    I MESSRS . SUTTABY & CO . Htemexnbrancer We are pleased , althoug to draw h we attention regret to to notice the sixty in the -seventh editor ' annual s preface issue a remark of Xlie to Christi the effect an Kat so old and so valued a publication is being lost sight of in this bustling age of new things .

    The Christian Kemembrancer is one of the oldest works in diary form that we possess . It deserves continued support from old friendsand should be asked

    for by those who for the first time , are looking out for a book of daily texts in combination with a useful aid

    ¦ to acknowled memory ge U . the From recei Messrs pt JL of . Suttab Boroe y Sacree we hav — e Prayers also / to

    and meditations for private use : a new edition . A volume of Pamily Prayers for four weeks by the

    Hev . Gordon Calthiop , M . A ., has also come to hand , and its merits seem to justify its having passed into

    a third thousand . A new edition of Xongrfellow ' s Poetical Works calls for noticeas it has been revised

    and corrected by comparison with , the latest American edition , in which the poet made important changes .

    New poems which have not appeared in any other collections of Longfellow's works are likewise

    introduced . The appearance of the volume should be remarked upon A . ; particularl X y the binding CT ^ , which is new in

    style , and also appropriate and tasteful . The woodcut which we insert shows the external appearance of the

    volume .
