Elements of Morality and Polity. BY WILLIAM WHEWELL, D.D., AUTHOR OF "HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE INDUCTIVE SCIENCES," &c. 2 vols. 12mo, Muslin, extra gilt, $1 00. Dr. Whewell's work ought to be read, because it can not be read without advantage: the age requires such books.--_London Athenaeum._ A text-book of simple truths, from which, by induction, a complete system of morality is constructed, applicable to all the relations and circumstances of life, and embracing every department of human action. The reader who shall carefully study these volumes--and a more inviting page, clear and legible, the eye does not often rest upon--will find his labor more than rewarded.--_New York Commercial Advertiser._ Professor Whewell's "Elements of Morality" have been universally received in England as a contribution of rare value to the department of moral and political science.--_Baltimore American._ A splendid production by one of the most distinguished of the scientific men of the age.

The Philosophy of Mystery. BY WALTER COOPER DENDY. 12mo, Muslin, extra gilt, 50 cents. This is a learned and elaborate work, in which the writer goes into the investigation of all the phenomena of mind in the erratic operations and phantasies of ghost seeing and spectral hallucinations, and aims to give the t
