 Kerr's Magistrates' Acts. 
 
 8vo. Cloth ; pp. 435. Price, $3.oo. 
 
 THE MAGISTRATES' ACTS OF 1869. With Notes, explan- 
 atory of the Texts, Forms and Precedents. By W. H. Kerr, 
 Barrister-at-Law. 
 
 This work contains all the Acts relating to the duties of Justices of the 
 Peace, and other Magistrates out of Session. These Acts are applicable to 
 the whole Dominion of Canada, and modify the laws of all the Provinces. 
 The text is given of the 
 
 Summary Convictions and Orders Act. 
 Indictable Offences Act. 
 Summary Jurisdiction and Larceny Act. 
 Summary Jurisdiction in Criminal Cases Act. 
 Which came into force January ist, 1870. 
 
 Act to amend the Act relating to Justices of the Peace, May, 1870. 
 
 These Acts are all thoroughly annotated so as to be a guide to Magistrates. 
 
 The book contains, also, an Introduction to the Law cf Evidence, and an 
 account of the nature of the duties and mode of appointment of Justices of 
 the Peace. 
 
 A complete .collection of Forms is also given, — not only the Forms 
 appended to the Statutes, but a large number of suitable Forms from 
 standard English authorities, so as to provide for every possible case. 
 
 The work contains, moreover, a Table of such Statutes and parts of 
 Statutes as have been repealed, and the text of such portions of the Statutes

 of the old Prov'inccs of Canada, Nova Scotia and New I'runswick, as have 
 been preserved from repeal, and which arc, consequently, very important for 
 ready reference to every Magistrate. 
 
 Comiilctc Indexes to subjects and to forms render the work easy of 
 consultation. 
 
 " The clifTiculties experienced by Justices of the Peace in the country districts of C.inada, in 
 till.' administration of the law, have been very considerably increased by the want of any suit- 
 able books as guides in cases coming before thejn. It is true that there have been a few 
 general rules to be found in works prepared for the purpose, but these have been so imperfect 
 that the country magistrate lias ot'ten been rather hindered than lieiped in the discharge of 
 duties, sometimes of a rather important nature. In addition to this want, there has been so 
 many changes made in the Statutes, that it is not to be wondered if mistakes liave been com- 
 mitted by men who are not supposed to be cliosen so mucli for their intimate knowledge of 
 law, as from their possession of such a modicum of good sense as to enable them to dispose 
 equitably of matters in dispute coming before thera fur decision. The present work by Mr. 
 Kerr, well known for his abilities as a criminal lawyer, cannot but be found exceedingly useful. 
 It has been prepared with great care, and wiil be found to contain directions for all proceed- 
 ings likely to be brought before Justices of the Peace. The titles will give a f;iir idea of the 
 subjects treated of. Under these will be found the mode of appointment, the nature of the 
 duties, tlie jurisdiction as to locality, &c., the rules as to evidence and the Jurisdiction of 
 Quarter Sessions. All the acts are recited at full Jengtli, with very copious notes and forms, 
 with addenda (very much required in such a work, ) showing the sections of the Statutes of 
 the old Provinces preserved from repeal by schedule B of 32 and 33 Vict., Cap. 36. The 
 forms are numerous and varied to suit almost every conceivable case, and a full and complete 
 index adds greatly to the value of the work, which, in a handy form, embraces pretty much all 
 the law that an ordinary Justice of Peace requires." — Montreal Herald, 
 
 " It is to be regarded as a most valuable acquisition to the list of Canadian publications, as 
 bearing upon a subject of so much importance to Magistrates and others concerned in the 
 administration of the law. In deiiling with his subject, the author has attained the merit of 
 being lucid and concise, whilst at the same time he has given additional importance to his 
 work by the citation of numerous authorities. The research and application necessary for the 
 proper application of these authorities can hardly be estimated at its proper value, and this 
 suffices to commend the work to the attention not only of Magistrates, but of professional 
 men." — Revue Critique.

 " This book is published by Messrs. Dawson Brothers, Montreal, and it is most season- 
 able. The Insolvent Act, now extended to the Lower Provinces, with soire modifications, 
 has long been in operation in ihe Upper Provinces, where the barristers have made a special 
 study of it. We have no doubt the notes, decisions and other raatiets contained in tlus

 "Wc have rceived from Dawson Brothers, of Montreal, a copy of the new Insolvent Act, 
 published by their house. It forms a small volume, neatly and strongly bound, and very 
 well 'got up.' Its arrangement is such as greatly to facilitate reference to the different 
 subjects ; and its index, unlike that of our own Provincial Statutes, i' a sure and easy gi'ide 
 to its contents. The work is calculated not only to meet the exact requirements of men in 
 the profession, but also to be of great assistance to mechanics and official assignees." — 
 Hall/ax Chronicle. 
 
