Volumes, Cloth Gilt. - -=THE WORKS OF LORD BACON=, WITH A MEMOIR, AND A TRANSLATION OF HIS LATIN -WRITINGS, - -BY BASIL MONTAGU, ESQ. - -In Three Volumes, Octavo. - -The American edition of the works of Lord Bacon now offered to the -public, is reprinted from the most approved English edition, that of -Basil Montagu, Esq., which has recently issued from the celebrated press -of Pickering, (the modern Aldus.) in seventeen octavo volumes. It -contains the complete works of the illustrious philosopher, _those in -Latin being translated into English_. In order to render the publication -cheap, and therefore attainable by all our public and social libraries, -as well as by those general readers who study economy, the seventeen -octavo volumes have been comprised in three volumes, imperial octavo. -Being printed from the most accurate as well as complete English -edition, and carefully revised, the American edition will possess -greater advantages for the critical scholar as well as the general -reader. In typography, paper and binding, it will be recognized as a -brilliant specimen of the products of the American book trade. - -"We may safely affirm, that, by giving the Inductive Philosophy to the -world, Lord Bacon has proved one of its most signal benefactors, and has -largely done his part towards promoting the final triumph of all truth, -whether natural, or moral and intellectual, over all error; and towards -bringing on that glorious crisis, destined, we doubt not, one day to -arrive, when, according to the allegorical representation of that great -poet, who was not only the Admirer of Bacon, but in some respects his -kindred genius--TRUTH, though 'hewn like the mangled body of Osiris, -into a thousand pieces, and scattered to the four winds, shall be -gathered limb to limb, and moulded, with every joint and member, into an -immortal feature of loveliness and perfection.'" - -"We are more gratified than we can find words to express, to find a -publishing house in this country, putting forth a publication like the -Complete Works of Lord Bacon, in a form at once compact, elegant and -economical."--_Brother Jonathan._ - - -=WALTER SCOTT'S COMPLETE WORKS.= - -_In 10 vols., Royal 8vo., Cloth gilt, for only $10!!_ - -Including the Waverly Novels, Poetical and Prose Works, with the -Author's latest Corrections. - -_Also, Full-bound Library Style Price_ $12.50. - - -=Price Reduced to $2 50.= - -THE WAVERLEY NOVELS. - -COMPLETE. - -3340 Pages for Two Dollars and a Half. - -CAREY & HART, have recently published - -A NEW EDITION OF - -=THE WAVERLEY NOVELS=, - -BY SIR WALTER SCOTT, - -_With all the Author's latest Notes and Additions, Complete, without the -slightest Abridgment._ - -In Five Royal 8vo. volumes, upwards of 650 Pages in each volume. - -CONTENTS. - -Waverley, Guy Mannering, Antiquary, Rob Roy, Black Dwarf, Old Mortality, -Heart of Mid-Lothian, Bride of Lammermoor, Legend of Montrose, Ivanhoe, -The Monastery, The Abbot, Kenilworth, The Pirate, Fortunes of Nigel, -Peveril of the Peak, Quentin Durward, St. Ronan's Well, Redgauntlet, The -Betrothed, The Talisman, Woodstock, The Highland Widow, Two Drovers, My -Aunt Margaret's Mirror, Tapestried Chamber, The Laird's Jock, Fair Maid -of Perth. Anne of Geierstein, Count Robert of Paris, Castle Dangerous, -The Surgeon's Daughter. - -The object of the publishers in thus reducing the price of the Waverley -Novels, is to endeavor to give them a greatly extended circulation, and -they have, therefore, put them at a price which brings them within the -reach of every family in the country. There is _now_ no fireside that -need be without a set of the most charming works of fiction ever issued -from the press: for there is no one that can't afford two dollars and a -half--TWO DOLLARS AND A HALF for twenty-five of Sir Walter Scott's -Novels! ten cents for a complete Novel!! ten cents for "Ivanhoe," which -was originally published at a guinea and a half!!! It seems impossible, -and yet it is true. In no other way can the same amount of amusement and -instruction be obtained for ten times the money, for the Waverley Novels -alone form a Library. - -The publishers wish it to be distinctly understood, that, while the -price is so greatly reduced the work is in no way abridged, but is -CAREFULLY PRINTED FROM, AND CONTAINS EVERY WORD IN THE LAST EDINBURGH -EDITION, in forty-eight volumes, which sells for seventy-two dollars. - -Now is the time to buy! Such an opportunity may never again occur. Let -every one, then, who wants the _Waverley