MY SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLMASTERS;or, The Story of my Education. By Hugh Miller, author of "Old Red Sandstone," "Footprints of the Creator," "My First Impressions of England," etc. 12mo, cloth. $1.25.

"This autobiography is quite worthy of the renowned author. His first attempts at literature, and his career until he stood forth an acknowledged power among the philosophers and ecclesiastical leaders of his native land, are given without egotism, with a power and vivacity which are equally truthful and delightsome."—Presbyterian."Hugh Miller is one of the most remarkable men of the age. Having risen from the humble walks of life, and from the employment of a stone-cutter, to the highest rank among scientific men, everything relating to his history possesses an interest which belongs to that of few living men. There is much even in his school-boy days which points to the man as he now is. The book has all the ease and graphic power which in characteristic of his writings."—New York Observer."This volume is a book for the ten thousand. It is embellished with an admirable likeness of Hugh Miller, the stone mason—his coat off and his sleeves rolled up—with the implements of labor in hand—his form erect, and his eye bright and piercing. The biography of such a man will interest every reader. It is a living thing—teaching a lesson of self-culture of immense value."—Philadelphia Christian Observer."It is a portion of autobiography exquisitely told. He is a living proof that a single man may contain within himself something more than all the books in the world, some unuttered word, if he will look within and read. This is one of the best books we have had of late, and must have a hearty welcome and a large circulation in America."—London Corresp. N.Y. Tribune."It is a work of rare interest; at times having the fascination of a romance, and again suggesting the profoundest views of education and of science. The ex-mason holds a graphic pen; a quiet humor runs through his pages; he tells a story well, and some of his pictures of home life might almost be classed with Wilson's."—New York Independent."This autobiography isTHEbook for poor boys, and others who are struggling with poverty and limited advantages; and perhaps it is not too much to predict that in a few years it will become one of the poor man's classics, filling a space on his scanty shelf next to the Autobiography of Franklin."—New England Farmer."Lovers of the romantic should not neglect the book, as it contains a narrative of tender passion and happily reciprocated affection, which will be read with subdued emotion and unfailing interest."—Boston Traveller.

THE HALLIG;or, The Sheepfold in the Waters. A Tale of Humble Life on the Coast of Schleswig. Translated from the German of Biernatzski, by Mrs.George P. Marsh. With a Biographical Sketch of the Author. 12mo. cloth. $1.00.

The author of this work was the grandson of an exiled Polish nobleman. His own portrait is understood to be drawn in one of the characters of the Tale, and indeed the whole work has a substantial foundation in fact. In Germany it has passed through several editions, and is there regarded as the chef-d'œuvre of the author. As a revelation of an entire new phase of human society, it will strongly remind the reader of Miss Bremer's tales. In originality and brilliancy of imagination, it is not inferior those;—its aim is far higher. The elegance of Mrs. Marsh's translation will at once arrest the attention of every competent judge.Hon. Robert C. Winthrop. "I have read it with deep interest. Mrs. Marsh has given us an admirable version of a most striking and powerful work."From Prof. F.D. Huntington, D.D., in the Religious Magazine."Wherever the work goes it fascinates the cultivated and the illiterate, the young and the old, the devout and the careless. Our own copy is in brisk circulation. The vivid and eloquent description of the strange scenery, the thrilling accounts of the mysterious action of the waters and vapors of the Schleswig coast, &c., all form a story of uncommon attractions and unmingled excellence."Dr. Sprague in Albany Spectator."A rare and beautiful work. It is an interesting contribution to the physical geography of a part of Europe lying quite beyond the reach of ordinary observation, and as a genial and faithful sketch of human life under conditions which are hardly paralleled elsewhere."The tale is a novel one, containing thrilling scenes, as well as religious teachings.—Presbyterian.A beautiful and exquisite natural tale. In novelty of life and customs, as well as in nicely drawn shades of local and personal character the Hallig, is equalled by very few works of fiction.—Boston Atlas.The story, which is deeply thrilling, is exclusively religious.—Ch. Secretary.Here we have another such book as makes the reading of it a luxury, even in hot summer weather. It takes us to an island home, in the chill regions of the North Sea, and introduces us to pastoral scenes as lively and as edifying as those of Oberlin, in the Ban de la Roche.—Southern Bap.