 "■ The value of a manual of this kind will be tlie more apparent from the fact that the s.ime 
 iiisolvejiilriw applies to all the provinces of tlie Federation. It is important, [moreover, to 
 »i"«(dvv the changes made in the act of iS(34 herein set forth. The Compiler and Editor thus 
 states his object : ' To illustrate the legal meaning of certain sections of the law chiefly by 
 decisions of the Courts of Ontario and Quebec on analogous sections of the act of 1S64 ; and 
 of others by decisions of the English, Scotch and French tribunals.' The work is well 
 calculated to meet the needs of the profession, and the hope of Mr. Popham, that the In- 
 solvent Act should thus be made intelligible and useful to merchants and official assignees. 
 It should have a large sale in Quebec." — Quebec Chronicle.

 " The great usefulness of this work, and its appreciation by tlie public, have been fully 
 demonstrated by the rapid sale of the first edition. The necessity for a second edition is, 
 however, more directly referable to the fact that during the three years or more since the Civil 
 Code came into force, many of its provisions have, in diiTerent degrees, been affected by stat- 
 iiovy legislation. An excellent synopsis of the changes in the law effected by the Civil Code 
 of Lower Canada, has been drawn up by the author, and at the end of the volunje a table of 
 special references is given to show the articles more particularly useful to notaries, clergynieft, 
 jihysicians, real estate owners, merchants.and persons out of Lower Canada." — QuebccGazette.

 "Dr. Dawson is certainly entitled to a prominent place among the scanty band of combatants 
 who are gifted with this rare faculty of double vision. He is at once a Geologist of no mean 
 distinction, and a firm believer in the inspiration of the Hebrew Scriptures ; a combination of 
 which it has been well observed, that were it more commonly to be met with, there would be 
 more faith on the earth and also more PhWosophy."— London Literary Gazette.

 tant topics discussed. Candour, good sense and fine christian spirit, happily distinguish Prin- 
 cipal Dawson's work from many which on both sides of the Atlantic, have been written on the 
 same subject. We were aware of Dr. Dawson's accomplishments as a Geologist, but we were 
 not prepared to accord to him that varied learning, evidences of which are apparent in thij

 ACADIAN GEOLOGY. The Geological Structure, Organic

 Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. 
 Second Edition ; revised and enlarged ; with a Geological 
 
 Map and numerous Illustrations. By J/ W. Dawson, LL.D., 
 
 Principal of McGill College, Montreal. 
 
 The first edition of Acadian Geology being nearly exhausted, and the public 
 surveys of the maritime Provinces of British America not having made suffi- 
 cient progress to render the work unnecessary to geologists and mining explo- 
 rers, a second edition is in press, enlarged and brought up to the present state 
 of knowledge, and with many additional illustrations. 
 
 The amount of new matter to be added to the work may be estimated front 
 the fact that thirty important papers bearing on its subjects have, since the 
 date of the first edition, been published in the Journal of the Geological So- 
 ciety of London, and the Canadian Naturalist alone ; and an amount of matter 
 
BOOKS rUDLlSUED liV 
 
 equally large has been issued in other scientific periodicals, and in public re- 
 ports. The author has also in his possession much unpublished matter. 
 
 The mining resources of Nova Scotia and New Ilrunswick have been very 
 largely developed since t!ic issue of the first edition, anil it is proposed to give 
 as full an account as possible of the new mining enterprises, and to enter into 
 the important questions connected with the extent of the known deposits of 
 useful minerals and the prospects of new discoveries. 
 
 The author has much pleasure in stating that he has been able to secure the 
 valuable co-operation of the Kcv. Dr Honcyman, F.G.S., in the Geology cf 
 Nova Scotia, and that of I'rof Bailey, of the University of New Brunswick, in 
 the Gtclogy of that Province, as well as the aid of several other able workers, 
 on the Geology of the Lower Provinces, whose contributions will be fully 
 acknowledged in the work. 
 
