MMT1MW Or 2iJW BOOKS.
From J. B. Lippincott &. Co. w.bav
received tha following Dew publications:
"Tbe Destroyer of the Second Republic,
being Napoleon the Little," ii the title under
which Sheldon t Co. have issued a transla
tes of Vietor Hugo s famous tirade Against
the "nephew of his node." This book is in
Tietor Hugo's best and worst style, audit has
particular interest now in view of the
astounding events of the past six months.
"Napoleon the Little" is not merely an indig
nant protest against a great crime, but it is a
swathing satire ou the criminal, and its author
exhausts his vocabulary of inveotives in en
deavoring to express his contempt and hatred
fox the individual who ended his career by.
the humiliating surrender of Sedan. The
work was first published in 185 2, and for
eighteen years it has been a standing protest
Against the "crime of December 2d;" and
f ead to-day, in the light of events that have
eourred subsequent to that date, its bitter
imsi has increased in intensity by age rather
than diminished. 'Napoleon the Little" is
cm of the notable books of the age, and it
a one of the most important contributions
that has yet been made to the literature of
the second empire.
"The Shadow of Molooh Mountain" is the
taking title of a new novel from the pen of
Mrs. Jane Q. Austin,' published by Sheldon
Jb Co. It is a powerfully written story,
irongly marked by the defects no less than
he merits of Mrs. Austin's style. The in
terest is admirably maintained, and the book
is one that few readers will be willing to lay
iown before finishing it.
"Nature's Aristocracy," by Miss Jennie
Collins, published by Lee & Shepard, is an
Joqnent plea for not exactly "woman s
rights in the usual acceptation of the term,
fcvt for the removal of some of the disabilities
under which women labor, and for better
opportunities for them to work at remunera
tive wages. Miss Collins writes earnestly,
sad the book is one that those who are in
terested in the woman question will find it
profitable to read with attention.
"Every Day," by the author of "Katharine
Morris," published by Noyes, Holmes & Co.,
M an unpretentious but interesting story that
Will find many appreciative readers.
Of their own publications J. B. Lippincott
& Co. send us the following:
"In the Rapids," by Gerald Hart, is a novel
of much merit, but surely the author must
fee sadly deficient in invention, when he is
obliged to fall back upon such a stale and
himsy device as the representation that he
obtained it from a manuscript found in a
fault at the foot of a secret stairway in the
demolition of an old family mansion. So far
M the story itself is conoerned it is tolerably
well told, and some of the incidents are de
scribed with much power.
"Cross Purposes," by T. C. De Leru, with
illustrations by W. B. Myers, is a lively and
attractive little Christmas story that will
well repay a perusal.
"The Merman and the Figure-head," by
Clara F. Guernsey, is a Christmas story that
is distinguished by much fine humor and
quaint fancy. It is illustrated by a number
of clever designs of the Messrs. Bensell.
From Porter & Coates we have received
the following new publications:
"Mother Goose for Grown Folks," by Mrs.
A. D. T. Whitney, published by Loring, is a
ew and enlarged edition of a boos: that was
deservedly popular last season. Mrs. Whit
Bey draws a number of morals from "Mother
Koose," and her verses will be enjoyed by
grown folks as much as the nursery rhymes
wre by the youngsters.
One of the most successful holiday books
f last season was "Midsummer Night's
Dream," with illustrations in silhouette by
Pal Konewha, ' and Roberts Brothers have
Accordingly issued for the present holiday
eason a very beautiful volume containing a
series of subjects from Goethe's "Faust" by
the same artist. Some of these are admira
ble, but they do not equal the "Midsummer
Might's Dream" designs, for the very suffi
cient reason that "Faust" does not furnish
the same opportunities for the quaint,
tumorous, and graceful display of the artist's
fancy that Shakespeare's fairy comedy does,
The designs are accompanied by extracts
from Mr. Bayard Taylor's new translation of
"Fam-t," which will shortly be iwnaed by
Fields, Osgood & Co.
4tSink or Swim; or, Ilarry Raymond's Re
olve'by Horatio Alger, Jr., publinhed by
Loring, is the seoond volume of the "Luck
and Pluck" series, and like its predecessor is
d signed to illustrate the truth that a manly
spirit is better than the gifts of fortune.
