"The style of the stories is no less remarkable for its ease and gracefulness, than for the delicacy of its humour, and its beautiful and at times affecting simplicity. A lady must have written it-for it is from the bosom of woman alone, that such tenderness of feeling and such delicacy of sentiment-such sweet lessons of morality-such deep and pure streams of virtue and piety, gush forth to cleanse the juvenile mind from the grosser impurities of our nature, and prepare the young for lives of usefulness here, and happiness hereafter. We advise parents of young families to procure this little book-assuring them that it will have a tendency to render their offspring as sweet as innocent, as innocent as gay, as gay as happy. It is dedicatad by the author to her young Bedford friends, Anna and Maria Jay'-but who this fair author is, we cannot even guess. We would advise some sensible educated bachelor to find out.”—N. 7. Com. Adv.

XXII. The PRACTICE of PHYSIC, by W. P. DEWEES, M. D. Adjunct Professor of Midwifery in the University of Pennsylvania, 2 vols. 8vo.

The profession need not be informed how much a work like that now published was wanted. It has been the particular object of the author to endeavour to accommodate the mode of managing the diseases of which he treats to the many pathological discoveries recently made, both in this country and in Europe; and having also availed himself of his long experience, he trusts that his work will remove many of the embarrassments experienced by practitioners.

XXIII. DEWEES on the DISEASES of CHILDREN. Third edition. In 8vo.

The objects of this work are, 1st, to teach those who have the charge of children, either as parent or guardian, the most approved methods of securing and improving their physical powers. This is attempted by pointing out the duties which the parent or the guardian owes for this purpose, to this interesting, but helpless class of beings, and the manner by which their duties shall be fulfilled. "And 2d, to render available a long experience to these objects of our affections, when they become diseased. In attempting this, the author has avoided as much as was possible, "technicality;" and has given, if he does not flatter himself too much, to cach disease of which he treats, its appropriate and designating characters, with a fidelity that will prevent any two being confounded, together with the best mode of treating them, that either his own experience or that of others has suggested.

XXIV. DEWEES on the DISEASES of FEMALES. Second edition with additions. In 8vo.

XXV. DEWEES'S SYSTEM of MIDWIFERY. Fourth edition, with additions.

XXVI. CHAPMAN'S THERAPEUTICS and MATERIA MEDICA. Fifth edition, with additions. XXVII. The ATLANTIC SOUVENIR, for 1830, in elegant fancy leather binding, and with numerous embellishments by the best Artists.

The publishers have spared neither pains nor expense in endeavouring to render this, their fifth annual volume, still more worthy the high degree of fa vour which its predecessors have enjoyed. All the impressions being from steel render them equally perfect, and the binding being a fancy leather, the whol will be rendered more permanent. In the list of Authors will be found many of the most distinguished writers in this country.

A few copies remain unsold of the ATLANTIC SOUVENIR, a Christmas and New Year's Present for 1827, 1828, and 1829, with numerous embellishments by the best Artists.

XXVIII. A CHRONICLE of the CONQUEST of GRENADA, by WASHINGTON IRVING, Esq. in 2 vols.

“On the whole, this work will sustain the high fime of Washington Irving. It fills a blank in the historical library which ought not to have remained so long a blank. The language throughout is at once chaste and animated; and the narrative may be said, like Spencer's Fairy Queen, to present one long gallery of splendid pictures. Indeed, we know no pages from which the artist is more likely to derive inspiration, nor perhaps are there many incidents in literary history more surprising than that this antique and chivalrous story should have been for the first time told worthily by the pen of an American and a res publican."-London Literary Gazette.

XXX. The WISH-TON-WISH, by the Author of the SPY, PIONEERS, RED ROVER, &c. in 2 vols. 12mo.

"We can conceive few periods better calculated to offer a promising field to the novelist than that which these pages illustrate;-the mingling of wildest adventure with the most plodding industry-the severe spirit of the religion of the first American settlers-the feelings of household and home at variance with all earlier associations of country--the magnificence of the scenery by which they were surrounded-their neighbourhood to that most picturesque and extraordinary of people we call savages;-these, surely, are materials for the novelist, and in Mr. Cooper's hands they have lost none of their interest. We shall not attempt to detail the narrative, but only say it is well worthy of the high reputation of its author. All the more serious scenes are worked up to the highest pitch of excitement; if any where we have to complain of aught like failure, it is in the lighter parts, and some of the minor details, which are occasionally spun out too much."-London Literary Gazette.

