These Guide-Books are all prepared by the same hand, and the second and third are quite as well entitled to the high praise given to "New-England," in the following notice:

"For years we have been waiting and wishing for a good hand-book of American travel, and at last we have it in Osgood's 'New-England: a Hand-book for Travelers.' In form, the work follows, in the minutest details, the Bædeker's guide-books, giving a sort of Continental air to the familiar scenes described; and there is the same directness, particularity, and businesslike compactness of statement, that is to be found in the Bædeker's series. It is prepared with great care and thoroughness, and is the best American guide-book that has yet appeared.”—The Independent.

"The editor, Professor Plumptre, has gathered round him a staff of contributors equal to that of any of the more pretentious Biblical dictionaries. For families and Sunday-school teachers it will be a mine of riches."-British Quarterly Review.

"The scholar, the Christian Minister, the student of the Bible, and the Sunday-school child, alike, will acknowledge that Dr. Farrar's 'Life of Christ,' like the Word of God itself, has the wonderful power of interesting by its directness and

simplicity as well as by the learning and wide observation

which the author so modestly displays in every chapter.
The day will come when no theological library will be con-
sidered to be complete without these volumes.'