 " It requires only a glance at tlie work to perceive that there is here one of the most 
 important of niodera contributions to tlie science of Palaiontological.Botany." — Geological

 "The economic geolagy of the region is kept well to the fore, also its physical geogra- 
 phy and agricultural characteristics as dependent on its geological structure. Many subjects 
 of great interest in general geology, are iUustrated or described in this volume, especially the 
 nature of coal, the flora of the coal, preservation of erect trees, origin of gypsum, life in seas, 
 estuaries, &.c., trails, rain-marks, and footprints, albertite, gold, primeval mar., iic. Upwards 
 of 270 woodcuts, mostly excellent in character, a good geological map, ,, and, lastly, several 
 lists of contents, special subjects and illustrations, a valuable appendix, and useful index 
 complete this satisfactory, well-written and well-printed work, on the geology, and geological 
 resources of Acadia." — Annals and Magazine 0/ Natural History, 
 
 " The general reader will find many pages of pleasant and lucid description, amplified from 
 the former work, while the political economist will obtain from it a full description of the min- 
 eral resources of the Acadian provinces and statistics of their development during the last

 HAND-BOOK OF ZOOLOGY; wi.h Examples from Can- 
 adian Species, recent and fossil ; by J. W. Dawson. L.L.D., 
 F.R.S., &c.; with 275 illustralio'.s. 
 
 This book contains 272 pages, and js illustrated by 275 wood-engravings. 
 In selecting subjects for illustratiof., the author has invariably chosen such 
 animals as the student c; find l'i,r himself in the woods or streams of British 
 America. The fossil anii.ials vt our country are also represented by illustra- 
 tions of the leading species fcand in Canadian rocks. 
 
 The work is, however, no', confined to Canadian zoology only, oul: is a com- 
 plete manual on the gcnerr.l subject. The illustrations are of Canadian sub- 
 jects, because it seems reasonable that each species should be represented in 
 the memory of the learner in Canada by some living creature which he may 
 himself capture and study. 
 
 •' This little book is from the pen of Dr. Dawson, Principal of McGill University, who has 
 gained for himself a well-earned reputation as an accomplished Naturalist, llis works on 
 Geology and kindred sciences hold a high place in the estimation of the learned, not only on 
 this continent, but also in Europe. One is prepared, therefore, to find everything coming 
 from his pen worth reading, and likely to contain important and original matter, more partic- 
 ularly on any subject which ho has made a specialty, as in the case of the present publication. 
 His Hand-book on Zoology is very carefully, correctly, and neatly got up, and contains 273 
 illustrations. The examples are taken mainly, if not entirely, from Canadian species, recent 
 and fossil, and we regard this an important feature in the book for Canadian students and 
 naturalists. It is extremely desirable to have text-books for our schools and colleges suited 
 to our growing Dominion, and bearing on subjects especially connected with it. On this 
 account we hail the present work as a valuable addition to our school and college literature, 
 and trust it will have an extensive sale." 
 
 "We are glad of the appearance of this handsome little book. We have had nothing 
 hitherto adapted to our own schools, in which examples were found of ' Canadian Species, 
 recent and fossil.' This book admirably supplies this felt want ; and, in the hands of Dr. 
 Dawson, its accuracy and thoroughness, though a merely elementary text-book, may be un- 
 questioned. The arrangement and size of the type is all that could be desired, while the 
 illustrations are not only numerous, but are well adapted to illustrate the text and render the 
 study a less dry and uninviting one to the young learner." 
 
 " Zoology is too much neglected in our schools, principally, no doubt, on account of the 
 dry compendiums too often rut into the hands of the timid beginner at the very outset. Pro- 
 fessor Dawson's book, having been prepared for the use of his own classes, cannot but sup- 
 ply this desideratum. The clearness and conciseness of style, the methodical arrangement 
 of material, together with that complete comprehension of his subject which could be the 
 result only of yeais of patient study, will make this work doubly welcome to those for whose 
 use it is intended. The publishers have done their part well. This neat manual in hand- 
 some binding, and aboundiug in illustrations of our Canadian fauna, is calculated to prove

 THE REPORT OF PROGRESS FROM THE COM- 
 MENCEMENT TO 1863 ; Illustrated by 498 Woodcuts. 
 One vol., large 8vo., pj,. 983, $5.00. 
 
 *' The style in which this work has been got up, the precision of the drawinp;, and the accu- 
 racy of the woodcuts, may almost challenge comparison with the execution of similar 
 productions on this side of the Atlantic. There has been a steady persistence in the conduct 
 of this remarkable survey, honourable alike to the successive Governments that have 
 encouraged it, and to the officers who have carried out the work. No other Colonial Survey 
 has ever yet assumed the same truly national characte'' ^.nd the day may come— if ever the 
 " Imperi.il Colony " shall claim and obtain independence — when the Scientific public of a 
 great nation, looking back upon the earlier dawnings of science in their land, shall regard the 
 name of Logan, native born, with the same affectionate hiterest with which English 
 geologists now rci^ 1 the names of our great geological map-makers, William Smith and De 
 la Beche." — London Saturday Review. 
 
