way, and their freshness, origenality, invention,
homeliness of atmosphere and application, direct
ness of style, forcible Anglo-Saxon terms, and
marvellous fullness of illustration commend them
to the every day reader and the student alike.
All men cannot do everything, and so we may not
expect in Mr. Beecher profundity of argument,
or vivid theological interest; but there are some
qualities even more indispensable than these;—
there is the closeness and pungency of appeal to
the conscience of the hearer, and there is the
fidelity of the ambassador which tesehes him to
labor humbly and solemnly to grasp from the
inspired record the true meaning of his message,
—these prime qualities we miss in these otherwiie
attractive, eloquent and even charming discourses
on religious truths.
One class of sermons which many readers
would be specially glad to possess are reserved
and will possibly be published in a volume by
themselves; those in which Christian, truth, is,
applied to the questions of the day. An Index,
of moderate proportions, accompanies the work.
THE WOMAN'S KINGDOM, 'is another of the
popular healthful romances that are always wel
come, from the pen of "Miss leitmocK." The
Woman's Kingdom is a story such as every day
life among a very plain sort of people, might fur
nish the materials of. With no great amount of
refined story-telling skill, the writer yet effectively
conveys an old lesson which men and women of
all ranks still need to learn; the peril of ignoring
and sacrificing for pride, or covetousness, those
purer affections among which woman's kingdom
is found. The happiness of a plain woman, who'
is guided by then affections, is contrasted with a
beautiful woman who slights them. The illus
trations are numerous and many of them decidedly
good—many decidedly otherwise. 800 pp., 183.

MESSRS. TICKNOR & FIELDS, (now FIELDS,
OSGO,III 6c CO.)
Have continued their Diamond Edition of the
Poets, by the issue of the COMPLETE WORKS OF
SIR WALTER SCOTT, in one volume,,l6mo.; price
41.25. It includes not only the well known lon
ger pieces, such as Lay of the Last Minstrel,
Marmion, Lady of the Lake, and the Ballads,
but also the many shorter songs scattered through
the novels, thus being the only popular, compact
edition containing all the poetry of the great
Wizard of the North. It is a triumph of art to
bring such great literary treasures within so
narrow a compasi and in a form so readable
:And tasteful. It is the fourth 'of the "DIAMOND'
EDITION" of the poets, which was begun in
1866 with Tennyson; the other two volumes com
prising Longfellow and Whittie It is proposed
to continue the series until the form a choice
cabinet library of popular poets. ' For' sale by
Lippincott & Co.
A curious and remarkable pair of volumes are
the PASSAGES BROM THE AMERICAN NOTE BOOKS
of Nathaniel Hawthorne, just published by
TICKNOR & FIELDS. They admit us to the inner
literary, and to some extent, personal, life of the
author. They are glimpses into the, workshop of
his art. They are full of intimations and
hints; of studies, as we might say; , of minute ob
servations, upon various aspects of nature, which
have been jotted down, apparently for use in such
literary works as he might undertake. Judging
from these volumes, Mr. Hawthorne must have
looked at and weighed almost everything with the
eye of an artist and of a writer. In the extracts
from his private letters we have interesting views
of his experience as a Custom House officer and
as a member of the Brook Farm .Community.
The notes and letters extend from 1835 to 1853.
They reveal to us a mind endowed with unusual
powers of observation; quick, sensitive, acute,
yet without those deep moral and religious sym
pathies, which give the highest value to revela
tions of the inner life of a fellow-man. The volumes
are handsomely printed on tinted paper. 2 vols.

