The Sun. By Anedee Guillemin. From the French, by A. L. Phipson, Ph.D. With fifty-eight illustrations.
Wonders of Glass-making in all Ages. By A. Sanzay. Illustrated with sixty-three engravings on wood.
The Sublime in Nature; compiled from the descriptions of travellers and celebrated writers. By Ferdinand de Lanoye; with large additions. New York: Charles Scribner & Co. 1870.
The above are the titles of three beautiful volumes, the latest additions to the "Illustrated Library of Wonders," now being published by Messrs. Scribner. These little books must prove highly interesting, especially to the young, and are very well adapted for premiums. The illustrations are well executed, and give additional value to the books.
Natural History of Animals. By Sanborn Tenney and Alby A. Tenney. Illustrated by five hundred wood engravings, chiefly of North American animals. New York: Charles Scribner & Co. 1870.
A very useful book, well adapted to aid parents and teachers in interesting the young in the delightful and important study of natural history.
Dialogues from Dickens. For School and Home Amusement. Arranged by W. Eliot Fette, A.M. Boston: Lee & Shepard.
The dialogues contained in this volume have been selected for the most part, and we think very judiciously, with a view to thorough, unalloyed amusement. There are, doubtless, other portions of Dickens's works no less characteristic, full of tenderness and pathos, over which we fain would linger, and to which we gladly return again and again; these, however, we prefer to peruse alone, and at leisure. But for an evening's entertainment in company, commend us to the good fellowship the compiler has here selected for us—the Wellers, Dick Swiveller, Bob Sawyer, Mark Tapley, Sairey Gamp, etc., etc.