 " This large octavo, of 983 pages, illustrated with 498 woodcuts, and to be accompanied by 
 an atlas of maps and sections, presents a condensed view of the work of the Canadian Survey 
 from its commencement in 1S43. It gives the results of the combined labors of Sir AV. E. 
 .'.ogan, Mr. Murray, Dr. Hunt, and Mr. Billings, a staff not to be surpassed either in ability 
 or energy, and aided also by several able assistants, of whom Mr. Richardson and Mr. Bell 
 stand first. The value of this work to Canada can scarcely bo over-estimated. It must be 
 regarded as of vast importance, whether we consider readers abroad or at home, whether we 
 consider scientif r objects purely or those which are practical. Its mechanical execution is an 
 evidence of the jirogress of the arts among us. Its publication to the world is a proof of the 
 interest taken in science in this country, and of the enlightened patronage affoided by the 
 Government to such investigations, and at the same time, of the immense value of our 
 mineral resources, as well as of the extent to which they have already been made available. It 
 gives for the first time to geologists abroad the means of making themselves thoroughly 
 acquainted with the geology of this country ; and it thus places Canada on a level with those 
 older countries whose structure has been explored, and the knowledge of it made the commoa 
 property of the world." — Canadian Naturalist.

 This truly great and beautiful Map will at once recommend itself to all 
 lovers of Geological Science in America. It consists of eight sheets, each 
 24 X 20J inches, and, when mounted on rollers, measures 8 ft, by 3 ft. 7 in. It 
 is engraved on steel, in the best style, and is coloured by hand in 33 colors, 
 showing the different formations. The Territory mapped extends from 
 Labrador on the East, to the Red River on the West, and from Hudson's 
 Bay on the North, to Northern Virginia on the South. Besides the Geology 
 of the British Provinces, (the main object of the map,) the Geology of the 
 Northern United States is fully shown ; and it is as completely a Geological 
 Map for the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New 
 Jersey, Vermont, Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, as it 
 is for Canada. The Coal Regions are shown with precision from Cape 
 Breton to Missouri. 
 
 " We have at length the pleasure of announcing the appearance of this important and long 
 looked-for contribution to American geology. The legend of the map informs us that 
 the geological details for Canada, comprising the former Provinces of Upper and Lower 
 Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) are furnished by the Geological Survey under the 
 direction of Sir William E. Logan. He has himself compiled the geology of the various 
 States of the Union under the supervision of Prof. Hall, from various sources which 
 are mentioned in detail in the preface to the Atlas of the Geology of Canada, (published in 
 1865), where he tells us that this portion of the work was done " with the approval of Prof. 
 James Hall, who has freely placed all his materials at the disposal of the compiler, and aided 
 by his intimate personal knowledge of the geology of a greater part of the region represented." 
 For the geology of the Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, also, 
 the most authentic printed and manuscript maps were consulted, as described in the Atlas 
 just referred to." — SilUman's y<rurttaf.

 " There is a decided superiority about this map over any of its size that we have yet seen, 
 whether as regards the distinctness of its colouring, or the accuracy and clearness with which 
 boundaries, livcrs, railroads, &c., are defined. In these essentials it forms a striking con- 
 trast to the generality of maps published in this country, which, if plain, are frequently so 
 faint as in many places to be hardly distinguishable ; and if colored, the work is done with so 
 heavy a hand, as often to hide entirely from view very many points of interest. The insei- 
 tion of the different railroad lines throughout the provinces has likewise been particularly 
 attended to in the execution of the work ; and then to give completeness to it, we have an 
 outline of the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, &c., clear through 
 to the sea-board, thus presenting not only the configuration of vhe British American Pro- 
 vinces, but the boundaries, and railroad and steamboat connections existing between them 
 and their neighbours. — Quebec Gazeiie.

 THE PROPHECY OF MERLLX AND OTHER POEMS. 
 By John Reade. 
 
 " A volume in every way worthy of the land of the Lakes. It is well written, well printed 
 and well bound. The author in his verses unites power with sweetness. He is a disciple 
 of Tennyson, whose writings he has studied with earnestness and care. The longest poem, 
 ' The Prophecy of Merlin,' is thoroughly readable, and though modeled ou the 'Idyls,' is 
 in no degree an imitation. * • That he (Mr. Reade) is capable of selecting a subject and 
 treating it effectively, his poem on ' Vashti ' is ample evidence. The local colouring of some 
 of the poems gives the l»ok an especial interest for Colonial readers. Every page in it is 
 worth perusal." — Dublin University Magazine. 
 
