Professor Upham has brought together the leading views of the best writers on the most important topics of mental science, and exhibited them, as well as the conclusions which he himself adopts, with great good judgment, candour, clearness, and method.

LAMB'S WORKS.

The Works of Charles Lamb. With his Letters, and a Sketch of his Life. By Thomas Noon Talfourd. New Edition. 2 vols. royal 12mo. Portrait. $2 00.

Charles Lamb is an old and valued friend to all true lovers of the beau tiful, the quaint, and the quiet of literature Let those who have no read him, do so at once, but not hurry through the pages, expecting to find excitement and incident in every paragraph. They must read as one angles-placidly, lazily, and patiently, and they will not be disappointed. Charles Lamb has justly been considered by some as the model essayist his pleasantry and true gentleness have rendered his productions universal favourites. His delicious "Essays" are full of wisdom, pregnant with genuine wit, abound in true pathos, and have a rich vein of humour running through them all.-Hall.

HARPER'S FAMILY LIBRARY.

The Family Library. Now comprising 173 vols. 18mo. Abundantly illustrated by Maps, Portraits, and Engravings. Bound uniformly, but each work sold separately. $77 05 per set.

A title which, from the valuable and entertaining matter the collection contains, as well as from the careful style of its execution, it well deserves. No family, indeed, in which there are children to be brought up, ought to be without this library, as it furnishes the readiest resources for that education which ought to accompany or succeed that of the boarding-school or the academy, and is infinitely more conducive than either to the cultivation of the intellect.-Monthly Review.

We recommend the whole set of the Family Library as one of the cheapest means of affording pleasing instruction, and imparting a proper pride in books, with which we are acquainted.-United States Gazette.

Observations in the East, chiefly in Egypt, the Desert, Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor, and Constantinople. By John P. Durbin, D.D. 2 vols. 12mo. Engravings. Muslin gilt. $200.

It is a most rich, intellectual feast.-Buffalo Advocate.

The volumes are, without exaggeration, equal in interest and graphic effect to the best books of modern travel with which we are acquainted. There is an off-hand frankness and spirit about the sketches, which are always marked by caution and discrimination, so that the statements are as reliable as they are attractively interesting.-Spirit of the Times.

This book is curious, attractive, and instructive; the author has avoided all useless lumber, and recorded in simple, unaffected language, his observations upon what met his eye. His book shows the scholar, the Christian, the philosophical observer, and the American patriot, but not a bit of the pedant or the bore; a more agreeable companion or guide could scarcely be found than Dr. Durbin.-Buffalo Com. Advertiser.

Dr. Olin's excellent volumes convey a great amount of information, also remarkably accurate; his volume contains the best account of Egypt that has appeared in this country-perhaps in the language.-Dr. DURBIN.

This work, from the pen of the distinguished President of the Wesleyan University, is among the latest on the subject. It is rich in information, pervaded by a lofty spirit, and entitled to entire confidence.-Dr. POTTER'S Hand-book.
