PUBLISH THIS DAY:

A Daughter of Bohemia.

I.

By Christian Reed, author of "Valerie Aylmer," "Morton House," etc. One vol., 8vo. Illustrated. Paper covers, $1.00; cloth, $1.50.

From the Golden Age.

"Those who have followed the course of this remarkable story through APPLETONS' Journal will need no fresh incentive to induce them to read it in book-form; and to those who have not thus fallowed it, there remains an opportunity for real mental enjoyment, which we almost envy them. It is emphatically, thus far, one of the best novels of the season."

II.

Logic. Deductive and Inductive.

By Alexander Bain, LL.D., Professor of Logic in the University of Aberdeen. New and revised edition. I vol., 12mo. 731 pages. Price $2.00.

"The present work aims at embracing a full course of Logic, both formal and inductive."

[ocr errors]

In an introductory chapter are set forth such doctrines of psychology as have a bearing on Logc, the nature of knowledge in general, and the classification of the sciences, the intention being to avoid doctrinal digressions in the course of the work. Although preparatory to the understanding of what follows, this chapter may be passed over lightly on a first perusal of the work.

"Mr. Mill's view of the relation of Deduction and Induction is fully adopted, as being the solution of the otherwise inextricable puzzle of the Syllogism, and the means of giving unity and comprehensiveness to Logic." - Extract from Preface.

III.

The Pathology of Nerve Centres and the Jurisprudence of Insanity: being a Course of Lectures delivered in Guy's Hospital. By J. Thompson Dickson, M.A., Lecturer on Mental Diseases at Guy's Hospital. I vol., 8vo. Illustrated with Photographs. Price $3.50.

"These lectures were first delivered in Guy's Hospital in the summer of 1869. They have of necessity been considerably modified since that time, and are now published as they were delivered in the summer of 1873, and are, in a great measure, a record of personal observation.”—Extract from Preface.

FIRST STEPS IN GENERAL HISTORY.

A SUGGESTIVE OUTLINE.

BY ARTHUR GILMAN, M.A.

[ocr errors]

AUTHOR OF "FIRST STEPS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE, 'SEVEN HISTORIC AGES,” ETC., ETC.

With Maps and Charts. In one volume, 16mo, cloth, $1.25. Uniform with "First Steps in English

Literature."

The object of this suggestive outline of General History is to stimulate the student to make thorough investigation, and at the same time to furnish a guide which shall indicate the general path to be pursued.

The points of this book which render it specially desirable for school use are: 1. Its orderly arrangement of topics. Each country is taken up by itself, and its history sketched before attention is turned from it, thus fixing the mind upon but one subject at a time. 2. Its compactness. It aims to present the historic events and names about which history gathers, and to concentrate the interest upon these, so that the young student may not be confused by a multitude of names and dates. 3. Its attention to the United States. The book being prepared by an American for use in American schools, not only is the history of the United States given more fully than in any similar book, but the needs of American children are constantly kept in mind. 4. Its recentness. The book is brought down in each case to the latest date, making it specially valuable to those who wish a correct outline of recent history. 5. Its illustrative apparatus. Maps purposely free from details exhibit the geographic relations of the countries; views of contemporary events are given in tables; foot-notes call attention to works of literature that bear upon special events, and a full bibliography enables teacher and student to expand their study of any particular period. A minute index renders the book very serviceable as one of reference.

Dr.

D. APPLETON & Co., have nearly ready two very important books on a very important subject. Maudsley's work on 66 Responsibility in Mental Disease" is a volume of the International Scientific Series, and while written so as to be popularly interesting, covers very wide scientific ground, treating of the history and treatment of the insane, the nature of insanity, its curious manifestations, and its prevention and cure, by a more thorough education. Dr. Carpenter's "Principles of Mental Physiology" covers still wider ground, and is a

NOTES IN SEASON.

THE Harpers' next publication day will bring out some very important books. Minister Motley's "John of Barneveld," a supplement, as it were, to his great history of the Netherlands, will be in two 8vo volumes, to match that work. The author considers the subject of his biography, who was "Advocate of Holland," the greatest man of his time. Dr. Schweinfurth's work on "The Heart of Africa," of which a London weekly speaks as "the most valuable volumes of travel which have seen the light of publication for many years. Neither in Grant's, Baker's, Burton's, nor Livingstone's books do we see central Africa so clearly as here." Will appear at the same time, as also Mr. Frank Lee Benedict's fourth novel, "John Worthington's Name." This brilliant writer, the author of "Miss Van Kortlandt," " My Daughter Elinor," and "Miss Dorothy's Charge," is pretty sure to write a good story.

EVERYBODY should be glad to learn that Col. T. W. Higginson's "Young Folk's History of the United States," suggested by Mr. G. B. Emerson, is nearly ready for printing at Lee & Shepard's, and will be issued in time for the opening of the schools It is written on the plan of Dickens' Child's History of England," and gives a much

next term.

MESSRS. JAMES R. OSGOOD & Co. have made an arrangement with Mr. Karl Baedeker for publishing his guide-books in this country. These, at present, consist of nine, containing descriptions and historical memoranda of those parts of Continental Europe most frequented by travellers-Belgium, Holland, the Rhine, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and adjacent islands. To increase their usefulness, Mr. Baedeker has supplemented his guide-books with a "Traveller's Manual of Conversation," in English, German, French, and Italian-a convenience which will be appreciated by all tourists.

PUNSHON'S Second volume (Estes & Lauriat) is to have the title " Men of the Mayflower and other Lectures." This house also promises a fine edition of Victor Hugo's "Tour on the Rhine."

SMITH, ENGLISH & Co., Philadelphia, have nearly ready for publication "Strauss as a Philosophical Thinker." A review of " The Old Faith and the New Faith," by Dr. Hermann Ulrici, translated, with an introduction and notes, by Charles P. Krauth. D.D. 16mo. $1. The subject is an interesting one at this juncture, and the American editor is thoroughly competent for the task he has undertaken. The firm will also publish in a few days "Solar Hieroglyphics; or the Emblematic Illustration of the Revealed Doctrine of the Tri-Personal Godhead, which are Discernible in the Solar Light, with an introduction, by Rev. J. Grier Ralston, D.D. 16mo. 75

OBITUARY.

MR. JOSEPH KREUZER, a widely-known and prominent Catholic editor and publisher of Baltimore, died at his residence in that city, March 4. He was of the firm of Kreuzer Brothers, a wellknown German Catholic publishing house in Baltimore, which founded in 1860 the German Catholic Gazette, undoubtedly the most extensively circulated German Catholic paper in the United States. Mr. Kreuzer leaves many friends behind him who will deeply feel the loss of such a member of the trade.
