HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN & Co. will publish next week the first two volumes of the new Riverside edition of the works of Mr. Whittier. This edition is to be very complete, and will contain his prose in three volumes and poems in four, in the same style with the Riverside Longfellow. At the same time will appear a novel by J. P. Quincy, entitled "The Peckster Professorship." which is out of the common line of stories, and will be of special interest to those who are attracted by Spiritualism and similar mysteries; "Realistic Idealism in Philosophy Itself," a work of much thought and research, by Nathaniel Holmes, author of perhaps the best of the volumes yet written on the authorship of Shakespeare; a translation into English verse of the "Divine Comedy of Dante," by J. A. Wilstach, who a few years since published a translation of the complete works of Virgil; and “ 'After Noontide," a little volume of passages selected by Mrs. Margaret E. White from a great variety of authors, intended for the cheer and comfort of persons who are in the afternoon of life. As we go to press, word reaches us from the New York agency of Rand, McNally & Co., that the injunction on their translation of Zola's "Dream" has been vacated and dissolved. Laird & Lee, we understand, did not interfere with the Chicago house of Rand, McNally & Co., and therefore there was no delay in supplying their orders from that city. They are now sending out the book from both cities. They also inform us that they have commenced action for damages in New York, and that they intend bringing an injunction suit against Laird & Lee's edition in Chicago.

Prepared and issued under the provisions of the John C. Green Income Fund, being the fifth work procured by this fund. The results of investigation of the last twenty years have been so immense, that a new work on Biblical antiquities was found absolutely necessary. The publishers have been fortunate in securing the services of Dr Bissell, of Hartford Seminary, an accomplished scholar and sound thinker. He has aimed to present the principal facts of biblical antiquities in the stricter sense, together with some of their moral and religious bearings, and to show their true place and significance in the plan and history of redemption. No attempt has been made to treat largely of the geography or topography, the political or natural history, of the lands of the Bible. *Blessed (The) ones of 1888; tr. from the German by Eliza A.

Hinton, considered as a record of his public services, is a striking and picturesque narrative, in which, while Sheridan is always the prominent figure, the history of the events in which he participated is faithfully related. Pains have been taken to emphasize his preeminent qualities as a soldier, and the frequency with which contemporary criticisms and anecdotes of various kinds have been made to subserve this end bears testimony to the literary skill and industry of the authors. Three-fourths of the volume are devoted to Sheridan's career in the war of the rebellion, while the details of his sickness, death, and burial fill upward of sixty pages.