Novels for two dollars and a -half, now purchase_, for if the publishers do not find the sale greatly -increased, by the immense reduction in price, they will resume the old -price of twenty-five cents for each Novel, which _was_ considered -wonderfully cheap. - - -THE Prose Writers of America, WITH A SURVEY OF THE INTELLECTUAL HISTORY, -CONDITION, AND PROSPECTS OF THE COUNTRY. - -BY RUFUS WILMOT GRISWOLD. - -_FOURTH EDITION, REVISED._ - -_Illustrated with Portraits from Original Pictures._ - -Complete in one volume octavo--$3 50. - -CONTENTS. - -Intellectual History, Condition, and Prospects of the Country--Edwards, -Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Dwight, Marshall, Hamilton, Ames, J.

Y. Courier and Enquirer._ - - -A New and Cheap Edition OF THE HISTORY OF THE =FRENCH REVOLUTION=. - -BY M. A. THIERS, LATE PRIME MINISTER OF FRANCE. - -_Translated from the French, with Notes and Additions._ - -The Four Volumes complete in Two. - -=Price only $1 50.= - -The edition of the History of the French Revolution now offered to the -public is printed on VERY LARGE TYPE, on good paper, and contains -upwards of - -_Eighteen Hundred Large Octavo Pages_, - -and is unquestionably the cheapest book ever published. It _forms a -necessary introduction_ to _THE LIFE OF NAPOLEON_, by M. A. THIERS, _NOW -IN COURSE OF PUBLICATION_, and the two works present a complete - -HISTORY OF FRANCE - -from the commencement of the French Revolution, down to the death of -Napoleon. - -[asterism] Also a fine Edition with 13 steel Engravings, 2 vols., Extra -Gilt, $3. - - -THE Prose Writers of Germany. - -BY F. H. HEDGE. - -ILLUSTRATED WITH PORTRAITS. - -The work mentioned above comprises a list of the most eminent writers of -Germany, together with copious extracts from their works, beginning with -LUTHER and reaching up to the present time. For those who are interested -in the literature of Germany, it presents a valuable aid in becoming -more intimately acquainted with the German mind; and even to the curious -it offers an excitement which will grow stronger in proportion as their -taste is cultivated. - -In the present volume we find valuable extracts, given from their prose -writings. Although the writers follow in chronological order, and LUTHER -stands at the head of his intellectual brethren, the longest space is -allowed to those who claim our greatest attention; and GOETHE therefore -occupies the most conspicuous position both in the specimens given and -the selection of the pieces. GOETHE is a writer who requires most of all -to be studied; while others, as SCHILLER, in his passionate mood and -ideal longings, requires no silent and incessant reflection, because he -works his effects immediately by rousing the depth of our nature. Next -to GOETHE, SCHILLER appears in an article upon Naïve and Sentimental -Poetry, a bold effort of him, the success of which is however yet very -disputed, to classify every produce of Art according to the impressions -made upon the reader, and to dispense with the various and cumbersome -forms of the departments into which we have been accustomed hitherto to -arrange all subjects bearing upon poetry. The department upon which -SCHILLER enters here, belongs properly to the philosophy of Art; to the -aesthetics, the investigation of the beautiful. - -Foremost stands LESSING, the first critic of his time. Next to him comes -HERDER, a devout philosopher, and a clear-sighted intellect, with the -eyes of a child; curious to penetrate the maze and noisy market of the -world, the variegated life among the ancients and the moderns in search -for that beautiful humanity which he had sketched in his own mind, and -which he would fain proclaim the order of an otherwise mysterious -providence. The two brothers SCHLEGEL--William, the noble interpreter -and translator of Shakspeare, and Frederic, known best by his -investigations of the language and wisdom of the Indians--follow him, -and MOSES MENDELSSOHN, a Jewish philosopher, closes the series of these -writers. The treatise of the latter on the Sublime and Naïve will be -read with interest by everybody who has only an ordinary reading of -ancient and modern poetry. Distinct from all the rest stand WIELAND and -JEAN PAUL RICHTER, best known in this country by the appellation, of -JEAN PAUL. - - - - -A. HART'S NEW WORKS. - - -RECENTLY PUBLISHED, IN TWO VOLUMES, POST 8VO., WITH PORTRAITS, CLOTH, -EXTRA GILT, $2. - -MEMOIRS OF THE =COURT OF MARIE ANTOINETTE,= (QUEEN OF FRANCE.) - -BY MADAME CAMPAN. - -First Lady