Chapter III: Part 3

_World_ is our planet viewed from the “moral or abstract point
of view.” _The world_ refers, therefore, almost always to its
inhabitants. _Earth_ is our planet with reference to its external or
material formation or aspect. _Globe_ is our planet in a geological
sense chiefly. _Globe_ is often used in poetry for _world_ or
_earth_. [“The bodies revolving round the sun are the following:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,” &c. “When we look abroad upon the world
and see its wickedness, we are lost in wonder at man’s depravity.”
“Who can say how many ages have been required for the formation of
the crust of the globe!”]

_Wholly_, _totally_ [with expressions denoting deprivation or loss].

_Wholly_ lays stress upon the condition of the person deprived;
_totally_, upon the thing of which he has been deprived. [“He is
wholly blind.” “His sight is totally gone.”]

PREFER.

_Prefer_:

Approve _to_ approve of. [“To shew thyself approved unto God.”]

Agriculturist _to_ agriculturalist.

Aside _to_ apart. [“He took me aside.”] _Apart_ means _to pieces_, as, “He took the clock apart.”

Alone _to_ only, as much as possible.

Arise _to_ rise, in a figurative or secondary sense. [“Greece arose from her ashes.”]

Advance _to_ progress [as verb]. _Progress_ is not properly formed from the Latin root.

Acquaintanceship _to_ acquaintance, as an abstract noun. Reserve _acquaintance_ for persons or things one is acquainted with.

Begin _to_ initiate. _Initiate_ may very properly be used in the sense of, to induct into a position or introduce to a society.

Begin _to_ commence.

Become _to_ grow, denoting a change of condition. [“He becomes rich and wise.”]

Believe _to_ think. [“I believe it is so.”]

Body [dead], or corpse, _to_ the remains.

Buy _to_ purchase.

Coffin _to_ casket.

Cannot but _to_ can but. [“I cannot but tell what I know.”] There is an ellipsis in all such expressions: “I cannot do anything but (_i.e._, except) tell what” &c.

Come into collision _to_ collide.

Correct or in the right _to_ right, when correctness, and not uprightness, is meant, _E.g._: “I am correct in my statistics.”

Converser or conversationist _to_ conversationalist.

Controverter, or controversionist, _to_ controversionalist.

Church _to_ sanctuary.

Contend against, oppose, be at variance with, _to_ militate against.

Corpulent, heavy, fat, _to_ fleshy [of persons].

Deadly _to_ lethal.

Dwell, or live, _to_ reside.

Exponental _to_ exponential.

Earthen, golden, &c., _to_ earth, gold, &c. [as adjectives]. _E.g._: “An earthen jar.”

Enlarge on [or, upon] _to_ dilate on [or, upon].

Foregoing _to_ above, as an adjective. [“The foregoing statement is correct.”]

Factory _to_ manufactory.

Forbid _to_ prohibit.

Forward, backward, toward, &c., _to_ forwards, backwards, towards, &c.

Graceful _to_ elegant, when speaking of the body and its movements.

Hebrew _to_ Jew, when speaking of race.

House _to_ residence.

Incorrect, or in the wrong, _to_ wrong, when incorrectness, and not unrighteousness, is meant.

Iced-water, iced-cream, &c., _to_ ice-water, ice-cream, &c.

Inform _to_ advise [in letters &c.] _Advise_ has a double meaning; _inform_ has not.

Kinsman, kinswoman, _to_ relative, relation.

Last two weeks, last six months, &c., _to_ past two weeks, past six months, &c.

Lenity, or lenience, _to_ leniency.

Loose _to_ unloose.

Land _to_ real estate.

Leading article, or leader, _to_ editorial.

Lengthwise, sidewise, &c., _to_ lengthways, sideways, &c.

The morrow _to_ to-morrow [as noun]. _E.g._: “The morrow will suit me.”

The months by name _to_ ult., prox., inst.

Much _to_ a great deal.

Muscular _to_ stout. [_Stout_ is somewhat ambiguous, meaning both _strong_ and _corpulent_.]

One to [or, with] another _to_ among themselves. _E.g._: “They divided the money one with another.”

