WALLACE'S MALAY ARCHIPELAGO. 

 The Malay Archipelago : The Land of the 

 Orang-Utan and the Bird of Paradise. A 

 Narrative of Travel, 1 854-1862. With Stud- 

 ies of I\Ian and Nature. By Alfred Rdssel 

 Wallace. With Ten Maps and Fifty-one 

 Elegant Illustrations. Crown 8vo, Cloth, 

 $3 50. 



Mr. Wallace'si stvle is as charming as Darwin's, and 

 prcater praise it could not have. His scientific ob- 

 servations are as interesting as other people's adven- 

 tures ; he is a trulv intellisrent writer— one who has 

 the power to interest others in his pursuits, investiga- 

 tions, and snecnlations. Those who have read Mr. 

 Darwin's "Vovasre of a Naturalist," a book too little 

 known, will fiiid in this a companion volume as ab- 

 sorbindv interesting and as clear and instructive as 

 that.— A'. Y. Eveninn Po/>t. 



In short, no book of travels, adventure, and observ- 

 .ations of onrtime can be pronounced superior to this, 

 in which Mr. Wallace gives an accurate account of that 

 rich and wonderful part of the globe, the great and 

 lavishly-endowed Malay Archipelago, and which the 

 American publishers have reproduced in admirable 

 stvle. — lionton Traveller. 



A vivid picture of tropical life, which may be read 

 with unflagging interest, and a sufficient account of 

 his scientific conclusions to stimulate our appetite 

 without wearving us by detail. In short, we may 

 safely say that we have seldom read a more agreeable 

 book of its MnA.— Saturday Review.

LOOMIS'S ASTRONOMY. Elements of As- 

 tronomy. Designed for Academies and High 

 Schools. By Elias Loomis, LL.D., Pro- 

 fessor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy 

 in Yale College, and Author of a " Course of 

 Mathematics." ]2mo. Sheep, $1 50. 

 We took up Prof. Loomis's Elements of Astronomy, 

 confldeut that we should here find, brought within the 

 comprehension of unscientifi* minds, the higher truths 

 of a science whose grandeur is lost to the common 

 people by the technicalities in which it is enshrined. 

 We have not been disappointed. We know of no 

 treatise on Astronomy to which we should turn for 

 an explanation of any of its elementary principles 

 with such confident assurance of receiving real salis- 

 fiiction, and none which we should so soon place in 

 the hands of a young person who desired an intro- 

 duction to this study.— Aet« Monthly Magazine. 



NEVIUS'S CHINA. China and the Chinese : 

 a General Description of the Country and its 

 Inhabitants; its CiviHzation and Form of 

 Government ; its Religious and Social Institu- 

 tions ; its Intercourse with other Nations ; and 

 its Present Condition and Prospects. By the 

 Rev. John L. Nevids, Ten Years a Mission- 

 arv in China. With a Map and Illustrations. 

 12ino, Cloth, $1 75. 



The great merit of the book seems to be that it un- 

 dertakes to tell, in a plain and practical manner, those 

 main things which intelligent people desire to learn 

 about ChiSa, its people, life, custom^ religious, etc., 

 .and does it without encumbering itself with overniuch 

 of detail or profundity. Reading it is much like hay- 

 ino- a series of talks with a Chinaman who is able 

 freely to answer all those questions which a curious 

 Yankee is prompted to ask about his nation, and who 

 does so. We incline to think it the best book yet 

 published in our language for giving a general de- 

 .«cription of China and its people, without being over- 

 burdened in any direction with details.— Congrega- 

 tionalist. . , . ^u 



When Mr. Nevius tells us about the fashions, the 

 ways of talking, shopping, teaching, tradiii-, praying, 

 eating, marrying, burying, gambling, reading, writing, 

 which he saw among them, he niake^ the scenes lile- 

 life ; the interests treated he makes altogether human : 

 and" so he leads us on in a path almost as entertaining 

 as a journey of our owu.— A". Y. Evening Post.
