Californin 1 for Health, Ptnnanro untl Residence. 
A book for Travelers n nd Settlors.—Hy ciiahles 
N ottnilGPr. New York: Harper & Brothers. 
Less than a year ago Mr. Nohdhoff 
made a tonr of California, writing articles 
for Harper’s Magazine, tho Tribune and 
the Post. The large and handsome volume 
before us is a result of this tour; a splendid 
volume of 266 broad pages, illustrated with 
58 line engravings of natural scenery. Mr. 
Nordiioff’s style is smooth and easy—liis 
book reads like a charming story, and is 
filled with facts of all sorts gleaned by the 
way. He was delighted with everything 
he saw in California; its people, climate, 
productions and resources. Like a true 
newspaper man he knov;s how to write for 
the public. Travelers and settlers will 
find this book to bo valuable in more senses 
than one. He writes of farming, semi- 
tropical fruits, wheat, cheap farms for the 
million, irrigation, beet-sugar, silk, wine¬ 
growing, sheep-farming, cattle ranchos, etc. 
These are subjects of interest to all of our 
readers. ____ 
The Polytechnic: A Collection of Music for 
Schools, Clii-ses and Clubs. — Now V'ork : .1. W. 
Sohermei'hnrii Co. 
We take it as a good thing, and a help to 
several other good things, that so much at¬ 
tention is now paid to musical culture. For 
school uso there hat been much music pub¬ 
lished that was of little use except in 
schools, but this very beautiful book seems 
to be adapted for use in the family quite as 
well as in the school. It, has many operatic 
selections, the words adapted to wfcleh have 
been carefully edited, a selection of college 
songs, and a small selection of snored music 
—making altogether the fullest and hand¬ 
somest book of school music we have lately 
seen. _ 
The A theunpinii: A Collection of Part Sonus for 
J.miles Voices.— New Vork: .1. W. Hchcrmerhorn 
& Co. 
Made up of music of a more elaborate 
style than the preceding book, it lias the 
same typographic beauty, and equal care 
and taste in selection and harmonizing. It 
will be a favorite in tho social oircle and 
the concert room, for several of the more 
beautiful pieces are not easily accessible 
elsewhere. 
Wonders of the illoou. Translated from iln; 
Crouch of Arm'duo tiuilleniln. Edited by Prof. 
Marin Mitchell of Vassar College, N. V. Now 
Vork : Scribner, A rmmrong & Co. 
We regard this as one of the most inter¬ 
esting volumes of the illustrated library of 
wonders yet issued. The book is well 
adapted for popular reading, issuieutifle in 
its facts, and beautifully illustrated. The 
enigma of tho celestial sphinx is solved in 
this volume, and those who would conquer 
the moon should read it. Miss M (TOTeel 
has edited the book with ability, explaining 
ail difficult points. 
The l.nnrcnri 1 Speaker. A selection of Idtora- 
ry Gems in poetry mid prose. By Pmi.IP I.AW- 
UENCli. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson X Broth¬ 
ers. Price , 
A EAitoE, handsome volume of (KM) pages, 
containing the finest productions of au¬ 
thors known to fame. The selections range 
from Siiakkpeaue to Theodore Tu/ro.v 
and Bret Haute. All students who have 
occasion to declaim will find what they 
seek in this volume. 
The Gift of the Knees; or, the Ministry of Prayer 
the Ministry of Power. -American Tract Society. 
The subject of ITayer, since Prof. Tyn¬ 
dall's proposed “ Prayer Gauge,” is ex¬ 
citing some attention. This book attempts 
to exalt the mission of prayer and its pow¬ 
er, as a vital every-day necessity. It con¬ 
tains three good religious tales about 
prayer. __' 
The Outcast; and other poem.;,.-By I.W. Wat¬ 
son. Philmlelpliia: '1', B. Peterson & Brothers. 
The volume before us is a beautiful one, 
in morocco cloth, gilt; price $2. Mr. Wat¬ 
son is an earnest, pathetic writer and claims 
to have written a popular poem called 
11 Beautiful Snow." Many readers will find 
much which is pleasing in this volume. 
Spnni-h ^cIl'-Tniurhl. By Fjianz Thim.m. New 
York: Dink A Fitzgerald. 
A handsome 25 cent pamphlet, of 80 
pages, on a now system of tho most simple 
principles. The book is for universal self- 
tuition, and we judge it to lie as good a 
hand-book of the language as any published. 
The Lady of Lyndon.—By I.aiiv Bi.akk. Bos¬ 
ton : Jas. K. Osgood. 1872. 
A love story of English life, in which 
Lords and Ladies figure. It is written 
with freedom and ease, and will interest 
the lovers of light fiction.