of the Bed-chamber to the Queen. - -With a Biographical Introduction from "The Heroic Women of the French -Revolution." - -BY M. DE LAMARTINE. - -OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. - -"The book is a noble defence of Marie Antoinette against the many -calumnies breathed against her. Moreover, as a picture of manners during -the latter years of Louis XV., and the entire reign of his successor, it -has no superior; it is at once more decent and more veracious than the -'Life of Dubarry,' and the thousand other garbled memoirs of that -period. A large number of notes, explanatory and otherwise, accompany -the volume, and add materially to its value. Mr. Hart has published the -book in a style of great elegance, and illustrated it with portraits, on -steel, of Marie Antoinette and Madame Elizabeth. It is a book that -should find a place on every lady's centre-table."--_Neal's Gazette._ - -"Two very interesting volumes, which the reader will not be likely to -leave till he has finished them."--_Public Ledger._ - -"The material of this history could not have emanated from a more -authentic or official source, nor have been honoured with a more -distinguished or capable god-father than De Lamartine."--_Saturday -Courier._ - -"These elegant volumes are a reprint from the third London edition of -this very delightful work. The vicissitudes depicted in the volumes, and -scarcely less the charming style of the author and the entire -familiarity of her theme, make the work one of the most interesting that -has recently issued from the American press, and no less instructive and -entertaining."--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._ - -"This delightful work, abounding with historical incidents connected -with one of the most stirring periods of French history, presents the -reader with the personal annals of one of the most amiable and excellent -women that ever shared the honours of royalty. Compiled by one every way -competent by talent and education, and qualified by personal -familiarity, the facts are entitled to the confidence of the reader, -while the style is piquant and graceful. The work is got up in a very -superior style of mechanical execution."--_Baltimore Sun._ - -"We have seldom perused so entertaining a work--it is as a mirror of the -most splendid court of Europe, at a time when monarchy had not been -shorn of any of its beams, that it is particularly worthy of our -attention."--_Morning Chronicle._ - -"There is not a page of the work which is not deeply or amusingly -interesting. The position of the author at the court of Louis XVI. gave -her extraordinary opportunities for looking behind the scenes for the -causes of much that was entirely inexplicable to the public. Indeed, -there can be no question of her knowledge, while of her truthfulness, as -far as she goes, there is abundant evidence in the volumes themselves. -We cannot believe Marie Antoinette to have been as immaculate as she is -painted by Madame Campan. Young, giddy, inexperienced and wilful, she -was cast headlong into the most profligate court of Christendom. -Surrounded by pleasures and temptations, amid a set of beings to whom -gallantry was so habitual that it ceased to be remarked--with an -impotent husband, and with all around him corrupt, venal, and -licentious, we cannot believe that all the scandalous stories respecting -the queen were entirely without foundation, that she was _always_ -misconstrued and maligned."--_Boston Morning Post._ - - -THE MODERN BRITISH ESSAYISTS -At less than Half Price. - -The great success that has attended the publication of - -_THE MODERN ESSAYISTS_, - -Comprising the Critical and Miscellaneous Writings of the Most -Distinguished Authors of Modern Times, has induced the publishers to -issue a New, Revised and very Cheap Edition, with Finely Engraved -Portraits of the Authors; and while they have _added_ to the series the -writings of several distinguished authors, they have reduced the price -more than - -=ONE HALF.= - -The writings of each author will generally be comprised in a single -octavo volume, well printed from new type, on fine white paper -manufactured expressly for this edition. - -The series will contain all the most able papers that have EVER APPEARED -IN THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, The London Quarterly Review, and Blackwood's -Magazine, and may indeed be called the CREAM of those publications. - -It is only necessary to mention the names of the authors whose writings -will appear.