This book treats of a subject of great interest, especially at the present time. It furnishes the only complete and reliable account of the Camel in the language. It is the result of extensive research and personal observation, and it has been prepared with special reference to the experiment now being made by our Government, of domesticating the Camel in this country.A repository of interesting information respecting the Camel.

Advocate.Our Government have taken measures for introducing the Camel into this country, and an appropriation of $30,000 has been made by Congress. It becomes a matter of practical importance, therefore, to obtain the fullest and most reliable information possible respecting the animal and his adaptation to this country. His advent among us will stimulate general curiosity, and raise a thousand questions respecting his character and habits of life, his powers of endurance, his food, his speed, his length of life, his fecundity, the methods of managing and using him, the cost of keeping him, the value of his carcass after death, &c. This work furnishes, in a small compass, all the desired information.—Boston Atlas.A complete sketch of the habits and nature of the Camel is given, which has great interest. The value of the camel as a beast of burden is abundantly confirmed.—N.Y. Evangelist.

IMPORTANT WORKS.

ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES; or, The Bible presented under Distinct and Classified Heads or Topics. ByJohn Eadie, D.D., LL. D., Author of "Biblical Cyclopædia," "Dictionary of the Bible," &c., &c. One volume, royal octavo, 836 pp. Cloth. $3.00; sheep, $3.50.Just published.

The publishers would call the special attention of clergymen and others to some of the peculiar features of this great work.1. It is a concordance ofsubjects, not ofwords. In this it differs from the common concordance, which, of course, it does not supersede. Both are necessary to the Biblical student.2. It embraces all the topics, both secular and religious, which are naturally suggested by the entire contents of the Bible. In this it differs from Scripture Manuals and Topical Text-books, which are confined to religious or doctrinal topics.3. It containsthe whole of the Bible without abridgment, differing in no respect from the Bible in common use, except in the classification of its contents.4. It contains a synopsis, separate from the concordance, presenting within the compass of a few pages a bird's-eye view of the whole contents.5. It contains a table of contents, embracing nearly two thousand heads, arranged in alphabetical order.6. It is much superior to the only other work in the language prepared on the same general plan, and is offered to the public at much less cost.The purchaser gets not only aConcordance, but also aBible, in this volume. The superior convenience arising out of this fact,—saving, as it does, the necessity of having two books at hand and of making two references, instead of one,—will be readily apparent.The general subjects (under each of which there are a vast number of sub-divisions) are arranged as follows, viz.:Agriculture,Genealogy,Ministers of Religion,Sacrifice,Animals,God,Miracles,Scriptures,Architecture,Heaven,Occupations,Speech,Army, Arms,Idolatry, Idols,Ordinances,Spirits,Body,Jesus Christ,Parables and Emblems,Tabernacle and Temple,Canaan,Jews,Persecution,Vineyard and Orchard,Covenant,Laws,Praise and Prayer,Visions and Dreams,Diet and Dress,Magistrates,Prophecy,War,Disease and Death,Man,Providence,Water.Earth,Marriage,Redemption,Family,Metals and Minerals,Sabbaths and Holy Days,That such a work as this is of exceeding great convenience is matter of obvious remark. But it is much more than that; it is also an instructive work. It is adapted not only to assist the student in prosecuting the investigation of preconceived ideas, but also to impart ideas which the most careful reading of the Bible in its ordinary arrangement might not suggest. Let him take up any one of the subjects—"Agriculture," for example—and see if such be not the case. This feature places the work in a higher grade than that of the common Concordance. It shows it to be, so to speak, a work of more mind.No Biblical student would willingly dispense with this Concordance when once possessed. It is adapted to the necessities of all classes,—clergymen and theological students; Sabbath-school superintendents and teachers; authors engaged in the composition of religious and even secular works; and, in fine, common readers of the Bible, intent only on their own improvement.
