Stories for Sunday Afternoons. By Mrs. DAWSON. Square

18mo, cloth, 1s. 6d. P. 6d. "This is a very pleasing little volume, which we can confidently recommend. It is designed and admirably adapted for the use of children from five to eleven years of age. It purposes to infuse into that tender age some acquaintance with the facts, and taste for the study of the Old Testament. The style is simple, easy, and for the

most part correct. The stories are told in a spirited and graphic manner.

"Those who are engaged in teaching the young, and in laying the foundation of good character by early religious and moral impressions, will be thankful for additional resources of a kind so judicious as this volume."—Inquirer.

A few Words to the Jews. By ONE OF THEMSELVES.
Foolscap 8vo, cloth. Price 3s. 6d. P. 6d.

The Beauties of Channing. With an Introductory Essay. By WILLIAM MOUNTFORD. 12mo, cloth, 2s. 6d. P. 6d. "This is really a book of beauties. It is no collection of shreds and patches, but a faithful representative of a mind which deserves to have its image reproduced in a thousand forms. It is such a selection from Channing as Channing himself might have made. It is as though we had the choicest passages of those divine discourses

read to us by a kindred spirit. Those who have read Martyria' will feel that no man can be better qualified than its author, to bring together those passages which are at once most characteristic, and most rich in matter tending to the moral and religious elevation of human beings." -Inquirer.

Bible Stories. By SAMUEL WOOD. 2 vols. 12mo, cloth 3s. P. 6d.

Local Self-Government and Centralization: The Characteristics of each, and its Practical Tendencies as affecting Social, Moral, and Political Welfare and Progress: including comprehensive Outlines of the English Constitution. By J. TOULMİN SMITH. Post 8vo, cloth. Original price, 8s. 6d. ; reduced to 5s. P. 1s. "This is a valuable, because a thought-chapters of the soundest practical philoful, treatise upon one of the general sub-sophy; every page bearing the marks of jects of theoretical and practical politics. profound and practical thought." No one in all probability will give an ab. solute assent to all its conclusions, but the reader of Mr. Smith's volume will in any case be induced to give more weight to the important principle insisted on."-Tait's Magazine.

"Embracing, with a vast range of constitutional learning, used in a singularly attractive form, an elaborate review of all the leading questions of our day."-Eclectic Review.

"This is a book, therefore, of immediate interest, and one well worthy of the most studious consideration of every reformer; but it is also the only complete and correct exposition we have of our political system; and we mistake much if it does not take its place in literature as our standard text-book of the constitution."

"The special chapters on local self-government and centralization will be found

"The chapters on the Crown, and on common law and statute law, display a thorough knowledge of constitutional law and history, and a vast body of learning is brought forward for popular information without the least parade or pedantry."

"Mr. Toulmin Smith has made a most valuable contribution to English literature; for he has given the people a true account of their once glorious constitution; more than that, he has given them a book replete with the soundest and most practical views of political philosophy.". Weekly News.

"There is much research, sound principle, and good logic in this book; and we can recommend it to the perusal of all who wish to attain a competent knowledge of the broad and lasting basis of English constitutional law and practice."-Morning Advertiser.

"Mr. Emerson is not a common man, "Beyond social science, because beyond and everything he writes contains sugges- and outside social existence, there lies the tive matter of much thought and earnest-science of self, the development of man in ness."-Examiner.

"That Emerson is, in a high degree, possessed of the faculty and vision of the seer, none can doubt who will earnestly and with a kind and reverential spirit peruse these nine Essays. He deals only with the true and the eternal. His piercing gaze at once shoots swiftly, surely, through the outward and the superficial, to the inmost causes and workings. Any one can tell the time who looks on the face of the clock, but he loves to lay bare the machinery and show its moving principle. His words and his thoughts are a

his individual existence, within himself and for himself. Of this latter science, which may perhaps be called the philosophy of individuality, Mr. Emerson is an able apostle and interpreter."-League.

"As regards the particular volume of Emerson before us, we think it an improvement upon the first series of Essays. The subjects are better chosen. They come home more to the experience of the mass of mankind, and are consequently more interesting. Their treatment also indicates an artistic improvement in the composition."-Spectator.

"We cordially recommend these volumes to the attention of our readers. . . . The work is in every way worthy of the character and experience of its distinguished author."-Daily News.

"These admirable letters were, we believe, first introduced to notice in England by the Athenæum;' and perhaps no greater boon was ever conferred upon the English reader than in the publication of the two volumes which contain this excellent translation of William Humboldt's portion of a lengthened correspondence with his female friend."--Westminster and Foreign Quarterly Review.