What great work has he written? Such questions as these might be -put by the same men who place the Spectator, Tattler and Rambler among -the British classics yet judge of the size of a cotemporary's mind by -that of his book, and who can hardly recognize amplitude of -comprehension, unless it be spread over the six hundred pages of octavos -and quartos.--Such men would place Bancroft above Webster, and Sparks -above Calhoun, Adams, and Everett--deny a posterity for Bryant's -Thanatopsis, and predict longevity to Pollok's Course of Time. It is -singular that the sagacity which can detect thought only in a state of -dilution, is not sadly graveled when it thinks of the sententious -aphorisms which have survived whole libraries of folios, and the little -songs which have outrun, in the race of fame, so many enormous -epics.--While it can easily be demonstrated that Macaulay's writings -contain a hundred-fold more matter and thought, than an equal number of -volumes taken from what are called, _par eminence_, the 'British -Essayists,' it is not broaching any literary heresy to predict, that -they will sail as far down the stream of time, as those eminent members -of the illustrious family of British classics." - - -II. - -=ARCHIBALD ALISON.= - -THE CRITICAL AND MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS OF ARCHIBALD ALISON, AUTHOR OF -"THE HISTORY OF EUROPE," In One Volume, 8vo with a portrait. - -_Price_ $1 25. - -CONTENTS. - -Chateaubriand, Napoleon, Bossuet, Poland, Madame de Stael, National -Monuments, Marshal Ney, Robert Bruce, Paris in 1814, The Louvre in 1814, -Tyrol, France in 1833, Italy, Scott, Campbell and Byron, Schools of -Design, Lamartine, The Copyright Question, Michelet's France, Military -Treason and Civic Soldiers, Arnold's Rome, Mirabeau, Bulwer's Athens, -The Reign of Terror, The French Revolution of 1830, The Fall of Turkey, -The Spanish Revolution of 1820, Karamsin's Russia, Effects of the French -Revolution of 1830, Desertion of Portugal, Wellington, Carlist Struggle -in Spain, The Affghanistan Expedition, The Future, &c. &c. - - -III. - -=SYDNEY SMITH.= - -THE WORKS OF THE REV.

His choice of words is unbounded and his felicity of -expression, to the most impalpable shade of discrimination, almost -miraculous. Playful, lively, and full of illustration, no subject is so -dull or so dry that he cannot invest it with interest, and none so -trifling that it cannot acquire dignity or elegance from his pencil. -Independently however, of mere style, and apart from the great variety -of subjects embraced by his pen, the distinguishing feature of his -writings, and that in which he excels his cotemporary reviewers, is the -deep vein of practical thought which runs throughout them all." - - -VIII. - -SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH. - -SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH'S - -CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE EDINBURGH REVIEW. - -_Collected and Edited by his Son._ - -In One Volume 8vo., with a Portrait, $1 75. - -THE POEMS OF FRANCES SARGENT OSGOOD. - -Illustrated by the best artists. - -_In one volume octavo, uniform, with Carey & Hart's illustrated Bryant, -Willis, &c._ - -The following exquisitely finished line engravings are from original -designs, by our most celebrated painters, and are executed in the -highest style of art:--Portrait of the Authoress; Hope; A Child playing -with a Watch; The Reaper; Ida; Old Friends; The Child's Portrait; Little -Red Riding Hood; The Life Boat; Twilight Hours; The Arab and his Steed; -Zuleika. - -"There is nothing mechanical about her; all is buoyant, overflowing, -irrepressible vivacity, like the bubbling up of a natural fountain.

