From Gould & Lincoln, Boston:—
THE OLD RED SANDSTONE: New Walks in an Old Field. By Hugh Miller. Designed, like that sterling work of his, "Foot-prints of the Creator," to elucidate the connection between geological science and Revealed religion. This "Old Red Sandstone" has passed through fourteen editions in England, and will doubtless be as popular in America. It is just the book for the people—for mothers to study and talk over to their children.
PRINCIPLES OF ZOOLOGY. By Louis Agassiz and A. A. Gould. This is an excellent text-book for students and schools.

From Walker & Richards, Charleston, S. C.:—
THE POETICAL REMAINS OF THE LATE MARY ELIZABETH LEE. With a Biographical Memoir. By S. Gilmer, D. D. The work is worthy of the eminent clergyman, who has given us the delineation of one of the loveliest characters among the good and gifted of the gentle sex. We commend the book to the young and lovely.
THE CITY OF THE SILENT. A Poem. By W. Gilmore Simms. Delivered at the consecration of the "Magnolia Cemetery." A production of much merit, which does credit to the taste and genius of its distinguished author.

From W. B. Zieber, Philadelphia:—
A ROMANCE OF THE SEA-SERPENT. A work which, if not more wonderful than the romances of Dumas, has a better claim to public favor. It contains some truth in the authenticated memoranda about sea-serpents which ancient and modern lore furnishes. We should observe that the work is written in the rhymed style of D'Israeli's "Contarini Fleming."