From T. B. Peterson & Brothers we have
teeeived "Garstang Grange," a novel of Eng
lish society, by T. Adolphus Trollop, in
which he abandons Italy and commences to
encroach upon the preserves of his brother;
and "Comstock's Elocution," a new edition
ef a standard work that has for many years
enjoyed a high reputation both with teachers
and scholars.
The fiftieth number of "Zell's Popular
.Encyclopedia" brings us down to the title
"Banguinaria." This number, according to
the original announcement, would complete
the "Encyclopedia," but the improvement
introduced since its commencement necessi
tate several additional numbers, which wil
be furnished to subscribers free of expense,
"ZelTa Popular Encyclopedia" is remarkably
complete, and considering the extent and
value of its contents, it is one of the cheapest
books ever published. A more appropriate
ift for the holidays could scarcely be sug
gested, as it will be a valuable addition to any
library and will be appreciated by both old
and young.
From Turner A Co. we have received
J? try Saturday, Apj)letou' Jvuriuil, and Oar
l-oyt and Oitlt.
From the Central News Company we have
received the latent numbers of AU the Year
t Jiuumlt pud I'uii,
THE MAGAZINES.
SCRIBNKirs MONTHLY."
The contents of the January number of
Scribner's JtontMy are as follows:
"Fairmount Tark," illustrated, by Newton
Crane; "Kings of the Air," illustrated, by
Burt G. Wilder; "The Goblin of the Ice," il
lustrated, by Dr. I. I. Hayes; "Tartlni's

illustrated, Miss Malony on the Chinese
Question; "A Christmas Carol," wordes by J.
G. Holl and, musio by George J. Huss.
The leadingpaper, on "Fairmount Park," by
Newton Crane, will especially interest Philadel
phia readers. It is a very satisfactory and
accurate account of the Park and its history,
and it is made additionally attraotive by the
numerous illustrations by one of our best
Philadelphia landscape artists, Mr. Thomas
Moran. The demands of the holiday season
have been especially kept in mind in the pre
paration of this number of Scribner'e, and its
Christmas stories, poems, and illustrations
will appeal very forcibly to the popular
taste in such matters. The promises
held out in the first number
of this magazine have been fully kept, atid
the issue for January presents a sufficient
variety to suit all classes of readers, and it
combines in an eminent degree good enter
tainment with nsef ul information. Scribner't
scarcely cornea into competition with the
other magazines of the day, but fills a plaoe
of its own, and the success that it has already
achieved is a proof that its publishers and
editors are upon the right path.
"IHB bALAXVi"
The contents of the January number of
The Galaxy are as follows:
"Lady Judith, a Tale of Two Continents,".
by Justin McCarthy, chapters xi and xii;
"What May Be," by Nora Perry; "David,
King of Israel," part ii, by A. H. Guernsey;
"Borne Uecollections of an Old Woman," by
E. De M.; "Love-Song," by M. F. G.; "Over
land," chapters xxii, xxiii, and xxiv, by J. W.
De Forest; "Louis Adolphe Thiers, "by Justin
McCarthy; "The Man Who Didn't," by Edgar
Fawcett; "Fort Pickens: Facts in Relation to
the Reinforcement of Fort Pickens in the
Spring of 18C1," by Gideon Welles; "Types
of American Beauty," by Junius Henri
Browne; "Ought We to Visit Her?" a Novel,
by Mrs. Edwards; "Drift-Wood, by Philip
Quilibet; "Scientific Misoellany;" "Current
Literature;" "Memoranda," by Mark Twain;
"Nebula, by the Editor.
The article in this number of 77k! Galaxy
that will probably attract most attention is
Mr. Gideon Welles' narrative of "Facta in
Relation to the Reinforcement of Fort
Pickens in the spring of 18C1." This paper
is a continuation of the one by Mr. Welles
that exoited so much comment a month or
two ago, and it is at the same time a reply to
some of the criticisms and explanations
called forth by the first article. Mr.
Welles in these articles proves that he
is now, and that he has been, wider awake
than some persons imagined, and whatever
opinions may exist as to the justice or in
justice of his inferences, he has undoubtedly
made a valuable contribution to the inside
history of the early days of Mr. Lincoln's
administration. The other articles present
sufficient variety in style and subject, and
2 he Galaxy commences a new volume and a
new year with brilliant prospects of being
even more attractive in the future than it has
been in the past.

EtLtttie Engineerivy Magazine presents a
variety of valuable articles culled from the
