KAVANAGH.-DAISY BURNS.

A Tale. By JULIA KAVANAGH, author of “Nathalie,” “ cents; cloth, 75 cents.

Madeleine," &c. 12mo.,

paper, 50

"A very delightful tale. The narrative is thoroughly English in substance and character. The charm of the story is in its naturalness. It is perfectly quiet, domestic, and truthful. In the calm force and homely reality of its scenes, it reminds us of Miss Austen; but the resemblance is in spirit only for the author of this work, like Miss Austen herself, writes out of her own observation and sympathy."-Times.

LIVES OF WELLINGTON AND PEEL.

From the London Times. 16mo. cloth, 50 cts.

"We believe that whatever elaborate pictures of these two distinguished men may hereafter be drawn, there will be none more truthful or striking than these from the London Times. Written as these leaders are by the first class literary and political men in England, they are read wherever the language is known, and we are happy to see these two able articles republished in this handsome yet cheap series of Appleton's Popular Library.' Ꭿlbany Argus,

LYRA APOSTOLICA.

First American from the fifth English edition of this admirable collection of verse, by various eminent divines. 1 vol., 18mo., cloth, 50 cents.

"Here is a volume of poetry on grave subjects; where the taste, the sensibilities, and the judgment, all are interested. Some of its topics are purely imaginative, but the large majority are on matters to which every thoughtful mind often recurs; and by the consideration of which the heart and conscience are benefited.”—Ñ. Y. American.

MCINTOSH. THE LOFTY AND THE LOWLY; OR, GOOD IN ALL AND NONE ALL GOOD. BY MARIA J. MCINTOSH. 2 vols. 12mo. paper, $1; cloth, $1 50.

For list of her other works, see page 4.

"A most interesting work, by M. J. McIntosh, a lady of some celebrity as a vigorous and polished writer, and author of several popular books. The lady states that the volumes were commenced some years back. not for the purpose of entering the arena of controversy, but for the purpose of removing some of the prejudices separating the Northern and Southern States, by a true and loving portraiture of the social characteristics of each. Having spent many years of her life in both the Free and the Slave States, the author is induced to believe herself competent to speak of the characteristics of each-and, to our mind, she has succeeded admirably. The story is interesting, and the characters are well drawn. It is a book which cannot be too highly commended or its morals too strongly impressed."-New Haven Courier.

MILLER. THE VILLAGE QUEEN; OR, SUMMER IN THE COUNTRY. BY THOMAS MILLER. Illustrated with fine water color drawings. 4to. extra cloth, gilt edges, $2 50.

"The incidents in this story are drawn from every-day life, and really seem to have the charm of reality. The author delineates character with nice and delicate discrimination, Young misses who have proud or haughty tempers, as well as those adorned with gentleness and the nobler virtues of the true heroine, will find in this volume an excellent mirror."

NEAL. PATIENT WAITING NO LOSS;

OR, THE TWO

CHRISTMAS DAYS. BY ALICE B. NEAL (Cousin Alice). 16mo., illustrated. 62 cents. "We have not met with a volume for a long while, so intensely interesting as the one bearing the above title. The book is evidently intended to impress upon young persons, particularly children, the necessity of energy, and the result of a firm reliance on the goodness of God. It will also prove a source of assistance to mothers, in teaching them the necessity of early instilling into the minds of their children, the principles of truth and honesty. The style is simple and elegant."

NOVUM TESTAMENTUM DOMINI NOSTRI JESU CHRISTI. Interprete THEOdore Beza. 1 vol. 16mo. 75 cents.

Since 1556, when it first appeared at Geneva, this work has kept its place in the general esteem; while more recent versions have been so strongly tinged with the peculiarities of the translators as to make them acceptable to particular classes only. The editor has exerted himself to render the present edition, by its superior accuracy and neatness, worthy of patronage; and the publishers flatter themselves that the pains bestowed will insure for it a preference over any other edition.

PALMER.-FIRST LESSONS IN BOOK-KEEPING.

Designed as a Class-book for Academies and Schools. 12mo., cloth backs, 184 cents.

Blank Books to accompany the same, 184 cents.

"The object sought to be attained by the author is to set forth the principles of accounts in a manner to be easily comprehended and readily applied by pupils of both sexes in all our common schools. A glance at the contents of this little volume induces us to believe that the author has been quite successful in the attempt."—N. Y. Jour. of Commerce.

PHILIP. THE LOVE OF THE SPIRIT.

By the Rev. ROBERT PHILIP. 1 vol. 18mo. 45 cents.

PHILIP.—THE MARTHAS; OR, THE VARIETIES OF FEMALE PIETY. By Rev. ROBERT PHILIP. 1 vol. 18mo., cloth. 45 cents.

SEWELL.

THE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE.

By Miss E. M. SEWELL. 12mo. paper, 50 cents, cloth, 75 cents.

For list of her other works, see p. 47.

