THE LIFE OF WICLIF. By Charles Webb Le Bas, A. M. 
18mo. With a Portrait. 
The object of the author has been to produce, within a reasonable compass, the 
substance of the information wlaich has been preserved to us relative to this very ex- 
traordinary man, — a man whose strength of character made an impression on the 
mind of his country which- has never been effaced. The volume embraces, it is 
believed, all the important information contained m the works of Vaughan, Fox, 
Lewis, James, and other writers on the subject, and is certainly among the first 
specimens of beautiful composition in the English language. 
LUTHER AND THE LUTHERAN REFORMATION. By 
John Scott, A. M. In 2 vols. 18mo. With Portraits. 
This work is designed to present, in a more popular and convenient form, the sub- 
stance of the information collected by Milner and others relative to the most remark- 
able period, and the most important event, which has occurred in the Hstory of the 
chprch since the apostles' days. To exhibit an account of " the blessed Reforma- 
tion" which may be deemed just and adequate, which may show what the Reformers 
really contended for, and in what spirit and for what reasons they contended for it, 
and which, at the same time, may prove attractive to the public, must be judged an 
object highly seasonable and of great consequence. Such a work. Mr. Scott has 
supplied. ■' 
THE LIFE OF ARCHBISHOP CRANMER. By Charles 
Webb Le Bas, A. M. In 2 vols. 18rao. With a Portrait. 
Mr. Le Bas has collected into a compendious and interestmg narrative the sub- 
stance of more voluminous compilations ; and has presented to the public a work, ele- 
gantly written, which will enable them duly to estimate their obligations to the great 
master-builder of the Protestant Church of England. 
LIVES AND VOYAGES OF DRAKE, CAVENDISH, AND 
DAMPIER ; including an Introductory View of the earlier Discoveries in the 
South Sea, and the History of the Bucaniers. IBmo. With Portraits. 
The relation of the voyages, discoveries, and adventures of early and celebrated 
English navigators is, in so far, a Mstory of the rise of her naval power. In this 
volume are contained the Uves of three of the most eminent ; and, from the very 
nature of the subject, it presents much curious and valuable information, gleaned 
from many sources, and m every instance verified by scrupulous examination and 
reference to original documents. Early Spanish Discovery in the South Seas, and 
the first circumnavigation of the globe by Magellan, form a subordinate but appro- 
priate branclr of the work; and the subject is completed by the History of the 
Bucaniers, — those daring rovers whose wild adventures afford so much to charm 
the youthful mind, and form one of the most interesting chapters in the annals of 
maritime enterprise and adventure. 
SKETCHES OF THE LIVES OF DISTINGUISHED FE- 
MALES. Written for Girls, with a view to their Mental and Moral Improve- 
ment. By an American Lady. ISmo. With a Portrait, &c. 
As example acts more forcibly upon female youth than on the other sex, it is pecu- 
liarly important that the biography which is placed in the hands of young females 
should be either carefully selected, so as to give them no examples but those that are 
unexceptionable, or else that it should be accompanied by such remarks as will 
enable them to discriminate between the excellences to be imitated and the eccen- 
tricities to be avoided. With such views these sketches have been prepared. They 
will be found peculiarly instructive, and are written in a style which cannot fail to in- 
terest. The volume is embellished with a portrait of Mrs. Judson, &c., and em- 
braces biographical sketches of several of the most distinguished females of our own 
country.
