On the Susquehanna.

A NOVEL, By WILLIAM A. HAMMOND, author of "Lal," "Doctor Grattan," "Mr. Oldmixon," etc., 12mo, cloth. Price $1.50.

"On the Susquehanna" is a novel of real life as it exists in the picturesque region of middle Pennsylvania-a region hitherto neglected by writers of fiction. The local coloring, personal and typographical, is such as could only have been given through a minute acquaintance with the people in that part of the country in which the action takes place. The plot is absorbing, and well maintained to the end of the story.

A PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY. By GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS. One vol., 12mo, 564 pages, cloth. Pri e, $2.00