THE SABBATH QUESTION is a very handsomely,
printed thin volume of sermons, by Rev. GEORGE
B. BACON, of Orange, New Jersey. It takes
the attenuated view of the Day and its Sanctions,
which results from denying the binding authiiiity
of the decalogue, and is chiefly remarkable from
the supposition that such views are so novel and
important as to demand publication, and from the
idea of the writer that the Sabbath is sufficiently
sustained when the supports of Old Testament
legislation are withdrawn from it. Published by
C. SatinNEn. & Co. 1 vol. 12mo. $l.OO.
Our townsman CHARLES D. CLEA.VELAND has
been employing some of his leisure abroad in a
work most praiseworthy, both from its patriotic
and devotional spirit. It is the collecting and
editing, in his own scholarly, satisfactory way,
the best specimens of American Sacred Poetry,
published under the title of LYRA SACRA AMER
ICANA. He was led to this work, as he tells us,
by the ignorance of the good people of Great
Britain in regard to this branch ofohr literature.
The contents which are rich, delightful and well
selected, are a noble testimony to the sanctified
lyrical genius of our country. They are arranged
according to the alphabetical order of the authors'
names, and according to the chronological sue : .
cession of each author's poems. They are ac.

"THE BIRD" OF MICHELET.
This is one of the daintiest and most attractive
volumes internally and externally that ever issue
from the press. It gives us the romantic side of
that most romantic of all the kingdoms of nature,
the birds. It is the work of a poetic and highly
gifted mind, but of one, who, at the same time,
has; with the thoroughness of true genius and
with the ardor of a lively sympathy, informed
himself well upon his subject. There is an ini
mitable charm and grace in the language. All the
leading facts of bird-life and of the birds' wide
relations to the other parts of nature are eloquently
described. It is one melodious song with a
its mul-
titude of variations upon theme; it is the Epic
of the Bird. '
But not less remarkable than the matter of
the volume are the 210 illustrations which give it
such inexhziustible.interest. They represent the
'bird in every characteristic attitude, and in the
most lifelike forms. They combine in a reinark
able degree, embellishment and illustration. The
drawing and the execution of the cuts aretalike
masterly; the typography, paper and bindidg are
faultless. We know of ho gift book more certain
to give great and enduring satisfaction. It is a
large octavo of 340 pages, published by T. NEL
SON & SONS, London, Edinburg, and New York.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Two American Tract Societies.—The
Executive Committee of the American Tract So
ciety, New York, at their stated meeting, Oct. 19th,
1868, adopted the following minute:
"A communication was received from the Ameri
can Tract Society at Boston, stating that a special
meeting of that Society had been called on the Ist
instant, - when the Terms-of Agreement, which had
been formally sanctioned:and ratified by both So
cieties, were rescinded by that Society, on the al
leged ground that those terms of agreement had not
been fulfilled on the part of this Society, in certain
particulars mentioned in a printed statement which
was laid before the Society at Boston by their Exe
cutive Committee, to which paper the attention of
this Committee has been called. Wnereupon it was
unanimously
"Resolved, That it is due to the constituency of this
Society to record on the minutes of this Committee,
that those Terms of Agreement and the Exposition
thereof as sanctioned by both Societies and publish
ed in their respective Annual Reports, have been
faithfully fulfilled by this Committee and this So
ciety's Executive officers, in all the matters referred
to in this statement and in all other respects ; and
this Committee know no just reasons why the last
article in those Terms of Agreement, providing for
an amicable adjustment, "if any future matter of
difference should arise between the two Societies,"
is not binding upon both Institutions ; and this
Committee are still unanimously in favor of such a
reference.
"Resolved, That the five members of the Com
mittee of Conference on the part of this Society,
Messrs. Wood, Titus, Budington, Eastman, and
Stevenson, be requested to prepare and issue such a
statement of the whole subject as they shall judge
the best interests of this Society now require.'

lIS paper has been recently, enlarged to mammoth proportions.
Tis THE LARGEST RELIGIOUS PAPER IN THE WORLD. It is the
leading organ of
_the Union Movement, and opposes ritualism, close
communion, exclusiveness and church caste. It is the only paper
that . publishes HENRY Wean Bascom's Sermons, which it does
every week, just as they are delivered,—without qualification or
correction by him. It advocates universal suffrage; a union of
Christians at the polls; and the rights of labor. It has the best
Agricultural Department of any paper in the world; publishes
stories for the family, and for the destruction of social evils. Its
editorial management is impersonal; its writers and editors are
from every branch of the Church, and from every grade of society.
It has been aptly termed the freest organ of thought in the
world.
Such a paper; offering premiums of Sewing Machines, Dictiona

makes one of the best papers for canvassers in the world.