Dr. Davidson._ - -"In all the poems of Mrs. Osgood, we find occasion to admire the author -as well as the works. Her spontaneous and instinctive effusions appear, -in a higher degree than any others in our literature, to combine the -rarest and highest capacities in art with the sincerest and deepest -sentiments and the noblest aspirations.

We have read -every page of this thick volume, and have been strongly reminded of -Southey's great book, _The Doctor_.

They supply, -in a dignified and comprehensive form, valuable information, which will -be sought with avidity, not only by the American public, but by the -world at large. The want of a work of _positive authority_ on this -subject has long been felt and deplored. The enterprise and good taste -of Messrs. Carey and Hart have given us two handsome and reliable -volumes, betraying industry and talent, and replete with facts of the -deepest interest. There is no idle romancing--no school-boy attempts at -rhetorical display; on the contrary, the work is written in a clear, -unaffected, business-like, yet beautiful manner. The authors had the -good sense to think that the stirring events of "the times that tried -men's souls," needed no embellishment. It is a complete, impartial, and -well written history of the American Revolution, and, at the same time, -a faithful biography of the most distinguished actors in that great -struggle, whose memories are enshrined in our hearts. The typographical -execution of the work is excellent, and the sixteen portraits on steel -are remarkably well done. The first volume is embellished with a -life-like portrait of Washington mounted on his charger, from Sully's -picture, "_Quelling the Whisky Riots_." This is, we believe, the first -engraving taken from it. There are biographies of _eighty-eight -Generals_, beginning with "the Father of his country," and closing with -General Maxwell. To accomplish this task, we are assured that "the -accessible published and unpublished memoirs, correspondence, and other -materials relating to the period, have been carefully examined and -faithfully reflected." We earnestly commend this work. It will be found -an unerring record of the most interesting portion of our history.--_The -City Item._ - -This work differs from Mr. Headley's, having nearly the same title, in -many important particulars; and _as an historical book is much -superior_.--_N. Y. Com. Advertiser._ - -Certainly the most comprehensive and individualized work that has ever -been published on the subject--each member of the great _dramatis -personæ_ of the Revolutionary tragedy, standing out in bold and -"sculptured" relief on his own glorious deeds.--_Saturday Courier._ - -This work is very different affair from the flashy and superficial book -of the Rev. J. T. Headley entitled "Washington and the Generals." It -appears without the name of any author, because it is the joint -production of many of the most eminent writers in the country, resident -in various states in the Union, and having, from the circumstance, -access to original materials in private hands, and to public archives -not accessible to any one individual without long journey and much -consumption of time. The result, however, is a complete and authentic -work, embracing biographical notices of every one of the Revolutionary -Generals. The amount of fresh and original matter thus brought together -in these moderate-sized volumes, is not less surprising than it is -gratifying to the historical reader. This will become a standard book of -reference, and will maintain its place in libraries long after the -present generation shall have enjoyed the gratification of perusing its -interesting pages, exhibiting in a lively style the personal adventures -and private characters of the sturdy defenders of American -Independence.--_Scott's Weekly Newspaper._ - -The author's name is not given, and from what we have read, we presume -that various pens have been employed in these interesting biographies. -This is no disadvantage, but, on the contrary, a decided benefit, for it -insures greater accuracy than could be looked for in such a series of -biographies written by one person in a few months. The volumes are -published in a very handsome style. The first sixty pages are occupied -with the biography of Washington, which is written with force and -elegance, and illustrated by an original view of the character of that -great man.... The number of the biographies in these volumes is much -greater than that of Mr. Headley's work. There are eighty-eight distinct -subjects.