Oneself _to_ one’s self.

Oversee _to_ supervise.

Offensive _to_ obnoxious.

Ordinal numbers _to_ cardinal numbers in the heading of letters. Write _March 24th_, or _March the 24th_, rather than _March 24_.

Rich _to_ wealthy.

Railway _to_ railroad.

Seeming _to_ apparent.

Self-same _to_ identical.

Say _to_ remark, or observe. [_To remark_ and _to observe_ mean _to notice_.]

Station _to_ depot [or dépôt].

Sympathy _to_ pity, when speaking of or to equals.

Truthfulness _to_ veracity. [_Veracity_ should be used of persons only.]

Tangental _to_ tangential.

Thus _to_ so. [“He does it _thus_.”]

Unexpressed _to_ understood. [_Understood_ has two meanings.]

Violoncello _to_ violincello. [The instrument is a large, not a small, violin.]

Various, or diverse, _to_ different. [_Different_ should be confined to the meaning of _differing from_.]

Vacant _to_ empty, of buildings no longer inhabited.

Wast _to_ wert, in the second person singular, past indicative. [_Wert_ is the subjunctive, but it is not incorrect in the indicative.]

Would rather, or should rather, _to_ had rather. [_Had rather_ is not incorrect, but _would rather_ or _should rather_ is preferable. All these forms ought to be used as little as possible. Choose some other expression.]

With reference to _to_ in reference to. [We never say, _out of reference to_, but always, _without reference to_.]

In general, prefer _short_ words and phrases to _long_ words and phrases, and words of Anglo-Saxon, to those of non-Anglo-Saxon, origin.

OBJECTIONABLE WORDS AND PHRASES.

A day or two, a man or two, &c. [Say, _two or three days_, _a few days_; _two or three men_, _a few men_; &c. There is lack of agreement in _a day or two_, _a man or two_. A somewhat similar error occurs in, “With this, as with many other matters.” The expression should be: “With this, as with many another matter.”]

Authoress, poetess, &c. [Such words may be used if the gender is to be pointed out. Otherwise, the ordinary forms--_author_, _poet_, &c.--are sufficient]

Accountable, unaccountable.

Answerable, unanswerable.

Antagonize.

Aborigene [in the singular].

A bit [_at all_, _a little_; as: “I am a bit tired”], not a bit [_not at all_].

Confirmed invalid.

Cablegram. [Use _telegram_ or _telegraphic message_.]

Down East, down South. [Say: “I am going to the South.” “I live in the East.” “He practised at the South.”]

Desirability and undesirability.

Direful. [This word is not properly formed, as _dire_ is not a noun.]

Defalcate and defalcation [in the sense of _making default_]. _Defalcate_, correctly used, is _to cut off_ or _lop off_.

Desiderate [for _desire_].

Deceased [for _the late_, _the dead one_, &c.], except in legal and other formal expressions.

Every once in a while. [Say, _once in a while_, _sometimes_, _frequently_.]

Electropathy, hydropathy, &c. [_Pathein_ is, to suffer; not, to cure.]

Effectuate.

Enjoy oneself. [Say, “I enjoyed the concert;” not, “I enjoyed myself at the concert.”]

Eventuate.

Environment. [Use _surroundings_.]

Emasculate.

Go ahead.

Help [in the sense of _to avoid_]. Say: “I cannot avoid doing so;” not, “I cannot help doing so.”

Have got [for _have_]. _Get_ is generally superfluous, and should be used as little as possible.

Impute. [Use _ascribe_.]

Ignore.

Lose oneself. [Say, “He was lost--or became lost--or lost his way--in the wood.”]

Line of goods.

Lots [for _much_ or _many_].

Malaprop. [Use _mal-à-propos_; _unsuitable_, _unseasonable_, or the corresponding adverbs.]

More guilty, most guilty; less guilty, least guilty. [One is either _guilty_ or _not guilty_, of a crime; although one may be guilty of a greater or a less crime. A similar remark applies to _guiltless_ and _innocent_. These adjectives should properly be used of individual acts only.]

Necessitate.

Opine.

Out West. [Say: “He goes West (or, to the West).” “I live in the West (or, at the West).”]

