VIRGINIA: A HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE, BY JOHN ESTEN COOKE. With a Map of Colonial Virginia. 544 pages. 16mo, gilt top, $1.25. A brilliantly executed monograph on Virginia, in which Mr. Cooke undertakes more especially to give a historical sketch of its people, embracing an outline portraiture of their temper and disposition, their life, manners and literature, their personal, social, and intellectual characteristics, coupled with a succinct but spirited, and at times vividly dramatic narrative of the stirring events in which they bore a part.-HARPER'S MAGAZINE. No better book could be put into the hands of our boys and girls to give them a true account of our State by a loyal son, to infuse admiration for their ancestors and emulation of their noble virtues.-EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL OF VIRGINIA. In the skillful hands of the man who is to Virginia what Sir Walter Scott was to legendary Scotland, the people come out from the canvas of history and grow alive; the very Indians are human beings, and one ceases to feel that this was all a hundred years ago. This is enough to say, for it is better to read Cooke's "Virginia" than to read about it.-COURIER JOURNAL (Louisville). HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN & COMPANY, 4 PARK STREET, BOSTON, MASS.

"In 1860, the Faculty of the University of Virginia adopted Worcester as their standard, and are now stronger than ever in their adherence to it as their standard. The following is a copy of the resolutions taken from the record of the University : "At a meeting of the Faculty of the University of Virginia, held July 7, 1860, Professor Holmes offered the following resolutions: "Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Faculty, Worcester's Dictionary affords the most reliable authority for the orthography of the English language. "Resolved, Therefore, that Worcester's Dictionary is, for the present, recognized as the standard for propriety in this respect.' They were passed." WORCESTER is generally regarded as the STANDARD AUTHORITY for the English language, and is so recommended by Bryant, Longfellow, Whittier, Sumner, Holmes, Irving. Winthrop, Agassiz, Marsh, Henry Everett, Mann, Stephens, Quincy, Felton, Hilliard, Memminger, and the majority of our most distinguished scholars, and is, besides, recognized as authority by the Departments of our National Governments. It is also adopted by many of the Boards of Public Instruction, and in all the large newspaper offices in the United States and England.