 " Mr. Reade is successful in his version of ' The Prophecy of Merlin.' Metrically and in 
 style it does not suffer in comparison with ' Morte d' Arthur.' 'Vashti' is really a fine 
 poem; as also 'The Old War Horse,' and 'Thalatta, Thalatta,' ' Killynoogan ' and 
 'Devenish.' The translations are good. In ' Andre Chenier's Death-Song,' Mr. Reade 
 has attained a success which reminds the reader of the spirited translations of Boranger, by 
 Father Vxo\x\.."—A'ew Vork World. 
 
 " The Poems show refinement, delicate feelings, religious sentiment, and carefully subdued 
 in tone, and free from all fantastic tricks with words, or startling and extravagant fancies." — 
 Boston A dvertiser. 
 
 " Mr. Reade's poetry is distinguished by great tenderness and depth of feeling, purity o*" 
 language and exquisite harmony." — Christian Guardian.

 *' Mr. Heavysege's last production, published in Montreal in 1865, is a sacred idyl, of 
 fourteen hundred lines, entitled ' Jephthah's Daughter.' As in the case of ' Saul,' the poet 
 here follows the narrative of the Bible. By many this poem will be considered the greatest 
 and most perfect of his productions, and if we had not already exceeded our hmits, nothing 
 would afford us more pleasure than to give our readers a score or two of splendid passages 
 from this poem." — IWashington IVeekly Chronicle. 
 
 " Canada can at length point to a poetical writer wliom even the fastidious criticism of 
 England cannot refrain from pronouncing respectable ; and this is saying not a little. To 
 Mr. Heavysege, of Montreal, the honor is due of being the first Canadian writer who has 
 attempted with success an elaborate poem. In the volume before us, the biblical story of 
 Jephthah's rash vow is narrated by the author with force and simplicity. The situations are 
 conceived naturally and without extravagance ; the dialogues and soliloquies are skilfully 
 worked up ; are full and well sustained. Occasionally the vein is Miltonic ; occasionally 
 Homeric. Almost everywhere the language, sentiment and rhythm are refined, and calcu- 
 lated to give pleasure to educated minds. This book, though bearing ' Montreal ' on its 
 title page, has been printed and brought out in the best style, in London. It will form » 
 beautiful and appropriate present at the approaching season of gifts." — Toronto Leeukr.

 THE CANADIAN GAME - LACROSSE — The National 
 Game of Canada. By W. G. Beers, Secretary of the Lacrosse 
 Association. With Photographic Illustrations of every position 
 in the Game. 
 
 This book is published with the sanction of the National Lacrosse Associa- 
 tion of Canada, and contains the Rules of the Game Vi last adopted. Also 
 a complete history and description of the Game as pl»yed originally by the 
 Indians. Twelve photographs by Notman, illustrate i^e practical part. 
 
 The book has been got up in the very best style, ai"! every endeavor has 
 been made to make it a worthy contribution to tb- literature, as well as 
 practice, of our National Game. The Historical A-'iociations are treated at 
 length, and notices of this interesting Game by Charlevoix, Carver, Basil, 
 Hall, Catlin, and oblier writers, are compared w''h the customs of the 
 present day. 
 
 " To the Indians must be awarded the credit of having iivented tlie game of Ijacrosse, and 
 unless archaeologists can prove that some superior type of humanity invented the manly 
 sport, it is only just they should have the honor of its inception. The present game in all its 
 laws and regulations is accurately defined by the author, W. G. Beers, and the materials for 
 play, and rules for posting and directing the players successfully described. The throwing, 
 dodging, and checking of the ball, and finally, the fielding and goal keeping that concludes 
 the volume, offer to the player many judicious hints, and as in all these manly sports nothing 
 can be better calculated to develope the physique of man, the work may be regarded as a 
 creditable addition to the sports of the field."— AVw York Turf, Field and Farm. '

 Although many useful books are issued for the benefit of Housekeepers, 
 this volume will supply a want hitherto unfulfilled. Receipts without number 
 are constantly given to the public by newspapers, magazines and larger 
 works, which are lost from the want of some means of classifying and pre- 
 serving them ; moreover, who is there that does not desire to retain a memo- 
 randum of familiar home dishes, some entirely out of date, and some unknown 
 to compilers of cook books, but still most savory because once prepared m 
 the old homestead, besides, many persons gather in, day by day, receipts 
 used by familiar friends and which are not to be found m print ; and this 
 Household Trkasury, with its complete classification, pvesented in an 
 attractive form, will be found admirably adapted for their reception.

 gravin^'s, a Map of New France and New England, and a 
 Map of the operations at the siege of Quebec, in 1759, with 
 AppendicL'i giving an oulline of the Constitution of the Do- 
 minion of Canada, a Table of Chronology for the History of 
 Canada, and Questions for Examination. By H. H. Miles, 
 M.A., LL.D. 
 
