THE DAILY" EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEK '10, ib'60. 3 LITERA?UrE. M S V IE W OF NEW BOOKS. I). Ashmcad sends us two volumes of 'The Library of WomlorV yublisuoil by D. Ajipletoii A. Co. "Meteors, THrolites, Storms, and AtmoHpheric rhonomena," translated from the French of Zuvcher nud Margollo by William Lackland, although designed partic ularly for popular reading, is a very satisfac tory treatise on an exceedingly interesting Scientific subject. It is written in plain and mnderstandablo language, with an avoidance of technical terms that will be highly grati fying to the majority of those who take up the book. The authors evidently understand their subject in all its bearings, and in dis easing the various atmospheric phenomena they shed upon it all the light of the most recent researches and discoveries. The work is illustrated by a number of excellent wood cnt, and while it cannot fail to afford enter tainment to any who will take it up, it ap pears to be exceedingly well adapted for a School text-book. "Aims and Armor," by Charles r.outelle, M. A., is a description of the offensive and defensive arms of antiquity and the middle ages, with a descriptive' notice of modem weapons. This is a work that certainly sap plies a desideratum. It is very complete, and the same amount of information on an impor tant and interesting subject has hitherto been unattainable outside of rare and costly works that were out of the reach of the majority of readers. The present work is an amplification of a treatise in French by M. 1 Lacomte, und all the original engravings are trans ferred. The English translator has added a preface, index, notes, and treatise on English wins and armor, which add greatly to the value of the book. "Appletons Illustrated Almanac" for 170 is nicely illustrated, and it contains a number of well-written articles on various subjects. "Woman: Her Itights, Wrongs, Frivi leges, and Responsibilities" is the title of a new work on the woman question, by L. P. Brockett, M. D., and published by L. fcSteb bins, Hartford, Conn. A sketch is given of the condition of women in all countiies from the earliest ages to the present time, and the rights and wrongs of the women of the pre sent day are discussed in a mannor to com mand attention. The author dooms woman suffrage as inexpedient and injurious, and he gives at length his ideas as to what reforms . are really needed to remedy fho ovils that are acknowledged to exist. The work is illus trated with a number of engravings, and it is written in a plain and popular style. It will 1)0 sold only by agents to subscribers. Another subscription book is ''Forty Years' Recollections of P. T. Barnuni,'1 ad vanced sheets of which wo have received from the publishers, J. 15. Bitu & Co., Hartford, Connecticut. This will bo much more com plete than the great humtmgger's former autobiographical effort, and it will doubtless prove a very amusing and readable work. It will be published both in English and Ger man, and it will be illustrated by thirty-three fnll-pnge engravings. AVe understand that the autobiography of John 1?. Gough is in press and will shortly be issued. Humor speaks of this as a work of great interest that will be eagerly read by the mioiy admirers of the great temperance lecturer. Jlr. Gough is in many respects a very remarkable man; he is a natural-born orator, and there is no public speak? of the day who possesses the same power of holding spell-bound an audience. If the story of his life is as interesting as his lectures, it will be ne of the most popular works of the day. The Presbyterian Publication Committee send us "Stories for all Seasons;" "Too Big;" ' and "The Freed Boy in Alabama;" three reli gious stories for children suitable for Sunday school libraries. From Claxton, Kemseu it Ilaffelfinger we have received the fourth volume of Har per's edition of George Eliot's works, which includes "Scenes from Clerical Life," which first established the reputation of the writer, and "Silas llarner," a short but very power fnl story, some passages of which, ara not surpassed by anything George Eliot has written. The some house sends us Harper's cheap paper edition of Charles Bcade's 'Teg Wof lington," with which are bound up "Christie Johnston," "Clouds and Sunshiue," "Art,", dramatic tale, and other short sketches; "The Minister's "Wife," by Mrs. Oliphant, an excel lent fctory of Scottish life; and a "Greek Grammar for Beginners," by Professor W. II. Waddell,'xof the Georgia University. This work gives only the essonliul principles and paradigms in the simplest possible form, and it is designed to be committed to memory from beginning to cud. It is not intended for a book of reference, but for a practical school book that will initiate the student . into the mysteries of the Greek language with as little circumlocution as possible. news suffsstAij?.