Out of [for _of_, with names of materials]. Say: “The box is made _of_ [not, _out of_] wood.”

Ponder over. [Use _ponder_ alone.]

Practitioner. [This word is incorrectly formed.]

Presidential. [The adjective--if formed at all--ought to be _presidental_. _Presidential campaign_ is a very inelegant and ill-constructed expression.]

Proven [for _proved_]. _Gotten_ maybe used for _got_; but not _proven_ for _proved_.

Particle [_a little_ or _somewhat_], not a particle [_not at all_].

Rostrum [for _platform_, _pulpit_]. If any form of this word is to be used, it should be the plural, _rostra_.

Rehabilitate [for _reïnstate_].

Recuperate [for _recover_].

Right off.

Right away.

Reliable, unreliable. [Use _trustworthy_, _untrustworthy_.]

Repudiate. [Use _condemn_ or _disown_.]

Spread [in the sense of _meal_, _feast_, _banquet_].

Suicide, as a verb. [Say, _commit suicide_.]

Scientist. [Use _scientific man_, _savant_, &c. If a noun with this meaning is to be formed from _science_, it ought to be _sciencist_, not _scientist_.]

Stump, in the sense of _platform_; as: “He took the stump.”

Seeming paradox. [A _paradox_ is a seeming contradiction. _Seeming paradox_ is, therefore, tautological.]

Tiresome. [Use _wearisome_ or _tedious_. _Tiresome_ is incorrectly formed, _tire_ not being a noun.]

That much, that little, [for _so much_, _so little_, or _as much as that_, _as little as that_].

Up North. [Say: “I live at (or in) the North.” “He goes to the North.”]

Voice [as a verb]. Say: “He expressed--or gave expression to--the sentiments of his followers;” not, “He voiced,” &c.

Yours, ours, mine, &c., [for _your_, _our_, _my_, _&c._, _letter_]. Say: “I have received your letter of yesterday;” not, “I have received yours of yesterday.”

NOTES ON PUNCTUATION.

Use a _comma_ before _or_ when the expressions between which it occurs, refer to the same person or thing. Thus: “Jones or Smith was here” [no comma]; but: “Saul, or Paul” [comma].

Put a _comma_ after a proposition forming the subject of a verb. So: “That he did so, is not clear.”

When an infinitive is the subject of a verb, and follows the verb, a _comma_ is generally inserted before the infinitive. This is especially the case if the infinitive or the verb has other words depending upon it. So write: “It ill becomes great and good men, to smile at sin.”

Use no commas after short and closely-connected adjectives qualifying the same noun. Thus: “A good old sound dry wine.”

Use a _comma_ before a quotation closely dependent upon such introductory words as _say_, _tell_, _cry_. _E.g._: “The man said, I will return.” [With such quotations--especially if short--the quotation marks are generally omitted.] Before a direct quotation, _i.e._, one not closely dependent upon introductory words (_say_, _will_, _cry_, &c.), insert the _colon_. [When the quotation is poetry, a _dash_ often follows the colon, especially if a space is left at the end of the line.]

As a general rule, the subject of a verb must be expressed in every clause preceded by a _semi-colon_. If, however, there are several clauses or phrases marked off by semi-colons, to avoid repetition the subjects may be omitted. [The subject of a verb may, of course, be understood before a _comma_.]

A short and serviceable rule for the use of the _comma_ in relative clauses, and in participial, adjectival and adverbial phrases, is, to insert it when the clauses and phrases are _coördinate_, but not when they are _restrictive_. _E.g._: “The things which are seen are temporal.” “He was a man known in three continents.” [No commas.] “The king, who was now old, declared for war.” “His brother, known far and wide, was present.” [Commas.] Where the subject of the verb is a phrase greatly lengthened by adjuncts, a _comma_ will be required before the verb. _E.g._: “The fact of his having acted in so strange a way, warranted his detention.”

Use a _semi-colon_, and not a comma, in the following cases:

(1). Before reasons. _E.g._: “Economy is no disgrace; for it” &c.

(2). Between two opposing clauses, when an adversative conjunction
introduces the second clause. _E.g._: “Straws swim at the surface;
but pearls sink to the bottom.”

