A HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION from the Secret Archives of Germany. By PROF. VON SYBEL. University of Bonn. Translated with the Author's aid. By WALTER C. PERRY.

Under such circumstances, I hailed the opportunity offered me, of consulting the greater part of the authentic materials hitherto concealed from the historical inquirer, and gained access to the letters and despatches of the Statesmen and Generals of Prussia, &c."-Author's Preface.

THE HENRY,

"The idea of illustrating the Bible by really faithful representations of the places spoken of, is, we think, a peculiarly happy one, for it is a kind of commentary, and helps the reader to feel that the events recorded are historical facts. The book is a work of very great elegance and sound scholarship."-Union Review.

London Review.

NEW ATLAS by A. KEITH JOHNSTON.

This day is published,

THE HANDY ROYAL ATLAS,

By ALEX. KEITH JOHNSTON,
LL.D., F.R.S.E., F.R.G.S., &c.,

Author of the " Royal Atlas," the " Physical Atlas," &c. This work has been constructed for the purpose of placing in the hands of the public a useful and thoroughly accurate ATLAS of Maps of Modern Geography, in a convenient form, and at a moderate price. It is based on the " ROYAL ATLAS." by the same Author; and, in so far as the scale permits, it comprises many of the excellencies which its prototype is acknowledged to possess. The aim has been to make the book strictly what its name implies, a HANDY ATLAS-a valuable substitute for the Royal," whe e that is too bulky or too expensive to find a place. a needful auxiliary to the junior branches of families, and a vade mecum to the tutor and the pupil-teacher.

predia of the Sports and Pastimes, Athletic, Scientific, and Recreative, of Boyhood and Youth.

If imitation be- as it has been aptly pronounced the highest form of compliment, the Proprietors of The Boy's Own Book "have ample reason for congratulation; for it would be very difficult to find any work that has had so many imitators, yet it still holds its proud position as the recognized authority upon everything pertaining to the amusements of English boys. In the present edition every article has been thoroughly revised, or re-written and. by means of an enlarged page, and the considerable increase in the number of pages, space has been found for many important new subjects and large extensions of the old ones.

"This is a very pleasant journal that costs only fourpence a month, and from which the reader who is no naturalist ought to be able to pick up a good four-penny worth. It is conducted and contributed to by expert naturalists, who are cheerful companions. as all good naturalists are; technical enough to make the general reader feel that they are in earnest, and are not insulting him by writing down to his comprehension, but natural enough and direct enough in their records of facts, their questioning and answering each other concerning curiosities of nature. The reader who buys for himself their monthly budget of notes and discussions upon pleasant points in natural history and science. will probably find his curiosity excited and his interest in the world about him taking the form of a little study of some branch of this sort of knowledge that has won his re diest attention. The fault is not with itself, but with the public, if this little magazine be not in favour with a very large circle of readers."-Examiner.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-LOW TEMPERATURE the

Cold and changeable weather is very spt to undermine the health, unless the stomach is kept to its highest state of efficiency. Holloway's Pills improve the appetite, and so promote digestion that a large and strengthening supply of new material is thrown into the blood after every meal, whereby fresh vigour and activity are bestowed on every organ, and ability to resist disease is conferred on the system. These Pills thoroughly purify the blood when it has been tainted by fogs, unwho some vapours, or other im urities. No medicine equals these Pills for ren oving bi iousness, suppressing nausea, checking flatulency, and acting as mild yet effective aperients, which are suitable for either sex or any age.

B. have long been remarkable."-Spectator.

"The illustrations are worthy of the text, for they are generally coloured in strict accordance with nature, and have been printed with marvelous skill. Indeed, we do not hesitate to say that the plates in this volume are the best specimens of colour-printing we have ever scen."-Illustrated Times.

A HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION from the Secret Archives of Germany. By PROF. VON SYBEL. University of Bonn. Translated with the Author's aid. By WALTER C. PERRY.

"Very few German writers have attempted to describe the important epoch of the French Revolution. The German governments, down to 153, had shrouded their Archives in the deepest secrecy. Under such circumstances, I hailed the opportunity offered me, of consulting the greater part of the authentic materials hitherto concealed from the historical inquirer, and gained access to the letters and despatches of the Statesmen and Generals of Prussia, &c."-Author's Preface.

JOHN MURRAY, Albemarle Street.