 " This little work li.is been prepared for the use of the Elementary and Model Schonib of 
 this Province, aiul received the s.inction of the Council of Public Instruction, as a manual 
 suitable for the instruction uf Catliullc and Protestant pupils alike. Its aim was to meet the 
 requirements of scholars of all denominations, and this end is likely to be achieved. In the 
 issue of this work, certain limits, as to the quantity of matter and expcni.e were imposed, 
 which has iircver'.ed llic coinpiicr from treating any important event in our history at length, 
 and has necessitated a modest typographical or mechanical appearance. But these draw- 
 backs apart, Dr. Miles lias acquitted liimself of his task with credit, and has given our youth 
 and our mature conimunity, loo, a Work at once highly interesting and useful. People unable 
 or unwilling to toil tlirou^li ponderous histories, can here find a clear methodical, reliable 
 sketch, of the le.idiiig events and incidents connected with Canada since its discovery by 
 Amerigo or Cabiit. The early slory of tlio French colonizttion is concisely and pleasantly 
 told, and the succeeding transactions, down to the English conquest and the second American 
 War, related in a similar manner. We believe Dr. Miles a careful and correct writer, and 
 judging from the passages we have read, are o( opinion the whole is entitled to public confid- 
 ence. In a work of tills nature, it was necessary to avoid prejudice, doubtful matters and 
 irritating allusions, which has certainly been done, so far as we have observed. We can 
 commend this little volume as an excellent reader and useful book of reference for all who take 
 ail interest in Canadian history. At the beginning is a map of Canada, interspersed through 
 its pages arc illustrations of prominent personages connected with the narrative, and at the 
 end is a sketch of our con.stitution and a table of chronology." — Quebec Chronicle.

 been prepared expressly for beginners and youthful rcailcrs, as a first course, 
 and, therefore, includes only the most striking and most important events. 
 The narrative, consisting principally of interesting accounts of the historical 
 characters and incidents, will easily, with the aivl of the general map at the 
 beginning, and of the chronological tables and set of questions at tlie end of 
 the work, be mastered by the youthful scholar. 
 
 " This unpretentious little volume seems well calculated to servo the purpose for which it 
 is intended. Thu language used is simple and easily comprehended, and i;istcad df bcinif a 
 mere uninteresting outline of the liistory, it consists principally of cccoiints of lilslorical 
 charactct's, and incidents graphically described and arranged in the order of time. 'I'lie iilus- 
 trations, though not very numerous, will add greatly to the attractiveness of the book for its 
 young readers. I'cachcrs will be glad to se: that there is a map at the commencenic.it of the

 THE DRAMATIC READER, comprising a selection of picct s 
 for practice in Elocution, with Introductory Hints to Readers. 
 By John Andrew, Instructor in Elocution, McGill College 
 and Normal School, and Master of Elocution, High School 
 Department of McGill C( liege, Montreal. 
 
 In making selections for the volume, the compiler has been guided by his 
 long cvperience as a teacher. While drawing only from authors of reputa- 
 tion, the object has been to extract such passages as are unhackneyed, inter- 
 esting and amusing. The pieces are mostly unabridged, and the book is 
 largely composed of extracts from the best Dramatists, including scenes 
 from Shakspeare, few of which have hitherto appeared in any class-book. 
 
 '■' We have looked over this work with the greatest pleasure. One of the most primary 
 elements of education ought to be to learn how to read, but it is what very few people realiv 
 do learn or at all understand ; for a mere mumbling or stringing out of printed words cannot 
 be called reading. The ' practical hints to readers,' whidi Professor Andrews has given, are 
 very dear, which is very much to say in their fevor, and they leave a distinct impressiua on

 The following recommendations are selected from hundreds of a similar 
 character : 
 
 " Gentlemen,— My attention was recently called to the revised Series of Copy- Books fijr 
 instruction in the ' Spencerian System of Pmctical Penmanship,' willi which system I liave 
 been acquainted for several years. I most earnestly recommend that these Copy-books ho 
 used in all the schools of the Stme."— Hon. Samuel L. Hugg, Supt. Pub. Iitstrttct., hid. 
 