A _colon_, not a _semi-colon_, should be used when the clause or phrase that follows the mark expresses a result or effect, or when it is in the form of an analogy, or is a parallel to what precedes. “He lived a virtuous life: he died a happy death.” “The flowers bloom and wither: so is it with the life of man.” The use of the _colon_ before a quotation or a list is an application of this principle. As a general thing, therefore, the voice should be kept up before _colons_, and let fall before _semi-colons_.

A long compound or complex sentence, the various parts of which are divided by colons or semi-colons, may be separated into two or more parts by periods. The second part will begin with _for_, _therefore_, _and_, _as_, or some other introductory word. [This dividing up of long sentences must be sparingly practised.]

Use brackets, and not parentheses, when, in a quotation, you wish to insert words improperly omitted by the author, or when you wish to explain something, or to correct an error in your own writing. [In the last two cases parentheses may be employed, but brackets are preferable.] So: “The man [Mr. Jones] was very rich.” [When brackets are thus used in a quotation, additional quotation marks are not required after the word preceding, and before the word following, the brackets.]

When both brackets and parentheses are employed, the brackets enclose the parentheses: [(--)].

Parentheses, brackets and dashes do not affect the ordinary punctuation of the sentence; _i.e._, the points which would be required in the rest of the sentence if the parentheses, brackets, or dashes, were omitted, are still used.

A punctuation mark may be used _before_, but not after, a dash.

Mark with an interrogation point a question expressed in the form of an assertion: _e.g._; “I suppose, Sir, you are his physician?”

The plurals of _two_, _three_, &c., are written without the apostrophe: _twos_, _threes_, &c. [Written as figures, these words will have the apostrophe: 2’s, 3’s, &c.]

A hyphen is used between two substantives expressing a compound idea, when the second substantive has lost or changed its accent. Thus: _ship-builder_, _iron-worker_; but _master builder_, _lord chancellor_. The omission of the hyphen may cause confusion when the compound expression is qualified by an adjective or an adjectival phrase. _E.g._: “A large mill owner,” may be taken to mean, _the owner of a large mill_, instead of, _an extensive owner of mills_, some of which may be small. If the former sense is intended, say, “An owner of a large mill [_or_, of large mills].” If the latter, say, “An extensive [_or_, important] owner of mills;” or else use a hyphen: “A large mill-owner.”

A hyphen is used between an adjective and its noun when the two, taken together, form a compound adjective. _E.g._: “High-church principles.” [A similar remark may be made of adjectives, one qualifying the other, as: _a red-hot poker_; also of an adjective (or an adverb) qualifying a participle used as an adjective, when the compound expression precedes the noun, as: a _slow-sailing vessel_. When it follows the noun, the hyphen is not required; as in: “A vessel slow (_or_, slowly) sailing o’er the sea.” In the latter case, the participle cannot be said to be used as an adjective.]

In writing, it is better to divide syllables according to sound than according to derivation. _E.g._: Epiph-any, pref-ace.

When a quotation contains several paragraphs, inverted commas should be used at the beginning of each paragraph, but the apostrophes should be omitted after all the paragraphs except the last one. The same rule will apply to several stanzas of poetry in one quotation. When the poetical quotation consists of verses not separated into stanzas, some writers use inverted commas before each line. This is unnecessary: inverted commas before the first line, and apostrophes after the last, being sufficient.

Do not write the plural of proper names with an apostrophe. Write: “I have seen the Smiths” [not, _Smith’s_]. “I know the three Marys” [not, _Mary’s_].

_D. APPLETON & CO.’S PUBLICATIONS._

=ERRORS IN THE USE OF ENGLISH.= By the late WILLIAM B. HODGSON, LL. D., Professor of Political Economy in the University of Edinburgh. American revised edition. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

“This posthumous work of Dr. Hodgson deserves a hearty welcome, for
it is sure to do good service for the object it has in view--improved
accuracy in the use of the English language.... Perhaps its chief use
will be in very distinctly proving with what wonderful carelessness
or incompetency the English language is generally written. For
the examples of error here brought together are not picked from
obscure or inferior writings. Among the grammatical sinners whose
trespasses are here recorded appear many of our best-known authors
and publications.”--_The Academy._

=THE ENGLISH GRAMMAR OF WILLIAM COBBETT.= Carefully revised and annotated by ALFRED AYRES. With Index. 18mo, cloth, extra, $1.00.

