for bestowing light upon mortals. Through Oahspe we learn why the Chinese became Confucians, why the Hindoos became Brahmins and Buddhists, and why the western migratory people became Jews and Christians. In Oahspe we find the necessity for this revelation, which provides for the fellowship of all peoples. It is also the only Bible that reveals the affairs of the angels of heaven, what they do, how they live and travel, and the parts that many of them play with mortals; in fact, it reveals to us a heaven worth living for."-Note by the Publishers.

Peyton (J. L.)-History of Augusta County, Va. 8vo. cloth, pp. 394. Staunton (Va.). £1 1s.

"A strong wish to preserve, in a permanent form, a record of the past, that it may no longer be clouded by ignorance nor perplexed by fiction; to rescue from unmerited oblivion the memories of our founders, whose heir we are, with respect to civil and religious laws, language, science and territory; to keep alive in their descendants a love and veneration for their memories and a spirit of patriotism, has been the chief incentive to this work." With these views the writer has undertaken the task of preparing a history of his native county. In the scope of his design he could only aim at a brief sketch or outline of the subject previous to 1790, when the county assumed its present confines. He has endeavoured to exhibit the principal events which belong to the history of the valley and the western country. At the close of several chapters, anecdotes, incidents related by living persons, genealogical memoranda, extracts from public records, original deeds, etc., have been inserted.

of nature, and breathe of the woods and fields. They were written
by a young author, between seventeen and twenty years of age-some
of them amid the duties of school life in the city, but many of them
in vacation days, among the woods and hills near the old Waverley
Oaks in Waltham. Their collection in permanent form has been ad-
vised by the editors of the publications in which they have appeared.”

These letters, originally published in the Boston "Daily Evening

tion it offers relative to safety and comfort in excursions on shore or
on the Nile.

cloth, pp. 454. New York. 15s.

Mr. George F. Williams, now one of the managing editors of the
New York Herald, had a varied experience during the late war as an
officer and a newspaper correspondent; these experiences he has
utilized in "Bullet and Shell," by sketches true to life of the "camp,
the march, picket, battle-field, and bivouac"; the book is written
without prejudice or passion and under the guise of fiction, and
includes the events of the memorable years 1861-65; in order to
preserve the unity of the narrative, he has taken an author's license
in carrying the same regiment through the several campaigns, from
Big Bethel to Appomattox Hollow.