 '■ We take great pleasure in giving our testimony to the excellence of the ' Spencerian 
 System of Penmanship,' by P. -v. Spencer and his associates. This system is now adopted 
 in the Michigan Normal School, and is giving complete satisfaction. We deem this lecom- 
 mendation an act of justice, not only to the superiority of the system, but also to Mr. P. R. 
 Spencer, to whom belongs the credit offrst originating' and introducing a complete system 
 of Penmanship in this country."

 " From a careful examination of the System, and from having seen the results of lessons in 
 it, we have been led to adopt the ' Spencerian System of Penmanship ' in our Normal 
 School, believing it to be betti'r adapted to the wants of teachers and pupils than any other 
 system in use"— CAar/M ff, Allen, Prin. IVisconsin State Normal School. 
 
 " This may certify that the ' Spencerian System of Penmanship ' was adopted by the State 
 Board of Education about one year since ; that the system is regularly used in the Penman-

 methods of teaching." — Perkim Bens, Prin, Stait Normal Univ., Bloominxton, III.

 " Mr. Taylor has given us a volume of great literary merit, whose excellence is only 'indi- 
 cated by its outside endowments."— i^/ow/r^a/ Herald. 
 
 "This volume de luxe, so exquisitely got up, is worthy of the care and expense bestowed 
 on its publication." — J ournal of Education, Province of Ontario. 
 
 i< • • • Few biographical pictures of the present times have been drawn with more 
 artistic skill. * • • Mr. Taylor has done a good work, and he has done a good worK 
 well. Thousands among us, who will not care to criticise his art, will earnestly thank him for 
 Ills labor. Even the critical will be compelled to admit the skill with which he has drawn 
 the outline, and the fidelity with which he iias filled it in . His heart has clearly been in his 
 work; otherwise he must have failed to enchain the reader as he does, or give us in such 
 recognizable form the character and lives of those whom he has chosen for his gallery."— 
 Toronto Daily Telegraph. 
 
 " • • • Mechanically the book is well got up, in true ecclesiastical style ; and from its 
 subject and the known ability of its autlior, will doubtless command a large sale in Canada. 
 • * • Those who, i . past years, fought and won the battle of 'no connection between 
 Church and State in Canada,' will rejoice to find in Mr. Taylor's volume ample admissions 
 of the happy results that have flown from the policy far which tliey were so long and so 
 vehemently denounced." — Daily Globe, Toronto. 
 
 *' Mr. Taylor's book suggests the thought, and the prayer, that in all substantial excel- 
 lencies, the appointments to bishoprics made henceforth by the Canadian Church for herself 
 may, at least, equal the last three made by the Crown." — The Guardian, London, England. 
 
 "The compiler of the records is happy in having oflered to his hand three men so clearly 
 distinct in character and history, -they, not unhappy in a memorial so genial and sagacious. 
 The biographies are interesting in themselves, and of use to American Churchmen for medi- 
 tation. • • • The life of Bishop Strachan is a study — we venture not on a brief view of 
 it. God raises up some men in the Church to stand like rocks in the stream of society, and 
 hold up to men certain powers and truths. We have enjoy.d these three scriptographs— of 
 three noble saints — of what is fast becoming the ' olden time.' It is a pleasant view they 
 give us into the inner workings of our sister Church. May she never lack such men — of 
 stateliness, of gentle purity, and heroic toughness,— in her good fight of faith ! — Church 
 fournal, New York% 
 
 " It was a happy thought to combine in one volume memoirs of the three bishops whost. 
 lives form the close of a distinct era in the history of the Anglican Church in Canada. Work- 
 ing out the idea with an evident relish, Mr. Taylor has accomplished his self-imposed task 
 well, and with perfect acceptableness, especially to the large subdivision of the Christian 
 community more immediately concerned in this subject." — The Church Herald, Toronto.

 of the_publisher, and the perfect getting up of the volumes." — The Eclectic Review. 
 
 " This is truly a magnificent scheme, to be hailed by readers of every evangelical class; 
 and, especially, because many of the golden treatises to be reproduced are at present 
 extremely scarce." — IVesleyan Methodise ATa^^azine. 
 
 "It is a noble work— a glorious work— in which hundreds and thousands of hearts will 
 wish the movers God-speed." — 'J'he Gospel Magazine. 
 
 " The type is most readable, the volume most elegant in appearance, and the price a 
 marvel, even in this age of cheap publications." — The Homilist. 
 
 "A more magnificent undertaking in the theological book-world was never attempted ; the 
 greatness of it can only be equalled by its value ; and this can never be adequately estimated, 
 even by those best acquainted with the intellectual wealth of the Puritan age." — The Primi- 
 tive Church Magazine. 
 