--_N. Y. Mirror._ - -We have read a number of the articles, find them to be written with -ability, and to possess a deep interest. The author has manifested -excellent judgment in avoiding all ambitious attempts at what is styled -_fine writing_; but gives a connected recital of the important events in -the lives of his heroes. The work will be highly interesting and -valuable to all readers--particularly so to youth, who are always -attracted by biographies. If a father wishes to present to his sons -noble instances of uncorrupted and incorruptible patriotism, let him -place this work in their hands. It should have a place in every American -library, and is among the most valuable books of the season.--_Baltimore -American._ - - -FEDERAL ADMINISTRATIONS. - -MEMOIRS OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS OF WASHINGTON AND JOHN ADAMS. - -EDITED FROM THE PAPERS OF OLIVER WOLCOTT, SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. - -BY GEORGE GIBBS. - -"Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri." - -_In Two Vols Octavo. 1000 Pages, Cloth Gilt, Price $5._ - -"Books of this character best illustrate the history of the country. The -men who have acted important parts are made to speak for themselves, and -appear without any aid from the partiality of friends, or any injury -from the detraction of enemies."--_Providence Journal._ - -"The materials of which these volumes are composed are of great value. -They consist of correspondence, now first given to the world, of -Washington, the elder Adams, Ames, John Marshall, Rufus King, Timothy -Pickering, Wolcott, &c. There are thirty-seven original letters from -Alexander Hamilton, many of them of the highest interest; one in which -the writer with keen sagacity and all the splendor of his eloquence, -gives a character of Mr. Burr upon which his own fate was destined to -put the seal of truth, is read now with singular emotions. Mr. Gibbs has -performed his task extremely well. His preface is modest and dignified. -The passages of narrative by which the letters are connected are -accurate, judicious and agreeable; they illustrate, and do not overlay -the principal material of the work."--_North American._ - -"Here we meet, illustrated in something like forty important letters, -the blazing intelligence, the practical sagacity, the heroic generosity, -the various genius, which have made Hamilton the name of statesmanship -and greatness, rather than the name of a man. Here we have the piercing -judgment of John Marshall, unsusceptible of error, whose capacity to see -the truth was equalled only by his power of compelling others to receive -it; in the light of whose logic opinions appeared to assume the nature -of facts, and truth acquires the palpableness of a material reality; the -bluntness, force and probity of Pickering; the sterling excellences of -Wolcott himself, who had no artifices and no concealments; because his -strength was too great to require them, and his purposes too pure to -admit them; and sounding as an understrain through the whole, the -prophet tones of Ames."--_U.

These memoirs will be found not -only peculiarly interesting, but also instructive, as throwing -considerable light upon the manners and customs of past ages."--_Western -Continent._ - -"We have looked over the lives of some of the Queens, presented in Mr. -A. Hart's new volumes, with great interest. While none are devoid of -some degree of attraction, the most of them have a charm about their -person or character exceeding any thing we find in the most popular -romances. They are full of sentiment and romance, rendered all the more -touching from the graceful drapery in which they are adorned, and by the -truthfulness of which the reader is strongly impressed. It is of course -doubly attractive, in reading the strongly marked characters of history, -to feel a conviction of the truth, with which ever the wildest and most -thrilling incidents are invested. The Lives of these fair ladies are -full of instruction, a merit that mere romance seldom possesses. The -Author, Mrs. Forbes Bush, commences with Queen Basine, in the reign of -Childeric I., or about four hundred years after the commencement of the -Christian era. The volumes close with the late Queen of the French, -Marie Amelie."--_Saturday Courier._ - - -MORFIT'S APPLIED CHEMISTRY. - -A TREATISE UPON CHEMISTRY, IN ITS APPLICATION TO THE MANUFACTURE OF -SOAPS AND CANDLES. - -BEING A THOROUGH EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF THE TRADE -IN ALL THEIR MINUTIÆ, BASED UPON THE MOST RECENT DISCOVERIES IN SCIENCE. - -BY CAMPBELL MORFIT, -PRACTICAL AND ANALYTICAL CHEMIST. - -With 170 Engravings on Wood. - -This work is based upon the most RECENT DISCOVERIES IN SCIENCE AND -IMPROVEMENTS IN ART, and presents a thorough exposition of the -principles and practice of the trade in all their minutiæ.

