82 THE STOCK RAISER'S MANUAL. A Guide to the Raising and Improvment of Cattle, being a Treatise on their Breeds, Management, and Diseases. By W. Youalt, author of a " Trea- tise on the Horse," with numerous illustrations. Complete in 1 vol. 8vo. This work will be found of the greatest importance to farmers and C3ttle raisers throughout the United States, and should be in the possession of every farmer, as it is the most complete work on this subject ever published. M'MAHON'S AMERICAN GARDENER. Ninth edition, much improved. In 1 vol. 8vo. This is an invaluable work to all who wish to obtain any information on the sub- ject of Gardening in all its various branches. GRIGG, ELLIOT & CO'S RURAL REGISTER AND ALMANAC For 1848: to be continued Annually. For farmers and gardeners it is invaluable, givjng full directions for all their work for every month in the year, and for all the States in the Union. There is no work ever published that contains so much useful and valuable information in so cheap and convenient a form ; and we do say that no farmer or gardener, who ia worth a "bit," should be without one. There is no pursuit in which more real rational enjoyment and comfort will follow to an industrious man than Horticul- tural employments. BOOK OF POLITENESS. The Gentleman and Lady's Book of Politeness and Propriety of Deport- ment. Dedicated to the Youth of both sexes. By Madame Celnart Translated from the Sixth Paris edition, enlarged and improved. Fifth American edition. THE BEAUTIES OF HISTORY. Or, Examples of the Opposite Effects of Virtue and Vice, for the use of Families. 1 vol. 12mo., with plates. "After a careful examination of this book, we can conscientiously recommend it to parents and teachers as a most meritorious performance. There are here collected, within a narrow compass, the most striking examples of individual virtue and vice which are spread forth on the pages of history, or are recorded in per- sonal biography. The noblest precepts are recommended for the guidance of youth ; and in the most impressive manner is he taught to conquer the degrading impulses which lower the standard of the human character. We have not lately met with a volume which, in design and execution, seemed so acceptable as this. The book, moreover, is handsomely got up, and illustrated with wood engrav- ings." THE CLERGYMAN'S ASSISTANT. Or, Guide in Reading the Liturgy; containing Directions for Reading Cor- rectly with the Pronunciation. By Rev. W. H. Odenheimer, of Phila- delphia. 1 vol. 12mo., cloth. d
