to religion, and his aim is to try and guide both to a better position in relation to the word and works of God. His subjects are, General Relations of Science to the Bible-Biblical Views of the Universe as a Whole-The Science of the Earth in Relation to the Bible-The Origin and History of Animal Life in Nature and in the Bible-The Origin and Early History of Man according to Science and the Bible-A Review of the Leading Schools of Scientific Thought.

Several forthcoming books are delayed in consequence. MR. MACGEACHY has started his Danburian, a rival to the Danbury News, of which he had charge during Mr. Bailey's absence up to the time of his difficulty with the publisher, and the press is full of praise for the wit and liveliness of the new venture.

A POPULAR EDITION OF THE CELEBRATED BOOK! MEMOIRS OF GEORGE IV., THE PRINCE, THE KING, AND THE MAN. Ready Monday, March 1st. This noted book, of such By ROBERT HUISH. I vol., fine crown 8vo, of nearly 500 pages: heavy paper cover. Price, $1.25. Permanent Historical Interest and Value, But now so rare as to be ALMOST PRICELESS TO CONNOISSEURS AND LIBRARIES, Is here reproduced in beautiful and popular form. Its celebrity is due to the fact that it is a relentless portraiture of the life, habits, tastes, and acts of GEORGE, as Prince, Monarch, and Man. It tells the story of that life, from the cradle to the grave, without gloss or fear, and presents a picture of his Companions, his Court, and his Cabinet, which his descendants and the Lord Chamberlain may well be excused for desiring to suppress. The author is no mere scandal-monger, but the fearless historian and biographer, who dares to record the truth, even though the glory of royalty itself be dimmed, and the "First Gentleman of Europe" be proven to have been a person whom none will care to emulate.