“I know it well, and have read it with great admiration.”--RICHARD
GRANT WHITE.

“Cobbett’s Grammar is probably the most readable grammar ever
written. For the purposes of self-education it is unrivaled. Persons
that studied grammar when at school and failed to comprehend its
principles--and there are many such--as well as those that never have
studied grammar at all, will find the book specially suited to their
needs. Any one of average intelligence that will give it a careful
reading will be rewarded with at least a tolerable knowledge of the
subject, as nothing could be more simple or more lucid than its
expositions.”--_From the Preface._

=THE ORTHOEPIST=: A Pronouncing Manual, containing about Three Thousand Five Hundred Words, including a Considerable Number of the Names of Foreign Authors, Artists, etc., that are often mispronounced. By ALFRED AYRES. 18mo, cloth, extra, $1.00.

“It gives us pleasure to say that we think the author, in the
treatment of this very difficult and intricate subject, English
pronunciation, gives proof of not only an unusual degree of
orthoepical knowledge, but also, for the most part, of rare judgment
and taste.”--JOSEPH THOMAS, LL. D., _in Literary World_.

=THE VERBALIST=: A Manual devoted to Brief Discussions of the Right and the Wrong Use of Words, and to some other matters of Interest to those who would Speak and Write with Propriety, including a Treatise on Punctuation. By ALFRED AYRES. 18mo, cloth, extra, $1.00.

“This is the best kind of an English grammar. It teaches the right
use of our mother-tongue by giving instances of the wrong use of it,
and showing why they are wrong.”--_The Churchman._

“Every one can learn something from this volume, and most of us a
great deal.”--_Springfield Republican._

_THE GREVILLE MEMOIRS COMPLETE._

=A JOURNAL OF THE REIGNS OF KING GEORGE IV AND KING WILLIAM IV.= By the late CHARLES C. F. GREVILLE, Esq., Clerk of the Council to those Sovereigns. Edited by HENRY REEVE, Registrar of the Privy Council. Two vols. 12mo. Cloth, $4.00.

“Since the publication of Horace Walpole’s Letters, no book of
greater historical interest has seen the light than the Greville
Memoirs. It throws a curious, and, we may almost say, a terrible
light on the conduct and character of the public men in England under
the reigns of George IV and William IV. Its descriptions of those
kings and the kinfolk are never likely to be forgotten.”--_New York
Times._

=A JOURNAL OF THE REIGN OF QUEEN VICTORIA, FROM 1837 TO 1852.= The “Greville Memoirs,” Second Part. By the late CHARLES GREVILLE, Clerk of the Council. Uniform with Part First. Two vols. 12mo. Cloth, $4.00.

“Mr. Greville’s Diary is one of the most important contributions
which have ever been made to the political history of the middle of
the nineteenth century. He is a graphic and powerful writer; and his
usual habit of making the record while the impression of the events
was fresh upon his mind, gives his sketches of persons and places,
and his accounts of conversations, great vividness. The volumes will
be read with as much interest for their sketches of social life as
for their political value.”--_London Daily News._

=A JOURNAL OF THE REIGN OF QUEEN VICTORIA, FROM 1852 TO 1860.= By the late CHARLES GREVILLE, Esq., Clerk of the Council. Being third and concluding part of the “Greville Memoirs.” One vol. 12mo. Cloth, $2.00.

The preceding volumes of the “Greville Memoirs” consist of “A Journal
of the Reign of King George IV and King William IV” in two vols.; and
“A Journal of the Reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1852,” in two
vols. Price in each case, per vol., $2.00.

This volume, in addition to personal anecdotes, deals with many
important events, such, for instance, as the re-establishment of the
French Empire, the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, and the Italian
War.

