Dr. KITTO'S very valuable _Daily Bible Illustrations_ have been published by Messrs. Carter in four small octavo volumes. The entire work is to consist of eight volumes, and will comprise a series of original readings on selected passages of Scripture, illustrative of the history, biography, geography, antiquities, and theology of the Bible. The subjects are arranged so as to extend over two years' daily reading. While specially designed for the family circle, to the youthful members of which the illustrations will render the Scripture histories particularly agreeable, the work is characterized by a degree of scholarship and ability that will make it eminently entertaining and instructive to even the best informed general reader. * * * * * The _Early Life and First Campaigns of Napoleon_, with a History of the Bonaparte Family, and a Review of French Politics, to the year 1796, by B. P. POORE, has been published by Ticknor & Co. of Boston, and will be continued in several parts, completing the life of the Emperor. Mr. Poore while residing in Europe as the Historical Agent of Massachusetts, collected many important documents illustrating his subject, and he will undoubtedly succeed in producing not only a very interesting biography, but a comparatively original one. * * * * * Mr. GEORGE TAYLOR, a young lawyer who has distinguished himself in his profession, is the author of a clever book, entitled _Indications of the Creator, or the Natural Evidences of a Final Cause_. (Charles Scribner.) Mr. Taylor takes the side of the Christian Religion, and of the real against the sham student of nature, in a reviewal of the general subject, in astronomy, geology, comparative physiology, and natural geography. * * * * * The _History of Pontiac_, which, while in press, several weeks ago, we noticed at considerable length in this magazine, has since been published by Little & Brown of Boston, and Bentley of London, and by the common consent of the reviewers it places Mr. PARKMAN among our most able and pleasing historians. Certainly no subject of its kind has hitherto been treated with as much felicity. * * * * * The beautiful edition of the _Works of Thomas De Quincey_, which Ticknor & Co. have for some time been publishing in Boston, will soon be completed, and the eight or ten duodecimos which it will comprise will be added to as many libraries as are owned by persons of a genuine appreciation in literature. They have never before appeared collectively. * * * * * Mrs. (Fanny Forester) JUDSON has been several weeks in England, on her way via the Cape of Good Hope, to the United States. She is in better health than she had been during the last year of her residence in the East. * * * * *
