In alluding to the good taste and judgment displayed in the mechanical execution of the work, we are reminded that to the enterprise of its wellknown publisher we are probably indebted for more than the mere publication of the book; for though it had been a long-cherished purpose of the author to write a life of Washington, yet his advancing years, together with a modest distrust of his power over a new generation of readers and of critics, might have proved insuperable obstacles to the carrying out of his plan, had not the rapid sale of the beautiful uniform edition of his works published by Mr. Putnam, been to him a pledge of the permanent regard of his country-people, and a consequent stimulus to the undertaking and completing of this last and crowning labor of his literary life. THE YOUNG MAROONERS. *This is a captivating story, of the order of Robinson Crusoe and Swiss Family Robinson. It is a tale of rather marvellous adventure, but bearing enough the air of probability to give to it the interest of a truthful narrative. Much useful information is woven into the story, and the moral influence of the book is healthful. ADDITIONAL BOOKS RECEIVED. THE PURITANS AND QUEEN ELIZABETH.-By Samuel Hopkins. Vol. I.
