HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY.

ARNOLD. THE HISTORY OF ROME,

From the Earliest Period. By THOMAS ARNOLD, D.D. Reprinted entire from the last English edition. Two vols., 8vo., $5,00.

ARNOLD. THE LATER ROMAN COMMONWEALTH. The History of the Later Roman Commonwealth. By THOMAS ARNOLD, D.D Two vols. of the English edition. Reprinted entire in 1 vol., 8vo., $2,50.

"The History of Rome will remain, to the latest age of the world, the most attractive, the most useful, and the most elevating subject of human contemplation. It must ever form the basis of a liberal and enlightened education, and present the most important subject to the contempla tion of the statesman. It is remarkable that, until the appearance of Dr. Arnold's volumes, no history (except Niebuhr's, whose style is often obscure) of this wonderful people existed, commensurate either to their dignity, their importance, or their intimate connection with modern institutions. In the preparation and composition of the history, Dr. Arnold expended many long years, and bent to it the whole force of his great energies. It is a work to which the whole culture of the man from boyhood contributed-most carefully and deeply meditated, pursued with all the ardor of a labor of love, and relinquished only with life. Of the conscientious accuracy, industry, and power of mind, which the work evinces-its clearness, dignity, and vigor of composition-it would be needless to speak. It is eminently calculated to delight and instruct both the student and the miscellaneous reader."-Boston Courier.

ARNOLD.—THE LIFE AND CORRESPONDENCE OF THOMAS ARNOLD, D.D. BY ARTHUR P. STANLEY, A.M. 2d American from the 5th London edition. One handsome 8vo. volume, $2,00.

"This work should be in the hands of every one who lives and thinks for his race and for his religion; not so much as a guide for action, as affording a stimulant to intellectual and moral reflection."-Prot. Churchman.

"We have rarely had occasion to notice a work that we could so warmly and unreservedly recommend as this. *** The greater part of the volume consists of letters to familiar friends, on the thousand topics of general literature, religion, morals, history, and matters of every day interest."-Buffalo Com. Adv.

"His letters are deeply instructive and fascinating."—Albany Adv.

"It is a work in which the scholar, the philosopher, and the Christian will be alike in terested."-Albany Argus.

ARNOLD.-LECTURES ON MODERN HISTORY,

Delivered in Lent Term, 1842, with the Inaugural Lecture delivered in 1841. By THOMAS ARNOLD, D.D. Edited, with a Preface and Notes, by Henry Reed, M.A., Prof. of Eng. Lit. in the University of Pa. 12mo., $1,25.

"Those who have read the Life and Correspondence of Dr. Arnold, recently published, need no assurance of the great value and interest of the present work. The Lectures of which this very handsome volume is composed, were delivered very soon after he took the chair of Modern History, at Oxford, and embrace his Inaugural Discourse upon the general subject. They are eight in number, and furnish the best possible introduction to a philosophical study of modern history Professor Reed has added greatly to the worth and interest of the volume, by appending to each lecture such extracts from Dr. Arnold's other writings as would more fully illustrate its prominent points. The notes and appendix which he has thus furnished are exceedingly valuable. "No student or literary man, who has the least regard for the philosophy of history, should be without this book. So far as our knowledge extends, there is no other before the public which can be compared to it for interest and permanent worth."-Cour. & Enquirer. COIT. THE HISTORY OF PURITANISM.

Puritanism; or, a Churchman's Defence against its Aspersions, by an Appeal to its own History. By THOMAS W. COIT, D.D., Rector of Trinity Church, New Rochelle. 12mo., 528 closely-printed pages, $1,50.

"This is a bold, frank book, that will be read and will make an impression. Historic truth, and moral improvement-in so far at least as the lesson of toleration and reciprocal forbearance may be taught by showing that all need its practice-will be advanced by this volume, which we commend in all confidence to all searchers after knowledge and historical accuracy, whoever and wherever it may bear."-Cour & Eng.

CARLYLE. THE LIFE OF SCHILLER:

Comprehending an Examination of his Works. By THOMAS CARLYLE, author of "The French Revolution," etc. 12mo., paper cover 50 cts., cloth 75 cts.

