pitot’s Call*. Publishers will confer a favor by mentioning the prices of all books sent to this Department. Sketches of Palestine, descriptive of the visit of Bor. Edward Payson Hammond to the Holy Laud, with an introduction by Rev. Robert Knox, D.D., Pastor Linen Hall St. Presbyterian church, Belfast. London, Morgan & Chase ; Dublin, Moffat & Co.; New York, Kelson & Sons. 180 pp., 18mo. These “sketches” are inverse, and beautifully orna mented with colored engravings and a map of Palestine. They are in the measure of Longfel low's Hiawatha; not always so smooth and mu sical as the latter, but by no means destitute of merit. Some things a severer taste would have omitted, but those who know the author best will take no little interest in following him in his varied wanderings through that interesting land, especially as he sees everything from the religious standpoint, and tries to turn everything to the best account for the glory of his Master. The little map and colored engravings are worth the price of the book. From Carters’ we have three good hooks. The first, Tales from Alsace, or Scenes from Life taken from Old Chronicles of the Reforma tion, would win its way almost without the cor dial appreciation expressed in the sparkling and yet critical paragraphs of Saint-Hilaire’s intro duction. It is a book full of gems; brief tales of noble endurance for the faith; true Protestant Acta Sanctorum, told by one qualified not only by hearty sympathy and fine Christian sentiment, but by mastery of narrative style, and by an eye to the picturesque in all the surround ings. We should be glad to see it in the hands of every young person.—After an unusually long interval, our young readers—and none grow too old to appreciate some writers for the young—will hear with delight of another A. L. 0. E. book. The one before us, made up of half-a-dozen different stories, is called by the title of the first, John Carey, or What is a Christian ? and is marked with the author’s usual skilful handling of the most directly Evan gelical themes, in such a way as to command the interest, whije winning and instructing the heart and conscience, of the reader. 16m0., pp. 350, price 90 cts. The third of these volumes is E. H. Bickersteth’s Hades and Heaven, containing two brief and Scriptural treatises upon the estate and employments, first, of the Blessed Dead, and second, of the Risen Saints. The views expressed are sound and judicious and in arrangement, and in some of the suggestions, original. They will be read with deep interest and profit by the thoughtful Christian, and will help to deepen the hold of eternal things upon his mind. The little volume is elegantly printed and bound. In paper covers, but upon fine tinted paper, we have, from T. B. Peterson & Bros., of this city, a new and enlarged edition of Hans Breit mann’s Party, by Charles G. Leland. Under the guise of a mixed dialect, made up of broken English, and good English, of broken German, and good German, in itself an element of the keenest drollery, we have the comic adventures of Hans Breitmann, in society, in battle, as a camp follower, as a Turner or Gymnast, and in other situations. Mingled with all are not a few sharp thrusts at German transcendentalism; but the author’s chief purpose seems to be the entertainment of his readers, on the broadest and most convulsive scale, in which he is, amply suc cessful, particularly where the broken dialect of the imperfectly naturalized German is matter of familiarity. "While the poetry is free from all impurity, it is entirely too true to the coarse pro fanity of the beer-swilling type of Teutons, to he unqualifiedly recommended as a source of amuse ment. But its distinguished and novel quality as a literary performance must be fully admitted. Price 75 cts. I'AUrHIETS AND PERIODICALS. Dr. Schenck’s Memorial Sermon of the Life, Labors, and Christian character of Phineas D. Gurley, D.D., is an admirable illustration of what singleness of aim, and earnest Christian purpose in the ministerial profession can achieve, without those intellectual endowments which are the object of a worldly ambition. As pastor of our martyred President, his name is associated with some of the most memorable scenes in the world's history; in these he bore himself most creditably. His pastoral life in Indianapolis, Dayton, and Washington, was eminently success ful. His labors in the Old School part of the Joint Committee on Reunion, were in the inter est of Gospel liberty as well as of orthodoxy, and if he died comparatively young (in his 52nd year,) he was taken at a period in his life and activity, most favorable to the durability and honorableness of his reputation. With the ser mon is connected aq account of the Funeral Services, various resolutions, and a poetic tribute to the good and lamented pastor s memory. The Christian World, the Monthly Maga zine of the American and Foreign Christian Union, has been greatly improved in appearance and in the quality and arrangement of the con tents, It is one of the most instructive and ably conducted magazines of, its class.

The Tracts lately issued by the Union, on the Popish Controversy, are a new and hopeful fea ture of the Society’s activity. It is known that the Romanists have been scattering tracts by the thousand, in which the offensive features of their system are toned down, and the most plausible representations of its character and aims are made. Several of these recent issues of the Union are in direct answer to the Romish tracts, as : ‘“ls it honest V Answered;” “ The Propagandists of Romanism in the U. S.;” “Americanized Roman ism.” Others are : “ Should Protestants send their Children to Catholic Schools ?” “ The Se ductive Power of the Romish Ritual,” “ The Ro man Catholic View of Education,” “ Romanists and Romish Countries.” They are prepared with care, and their distribution will promote the cause of truth and of sound Evangelical piety.

Strangford, who recently died at the early age of forty-three, was a man of great learning! He spoke Persian, according to Per sians themselves, with the mastery and elegance of a highly educated native; and so wonderful was his knowledge of Greek, that he was familiar with every dialect, could detect in a single sen tence the district from which any speaker had come, and anywhere in Greece could scarcely have been known as a foreigner by his speech. He wrote very little, and his article on “The Eastern Shores of the Adriatic,” in the “ Quar terly Review,” of August,: 1866, a few reviews some time back in the “ Saturday Review,” and his frequent contributions to the “ Pall Mall Gazette,” are but a faint index to his fine intel lect and his immense knowledge. —There has lately been a great deal of activity in the publishing trade of Dublin.
