 Humble Life on the Coast of Schleswig. Translated from the German of Biernatz- 

 ski, by Mrs. GEORGE P. MARSH. "With a Biographical Sketch of the Author. 

 12mo, cloth. $1.00- 



The author of this work was the grandson of an exiled Polish nobleman. His own portrait It 

 understood to be drawn in one of the characters of the Tale, and indeed the whole work has a sub- 

 stantial foundation in fact. In Germany it has passed through several editions, and is there regard- 

 ed as the chef-d'eeuvre of the author. As a revelation of an entire new phase of human society, it 

 will strongly remind the reader of Miss Bremer's tales. In originality and brilliancy of imagination, 

 it is not inferior to those; its aim is far higher. The elegance of Mrs. Marsh's translation will nt 

 once arresc the attention of every competent judge. 



HON. ROBERT C. WINTHROP. "I have read it with deep interest. Mrs. Marsh has given us aa 

 admirable version of a most striking and powerful work." 



FROM PROF. i ? . D. HUNTINGTON, D. D., IN THE RELIGIOUS MAGAZINE. " Wherever the work 

 goes it fascinate.!? the cultivated and the illiterate, the young and the old, the devout and the careless. 

 Our own copy i, in brisk circulation. The vivid and eloquent description of the strange scenery, 

 the thrilling accounts of the mysterious action of the waters and vapors of the Schleswig coast, &c., 

 all form a story of uncommon attractions and unmingled excellence." 



DR. SPRAGUS IN ALBANY SPECTATORS " A rare and beautiful work. It is an interesting 

 contribution to the physical geography of a part of Europe lying quite beyond the reach of ordi- 

 nary observatio.-i, and as a genial and faithful sketch of human life under conditions which are 

 hardly paralleled elsewhere." 



The tale is a novel one, containing thrilling scenes, as well as religious teachings. PRESBYTERIAN. 



A beautiful and exquisite natural tale. In novelty of life and customs, as well as in nicely drawn 

 shades of local and personal character the Hallig, is equalled by very few works of fiction. 

 BOSTON ATLAS. 



The story, which is deeply thrilling, is exclusively religious. CH. SECRETARY. 



Here we have another such book as makes the reading of it a luxury, even in hot summer weather. 

 It takes us to an island home, in the chill regions of the North Sea, and introduces us to pastoral 

 scenes as lively and as edifying as those of Oberlin, in the Ban de la Roche. SOUTHERN BAP. 



THE CAMEL : His Organization, Habits and Uses, considered with refer 

 ence to his Introduction into the United States. BY GEORGE P. MARSH, late U 

 S. Minister at Constantinople. 16mo, cloth. 75 cents. 



This book treats of a subject of great interest, especially at the present time. It furnishes the only 

 complete and reliable account of the Camel in the language. It is the result of extensive research 

 and personal observation, and it has been prepared with special reference to the experiment now 

 being made by our Government, of domesticating the Camel in this country. 



A repository of interesting information respecting the Camel. The author collected the principal 

 materials for his work during his residence and travels for some years in the East. He describes 

 the species, size, color, temper, longevity, useful products, diet, powers, training and speed of the 

 Camel, and treats of his introduction into the United States. PHIL. CHRISTIAN OBSERVER. 



This is a most interesting book, on several accounts. The subject is full of romance and informa- 

 tion ; the treatment is able and thorough. TEXAS CH. ADVOCATE. 



Our Government have taken measures for introducing the Camel into this country, and an appro- 

 priation of $00,000 has been made by Congress. It becomes a matter of practical importance, there- 

 fore, to obtain the fullest and most reliable information possible respecting the animal and his adapta- 

 tion to this country. His advent among us will stimulate general curiosity, and raise a thousand 

 questions respecting his character and habits of life, his powers of endurance, his food, his speed, 

 his length of life, his fecundity, the methods of managing and using him, the cost of keeping him, 

 the value of his carcass after death, &c. Thia work furnishes, in a small compass, all the desired 

 Information. BOSTON ATLAS.
