From J. S. Redfield, New York, through W. B. Zieber, Philadelphia: "The
Partisan: a Romance of the Revolution." By W. Gilmore Simms, Esq., author
of "The Yemassee," "Guy Rivers," etc. etc. This is a new and revised
edition of one of the author's most popular works.--"Poems, Descriptive,
Dramatic, Legendary, and Contemplative." By William Gilmore Simms, Esq.
In two volumes. The first of these volumes contains "Norman Maurice: a
Tragedy;" "Atlantis: a Tale of the Sea;" "Tales and Traditions of the
South;" "The City of the Silent." The second volume embraces "Southern
Passages and Pictures;" "Historical and Dramatic Sketches;" "Scripture
Legends;" "Francesca da Rimini." These, and the prose writings of Mr.
Simms, have established his fame as a chaste and brilliant writer. We hope
he will receive from the publication of his prose and poetical writings,
in their present complete and uniform editions, the pecuniary reward to
which his incessant literary labors so justly entitle him.
From Ticknor, Reed, & Fields, Boston, through W. P. Hazard, Philadelphia:
"Poems and Parodies." By Phœbe Carey. The name of this author and the
character of her poetry are familiar in every town and country in the
United States that can boast a newspaper. This is a handsome collection,
and will be sought after by her numerous friends.--"The Young Voyagers;
or, the Boy Hunters in the North." By Captain Mayne Reid, author of the
"Boy Hunters," "The Desert Home," etc. With twelve illustrations by W.
Harvey. Captain Reid has been a great traveller, and he describes men,
and birds, and beasts, and strange and startling incidents with wonderful
minuteness.
From Herman J. Meyer, New York: "The United States Illustrated; in Views
of City and Country." With descriptive and historical articles. Edited by
Charles A. Dana. We have received Parts 8, 9, and 10, East and West, of
the first volume of this beautiful and truly national work. All connected
with this work deserve great credit for the literary and artistic
excellence exhibited in every number.
Godey's Arm-Chair.
OUR APRIL NUMBER.--We do not perceive any falling off in the "Lady's
Book." As we commenced, so we go on. We have, at a very considerable
expense, procured the very latest style for bonnets, dresses, and
mantillas, for spring wear. These may be depended upon, as they are not
mere reprints taken from other publications, but designed and engraved
expressly for Godey. We will furnish patterns of the dresses for $1 50,
and of the mantillas for $1.

THE Dairy House and Piggery in this number are from the excellent work on
Rural Architecture published by C. M. Saxton, New York. We can furnish the
work complete, postage free, on receipt of $1 25.

"THE Trials of a Needlewoman" continues to increase in interest. Our
exchanges and private letters pronounce this Mr. Arthur's best story.