 " We have many cheap publishing schemes, but this far outstrips them all, and nothing can 
 sustain it but a very large sale. Our earnest desire is that this may be attained." The Patriot. 
 
 "Mr, Nichol is amply fulfilling his promises. The Puritans are appearing in their new 
 dress with the most exact punctuality in time, and with every condition of the original pro- 
 posal of publication observed, with one exception — that Mr. Nichol is giving more for the 
 money than he promised." — Patriot. 
 
 " They are not only valuable in themselves, but admirably edited, and marvellously cheap. 
 A cheaper and better series of theological works has never issued from the British press ; and 
 it cannot fail to enrich many a student's and minister's library, both at home and abroad." — 
 IVitness. 
 
 Nichol's Series of Commentaries. 
 
 Crown 4to. Ptice, $2 oo per Vol. 
 
 It was designed in this Series to reproduce those Commentaries of the 
 Pinitan period which had become difiicult to procure from their rarity and 
 the high prices at which alone they could be obtained. It was conceived by 
 those who were conversant with them, that their reproduction at a cheap rate 
 and in an agreeable form, would prove an acceptable boon to the student of 
 theologv, and render no small service to the preacher of the Gospel. The 
 Publisher has to express his regret that the demand for this Series has not 
 realised his expectation. This he attributes to the lact that the value of the 
 works has been lost sight of from their rarily in the market, ])ut as they 
 become better known he trusts their worth will be fully recognised. It were 
 unfair to either party to compare these Puritan expositors with modern 
 commentators ; but it may be safely said, that while they of course fall behind 
 their successors in some respects, it would be difficult to name any modern 
 writer who excels even the least distinguished of them, in knowledge of the

 practical)ility of again giving these imi)ortant aiu.l able works the place they 
 are entitled to in the libraries of Ministers, the rubli.sher iia^ issued the col- 
 ossal work of Dr. W. (knige on the Kjiistle to the Hebrews. Thi* work, the 
 fruit of thirty years' research and study, is .t monument of the industry and 
 painstaking character of the author. Of hi,--, learning and tlic influence he 
 exercised, of tiic crowds who thronged his church to iiear the lectures 
 delivered, of which this work is the condensatirm, it is unnecessary to speak, 
 as wherever the commentaries of the Puritans are known, this work is re- 
 garded as one of the chief.

 This book is an important contribution to the History of Canada. It has 
 been written from original authorities, and covers a period of American 
 history unsurpassed in interest. 
 
 Commencing with the discovery of the country, the author nrtrratcs the 
 early struggles under Cliamplaiii, the rising fortunes of the Colony under 
 Frontenac, and the disastrous but heroic close of the early regime under 
 Montcalm and De Levis, 'i'hc story of the campaign of the winter and 
 spring of 1759-60, which has not generally received due attention, is narrated 
 in full. The author has availed himseif oi the recently published Archives 
 of Nova Scotia, and has given in the Appendix many valuable documents. 
 A copious Index of Reference is added. 
 
 The Work is illustrated by the following Maps and Plans :— 
 
 1. A general Map of New France and New England, showing the sites 
 
 of the old strongholds of border warfare in Colonial times. 
 
 2. A Map of the Lake George ^nd Champlain Country, showing the 
 
 routes of invasion.

 LORD BANTAxM : a Satire. 
 
 From the IVeekly Review [London.] 
 The second book of a successful writer is the critical one ; and though 
 the author of " Ginx's Baby" has done some good work lately in a different 
 style— witness especially " The Coolie" — the appearance of " Lord Bantam." 
 is a very important point in his career. We are truly glad to be able to 
 congratulate him. This is a better book than his first. If the jokes are 
 not better— and they were good enough before— the sense is, and sense is 
 the soul of satire. 
 
 " Lord Bantam" is broader, truer, more distinct, and more serious than 
 " Ginx's Baby." 
 
 From the Watchman [London.] 
 
 To do justice to the wit and wisdom of these volumes would be to transfer 
 to our pages much more than is permitted by publishers to reviewers. 
 From the British Quarto ly liei'icw, 
 
 " Lord Bantam" is even more clever in parts than its forerunner. Told 
 with inimitable tact — permeated loo with that dry satiric humor which 
 we admired so much in " Ginx." The whole .story is recited with the rarest 
 humor and the most telling satire. It is a book to laugh over, and a book 
 to think over too, for some of the gravest questions of the day arc dealt 
 with significantly.

 enormous extension of the railway system, both in completed and

 is to show up the absurdity of matrimonial alliances that may

 Ireland and Scotland. He shows that what is a legal mar-
