STOCKTON. 1 [vol., 16mo, extra cloth, $1.25. The Rudder Grange papers, which have been so keenly enjoyed by the readers of SCRIBNER, are now published in book form. The adventures of Mr. Stockton's young couple in solving the problem of housekeeping on a small income, and the ingenuity of their devices, are as irresistible as the capital quiet humor with which they are told. Mr. Stockton's humor is of so refined and subtle a quality, and so dry at the same time that it is so inimitably good, that the Rudder Grange papers are likely to become little classics of their kind. II. CONFERENCE PAPERS. By CHARLES HODGE, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol., 8vo, cloth, $3. This suggestive and masterly volume cannot fail to be widely useful among clergymen of all denominations as exhibiting remarkable examples of that analysis, that logical grouping and perspicuous exhibition of truth which is an essential faculty of the effective preacher, and as presenting in an analytic form an amount and quality of homiletical example and suggestion probably not surpassed in the same number of pages in the English language. III. FAITH AND RATIONALISM. By Prof. GEORGE P. FISHER, D.D. 1 vol., 12mo, cloth, $1.25. This work sets forth the essential nature and the basis of Faith, and by contrast the method and spirit of Rationalism. It has to do with the philosophy of religion. Connected with the principal discussion are brief supplementary essays on the Relation of the Doctrine of Evolution to Theism, the Moral and Spiritual Elements in the Atonement, Christ not a Religious Enthusiast, etc. **The above books for sale by all booksellers, or will be sent, prepaid, upon receipt of price, by CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, Publishers, Nos. 743 AND 745 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.

CARLETON & Co. have just ready a new novel by Bertha Clay, entitled Lady Damar's Secret," and "Fallen among Thieves," a novel by Mrs. M. Louise Rayne, well known as the author of "Against Fate." New editions of Bertha M. Clay's "Thrown on the World," Evelyn's Folly," "Love works Wonders," and "A Bitter Atonement" are also ready. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS have just ready several new books, including the long-promised book of business counsel, essays on "The Secret of Success,' by W. Davenport Adams, a pleasantly written and instructive volume; Principal Alden's volume of "Thoughts on the Religious Life," with Mr. Bryant's posthumous introduction; and "The Art of FigureDrawing," in the Art Hand-book series. Their spring line has already attained goodly proportions. T. B. PETERSON & BROS. have now ready their edition of Zola's 'L'Assommoir," as translated by John Stirling, in uniform shape with their well-known issues of Mine. Gréville's and of Zola's other books. The novel was an. nounced by them some months ago, soon after the appearance of the French original. In presenting it to the American public, the translator has toned down certain of its passages, to make its realism less objectionable. Messrs. Peterson will presently publish 'Nana," Zola's story of theatre life. 66 66 D. APPLETON & Co. have just ready in the The Great Italpopular Handy- Volume Series ian and French Composers," by Geo. F. Ferris, whose 'Great German Composers" will be familiar to many; "Letters from Florida," by Mrs. H. W. Beecher, whose writings need ho indorsement; and a " Handbook of Requirements for Admission to the Colleges of the United States," with interesting information for the use of high schools, academies, and other preparatory institutions, compiled and arranged by A. F. Nightingale. 66 A. S. BARNES & Co. have just ready the ninth issue in their Atlas Series, on 'Higher Education and a Common Language," dealing with upper schools, universal education, university systems in Europe and America, the study of the classics, technical-school and industrial-art education, the necessity of reform in university methods of teaching, and the value of a universal language for international communication at the present time. These several subjects are treated by an equal number of eminent writers, among whom are Philip Gilbert Hamerton, President McCosh, Professor Angelo de Gubernatis, Eaton S. Drone, author of the recent work on "Copyright Law," and others. WHETHER it will be "the most popular book of the season" no man can say, but we are inclined to think it has a good chance. To wit, Mr. Stockton's "Rudder Grange," the four parts of which have four times convulsed the readers of Scribner's Monthly. It is out this week in very taking book form from Chas. Scribner's Sons, and the absurdities of the young couple who set up housekeeping in a canal-boat and afterward camp out in a Jersey back-yard, with the surprising adventures of their surprising domestic Pomona, are absolutely delicious. The same house also have ready Prof. Geo. P. Fisher's little book on "Faith and Rationalism," discussing the foundations of religious faith and incidentally the principal Christian doctrines. Connected with the principal discussion are brief supplementary essays on the Relation of the Doctrine of Evolution to Theism, the Moral and Spiritual Elements in the Atonement, Christ not a Religious Enthusiast, etc. Also Dr. Hodge's "Conference Papers," discourses delivered by him before the students of the Princeton Theological Seminary.
