excitement in relation to Russia. It is a very able publication--one that will do much to destroy the general belief in the infallibility of Russia. The writer shows himself master of his subject, and treats of the internal condition of Russia, her institutions and customs, society, laws, &c., in an enlightened and scholarly manner."--_City Item._ * * * * * _D. Appleton & Company's Publications._ MARIA J. McINTOSH'S WORKS. I. =THE LOFTY AND THE LOWLY,= OR, GOOD IN ALL AND NONE ALL GOOD. _Two vols. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50; paper covers, $1._ "Life, in its varied relations at the North and the South, is the theme of this work. In its graphic delineations of character, truthfulness of representation, and stirring realities of life, it will hardly give place to 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' The authoress is well-known to the public by her many charming works of fiction, and her life has been passed at the North of South. The nobleness of her sentiments, her elevated and candid views, her genuine feelings of humanity, and the elegance and eloquence of her pen, are brought out in these pages with their full brilliancy and effect." II. =EVENINGS AT DONALDSON MANOR;= OR, THE CHRISTMAS GUEST. _One vol. 12mo. Cloth, 75 cents; paper covers, 50 cents; or, a finer Edition, Illustrated with Ten Steel Engravings, 8vo., cloth, $2; gilt edges, $2.50; morocco, $3.50._ "It is a book that parents may buy for their children, brothers for their sisters, or husbands for their wives, with the assurance that the book will not only give pleasure, but convey lessons of love and charity that can hardly fail to leave durable impressions of moral and social duty upon the mind and heart of the reader."--_Evening Mirror._ III. =WOMAN IN AMERICA;= HER WORK AND HER REWARD. _One vol. 12mo. Paper covers, 50 cents; cloth, 63 cents._ "We like this work exceedingly, and our fair country women will admire it still more than we do. It is written in the true spirit, and evinces extensive observation of society, a clear insight into the evils surrounding and pressing down her sex, and a glorious determination to expose and remove them. Read her work. She will win a willing way to the heart and home of woman, and her mission will be found to be one of beneficence and love. Truly, woman has her work and her reward."--_American Spectator._ IV. =CHARMS AND COUNTER-CHARMS.= _One vol. 12m