"This is in truth a work without -example for its imitation, and with equal truth it is in execution a -work _sui generis_."

The drawing -and execution of the plates are splendid examples of American art, and -do credit to Messrs. Cichowski and Duval, while the description is no -less creditable to the author. We have examined the book with care, and -feel great pleasure in declaring that, in our opinion, it is a most -valuable addition to the surgical literature of the United States. It -was a happy idea to illustrate this department of surgery, as it renders -perfectly clear what the very best verbal description often leaves -obscure, and is, to some extent, a substitute for witnessing operations. -To those practitioners especially, who are called upon occasionally, -only, to perform operations, we are not acquainted with any volume -better calculated for reference prior to using the knife. There are -similar works published in Europe, but they are much more expensive, -without being superior in point of usefulness to the very cheap volume -before us. - -"All the modern operations for the cure of squinting, club-foot, and the -replacing lost parts and repairing deformities from partial destruction -of the nose, &c., are very clearly explained and prettily illustrated. -It is questionable whether anything on this subject can be better -adapted to its purpose, than Pancoast's Operative Surgery."--_Saturday -Courier._ - - -III. - -GODDARD ON THE TEETH. - -THE ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND DISEASES OF THE TEETH AND GUMS, WITH THE -MOST APPROVED METHODS OF TREATMENT, INCLUDING OPERATIONS, AND A GENERAL -ACCOUNT OF THE METHOD OF MAKING AND SETTING Artificial Teeth. - -BY PAUL BECK GODDARD, M.

Volume, illustrated by 30 beautifully executed Plates, each -containing Numerous Figures, handsomely bound in cloth. - -Price Six Dollars. - -_Uniform with "Quain's Anatomy," "Pancoast's Surgery," and "Moreau's -Midwifery."_ - -"We do not possess a modern work on Dental Surgery, written by a British -Author, which equals that of Dr. Goddard.--One reason for this may arise -from the circumstance, that the learned author is a practical anatomist, -whose knowledge is on a level with the modern discoveries, and who has -himself authenticated the latest researches into the minute anatomy of -the dental structure. It is quite apparent that such knowledge must -prove of immense value in enabling any one to arrive at just conclusions -relative to the diseases of the teeth; and it is chiefly to be -attributed to the want of such knowledge that most writers on Dental -Surgery have erred so much relative to the causes and nature of these -diseases. The work may confidently be recommended, as containing the -_best and most approved methods of performing all the operations -connected with Dental Surgery_. - -"We cannot close our remarks without adverting to the thirty very -beautiful lithographs which illustrate the text.

Journal._ - -"Moreau's treatise is another valuable work upon the science of -Midwifery, with eighty of the most splendid lithographic plates we have -ever seen. THESE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE ENGRAVED WITH SO MUCH BEAUTY AND -ACCURACY, AND UPON SO LARGE A SCALE, that they cannot fail to present to -the eye the precise relation of the foetus and of the parts engaged in -labor, under every condition and circumstance, from the commencement of -the state of natural parturition, to the most difficult and complicated -labor. The profession are greatly indebted to French industry in -pathological and special anatomy for the continued advance in the -science of Obstetrics; and the work before us may be regarded as the -completion of all that has accumulated in this department of medical -science, greatly enhanced in value by many valuable original -suggestions, to the proper arrangement of which the author has devoted a -great amount of labor.

