ready in October. A new and superior edition of the PEARLS OF AMERICAN POETRY will also be published this season. V. The Book of Dainty Devices. In an elegant small folio volume. Lays of the Western World. VI. Dr. Klipstein's Anglo-Saxon Course of Study. In uniform 12mo. volumes. I. A Grammar of the Anglo-Saxon Language. By Louis F. Klipstein, AA.LL.M. and PH.D., of the University of Giessen. * * * This work recommends itself particularly to the attention of every American student who "glories in his Anglo-Saxon descent" or Teutonic lineage, as well as of all who desire an acquaintance with a language which lies as the foundation of the English, and throws a light upon its elements and structure, derivable from no other source.

With regard to the merits of Dr. Klipstein's Grammar, we will only say, that it has been already adopted as a text-book in some of the leading Institutions of our country.

Analecta Anglo-Saxonica, with an Introductory Ethnographical Essay, Copious Notes, Critical and Explanatory, and a Glossary in which are shown the Indo-Germanic and other Affinities of the Language. _By the same._ In this work appear the fruits of considerable research, and, we may add, learning. The Ethnology of Europe is succinctly, but clearly illustrated, the Anglo-Saxon language completely analysed, revealing the utmost harmony of combination from its elements, its forms and roots compared with those in kindred dialects and cognate tongues, its position in the Teutonic family and Indo-Germanic range established, and the genuine relation of the English to its great parent properly set forth. To those who are fond of the comparative study of language, the Glossary will prove an invaluable aid, apart from its particular object. III. Natale Sancti Gregorii Papae.--AElfric's Homily on the Birth-day of St. Gregory, and Collateral Extracts from King Alfred's version of Bede's Ecclesiastical History and the Saxon Chronicle, with a full rendering into English, Notes Critical and Explanatory, and an Index of Words. _By the same._ IV.
