| From New York to Delhi. By the way of RIO DE JANEIRO, AUSTRALIA AND CHINA. By Robert B. Minturn, Jr. | 1 vol. 12mo. With a Map. $1 25. |
"Mr. Minturn's volume is very different from an ordinary sketch of travel over a well-beaten road. He writes with singular condensation. His power of observation is of that intuitive strength which catches at a glance the salient and distinctive points of every thing he sees. He has shown rare cleverness, too, in mingling throughout the work, agreeably and unobtrusively, so much of the history of India, and yet without ever suffering it to clog the narrative."—Churchman.
"This book shows how much can be accomplished by a wide-awake, thoughtful man in a six months' tour. The literary execution of Mr. Minturn's book is of a high order, and, altogether, we consider it a timely and important contribution to our stock of meritorious works."—Boston Journal.
| Le Cabinet des Fées; or, Recreative Readings. Arranged for the Express Use of Students in French. By George S. Gerard, A. M., Prof. of French and Literature. | 1 vol. 12mo. $1. |
"After an experience of many years in teaching, we are convinced that such works as the Adventures of Telemachus and the History of Charles XII., despite their incontestable beauty of style and richness of material, are too difficult for beginners, even of mature age. Such works, too, consisting of a continuous narrative, present to most students the discouraging prospect of a formidable undertaking, which they fear will never be completed."—Extract from Preface.