=THE HISTORICAL REFERENCE-BOOK=, COMPRISING A CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY, A CHRONOLOGICAL DICTIONARY OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY, A BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY. With Geographical Notes. For the Use of Students, Teachers, and Readers. Second edition. By LOUIS HEILPRIN. Crown 8vo, 579 pages. Half leather, $3.00.

“A second, revised edition of Mr. Louis Heilprin’s ‘Historical
Reference-Book’ has just appeared, marking the well-earned success
of this admirable work--a dictionary of dates, a dictionary of
events (with a special gazetteer for all the places mentioned),
and a concise biographical dictionary, all in one, and all in the
highest degree trustworthy. Mr. Heilprin’s revision is as thorough as
his original work. Any one can test it by running ever the list of
persons deceased since this manual first appeared.”--_Evening Post._

=CHINA.= TRAVELS AND INVESTIGATIONS IN THE MIDDLE KINGDOM. A Study of Its Civilization and Possibilities. WITH A GLANCE AT JAPAN. By JAMES HARRISON WILSON, late Major-General United States Volunteers, and Brevet Major-General United States Army. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

=ROUNDABOUT TO MOSCOW.= AN EPICUREAN JOURNEY. By JOHN BELL BOUTON, author of “Round the Block.” 12mo. Cloth, ornamented cover, Russian title-page, 421 pages, $1.50.

“This genial book gives the first truly American view of the land of
Nihilists and Novelists. The author exposes and playfully ridicules
the current English misrepresentations of Russia. His epicurean
circuit for getting into and out of the empire includes nearly every
country of Europe. He keeps on the track of all the comforts and
luxuries required by American travelers. Tourists will find the
volume a boon companion. But it is no less designed to please those
who stay at home and travel only by book.”

=BRAZIL=: ITS CONDITION AND PROSPECTS. By C. C. ANDREWS, ex-Consul-General to Brazil; formerly U. S. Minister to Norway and Sweden. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

CONTENTS: Prefatory. Voyage to Brazil. Getting to Housekeeping.
Rio and its People. Life and Manners. The Emperor of Brazil.
Tijuca--Pedra Bonita. Situation, Resources, and Climate.
American-Brazilian Relations. A Trip into the Interior. Visit to
a Coffee-Plantation. Public Instruction. Local Administration.
Parliamentary Government. Brazilian Literature. Agriculture and
Stock-raising. The Amazon Valley. Beasts of Prey. Slavery and
Emancipation. The Religious Orders. Public Lands and Immigration.

“I hope I may be able to present some facts in respect to the present
situation of Brazil which will be both instructive and entertaining
to general readers. My means of acquaintance with that empire are
principally derived from a residence of three years at Rio de
Janeiro, its capital, while employed in the service of the United
States Government, during which period I made a few journeys into the
interior.”--_From the Preface._

=A STUDY OF MEXICO.= By DAVID A. WELLS, LL.D., D.C.L. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00; paper cover, 50 cents.

“Mr. Wells’s showing is extremely interesting, and its value is
great. Nothing like it has been published in many years.”--_New York
Times._

“Mr. Wells sketches broadly but in firm lines Mexico’s physical
geography, her race inheritance, political history, social condition,
and present government.”--_New York Evening Post._

“Several efforts have been made to satisfy the growing desire
for information relating to Mexico since that country has become
connected by railways with the United States. But we have seen no
book upon this subject by an American writer which is so satisfactory
on the score of knowledge and trustworthiness as ‘A Study of Mexico,’
by David A. Wells.”--_New York Sun._

=IN THE BRUSH=; OR, OLD-TIME SOCIAL AND POLITICAL LIFE IN THE SOUTHWEST. By H. W. PIERSON, D. D. With Illustrations by W. L. Sheppard. 16mo. Cloth, $1.50. New cheap edition, paper, 50 cents.

“It has peculiar attractions in its literary methods, its rich and
quiet humor, and the genial spirit of its author.”--_The Critic._

=PROVERBS FROM PLYMOUTH PULPIT.= SELECTED FROM THE WRITINGS AND SAYINGS OF HENRY WARD BEECHER. Revised in part by Mr. BEECHER, and under revision by him at the time of his death. 12mo. Cloth, gilt top, $1.00.

