Portraits of Celebrated Women. They are among the best of his writings in those fine qualities of knowledge, sentiment, and expression, which have secured for him so wide and solid a reputation. Nine of the choicest of these portraits have been carefully transference into happy English by Miss Harriet W. Preston, and set before the American public in a handsome form by the house of Messrs. Roberts Brothers. We were already indebted to this house for the Memoirs and Correspondence of Madame Reclamier, and the Life and Letters of Madame Swetchine, two of the most charming, instructive, and exemplary works in modern literature. They have largely added to our obligation by the present work; for no cultivated and aspiring person can read it without delight and edification. Sainte-Beuve has done his work with all the strength and tact and grace of his refined genius. Miss Preston has accomplished her difficult task with uncommon skill, with pervading accuracy and frequent felicity. T

by the Publishers, Roberts Brothers, Boston. Messrs. Roberts Brothers' Publications Miss Preston's translations. Portraits of celebrated women. From the French of C. A. Sainte-Beuve. One volume. 16mo. Price $1. 50. A book we can cordially recommend to all, but especially to our lady readers. Among other sketches with equal truth and skill are Madame de Stael, Lafayette, Ruland, and Guizot. We have all heard of Madame de Stael and Madame Ruland; but few know much of Madame Lafayette, and comparatively little is known of Madame Guizot, and others in the list, who so well deserve to be known, Miss . Preston has shown good judgment in her selection from the Portraits de Femmes. Her readers will thank her for an introduction to women whose distinguished abilities and virtues, as well as generous culture, make their acquaintance as profitable as it is pleasant; and also for the good words with which she prefaces her introduction.From the Universalist Quarterly Review.

uch needed advice, its delicate satire, its clear perception of what belongs to true womanhood, and its vigorous treatment of the various topics described from The School Girl to The Queen of Home, that I cannot withhold an expression of my respect for your talents and high appreciation of the service you have rendered your sex. Extract from a letter by Wm. Lloyd Garrison. I think them excellent, combining sound sense with feminine delicacy of observation.Extract front a letter from Geo. S. Hillard. Here is a powerful plea for a higher and more complete education for women, for an education which shall develop her powers of mind and of body, more justly and more thoroughly, and fit her for taking in society the high position for which God has created her. This book ought to be in the hands of every girl who desires to live a healthy, happy life, and of every mother who would have her daughter prepared for such a life. G. B. E. in Boston Transcript.

At first, Nino, alarmed at the uproar, the darkness, and the rushing water, while sich they held ready in the lee of the ship, and the steward, by whom Nino was so much beloved, had just taken the little fellow in his arms, w there were few dry eyes in the circle. Several of them mourned for Nino, as if he had been their own; and even the callous wreckers were sofr. To-morrow, Margaret's mother, sister, and brothers will remove Nino's body to New England.

mes to the Christian in his business and social relations, his daily duties and recreations, telling him how in all these varied relations he can be a Christian in the World, and a blessing to his race.From the Boston Cultivator. But the characteristic of the work, one which will attract to it a class of intelligent, spiritual-minded Christians, the unorganized fraternity of the inner and the outer life, is its lofty, uncompromising, exhilarating idealism. It exhibits the perfect man in Christ, and to that picture it points with the calm earnestness of conviction, though with the humility and sympathy begotten by the consciousness of sin and the remembrance of divers stumblings in the way of life.From the Christian Era. Mr. Faunce is a clear and forcible writer, whose name is familiar to readers of the Baptist press, and in this essay he has most powerfully and practically developed his subject. He first impresses the practicability and positiveness of Christian duty, demande

iticism, sharp and frank as it is, is never malicious or cynical. There is no pedantry, though the author is evidently expert in lore both ancient and modern; no sickly sentiment, and, what is rare in a lady's book, no poetical quotation. The longest chapter in the book, and, as a piece of description, the finest, is the nineteenth, on Grandmothers' Houses. This is painting from the life, and with a minuteness and finish worthy of the most accomplished of the Dutch or Flemish masters. Whittier's Snow-Bound is not more complete in its kind. From the Christian Register. It consists of twenty short, sensible, witty, and vigorous essays, directed chiefly against the follies of the sex.From the Boston Globe. She writes so keenly at times as to suggest comparison with the author of the Saturday Review papers on woman; with this marked difference, that, while the criticisms — of the latter are bitter and unsparing, those of Mrs. Woolson, however sincere, evince always the genero
