Histoire de Jules Cesar.

7

Par S. M. I. NAPOLEON III. Tome Premier. 8vo. With Maps and Portrait.

"No work has excited as much attention as the Life of Julius Cæsar, by the Emperor Napoleon, which has been so many years in preparation, involving the expenditure of large sums of money in procuring material and examining localities.”—Miss. Republican.

"We are glad to see it in this form, because we get a clearer insight into the illustrious author through his own vernacular. The original gives the best spirit of a book, and it is always to be preferred."-Boston Gazette.

The Handbook of Dining, or

Corpulency and Leanness Scientifically Considered; comprising
the Art of Dining on Correct Principles, Consistent with Easy
Digestion, the Avoidance of Corpulency, and the Cure of
Leanness. Together with special remarks on the subjects.
By BRILLAT-SAVARIN, author of the "Physiologie du Gout."
Translated by L. F. SIMPSON. 12mo. Cloth.

"This is a book that almost everybody will wish to read, as almost every one is either too fleshy or too lean, and consequently will desire to see what directions so eminent a writer as Savarin gives to prevent one and cure the other. The volume contains curious facts and suggestions, and some very valuable ones."-Eastern Argus.

Freedom of Mind in Willing, or

Every Being that Wills a Creative First Cause. By ROWLAND
G. HAZARD. 12mc, pp. 455. Cloth.

"It is a very admirable work; a book for thinkers.”—Boston Gazette. "A valuable addition to the literature of the subject; its style is clear and its arguments both strong and well put."—The Methodist.

Beatrice. By Julia Kavanagh,

author of "Nathalie," "Adele," "Queen Mab," etc., etc. Three volumes in one. 12mo. Cloth.

"This is one of the best novels published in a long time. The authoress has achieved a reputation second to none in the literary world as a romance writer. This is her last great effort, and it is a remarkably interesting one. The plot is a candid embodiment of great ideas and action."-Troy Times.

"The scene is laid in one of the suburbs of London. The insight into certain phases of social life which it gives is curious. The heroine 'Beatrice' is a striking character. The plotting Frenchman 'Gervoise' is also drawn with consummate art. In a word, there is more real sturdy stuff in Beatrice than in a score of the current novels of the day."-Albany Evening Journal.
