The story, which is deeply thrilling, is exclusively
religious.--CH. SECRETARY.
Here we have another such book as makes the reading of it a luxury,
even in hot summer weather. It takes us to an island home, in the
chill regions of the North Sea, and introduces us to pastoral
scenes as lively and as edifying as those of Oberlin, in the Ban de
la Roche.--SOUTHERN BAP.
THE CAMEL: His Organization, Habits and Uses, considered with reference
to his Introduction into the United States. BY GEORGE P. MARSH, late U.
S. Minister at Constantinople. 16mo, cloth. 75 cents.
This book treats of a subject of great interest, especially at the
present time. It furnishes the only complete and reliable account
of the Camel in the language. It is the result of extensive
research and personal observation, and it has been prepared with
special reference to the experiment now being made by our
Government, of domesticating the Camel in this country.
A repository of interesting information respecting the Camel. The
author collected the principal materials for his work during his
residence and travels for some years in the East. He describes the
species, size, color, temper, longevity, useful products, diet,
powers, training and speed of the Camel, and treats of his
introduction into the United States.--PHIL. CHRISTIAN OBSERVER.
This is a most interesting book, on several accounts. The subject
is full of romance and information; the treatment is able and
thorough.--TEXAS CH. ADVOCATE.
Our Government have taken measures for introducing the Camel into
this country, and an appropriation of $30,000 has been made by
Congress. It becomes a matter of practical importance, therefore,
to obtain the fullest and most reliable information possible
respecting the animal and his adaptation to this country. His
advent among us will stimulate general curiosity, and raise a
thousand questions respecting his character and habits of life, his
powers of endurance, his food, his speed, his length of life, his
fecundity, the methods of managing and using him, the cost of
keeping him, the value of his carcass after death, &c. This work
furnishes, in a small compass, all the desired information.--BOSTON
ATLAS.