Ricord, who is an American and a native, we -believe, of Baltimore, though now the eminent hospital surgeon of Paris, -has long been a desideratum in the English language. The immense expense -of its publication, and especially the cost of the richly coloured -engravings, which are an indispensable accompaniment of the text, has -hitherto deterred publishers at home and abroad from its issue. The -profession are largely indebted to Dr. Betton, the translator, and Dr. -Goddard, who has prepared the work for the press, as also the -enterprising publisher, who has brought out this magnificent book, in -royal quarto, with its multiplied illustrations, in a style of -excellence as respects typography, engraving, and colouring, which will -do honour to American art. Of the value of this work it is unnecessary -to say more than that it is and must continue to be a standard authority -on a most important subject involving the interests of both science and -humanity. The publisher deserves the patronage of the whole profession, -for placing within the reach of all this noble contribution to our -libraries."--_N. Y. Medical Gazette._ - - -THE AMERICAN COTTON SPINNER, AND MANAGERS' AND CARDERS' GUIDE: A -PRACTICAL TREATISE ON COTTON SPINNING. - -Compiled from the Papers of the late Robert H. Baird. - -In One Volume, Cloth Gilt, Price $1. - -"This is a practical age, and it demands practical books. Of this class -is the manual before us, addressing itself to a rapidly growing interest -among us, and one, upon the prosperity of which depends, in a great -measure, the destiny of the South. We have too long committed the fatal -error of allowing Northern manufactories to convert our staple into the -fabrics we require for use, losing by the process all the expenses of a -double transportation, the profits of manufacturing, and sundry -incidental costs of interest and exchange. With the increasing attention -to manufactures in the South, arises the need of information upon all -their appliances and workings, and much that is valuable of this nature -is found in the book before us. Mr. Baird was an expert and successful -cotton-spinner. His experience and observations are here afforded to his -fellow-operatives, combined with the modern improvements in mechanics -and methods. No intelligent man at the present day builds without -'counting the cost,' or enters upon a field of labour without a -comprehensive knowledge of its capabilities and requirements. To those -proposing to erect small factories, or now conducting them, the treatise -before us could not fail to be of service, if well studied, and to such -we commend it."--_Southern Literary Gazette._ - -"Had we space we might go on to state a number of other equally -interesting and important facts. The work from which much of the -foregoing is taken, is published by Mr. A. Hart, and was compiled -chiefly from the papers of the late Robert H. Baird, well known as an -expert cotton-spinner. It is gratifying to see that so respectable a -house as that of Mr. Hart has undertaken the publication of books of -this kind, for we believe that our operatives should possess a -theoretical as well as practical knowledge of their several trades. This -work gives the dimensions and speed of machinery, draught and twist -calculations, with notices of the most recent improvements. It must -prove an invaluable hand-book to the manufacturer."--_Germantown -Telegraph._ - -"As the treatise now stands, it is a most complete and practical guide -in the spinning of cotton. It gives the dimensions and speed of -machinery, draught and twist calculations; together with rules and -examples for making changes in the size and number of roving yarn. The -work will be found of value, equally by operatives and mill-owners. It -is issued in a very neat style."--_Arthur's Home Gazette._ - -"'The American Cotton Spinner and Managers' and Carders' Guide,' a -practical treatise on cotton-spinning, giving the dimensions and speed -of machinery, draught and twist calculations, &c., with notices of -recent improvements, together with rules and examples for making changes -in the size of roving and yarn. This work is compiled from papers of the -late Robert H. Baird, well known as an expert cotton-spinner, and will -prove of great service to cotton-growers, mill-owners, and -cotton-spinners. This book will undoubtedly meet with an extensive sale -in the South, where attention is beginning to be turned in earnest to -manufacturing as well as growing cotton."--_Drawing-room Journal._ - -"This is one of the most interesting and valuable of the many excellent -little treatises on mechanical and manufacturing pursuits which have -been published by Mr. Hart. The construction and working of a -cotton-factory are thoroughly explained. Buildings, main gearing, -water-wheels, picking and spreading machines, cards and carding, -drawing-frames, speeders, throstles and mule spinning, are elaborately -discussed, and to those engaged in the production of cotton goods, the -volume must be exceedingly useful. To political economists and others, -who feel an interest in the great progress of our country, the -historical and statistical portions of the book will also be of value. - -"'In 1770, there were exported to Liverpool from New York three bags of -cotton wool; from Virginia and Maryland, four bags; and from North -Carolina, three barrels. Last year England paid $71,984,616 to the -United States for raw cotton, which sum is exclusive of that paid to -other cotton-growing nations. In 1790 the first cotton-mill was erected -in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. In 1850 the number of spindles in operation -was computed at 2,500,000.'
