LANGDON.—IDA MAY. A Story of Things actual and possible. By MARY LANGDON. Muslin, $1.25.

"It has been read in advance of publication by several of our most eminent scholars and critics. Their opinions uniformly place the book among the genuine productions of genius. Ida May,' simply as A STORY, is pronounced as new and vivid a creation as Jane Eyre;' and what is more, that as a life-like picture of southern life and manners, it will command instant and universal attention."- Evening Traveller.

"No person can read it without being struck with the wonderful vividness of the author's descriptions of character and manners. The dialogue is spirited, dramatic, and where negroes are introduced, their dialect is imitated with a fidelity that no person yet has approached. This work is so original, so striking, that it cannot fail to be widely read." Cin. Gazette.

"We need not commend the work of Prof. Mills to the public; it asserts, by resistless right, a leading position on the first shelf of every standard library; it places within reach of the humblest American reader the noblest creations of the most intellectual race that the world has ever produced. It is, to conclude, one of the pleasantest books we have ever been called upon to review."Roes W. S. Review.

OTHER. By ELLEN LOUISE CHANDLER. decimo, with nine original illustrations by RowsE. Muslin. Price, $1; gilt edge, $1.50. Read the book, and see what a girl of eighteen can do.

In her Preface she says, "I have not borrowed from the dead, world of books. I have only grouped together such fancies as the country sunshine writes out upon the meadow grass, or the wild birds sing to each other while they build their nests. I have always found the world so kind, I do not doubt that there are some who will remember my flowers are only violets of the spring, and will pardon me when they fail to find the splendor of summer, or the mellow ripeness of autumn."

A book will not sell merely because it is the wonderful growth of a young mind, though precocity always interests the public to a certain degree. Yet the publishers beg to state that these sketches and stories were written by a school-girl, at a period when most young ladies still jump the rope, being yet scarcely nineteen. Notwithstanding this fact, they ask the reader's careful attention to her exceeding vigor of conception, the energy of thought, the glowing imagery, the depth of passion, and, withal, the truly feminine grace, that mark these stories; for they cannot fail at once to place her high in the public estimation. No author, of either sex, in America, of the same age, has made any such mark in the progress of letters, or can be compared with Miss Chandler in regard to those peculiar qualities which are requisite for the delineation of character, and exhibiting the varying emotions of the human heart. The publishers have made use of none but the ordinary means of informing the public of its issue, but have been conent with the unbiased and spontaneous expression of opinion by the eviewers; and rarely has there been a book which has been so uniformly commended.
