Cultivator and Country Gentleman. The volume under notice, which, by the way, is quite fully illustrated, is the most complete work upon the subject that has yet 150 appeared in this country. Its author has been for several years engaged in investigating the subject of forestry in the Department of Agriculture, and his reports have been highly commended at home and abroad. In this volume he has confined himself very strictly to the practical side of the subject, and has left untouched no details as to soils, climates, methods of propagation, ornamental planting, hedges, cutting and preserving timber, insect ravages, forest fires, etc. Theoretical discussions are entirely avoided, and the whole tone and scope of the volume are in the highest degree plain, practical and intelligent.-New England Farmer.

No housekeeper in the land should be without this book.-Kansas City Times. The arrangement, the index, the classifi cation, the terse but lucid brevity of the recipes, the insertion of a number of blank leaves-every thing about this book, shows that it was gotten up with great care, by ladies of rare intelligence, cultivation, and experience.-Frankfort (Ky.)

The 571 pages of the book are well and profusely illustrated, and it is beyond doubt a valuable contribution to the history of the war. . . . . The work has an intense interest for the soldier, and the young tivilian will read it with wonder. .... The testimony of this book is weighty and conclusive.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

It is the relation of the personal experiences of the authors in southern prisons, into which stories are interwoven facts revealed by the government archives and war records from both the union and rebel sides. . . . Interspersed throughout are anecdotes and incidents of prison life, forming a complete picture of captive experiences.-Chicago Inter-Ocean. With an Anniver JACKSON. THE BLACK ARTS IN MEDICINE. sary Address. By the late JOHN D. JACKSON, M.D., of Kentucky. Edited by L. S. McMurtry, M. D. 12mo. Cloth. This quaint title suggested to us, before perusal, a history of the astrology and alchemy of the early fathers in medicine, and the impress of such arts on the practice of to-day. But in this estimate we were quite mistaken. By an ingenious perversion of the original meaning of the term, the doctor has made, under the form of scathing satire, a denunciation of the disreputable arts and devices resorted to by the unscrupulous with the purpose of securing patronage. Unhappily there is too much truth conveyed by this satire, which, veluti in speculum, reflects back the habits of very many of our otherwise respectable men. If the public could have as keen an appreciation of the contemptible littleness of these prac 1 00 tices as evidenced by the author of this work, the black arts would soon become the lost arts of medicine.-New York Medical Journal. This is one of the most amusing, most entertaining, most sarcastic, and most useful monographs that have been received for many months. If one will study this work, and, avoiding all the arts so well satirized, pursue the course tacitly or constructively indicated, he will become a wiser, purer, and better man, a more efficient, trustworthy, and accomplished physician. This is exalted commendation for so small a publication, but the praise bestowed is well and fully deserved.—Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal. JASPER. THE BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA. Drawn from Nature; engraved and described by THEODORE JASPER, A. M., M. D. Each part contains three beautifully colored Plates, and one tinted Scientific Plate, twelve by fifteen inches, and eight pages of letter-press, devoted to the Popular and Scientific History of North American Birds, including a popular Account of their Habits and Characteristics. 2 vols. Royal 4to. Half morocco. 50 00 THE SAME. Popular portion only, with the Colored Plates. 1 vol. Full morocco. I am much pleased with your work, "The Birds of North America," especially with that part which treats of the osteological and anatomical characters of birds, for too little has been written upon this subject by other ornithologists. In the grouping of the birds, arrangement of light and shade, in the perspective and delineations of the form and feathers, Dr. Jasper has certainly sur passed all other artists, producing the best pictures of the species which I have ever 40 00 seen.-Prof. C. F. Maynard, author of "The Birds of Florida." A work in every way worthy the subject, and one attainable by all lovers of birds. Having compared these with specimens in our own cabinets, we are prepared to vouch for their fidelity. Having made a special study of works of ornithology, we take pleasure in recommending this work, as, every thing considered, being by far the most satisfactory of any in the market. Prof. R. A.

