and fitted for the task, will be likely to leave nothing deficient. The volume will contain between 1400 and 1500 pages, and the price is not to exceed six dollars. Many of the serials, of which several are issued in New York, are works of merit. Among these we notice the Library of Standard Baptist Authors, issued by Colby & Co. in monthly numbers, two of which have appeared; Appleton's Literary Miscellany, in which are several works of sterling value, such as Michelet's Life of Luther, etc. Munroe & Co., of this city, have issued the first No. of a "Boston Library of American and Foreign Literature." Harpers' "New Miscellany" embraces some choice selections. The Rev. Dr. Belcher is preparing for the press a small volume, entitled, The Baptisms of the New Testament: illustrations of the ordinance from its administrations as recorded by the inspired writers.” Gould, Kindall & Lincoln have in press the Christian's Daily Treasury-a religious exercise for every day in the year, by Ebenezer Temple, of Rochford, Essex, England, from the second London edition. This work is similar to the "Daily Manna," by Dr. Stow, with the additional advantage of the illustration of every text. Each day occupies a duodecimo page. It is in fair type, and possesses decided advantages over the excellent works of Jay, Bogatsky, Mason, etc. The Cyclopedia of English Literature, by Robert Chambers, is to be issued by the same publishers in semi-monthly parts, to commence in December next. Each number will be handsomely embellished, and printed on fine paper; the whole to be comprised in about 16 numbers at 25 cents, thus bringing this valuable work within the reach of all. GERMANY. Prolegomena ad Platonis Rempublicam. Scripsit Dr. G. F. Rettig. This is described as a work which every scholar will find useful, who is occupied with the study of Plato. Its object is to investigate and explain the obscure passages of this treatise, and to establish critically or refute, as the truth is supposed to require, the views which other commentators, and especially Schleiermacher, have advanced in reference to the Republic. Deutsch-Griechisches Wörterbuch zum Schulgebrauch, von Dr. W. Pape. This is designed to accompany his Greek Lexicon already published, and to constitute with that, a fourth volume. It will no doubt take rank above every similar work in the German language. It will consist of two parts, one of which has appeared, and the other is soon to follow. Rost and Palm have associated with them Prof. O. Kraussler in their republication of Passow's Handwörterbuch der Griechischen Sprache, which they are revising and bringing up to the present state of Greek philology. The second part of the first volume has just appeared. The preceding part was printed in 1841. Hand's great work on the Latin Particles, Turselinus seu de particulis Latinis Commentarii, has reached the fourth volume. The author has been engaged in the preparation of this new volume since 1836. No single work occupying the same ground can be brought into com parison with this in respect to the extent of its plan, or the thoroughness and erudition for which it is distinguished. Xenophontis Anabasis, Mit erklärenden Anmerkungen, herausgegeben von K. W. Krüger, zweite Ausg. 1845. Krüger, who belongs to the University at Berlin, is by universal acknowledgment one of the first Hellenists in Germany. His claim to this rank he has fully demonstrated in his recent Greek Grammar. This new edition of the Anabasis is said to be almost a perfect model of what a Greek schoolbook should be. Sintenis, whose judgment no one will question, has pronounced it, in a discriminating critique, the best edition of the Anabasis for its object, which can be put into the hands of the student. The second edition of Wolfe's Encyclopädie, der Philologie, just published by Stockmann, will prove welcome to all classical scholars. The former edition appeared in 1831. The present is furnished with a survey of the literature, in this department of study, which has been created since that time down to 1845. Kühner has put forth a third edition of his Elementary Grammar of the Latin Language. It claims to be decidedly superior to the second edition which was translated by Prof. Champlin. His larger or School Grammar of the Latin Language is now in its second edition. The last number of the Real-Encyklopädie der classischen Alterthumswissenschaft, by Waltz and Teuffel, which has been published, is the seventy-second. The last numbers of this work which we have examined, are the sixty-third and fourth. An idea may be formed of the magnitude of the work from the fact that each number contains, on an average, 160 pages, and that the topics, which are taken up in the alphabetical order, have been brought in these numbers nearly to the commencement of the letter L. The celebrated Orelli, of Zürich, has entered upon a republication of his critical edition of the works of Cicero. Two volumes had left the press at the close of the last year. No man living has so ample a collection of works relating to the study of Cicero's writings. His habits of extreme accuracy, which render him slow in bringing his labors to the perfection which he exacts of himself, make it doubtful, whether he lives to finish this undertaking. A new Philological Journal, entitled Philologus, Zeitschrift für das klassische Alterthum, has been commenced by Prof. F. W. Schneidewin, of the University at Göttingen. On his catalogue of contributors appear the names of some of the most eminent classical scholars in Germany. Among the writers in the first number, we notice, in addition to the editor, the names of O. Jahn, H. Ritter, Preller, Sintenis, Grotefend, M. Haupt, K. Lachmann, Göttlin, Halm and others. With such supporters, it cannot fail to occupy a rank second to that of no similar publication in Germany. H. QUARTERLY LIST. DEATHS. J. BAILEY, Mississippi. ISAAC BELLOWs, Solon, Cort. Co., N.
