VALUABLE WORKS.

THE HALLIG; OR, THE SHEEPFOLD IN THE WATERS. A Tale of Humble Life on
the Coast of Schleswig. Translated from the German of Biernatzski, by
Mrs. GEORGE P. MARSH. With a Biographical Sketch of the Author. 12mo.
cloth. $1.00.

The author of this work was the grandson of an exiled Polish
nobleman. His own portrait is understood to be drawn in one of the
characters of the Tale, and indeed the whole work has a substantial
foundation in fact. In Germany it has passed through several
editions, and is there regarded as the chef-d'oeuvre of the
author. As a revelation of an entire new phase of human society, it
will strongly remind the reader of Miss Bremer's tales. In
originality and brilliancy of imagination, it is not inferior
those;--its aim is far higher. The elegance of Mrs. Marsh's
translation will at once arrest the attention of every competent
judge.

HON. ROBERT C. WINTHROP. "I have read it with deep interest. Mrs.
Marsh has given us an admirable version of a most striking and
powerful work."

FROM PROF. F.D. HUNTINGTON, D.D., IN THE RELIGIOUS MAGAZINE.
"Wherever the work goes it fascinates the cultivated and the
illiterate, the young and the old, the devout and the careless. Our
own copy is in brisk circulation. The vivid and eloquent
description of the strange scenery, the thrilling accounts of the
mysterious action of the waters and vapors of the Schleswig coast,
&c., all form a story of uncommon attractions and unmingled
excellence."

DR. SPRAGUE IN ALBANY SPECTATOR. "A rare and beautiful work. It is
an interesting contribution to the physical geography of a part of
Europe lying quite beyond the reach of ordinary observation, and as
a genial and faithful sketch of human life under conditions which
are hardly paralleled elsewhere."

The tale is a novel one, containing thrilling scenes, as well as
religious teachings.--PRESBYTERIAN.

A beautiful and exquisite natural tale. In novelty of life and
customs, as well as in nicely drawn shades of local and personal
character the Hallig, is equalled by very few works of