“Pithy, piquant, and picturesque sentences from the writings of the
late Henry Ward Beecher. They are admirably selected to show the
author’s characteristics. In the main they enhance one’s appreciation
of his excellences.”--_New York Home Journal._

“The wisdom and the world-knowledge of the great preacher have a
brilliant exemplification in this book, which, wherever it may
be opened, presents with the terseness and point of an epigram
impressive thoughts in abundance and of a nature that stimulates
reflection and edifies the understanding.”--_Boston Gazette._

“In these wise and witty utterances may be found the quintessence
of Mr. Beecher’s ideas about religion, morals, nature, art, and
man in all his relations to life and eternity. Mr. Beecher looked
for himself and did his own thinking. The result is an actual
contribution to the proverbial philosophy of the world which will
compare favorably with the most brilliant dicta of any other modern
man.”--_New York Journal of Commerce._

“If not always original, these selections are generally quaint and
forcible. We append a specimen or two: ‘The piety of impossible boys
is monstrous. A man’s experience stuffed into a little boy is simply
monstrous. The world is soundly skeptical of the whole school of
juvenile _paté-de-foie-gras_ piety.’ ‘There are many men who would
not blaspheme--oh no! but they will use cowards’ oaths. They will not
say “By Jehovah!” but they will say “By Jupiter!”’”--_New York Sun._

=TWELVE LECTURES TO YOUNG MEN=, ON VARIOUS IMPORTANT SUBJECTS. By Rev. HENRY WARD BEECHER. Revised edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

_CONTENTS._--Industry and Idleness; Twelve Causes of Dishonesty; Six
Warnings; Portrait Gallery; Gamblers and Gambling; The Strange Woman;
Popular Amusements; Practical Hints; Profane Swearing; Vulgarity;
Happiness; Temperance.

=HISTORY OF THE OPINIONS ON THE SCRIPTURAL DOCTRINE OF RETRIBUTION.= By EDWARD BEECHER, D. D., author of “The Conflict of Ages.” 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.

The momentous question of future retribution is here historically
discussed with an earnestness and deliberation due to its
transcendent importance. The main interest of the inquiry naturally
centers in the doom of the wicked. Will it be annihilation? ultimate
restoration to holiness and happiness? endless punishment? or is
it out of power to decide which of these views is the truth? The
discussion is intensified by being narrowed to the meaning of a
single word, _aionios_. The opinions of those to whom Christ spoke,
and how they understood him, are vital questions in the argument;
and, to solve them, the opinions and modes of speech of preceding
ages must be attentively weighed, for each age is known to have
molded the opinions and use of words of its successor. Hence, Dr.
Beecher has found himself compelled to “trace the development of
thought and language from the outset to the days of Christ, then to
inquire into the import of his words, in the light of all preceding
ages; and, lastly, to trace the development of opinion downward
through the Christian ages.”

EDNA LYALL’S NOVELS.

=DONOVAN=: A MODERN ENGLISHMAN. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

“This story is told with vigor and intelligence, and throughout
the book is well imagined and well written. It is a novel of
sterling merit, being fresh and original in conception, thoroughly
healthy in tone, interesting in detail, and sincere and capable in
execution.”--_Academy._

=WE TWO.= 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

“Well written and full of interest. The story abounds with a
good many light touches, and is certainly far from lacking in
incident.”--_Times._

“We recommend all novel-readers to read this novel with the care
which such a strong, uncommon, and thoughtful book demands and
deserves.”--_Spectator._

=WON BY WAITING.= 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

“The Dean’s daughters are perfectly real characters--the learned
Cornelia especially; the little impulsive French heroine, who
endures their cold hospitality and at last wins their affection, is
thoroughly charming; while throughout the book there runs a golden
thread of pure brotherly and sisterly love, which pleasantly reminds
us that the making and marring of marriage is not, after all, the sum
total of real life.”--_Academy._

=KNIGHT-ERRANT.= 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

“‘Knight-Errant’ is marked by the author’s best qualities as a writer
of fiction, and displays on every page the grace and quiet power of
the former works.”--_Athenæum._

