Mr. James Hammond Trumbull , the author of the work entitled “The Blue Laws of Connecticut and New Haven, and the False Blue Laws invented by the Rev. Samuel Peters,” which has just made its appearance, attempts to throw discredit on the work of Dr. Peters, and represents it as a fiction, and a calumny upon the early settlers of Connecticut. Mr. Trumbull seems to have spared no trouble in his researches to show that no such laws as the “Blue Laws” represented by Dr. Peters were in existence, and

It has not been for the purpose of obtaining a character for the work, which it did not before possess, that I again bring it before the public; but that they may have both sides of the case for their view, joined with that of defending my ancestor, the author, a good and venerable old clergyman, who was driven from his country, and his large estates sequestrated, for obeying “the laws of his God, the laws of his country, and the dictates of his conscience, by the fanatics of Connecticut,” and f

Not long afterward, the patentees came to the resolution of making a division of the country among themselves by lot, which they did in the presence of James I. The map of New England, etc., published by Purchas in 1625, which is now become scarce, and probably the only memorial extant of the result, has the following names on the following portions of the coast: In the above map, no names appear on the coast north of the river St. Croix, i. e., Nova Scotia, which was relinquished by the patente

Thirdly: The learned and opulent families in America were not honoured by their King like those born in Britain. Fourthly: The Americans saw themselves despised by the Britons, “though bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh.” They felt and complained of, without redress, the sad effects of convicts, the curses of human society and the disgrace of England, taken from the dungeons, jails, and gibbets, and poured into America as the common sewer of England, to murder, plunder, and commit outra

AND OTHER POLITICAL ESSAYS. By Walter Bagehot , author of “Physics and Politics.” Latest revised edition. 1 vol., 12mo. Cloth. Price, $2.00. “With the author’s inclination and capacity to regard public questions in their scientific aspects, many readers are already familiar through his suggestive volume entitled ‘Physics and Politics.’ ‘The English Constitution’ is a work of the same quality, and treats its subjects very much with reference to the principles of human nature and the natural laws

By Charles Darwin , M. A. Second edition, revised. With Illustrations. 1 vol., 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.75. “Mr. Darwin has prepared a new edition of his work on the fertilization of orchids by insects, which was published in 1862, and has been for some time out of print. He has, during the interval, received a great deal of information on the subject from various correspondents, and has also continued his own researches; and he has used the materials thus obtained in remodeling the original work.

By Frances Eleanor Trollope , author of “a Charming Fellow,” etc. 1 vol., 8vo. Illustrated. Paper covers. Price, 75 cents. “It has all the rapid movement of a play, and is at the same time full of piquant character-study. The personages of the story have life and thorough individuality—there is not a puppet among them. It has been said of one of them—the American ‘medium’—that he is simply a caricature; but those who have seen a certain erratic countryman of ours will recognize many of his curio

A Novel. By Julian Hawthorne , author of “Bressant,” “Saxon Studies,” etc. 1 vol., 8vo. Paper covers, $1.00; cloth, $1.50. “‘Garth,’ is Mr. Julian Hawthorne’s most elaborate and pretentious book. It is on many accounts also his best book, though it contains nothing so good as the character of the hero in ‘Bressant.’ At least his genius is unmistakable. And we are disposed to venture the suggestion that, if ‘Garth’ had not been a serial, it would have been more compact and closely written, and so

Including all Known Processes of Electro-Deposition. By G. Gore , LL. D., F. R. S. 1 vol., 12mo. 391 pages. Illustrated. $2.50. “I have endeavored not only to make the book a treatise on the practical art of Electro-Metallurgy, but also to include an outline of the science of electro-chemistry, upon which that art is based; and I have also spared no trouble in order to make it as perfect as I could; the most complete portions are those which treat of the common methods of silvering, gilding, mou

An Introduction to the Principles which determine the Arrangement and Proportions of the Parts of Machines, and a Collection of Rules for Machine-Design. By W. Cawthorne Unwin . 1 vol. , 12mo. Illustrated. $1.50. “No labor has been spared in condensing into the smallest compass the information at the author’s disposal, and in endeavoring to render the treatment of the subject simple and clear. If the student’s path has in any degree been rendered easy, it is because a good deal of labor has been

A Novel. By Christian Reid , author of “Morton House,” “Valerie Aylmer,” etc. 1 vol., 8vo. Paper covers, $1.00; cloth $1.50. “After Many Days” is marked by those characteristics that have made the name of Christian Reid distinguished—flowing style, charm and contrast of character, dramatic situations and effective development of plot. The scene is laid partly in the South and partly in England, while its narrative exhibits notable variety of incident and strength of interest....
