Father Taylor, the Sailor Preacher.-By Rev. 
Gilbert Haven and Hon. J'uos. Russell. Bos¬ 
ton : 13. B. Russell. 
Tfje lifo'of this remarkable man, as told 
by his biographers, is more interesting than 
a romance. Father Taylor is known 
throughout the land as an earnest preacher, 
who. for more than half a century, labored 
among the soauum of Boston. He was an 
original wit, a preacher of great power, and 
the volume devoted to tho story of his life 
will be read by thousands with iutense in¬ 
terest. The work is piquant and tooth¬ 
some. made up of cont ributions from a large 
number of people who knew Mr. Taylor. 
HJines, mills nn«! Fnrnncesof the Pacific States 
ami Territories. Rv UossitkuW- Raymond, Ph. 
I). New York: J. B. Ford A Co. 
Those who know the works of this pro¬ 
fessional writer, are aware of their value. 
This large book contains a full and exhaust¬ 
ive account of the gold and silver mining of 
tho United States, descending even to mi¬ 
nute details. Tim work contains a line ac¬ 
count of tho stamp mill, and a general dis¬ 
cussion of smelting processes for silver ores. 
The book is technically accurate, and popu¬ 
larly Interesting. It makes a large, clearly 
printed 8vo. volume of 158 pages, and sells 
for £8.50. 
Public and Parlor Reading*: Prose and Poetry 
f'.r the use of reading clubs, and for public and 
social entertainment. Edited by Lewis 13. Mon¬ 
roe. Boston ; Loo & Shepard. 
This work has the merit of being modern, 
since it contains selections from the latest 
w citings of the authors of to-day. Tho book 
is large and handsome, contains 850 pages, 
and has much, which will please all readers. 
Many copyright selections have been used

Wild men nnd Wild Haunt* i Or, Scenes in Camp 
und Jungle. By la. Col. Gordon Gumming. New 
York : Clms. Scribner A Co. 
A book of wonderful interest to all young 
folks, full of romantic accounts of hunting 
expeditions in India. We have seen many 
of the horns, skulls and hides of the animals 
killed by Mr. Ci mming, and we have good 
reason to believe that ull he writes Is truth¬ 
ful. The book is profusely illustrated and 
handsomely printed. It cannot fail to in¬ 
terest old and young. 
Humll-pox s The Predisposing Conditions and thoir 
Prevention.—By Dr. Caul Born. Boston: Alex¬ 
ander Moore. 
The author of this little pamphlet has a 
theory in relation to the part common table 
salt plays in the human system, und on this 
he founds his belief in relation to small-pox. 
1L thinks a proper use of salt will put the 
system in a good condition to resist the 
disease. And he has a timely warning for 
those who use too much alcohol. Tf tho 
book will only promote temperance, it will 
do good. 
A round tlie World.-By E. 1). G. Prime. New 
York: Harper A Bros. 
A handsome volume of 450 pages, beiug 
au account of a trip Dr. Prime made not 
long ago. He writes in a pleasant way of 
many lands, and gives us a readable volume, 
if not so delightful as those from the pens 
of lion. S. 8. Cox and Mr. Brooks. Much 
of the work is devoted to China, Japan, and 
India, subjects of special interest at this 
time. 
The Conversion of St. Pnul: By George Jar¬ 
vis Geer, D. D., Rector of St. Timothy's Church. 
New York: Samuel U. Wells. 
Three sermons entitled, “Its Relation 
to Unbelief,” “ Its False Uses and True,” 
and " Its Relation to the Church,” comprise 
this volume. Mr. Geer has been a preacher 
of note for 25 years, and those who are in¬ 
terested in this subject will be pleased with 
the book he has produced. It makes a neat 
little volume of 82 pages. 
Notes — Explanatory and I’ractloal on the 
First Epistle i>» Paul In the Corinthians. 
By Albert Barnes. New York: Harper & Bros. 
A work so well and long known as this 
needs no introduction; it is a standard 
work, and this revised edition will commend 
itself to all who wish to study the Scrip¬ 
tures. The book appears in the usual form 
and style.