“Among all the stories, real or fictitious, of Italian brigandage
which we have read, there is none more striking, picturesque, and
terrible than this.”--_Spectator._

=IN THE GOLDEN DAYS.= 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

“Miss Lyall has given us a vigorous study of such life and character
as are really worth reading about. The central figure of her story
is Algernon Sydney; and this figure she invests with a singular
dignity and power. He always appears with effect but no liberties
are taken with the facts of his life. The plot is adapted with great
felicity to them. His part in it, absolutely consistent as it is with
historical truth, gives it reality as well as dignity. Some of the
scenes are remarkably vivid. The escape is an admirable narrative,
which almost makes one hold one’s breath as one reads.”--_Spectator._

“‘In the Golden Days’ is an excellent novel of a kind we are always
particularly glad to recommend. It has a good foundation of plot
and incident, a thoroughly noble and wholesome motive, a hero who
really acts and suffers heroically, and two very nice heroines. The
historical background is very carefully indicated, but is never
allowed to become more than background.”--_Guardian._

=THE GEOGRAPHICAL AND GEOLOGICAL DISTRIBUTION OF ANIMALS.= By ANGELO HEILPRIN, Professor of Invertebrate Paleontology at the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, etc. 12mo. $2.00.

“An important contribution to physical science is Angelo Heilprin’s
‘Geographical and Geological Distribution of Animals.’ The author has
aimed to present to his readers such of the more significant facts
connected with the past and present distribution of animal life as
might lead to a proper conception of the relations of existing fauna,
and also to furnish the student with a work of general reference,
wherein the more salient features of the geography and geology
of animal forms could be readily ascertained. While this book is
addressed chiefly to the naturalist, it contains much information,
particularly on the subject of the geographical distribution of
animals, the rapidly increasing growth of some species and the
gradual extinction of others, which will interest and instruct the
general reader. Mr. Heilprin is no believer in the doctrine of
independent creation, but holds that animate nature must be looked
upon as a concrete whole.”--_New York Sun._

=MICROBES, FERMENTS, AND MOULDS.= By E. L. TROUESSART. With 107 Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

“Microbes are everywhere; every species of plant has its special
parasites, the vine having more than one hundred foes of this kind.
Fungi of a microscopic size, they have their uses in nature, since
they clear the surface of the earth from dead bodies and fecal
matter, from all dead and useless substances which are the refuse
of life, and return to the soil the soluble mineral substances from
which plants are derived. All fermented liquors, wine, beer, vinegar,
etc., are artificially produced by the species of microbes called
ferments; they also cause bread to rise. Others are injurious to
us, for in the shape of spores and seeds they enter our bodies with
air and water and cause a large number of the diseases to which the
flesh is heir. Many physicians do not accept the microbian theory,
considering that when microbes are found in the blood they are
neither the cause of the disease, nor the contagious element, nor
the vehicle of contagion. In France the opponents of the microbian
theory are Robin, Bechamp, and Jousset de Bellesme; in England, Lewis
and Lionel Beale. The writer comes to the conclusion that Pasteur’s
microbian theory is the only one that explains all facts.”--_New York
Times._

=EARTHQUAKES AND OTHER EARTH MOVEMENTS.= By JOHN MILNE, Professor of Mining and Geology in the Imperial College of Engineering, Tokio, Japan. With 38 Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.

“In this little book Professor Milne has endeavored to bring together
all that is known concerning the nature and causes of earthquake
movements. His task was one of much difficulty. Professor Milne’s
excellent work in the science of seismology has been done in Japan,
in a region of incessant shocks of sufficient energy to make
observation possible, yet, with rare exceptions, of no disastrous
effects. He has had the good fortune to be aided by Mr. Thomas Gray,
a gentleman of great constructive skill, as well as by Professors J.
A. Ewing, W. S. Chaplin, and his other colleagues in the scientific
colony which has gathered about the Imperial University of Japan. To
these gentlemen we owe the best of our science of seismology, for
before their achievements we had nothing of value concerning the
physical conditions of earthquakes except the great works of Robert
Mallet; and Mallet, with all his genius and devotion to the subject,
had but few chances to observe the actual shocks, and so failed to
understand many of their important features.”--_The Nation._