Member of the Philadelphia Medical Society, and E. DURAND, Member of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. "It contains all the pharmaceutical information that the physician can desire, and in addition, a larger mass of information, in relation to the properties, &c. of the different articles and preparations employed in medicine, than any of the dispensatories, and we think will entirely supersede all these publications in the library of the physician.”—Âm.

By BENJAMIN ELLIS, M. D. Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 2d edition, with additions.

"A small and very useful volume has been recently published in this city, entitled 'The Medical Formulary.' We believe that this volume will meet with a cordial welcome from the medical public. We would especially recommend it to our brethren in distant parts of the country, whose insulated situations may prevent them from having access to the many authorities which have been consulted in arranging materials for this work.”—Phil.

"From the extracts with which we have indulged our readers, they will be able to form an idea of the character and spirit of M. de Marbois's performance. The outline which we have drawn, however, does very seanty justice to the me rits of the whole work, which, we repeat, is in our judgment the best that has recently appeared, either at home or abroad, on some of the most important topics of American history and politics. If we do not agree with all the author's opi nions, we cannot but accord to him unqualified praise for his fairness, liberality, good judgment, and enlightened views. The volume will be a treasure among the historical annals of the country. We are glad to know that a translation of it by a competent hand is in progress in Paris, and will speedily be published in the United States.”—North American Review.

IN THE PRESS,

I. The YOUNG LADIES' BOOK, a Manual of Instructive Exercises, Recreations and Pursuits. With numerous plates.

This is a work recently published by Messrs. Vizetelly, Branston & Co. London, with upwards of seven hundred embellishments, engraved in a superior style on wood. The volume is a duodecimo of more than five hundred pages, and sells in England for one guinea. It is intended to make the American edition a perfect fac-simile, or as nearly so as practicable in this country, and to afford it at 4, neatly bound in silk, and elegantly gilt. This work cannot be classed as Annual, but may be said to be a Perennial, a suitable memorial for all times and seasons, It differs essentially from the whole class of Literary Gifts usually presented to Young Ladies, being a complete manual for all those elegant pursuits which grace the person and adorn the mind. The London pubfishers state that the various subjects of which the volume is composed, have been confined to proficients in their several departments, and the engravings have been executed in the best style of the English artists.

X. A TREATISE ON FEVER. BY SOUTHWOOD SMITH, M. D. Physician to the London Fever Hospital.

"For simplicity of arrangement, perspicuity of view, power of argument and practical deduction, this Treatise on Fever stands without competition, at the head of all that has been written on this abstruse disease."-Westminster Review, Jan.

"There is no man in actual practice in this metropolis, who should not pos sess himself of Dr. Smith's work.”—London Medical and Surgical Journal, Feb. "While the study of this work must be a matter of duty to the members of the medical profession, the general reader will find it perfectly intelligible, and of great practical utility."-Monthly Repository, March.

"With a mind so framed to accurate observation, and logical deduction, Dr. Smith's delineations are peculiarly valuable."-Medico-Chir. Rev. March,

XI. The MUSSULMAN, by R. R. MADDEN, Esq. author of Travels in Turkey, Egypt, Nubia, and Palestine, in 2 vols.

"The portraiture of Turkish life and character, which this work exhibits, has perhaps, never been equalled. The account of Mohamed Ali, the destruction of the Manielukes, the picture of Bedouin warfare, the description of the Dervish, and of the Arabian Astrologer, are indeed among the most splendid delineations ever introduced into the pages of fiction."-Sun.

XII. The ARMENIANS, a Tale of Constantinople, by J. MACFARLAND, in 2 vols.

"The author will appreciate our respect for his talents, when we say that he has done more than any other man to complete the picture of the East, dashed off by the bold pencil of the author of Anastasius."-Edin. Lit. Journ.

XIII. JOURNAL of the HEART, edited by the Authoress of FLIRTATION.

"This is a most charming and feminine volume, one delightful for a woman to read, and for a woman to have written; elegant language, kind and gentle thoughts, a sweet and serious tone of religious feeling run through every page, and any extract must do very scanty justice to the merit of the whole. ****** We most cordially recommend this Journal of the Heart, though we are unable to do it justice by any selection of its beauties, which are too intimately interwoven to admit of separation."-Literary Gazette.