"Few writers of the present day have a finer perception of character and manners, or a more correct appreciation of all those influences, small as well as great, which work together in the formation of both, than Miss SEWELL. She writes of social and domestic life, and always with a high christian aim, and with unerring truth of delineation. She has a winning graceful skill of her own not only in planning and developing a story, but in recommending all that is good and noble to our sympathy and love. This last of her productions equals in interest any of her former ones."-N. Y. Churchman.

SHAKSPEARE. THE PLAYS OF WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE.

Collated from the editions of Stevens, Malone, and Johnson, by SAMUEL MAUNDER. 1 vol. 8vo., extra cloth, gilt edges, $2.

SOUTHGATE.-NARRATIVE OF A VISIT TO THE SYRIAN

CHURCH OF MESOPATAMIA; with Statements and Reflections upon the present state of Christianity in Turkey. By the Rt. Rev. Bishop SOUTHGATE. 1 vol. 12mo., map, cloth, $1.

"An exceedingly interesting book of travels, which no reader will be very likely to lay by for good till he has seen the end of it. It contains a vast amount of information, religious and general, and is written in a style of perfect ease and simplicity. It deserves, and we doubt not will gain, an extensive circulation.”—Albany Advertiser.

TALES OF ILLUSTRIOUS MEN.

1 vol. 18mo., cloth, 75 cents.

"This little volume comprises the spirited and faithful biography of Cromwell, Cortes, Sir Humphrey Davy, Crabbe, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Lindley Murray, Dr. Adam Clarke, and Cuvier. It is full of entertainment, and sbounds in lessons of wisdom and virtue drawn from the annals of these great men."-Boston Times.

THACKERAY.-CONFESSIONS OF FITZ-BOODLE, AND TREMENDOUS ADVENTURES OF MAJOR GAHAGAN. 16mo. cloth, 50 cents.

"This is another collection of that inimitable series of papers which the author of Pendennis contributed to Frazer's Magazine in 1841 and 1842. The confessions of Fitzboodle whose ruin was effected by tobacco, are not less amusing than the book of "Snobs," while the "adventures of Gahagan" rival those of Munchausen, and set off to advantage the literature which Maxwell and Lever introduced as descriptive of the Peninsular war."— N. Y. Times.

THACKERAY.—A SHABBY GENTEEL STORY, AND OTHER TALES. 16mo. cloth, 50 cents.

"Another volume of Tales, of this mirth-inspiring philosopher, but the author is too well known to need compliment. It would be like trying to gild fine gold. We advise all, especially those having tendencies to hypocondriacism, to read them. It is worth more than a bushel of nostrums."-Albany Journal,

THACKERAY.-THE LUCK OF BARRY LYNDON.

A Romance of the Last Century. By W. M. THACKERAY. 2 vols. 16m6., $1.

"A work abounding with humor and sarcasm. Thackeray's knowledge of human nature developes itself in every page. His sketches of modern society, especially in its weaker and least defensible points, have never been excelled."-N. Y. Times.

"It is quite too late in the day to recommend anything from the pen of the author of 'Pendennis,' 'Vanity Fair,' and a score of other good things.' Suffice it to say, that within the covers of this elegantly printed book, there is a world of food for reflection, speculation, and the honest and wholesome mirth that is born of sprightli ness, a keen appreciation of the ludicrous, and an overflowing fountain of wit, sarcasm, and humor."-N. Y. Courier.

TOLON. THE ELEMENTARY SPANISH READER AND TRANSLATOR. By M. F. TOLON. 12mo., 75 cents.

"This seems to us to be the best Spanish reader for the purpose of self-tuition that has yet been published. The contents are varied in style, embracing the didactic, the colloquial, the descriptive, and the poetical; and to each lesson are added brief notes explaining idiomatic phrases. A full vocabulary in the Appendix makes the work complete, and relieves the learner from the trouble of consulting a dictionary. The orthography conforms to the rules established by the Royal Academy of Madrid."-N. Y. Com. Adv.

WARD.-ENGLISH ITEMS; OR, MICROSCOPIO VIEWS OF ENGLAND AND ENGLISHMEN. By MATTHEW F. WARD, author of "Letters from Three Continents." 12mo. cloth, $.

CONTENTS.-Our Individual relations with England. Sixpenny Miracles in England-The Custom House.Rural Scenery.-English Writers on America.-English Manners.-English Devotion to Dinner.-English Gentility.-Origin of the Church of England.-Persecution under the Established Church.-Its Present State.-Heraldry.

WEBSTER-LIFE AND MEMORIALS OF DANIEL WEBSTER. By Gen. S. P. LYMAN. 2 vols. 16mo., cloth, $1.

"These two volumes are books for the million. They embody a very large collection of original and interesting memoranda, illustrative of the life and character of the Great Statesman, from the pen of Gen. S. P. Lyman, whose confidential relations with Mr. Webster are a sufficient guarantee for their authenticity. Many of the papers composing these volumes appeared originally in the New-York Times, others in the Commercial Advertiser, and the Courier and Enquirer. The numerous letters, the personal anecdotes, and the eulogies of Messrs. Choate, Everett, and Hillard, comprised in the second volume, will be read with great interest, and preserved as cherished reminiscences of the genius and patriotism of Webster."-Christian Observer.