ALFRED KELLEY; HIS LIFE AND WORK By Ion. 1 50 Mr. Kelley was born in Middlefield, Conn., in 1789; spent his youth in Lowville, N. Y.; and in 1810, having come of age, was on his way on horseback to the "Great West,' there to make his home and his fortune. In 1814, Mr. Kelley had so far established himself in his new position as to be sent to the legislature, and he was then its youngest member, as when retiring therefrom, in 1857, he was its oldest member. There more than forty years, many of them years of active legislative service, both in the Senate and House of Representatives, were the arena for those public works which deservedly made Mr. Kelley the most conspicuous, as he was justly the most memorable, Ohio man of his time. The personal efforts and official life of Mr. Kelley are so intimately blended with the development of the resources of Ohio, with its commercial and financial prosperity, and with the establishment and maintenance of its credit, that this narrative necessarily includes much of these departments of the history of the state. Its pertinency to the times, its vital relations to Ohio history, its touches of reminiscence, and its exemplification of a stalwart, sturdy, steadfast American character of the highest and noblest type, will commend it to general attention.

It is written in a plain, candid manner, and can not fail to be of essential service to those who will read and practice its precepts. The subject is one of great importance to our farmers, and demands of them more attention than it has yet received.-New England Farmer. We hail with pleasure the appearance of this work. The author-who, by the way, ists of the West-has taken great pains to show the cost and comparative value of different kinds of drains-open, mole, tile, brush, etc.-and their effect on the different kinds of grain roots, etc. We advise the farmers of the West to procure the above work, and, in perusing its pages, they will gain what years of experience alone can give.-Chicago Farmers' Advocate.

LEE. CHROMATIC CHART AND MANUAL OF PARLIAMENTARY LAW. By J. Ross LEE. 24mo. Stiff paper, 25c. Leather, 50 Who would have thought a few simple colors could express so many pages of rules and abstract facts? Here they are, separate and distinct, yet all together. The "Chart" answers all the questions that are likely to arise in any assembly. It presents them instantly, fully, and plainly. No turning of leaves, no following of lines. no reading of abbreviations, but simply requiring a look, that is all; for the "Chart" shows at a glance every thing needful to be known concerning each motion, and these needful things are presented to the eye, without the necessity of reading. It shows that the author has carefully mastered his subject. The work is complete, yet occupies no more space than a common letter. It contains as much as the large, cumbersome books, but has none of their constant and useless repetitions. It has the merit of being terse, yet clear; brief, yet exhaustive. Mr. Lee has produced a valuable work, for which public men, ministers lawyers, and all who may be called upon to preside over deliberative assemblies, or mass meetings, will be very thankful. It is a complete manual. It will carry the chairman gracefully over any emergency. It puts before the eye, in the most available form, the principles of parliamentary law. Being no larger than an ordinary letter, it can always be carried in the pocket without the least inconvenience. But the "Chart" is the marvelous thing. Without reading, by the glance of the eye, and, in a second, the chairman can dispose of any question arising out of the combination of motions. The work reflects great credit upon the ability and ingenuity of the author, and shows that he has a ready and complete mastery of the subject about which he has written.-The American. LLOYD. THE CHEMISTRY OF MEDICINE. A Practical Text and Reference Book, for the Use of Students, Physicians, and Pharmacists. Embodying the Principles of Chemical Philosophy, and their Application to those Chemicals that are used in Medicine and in Pharmacy, including all those that are officinal in the Pharmacopoeia of the United States. With 50 original cuts. By Prof. J. W. LLOYD. 12mo. Cloth, $2.75. Leather, The treatise almost exclusively relates to such chemical processes and products as are of interest to the physician or pharmacist. The author wastes but little time on theory, but gives clear descriptions of the processes by which chemicals are prepared; mentions the principal impurities or adulterations to which they are liable, and supplies tests for their detection. It will prove a valuable addition to the library, useful to all, and almost indispensable to the student in medicine or pharmacy-Druggists Circular and Chemical Gazette. 3 25 but of the compounds, those which have been employed in medicine are treated of. The limits thus drawn by the Luthor have enabled him to give, in the space at hand, outlines of the various processes, with many useful, practical hints, descriptions of the various compounds, and brief directions for determining their purity.-American Journal of Pharmacy. The writer places the facts before the reader in as clear and concise a way as possible. In fact, it may be said to take the place of a private instructor in chemistry.All the important elements are described, The Pharmacist and Chemist, Chicago. |
