d applies it as the guide of the life."--_London Inquirer._ SELF-FORMATION; or the History of an Individual Mind: Intended as a Guide for the Intellect through Difficulties to Success. By a Fellow of a College. 12mo. pp. 504. Price, $1.00. "The publishers have done good service by bringing forward an American edition of this work. It may be most unreservedly recommended, especially to the young."--_Daily Advertiser._ "Your gift of 'Self-Formation' is truly a welcome one, and I am greatly obliged to you for it.

"The sense of duty in parents and teachers may be strengthened and elevated by contemplating the high standard which is here held up to them. The style has the great merit of being an earnest one, and there are many passages which rise into genuine eloquence and the glow of poetry."--_N.A.
