NEW PTTBLIOATIONS. 
The Domestic Lite op Thomas Jef¬ 
ferson (New York: Harper & Brothers) 
] ia9 been prepared by his great grand¬ 
daughter, Sarah N. Randolph, from fam¬ 
ily letters and reminiscences. It is pre¬ 
pared, uot to prove his greatness, nor his 
statesmanship, but to give a faithful picture 
0 f him as he was in private life. The 
authoress says:—“ I am well aware that the 
tale of Jefferson’9 life, both public and pri¬ 
vate, has been well told by the most faithful 
of biographers in Randall’s (Henry 8.) 
Life of Jefferson, and that much ot what is 
contained in these pages will he found in 
that admirable work, which, from the 
author’s zealous devotion to truth, and his 
indefatigable industry in collecting his 
materials, must ever stand chief among the 
most valuable contributions to American 
history.” We quote the foregoing graceful 
tribute to our associate because it does us 
good to do so. But the volume is a bird’s 
eye view of Jefferson's whole career. It 
contains an engraved portrait- from a paint¬ 
ing by John Gilbert; a view of his home, 
Monticello, near Chariotlsvjllc, Va.; a por¬ 
trait of Martha Jefferson Randolph, his 
wife, etc., etc. Copious extracts from cor¬ 
respondence are given. The hook will in¬ 
terest all who revere the name of Thomas 
Jefferson. 
Animal Plagues —Their History Nature 
and Prevention, hy George Fleming, F. 
R. G S,, (London: Chapman & Hall) t3 a 
most formidable volume full of historical de¬ 
ntils that will both Interest and profit all 
who are directly or indirectly interested in 
the management or treatment of live stock. 
These historical references date from 1490 
B C., and trace not only the history of cat¬ 
tle disease but the origin ami history of 
veterinary and the progress of medical science 
and of comparative pathology. The increas¬ 
ing need for well educated, skillful veterinary 
surgeons is so manifest that it seems to ns 
strange that the field is so inadequately oc- 
cupii 1 while other professions overflow With 
neophytes fresh fl*om the schools. And the 
scanning we have given this work suggests 
bow vast and honorable, interesting ami prof¬ 
itable is the field of investigation which is 
open to and constantly widening before the 
conscientious student and practitioner in this 
field of science. This work ought to go into 
every school library in the land and into the 
bands of every student of animal diseases. 
Harper’s Hand-Book for Travelers 
in Europe and the East— Being a guide 
through Great Britain, France, Belgium, 
Holland, Germany, Italy, Egypt, Syria, 
Turkey, Greece, Switzerland, Tyrol, Spain, 
Russia, Denmark and Sweden: by \V. Kem- 
buoke Fetridge— with numerous maps 
and illustrations. This is the tenth year’s 
issue of a very useful and popular work, and 
one which must he an indispensable guide 
to any American going abroad. Its 755 
double column pages contain a vast amount 
of instruction and information for travelers 
not elsewhere obtainable in a single volume, 
or such compact, available form. The work 
is issued in the best style of the Harper’s, 
and its excellent binding or case—of flexible 
leather, in pocket-book style—adds to its 
value. No one of the thousands of our 
people who annually visit Europe should 
start without a copy of this hand-book, 
which is truly “ Thu American Traveler’s 
Guide.” 
A Valuable Cat.alogue of School 
Books.—T he well known Educational pub¬ 
lishers, Messrs, Ivison, Blakeinan, Taylor & 
Co.,have just issued a new “Descriptive 
Catalogue of the American Educational Se¬ 
ries of School and Collegiate Text-Books.” 
It is a beautiful specimen of typography, 
and deserves special commendation for its 
admirable arrangement and for its conve¬ 
nient shape and size. We are glad to see 
that the works published by Messrs. Ivison 
& Co. maintain their extensive popularity, 
and that many of them arc rapidly gaining 
in circulation. Sanders' Spellers and Read¬ 
ers, Robinson’s Mathematics, Kerl’s Gram¬ 
mars, Spencerian Copy Books, Webster’s 
Dictionaries, Gray’s Botany, Wells’ Scien¬ 
tific Series, ifce., &c., have a national reputa¬ 
tion which is as deserving as it is wide. We 
advise our educational friends to send for 
the new Catalogue. It should be in the 
hands of every person who has any connec¬ 
tion with our schools. 
History of Frederick the Great, by 
. on\ s. C. Abbott (New York: Harper 
Brothers,) is a most interesting, profusely 
hi istiated and attractive volume. Here is 
^ '°buutf of about 600 pages, prepared with 
m - avowed purpose of giving a clear and 
c ' ,u ' :cl him of his public and private chap¬ 
iter and of bis career. It is, in one sense, 
ll . Ca ®P®Dd of Carlyle’s six volumes on 
UL Same subject, yet with no adherence to 
that work in text or statement. It is most 
graphically written, is full of incident, and 
reads like a novel, yet we arc assured that 
the statements of fact contained in it are be¬ 
yond all contradiction. 
Sir Walter Scott: The Story of his 
Life—by R. Shelton Mackenzie. (Bos¬ 
ton : Jus. R. Osgood & Co.—pp. 488.) Writ¬ 
ten by one every way competent, and ap¬ 
pealing so soon after the Centenary of the 
great novelist,(so generally celebrated in bot h 
t his country and Europe,) this volume is most 
timely, and will at once attract wide atten¬ 
tion. Though less bulky than Lockhart’s 
work, this biography is sufficiently full, while 
its style and freshness—and the fact that it 
embraces many incidents and anecdotes not 
given in other lives of the eminent author— 
must render it popular with the reading 
public. The admirers of Scott will peruse 
tbis most readable, and evidently reliable 
and impartial memoir hy his gifted country¬ 
man with avidity and pleasure. The vol¬ 
ume is issued in excellent slyle, the steel 
and other engravings adding to its beauty 
and value. 
The Modern Practical Angler is an 
English publication by IT Ciiolmondeley- 
Prnnell, Inspector of Fisheries, and placed

flights, loads, swivels, lines and reels, rods, 
flies, fly fishing, trout flies, worm fishing, 
minnow spinning for trout, while trout, fish¬ 
ing, grayling and salmon fishing, trolling 
baits, baiting, <ftc , &c. Of course it is espe¬ 
cially adapted to the wants of English 
sportsmen; but American anglers will find 
suggestions of interest in it. 
Curiosities of the Law Reporters, bv 
Franklin Fiske Heard, (New York: Lee, 
Shepard & Dillingham,) is a collection of 
curious extracts from the decisions of judges, 
the opinions of eminent jurists, and anec¬ 
dotes illustrative of the singular manner in 
which law is made to subserve persoq|^piir- 
posos, &o., &e. It. is not an uninteresting 
work for the general reader, but must he of 
especial interest to the legal profession.