"This biography we have always regarded as the best book Carlyle has written the best at least in point of style, and fur less objectionable in any respect than any of his subsequent productions. Its style is clear, perspicuous, and extremely eloquent; its critical examinations of Schiller's Works is full, thorougn, and in every way admirable; and, as a biography, it is one of the finest specimens ever written. It cannot fail to be welcomed by a very large class of cultivated minds.-Cour. & Eng.

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY-Continued. GREENHOW.-THE HISTORY OF OREGON AND CALI. FORNIA and the other Territories on the North-west coast of North America, accompanied by a Geographical View and Map of those countries, and a number of documents as proofs and illustrations of the History. By ROBERT GREENHOW, Librarian and Translator to the Department of State. One 8vo. vol. with Map, $2,50. "This history presents accounts, clear and sufficiently detailed, of all the discoveries and settlements made and attempted in the countries to which it relates, and of all disputes, negotiations and treaties between the governments of civilized nations respecting them; with abundant notices of facts and authorities."

GUIZOT.-GENERAL HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION IN EUROPE, from the Fall of the Roman Empire to the French Revolution. By M. GUIZOT, late Professor of History, now Prime Minister of France. With occasional Notes by C. S. Henry, D.D., Professor of Philosophy and History in the University of the city of New-York. One volume, 12mo., price $1,00.

"M. Guizot, in his instructive Lectures, has given us an epitome of modern history, distinguished by all the merit which, in another department, renders Blackstone a subject of such peculiar and unbounded praise-a work closely condensed, including nothing useless, omitting nothing essential; written with grace, and conceived and arranged with consummate ability." GUIZOT.-HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION of 1640, from the Accession of Charles I. to his Death. By F. GUIZOT, the Prime Minister of France; Author of " History of Civilization in Europe," etc., etc. Translated by WILLIAM HAZLITT. In two volumes, 12mo. Paper cover $1,00, or two volumes bound in one, cloth, $1,25.

"It is a work of great eloquence and interest, and abounding with thr. ing dramatic sketches."-Newark Advertiser.

"M. Guizot's style is bold and piquant, the notes and references abundant and reliable, and the work is worthy of an honorable place in a well-selected library."-New-Haven Courier. HAMILTON—the life of ALEXANDER HAMILTON, Edited by his son, John C. Hamilton. Two volumes, 8vo., $5,00.

"We cordially recommend the perusal and diligent study of these volumes, exhibiting, as they do, much valuable matter relative to the Revolution, the establishment of the Federal Constitution, and other important events in the annals of our country.-N. Y. Review. KING. THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.

Twenty-four Years in the Argentine Republic; embracing its Civil and Military History, and an Account of its Political Condition before and during the Administration of Gov. Rosas; his course of Policy, the Causes and Character of his interference with the Government of Montevideo, and the Circumstances which led to the Interposition of England and France. By Col. J. ANTHONY KING, an Officer in the Army of the Republic. One volume, 12mo., $1,00.

"This narrative of the Civil Wars in the Argentine Republic embraces from the period of the expulsion of the Spaniards to 1841, and is replete with matters of thrilling interest, and exhibits in a concise manner the mass of contending elements that have so long distracted that interesting country. The political history of Rosas, his course of policy, the origin of his invasion of the Banda Oriental, and the ordeal of blood through which the people are passing under his rule, are all exhibited in this work, rendering it one of the utmost interest to the historian, the statesman and the general reader."

KOHLRAUSCH.-HISTORY OF GERMANY,

From the Earliest Period to the Present Time. By FREDERICK KOHLRAUSCH, Chief of the Board of Education for the Kingdom of Hanover, and late Professor of History in the Polytechnic School. Translated from the last German edition, by JAMES D. HAAS. One vol., 8vo., of 500 pages, with complete Index, $1,50.

"A compendious and full history of the German Empire, disconnected from all the extraneous details which it has been customary to combine with the annals of particular nations, has long been a desideratum in the English language. Such a narration could not be found. Mr. Kohlrausch's work, in many respects, is a model for historiographers. It is sufficiently minute, highly graphic in its portraitures and delineations, rejects every topic merely fabulous or unimportant, and the truthfulness of it can be verified by a recurrence to the various authors whom he has enumerated as the sources whence he has derived his Narrative. It is a skilfully arranged and methodical record, luminous, very impartial and attractive both in its style and reflections."-Boston Courier.

The work satisfactorily supplies a vacancy which confessedly existed in English Literature, and will form a valuable and permanent addition to the historical department of our libraries "Southern Churchman.
