From the PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION, New York, through A. HART, Philadelphia:—­

THE OLD MAN’S HOME.  By the Rev. William Adams, M.A., author of the “Shadow of the Cross,” &c.  With engravings, from designs by Weir.  Sixth American edition.  An affecting tale, written in a familiar style, and peculiarly calculated to impress upon the youthful mind the importance of those moral and religious truths which it is the aim of the author to inculcate.

From GOULD, KENDALL & LINCOLN, Boston, through DANIELS & SMITH, Philadelphia:—­

THE PRE-ADAMITE EARTH:  Contributions to Theological Science.  By John Harris, D.D., author of “The Great Teacher,” &c.  The present volume is the “third thousand,” which we presume to mean the “third edition,” revised and corrected, of this work, which may be considered a successful effort to reconcile the dogmas of theology with the progress of philosophy and science.  The style of the author is argumentative and eloquent, evincing great knowledge and zeal in the development of the interesting subjects connected with his treatise.

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS:  Discourses on the Development of the Christian Character.  By William R. Williams.  Comprising five lectures originally prepared for the pulpit, and delivered by their author to the people under his charge.  These lectures are chaste and graceful in style, and sound and vigorous in argument.

From TICKNOR, REED & FIELDS, Boston.

BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS.  By Thomas De Quincey, author of “Confessions of an English Opium Eater,” etc.  This is the second volume of Mr. De Quincey’s writings, now in course of publication.  It contains biographical sketches of Shakspeare, Pope, Charles Lamb, Goethe, and Schiller, accompanied by numerous notes, which, with the author’s acknowledged taste, will give a new interest to these almost familiar subjects.

ASTRAEA. The Balance of Illusions. A poem delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Yale College, August 14, 1850, by Oliver Wendell Holmes.  This poem contains many beautiful gems, interspersed with some satirical descriptions of men and manners, which prove Mr. Holmes to be a caustic as well as an amusing writer.