YOUTH'S (THE) STORY BOOK.

One thick vol. 18mo., cloth.

"To write well for the young is a rare gift. This volume is worthy of its execution, and cannot fail to be interesting and improving to all who read it. The object is to combine examples of virtue with interesting tales." -N. Y. Churchman.

THE BEST SPANISH AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY.

SEOANE'S NEUMAN AND BARETTI-BY VELAZQUEZ.

JUST PUBLISHED

A PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY

OF THE

SPANISH AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES.

Composed from the Spanish Dictionaries of the SPANISH ACADEMY, TERREROS, and SALVA, upon the basis of SEOANE'S Edition of NEUMAN and BARETTI, and from the English Dictionaries of WEBSTER, WORCESTER, and WALKER; with the addition of more than eight thousand Words, Idioms, and familiar Phrases; the Irregularities of all the Verbs, and a Grammar and Synopsis of both Languages. By MARIANO Velazquez de la CADENA, Professor of the Spanish Language and Literature in Columbia College, New-York, and Corresponding Member of National Institute, Washington, 1 vol., large 8vo., pp. 1300. Price $5.

A frm Opinions from Eminent Professors, etc., of its Merits.

From GEORGE TICKNOR, Author of "History of Spanish Literature."

"DON MARIANO VELAZQUEZ DE LA CADENA.

"Boston, 26th May, 1852.

"MY DEAR SIR,-I received yesterday, in excellent condition, a copy of your Dictionary of the Spanish and English Languages, which you were so good to send me under date of the 22d inst. I immediately compared several pages, taken at random, with the corresponding pages in the Eighth Edition of NEUMAN'S and BARETTI'S Dictionary by SEOANE, enough I think to enable me to judge fairly of the merits of the two. The results I give you with much pleasure, viz: 1. I found several typographical errors in the English work, and not one in yours. 2. I observed that you had repeatedly abridged the English definitions; every time making them more terse without once leaving the idea less distinct. 3. Several valuable explanations and elucidations were added. 4. A considerable number of idiomatical phrases were added and well translated. 5. A considerable number of Spanish words were added, not contained in SEOANE, and well explained by you, but not one in his edition of the English work was omitted in your Dictionary. Now such differences make your work a clear improvement upon the English one that you took for its basis, and as the Dictionary of NEUMAN, BARETTI and SEOANE has been used by me heretofore, because I have found it the best Spanish and English Dictionary-not excepting that of CONNELLY and HIGGINS.-I have no doubt you have now furnished us with the best one extant. Let me add that your work is neatly and well printed on a very clear type, a circumstance of much importance in a manual Dictionary. I thank you for it very heartily, and congratulate you on your success."

From Professor DE VERE, University of Virginia, Va.

"MESSRS. D. APPLETON & Co.:

"June 10th, 1852.

"GENTLEMEN,-I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your SEOANE'S Spanish Dictionary, for which I beg you will accept my best thanks.

I have taken some pains to compare it with other works of the kind, and with that of the Spanish Academy. It appears to me so very superior to all, that I have at once ordered it for the Spanish department of my Chair in this University, and expect important aid and usefulness from it. Allow me to congratulate you upon the uncommonly handsome manner in which the work is gotten up, and accept my thanks for the eminent service you have thus rendered to a branch of instruction and knowledge which daily becomes more important for our country."

From PROFESSOR CHARLES RABADAN.

"MARIANO VELAZQUEZ DE LA CADENA, ESQ.

"New-York, July 2d, 1852.

"MY DEAR SIR,-I have just received the copy of the Dictionary that you, and Messrs. D. APPLETON & Co. have had the goodness to send to me. I had already examined this important work, although, for want of leisure, I had not done it with that particular care I would have wished; however, I do not hesitate to state, truly and sincerely, that your Dictionary is the best work of the kind that we have; and that as such, I have recommended, and will continue to recommend it to all my scholars."

Extract of a Letter from Professor H. W. LONGFELLOW, Cambridge. "From a cursory perusal of your Spanish Dictionary, and the general aspect of the work, I judge very favor. ably of it. I shall have great pleasure in introducing it to the students of this University."

From Professor José ANTONIO PIZARRO.

MESSRS. D. APPLETON & Co, New-York:

[ocr errors]

"Baltimore, June 9th, 1852.*

GENTLEMEN,-I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of a Spanish and English Dictionary compiled by Professor VELAZQUEZ.

"The want of a good Dictionary has long been felt by all students and lovers of the Spanish Language; and it gives me pleasure to find one so complete and full in its explanations; edited by proper hands, and put forth under such favorable auspices, I trust that your enterprise in this and other efforts to advance the knowledge of the Castilian in this country, where it is so important, may be duly rewarded.

Being well acquainted with Professor VELAZQUEZ, and knowing his entire competency for the work, I had already examined it, and had recommended it as the only Dictionary now to be used with advantage. I shall continue so to recommend it to all within my influence."
