Humboldt's Cosmos. Translated, with the Author's sanction and co- operation, under the superintendence of Lieutenant-Colonel E. Sabine, B..A., For. Sec. RS. Volumes L and IL [Behold the effects of competition I A short time since, Mr. Bohn included a new translation of Humboldt's Cosmos in his Scientific Library, at three shillings and sixpence a volume. Here we have the "authorized edition," translated by Mrs. Sabine, and superintended by the Colonel, at the wish of the author, who has moreover read a great portion of the proof-sheets, the revision being completed by the Chevalier Bunsen ; and to be had at half-a-crown a volume. In other words, Colonel Sabine's edition of the Cosmos, extending to nearly a thousand pages, may be purchased complete for five shillings.] Fairy Tales from All Nations. By Anthony R. Montalba. With twenty- four Illustrations by Richard Doyle. [Hebrews, Arabians, Indians, Sclavonians' Swedes, Poles, Germans, and various other peoples, have contributed to form this selection of nine-and-twenty fairy tales, not any of which Mr. DIontalba believes have appeared before in an English dress. The volume is tastefully clad, and the text illustrated by numerous de- signs from the pencil of Mr. Doyle, in a fanciful spirit akin to that which pro- duced the stories, and possibly in a higher taste.] The Earth's Antiquity in Harmony with the Mosaic Record- of Creation. By James Gray, M.A., Rector of Dibden, Hants. [The main drift of this book is to reconcile the extreme antiquity of the earth as shown by geologists with the Mosaic narrative. The scope of Mr. Gray's argu- ment is to prove, for instance, that "in the beginning" means an indefinite past time, or even a backward eternity, and that "day" is not to be used only in our common acceptation of it. The philological and general reasons are not new in themselves, but their collection produces an effect.] Sermons on Events in Sacred History. By James Cooper, M.A., Perpetna Curate of St. Jude's, Bradford, &c. [Thirteen sermons, which derive interest from the application of some of the most remarkable events in Scripture to the general conduct of life; as the Domi- nion over the Earth assigned to Man. Some of the discourses, however, can hardly be said to be on events; as the Confession of Sin, on the text "We have sinned with our fathers," &c.] The Electoral Laws of Belgium proposed as the basis of Parliamentary Reform in England. Translated, with the Commentary of M. J. B. Bi- vort, Secretary of the Cabinet of the Belgian Minister of the Interior, by Philip Edward Barnes, Esq., B.A., F.L.S.
[Extracts from the Constitution of Belgium of the articles relating to the repre- sentative bodies, followed by the electoral laws, and a selection from the com- mentary of M. Bivort. The chief object of the publication appears to be the furtherance of a reform in Parliament according to a plan of Mr. Barnes, which is explained at some length in an introduction.]
The " Undercliff" of the Isle of Wight; its Climate, History, and Natural Productions. By Geurge A. Martin, M.D. [The topography, the " skiey influences," and the climate of Undercliff, with the seasons and diseases in which it is beneficial to insalids, will all be found described in Dr. Martin's volume; with its zoology, botany, and geology, for those whose taste and strength incline them to something beyond a mere ramble.] Rudimentary Mechanics; being a concise Exposition of the General Prin- ciples of Mechanical Science, and their Applications. By Charles Tom- linson.
iThe aim of Mr. Tomlinson is to impress principles ; facts being used rather as illustrations than for themselves. The expositions are clear, and the book is re- markably cheap-upwards of a hundred and seventy pages with many diagrams for a shilling.] Poems. By Thomas John Ouseley.
CA collection of miscellaneous poems, most of which have already appeared in periodical publications; followed by a longer piece called a "Vision of Death's Destruction," which is here reprinted for the fourth time.]
