We rejoice that this work lias been republished in this country, and we cannot too strongly commend it to the serious perusal of the churcties of every name. — Ch. Alliance Its arguments and appeals are well adapted to rouse to action, iiml the times call for such a book, which we trust will be universally read. — N. Y. Ob server. This is eminently a timely production, from an author who is already a great favorite with the pub lic. — N. E. Puritan. Avery seasonable publication. The church uni versal needs a re-awakeaing to its high vocation, and this is a book to effect, so far as human intellect can, the much desired resuscitation. — N Y. Com. Adv. 11. Modern French Literature. By L. Ray mond De Yerscour, formerly Lecturer in the Royal Athenaeum of Paris, Member of the Institution of France, &c Revised with notes, relating principal ly to authors prominent in the late Revolution at Paris, by Win. S. Chase. With a fine portrait of Lamartine. This Treatise has received the highest praise as a comprehensive and thorough survey of the various departments of Modern French Literature. It con tains biographical and critical notes of all the promi nent names m Philosophy, Criticism, History, Ro mance, Poetry, and the Drama ; and presents a full and impartial considera 1 ion of the Political Tenden cies of France, as they may be traced in the writings of authors equally conspicuous as scholars and as statesmen. Air. Chase, who has been the Parisian correspondent of several leading periodicals of th s country, is well qualified, from a prolonged residence in France, his familiarity with its Literature, and by a personal acquaintance with many of these au thors, to introduce the work of De Vericour to the American public. “ This is the only complete treatise of the kind on this subject, either in French or English, and has received the highest commendation. Mr. Chase is well qualified to introduce the work to the public. The book cannot fail to be both useful and popular.” —N. Y. Eve. Post. “ For the scholar, the politician and general read er, this is a highly interesting and valuable book. The Literature of France is an index revealing its political course and tendencies, as well as a develop ment of national mind and character.” — Phil. Ch Observer. 111. The Silent Comforter.

Principles of Zoology. Touching the Structure. Development, Distribution and Natural Arrangement of the Races of Animals, living and extinct; with numerous Illustrations For the use of Schools and Colleges. Part I. Comparative Phys iology. By Louis Agassiz and Augustus A. Gould extracts from the preface. “ The design of this work is to furnish an epitome of the leading prin dples of the science of Zoology, as deduced from the present state of knowledge, so illustrated as to be intelligible to the beginning stu dent. No similar treatise now exists in the coun try, and, indeed, some of the topics have not been touched upon in the language, unless in a strictly technical form and in scattered articles. Being designed for American students, the illus trations have been drawn, as far as possible, from American objects Popular names have been employed as far as possible, and to the scientific names English termination has generally been given. The first is devoted to Comparative Physi ology, as the basis of Classification ; the second, to Systematic Zoology, in which the principles of Clas sification will be applied, and the principal groups of animals briefly characterized. A work emanating from so high a source as the j “ Principles ol Zo dogy,” hardly requires commen ; dation to give it currency. The public have become j acquainted with the eminent abilities of Prof. Agas | siz, through his Lectures, and arc aware of his vast learning, wide reach of mind, and popular mode of illustrating scientific subjects. In the preparation of this work, lie has had an able coadjutor in Dr A. A. Gould, a frequent contributor to the Tra sacuons of the Boston Society of Natural History, and at present engage 1 upon the department of Concholo gy, for the publication of th > late exploring expedi tion. The volume is prepared for the student in Zoological Science ; it is simple and elementary in ; it-* stylo, fu 1 in its illustraUon, comprehensive in its | range, yet well condensed, and brought into the narrow compass requisite for the purpose intended.
