A BOOK OF CiRSAT VALUE, j IT is with pleasure that Aye announc - i that a book of great itnpoitauee is by ing | offered to tho people of Auckluiid, en-itkti, "The History of the Sea;" giving in a con densed form the important facts of more than a hundred separate works. It is in fact an encyclopedia of travel, history, description, and adventure, the records and results of several voyages. Those made by Columbus, Cook, Kane, and Hall, are but samples of the hundreds throughly treated. Every climate and land, with its products— every people, Avith their religious supersti tions and character, are revieAved in the work scientifically. It also describes the distribution of rainfall, ocean currents, Avith their influence on climate and life ; and one of its principal features is the great progress of navigation, trade, aud commerce of each country, ship-building, dredging, and deep sea sounding. Thi Avhole is em bellished Avith nearly 300 engravings, taken by artists in the regions to Avhich they relate. The work is thoroughly indexed and arranged, so as to make it a complete book of reference. The special get-up of this volume constitutes it a most suitable book for presentation or prize purpose!?. All should avail themselves of the first opportunity of securing a copy. The following testimonials have been given :— , , , ••Bishop's Court, Auckland, « March 15, 1878. " Bishop CoAvie begs to thank Mr Lyon for a copy of the - History of the Sea,' pub lished by Messrs. J. W. Lyon and Co. The Bishop has not been able to do more than glance through the volume, Avhich seems to be very full of information. The binding, type, and paper of the book are certainly good-" - -, ■ j. *• '•I haA*e pleasure in bearing testimony to the high estimation in Avhich Messrs. Lyon and Co.—enterprising booksellers and publishers in Canada—are held. Many names of distinction in our own Presbyterian Church, including Principal Caven, of Knox College, Toronto ; and Dr. Topp, of Knox Church, Toronto ; as Avell as distinguished representatives of other denominations, could be adduced as having lent their in fluence to the firm. I have been desired by the agent in NeAV Zealand, Avho has come from Canada in the interests of the firm, to examine and review the work entitled, 'The History of the Sea,' issued by Messrs. Lyon and Co. As the ocean has for me very strong attractions, this prede liction may to some extent tincture my estimation of the Avork now submitted to the public. But I would heartily recom mend the book to all lovers of literature, as one embracing most graphic and in teresting accounts of sufferings, dangers, adventures, and discoveries, in connection Avith the deep ; and these extending over the sweeping interval Avhich exists between the deluge and the modern Atlantic cable. I think I can predict for the volume, on the part of Auckland, if not the colony at large, a ready and extensive popularity, ou the ground of its dealing descriptively, ex haustively, aud artistically, Avith all that is grand, wild, changeful, penlous,_ or romantic in the history of that mysterious element by Avhich they are surrounded. " Alexander Caeeick, " Minister of St. Andrew's, Auckland." " The ' History of the Sea,' by Dr. Good rich, is the most complete and comprehen sive work on the subject Avhich has ever come under my notice, being a vast treasure of deeply interesting knoAvledge. It is beautifully bound, and elaborately illus trated. As a presentation volume, this artistic bock is most suitable and valuable. "William Kii.k, '•Ex-President of the Wesleyan Conference, " Ncav Zealand." " I have carefully examin.d Dr. F. B. Goodrich's ' History of the Sea,' issued by the entei prising Canadian and Australian publishing firm, J. W. Lyon & Co. The title page shews it to be a Avork of large womise ; it is, hoAvever, only fair to say the promise is more than fulfilled. All avlio wish for a comprehensive knoAvledge of the great ' world of waters,' its strange inhabit ants, and the stirring events which have taken place upon it, should read this book. Dx. Goodrich's style is that of a master of his subject, and no one will read his pages AYithout thanking him for many a pleasant and profitable hour. The illustrations are of great value, and the general get-up of the book is very creditable to the linn that has sent it oat. "Rev. D. Dutton, F.R.A.S., " Auckland." " I have been -»skedto express an opinion Avith regard to a work, entitled, ' The History of the Sea.' The copy before me is a Avell 'piinted and elegantly bouud volume, illustrated by a number of excellent en gravings. The publishers (Messrs. Lyon and Co., of Guulph, Ontario) deserve much credit for the production of such a work. If they are in a position to supply books of this character through a New Zealand agency, at a moderate cost, I conceive that they may be able to do a good work. ' The History ot the Sea' is a very readable book, full of interesting and instructive passages, and abounding in stirring and thrilling in cidents. The true stories which it contains Avill be found in many instances to be ' stranger than fiction,' while it is entirely superior in character to .lie '.sensational literature, which is so widely dis_.eii.io._ted, and is, apparently, so eagerly sought after and devoured. ,: Chas. M. Nelson, M.A., " Incumbent St. Paul's." " I have examined the work called ' The History of the Sea,' published by J. W. Lyon & Co.. and have found it all tha+ the title page declares it to be :' A graphic description of maritime adventures, achieve ments, explorations, discoveries, and in ventions.' It is a A-ery interestitag work, containing a great amount of historical and scientific information, given in such a way as to render the volume highly attractive and useful, especially to the young. The hook is got up in a handsome and durable style, aud will form a valuable addition to the family library. "R. F. Macnicol, " Minister St. James' Presbyterian Church, "Auckland." " - The History of the Sea,' by Goodrich and HoAvland, is, both in its plan and execution, very superior to those by Kings ton and Bailaiitine. It is romantic in its narratives, and yet truthful in its details. I know of no book of the character that I Avould more readily put into the hands of young people. "R. Maunsell, " Archdeacon of Auckland." " I have much pleasure in adding my testimony, along Avith many others, to the value of Dr. Goodrich's Avork, ' The His tory of the Sea.' The clearness and purity of style, the interesting and vivid descrip tions of the Avonders of the deep, the artistic finish and beauty of the numerous engrav ings, the excellence of the paper and typo graphy, make this one of the most enjoy able of books. "Geoegeß. MUNRO, "Minister of St. Luke's Presbyterian Church, Remuera.'' • " ' The History of the Sea,' by Frank B. Goodrich, LL.D., is a work Avhich will be perused with advantage by all, and espe cially by the young. The facts it deals with are fairly stated, and placed before the reader in graphic language. It may bo pre-eminently described as a ' Book for the Family,' aud as deserving of commendation to all avlio have their residences in the Australasian Group of Colonies, "D. Biu.CE, -* Agent of the Presbyterian Church, New Zealand." "At Mr. D. D. Reid's request, I have given a hasty glance through a Avork pub lished by Messrs. J. W. Lyon & Co., entitled, -The History of the Sea.' The work seems very full aud interesting, aud is, I should think, likely to be popular and useful. The paper is good, and the general get-up seems attractive. "B. T. DUDLEY." " Having examined the work, 'The His tory of the Sea,' as carefully as my limited time would permit, I have no hesitation in stating my conviction that, as a popular



history of the 'world of wafers,'it is more \ comprehensive than any with Avhich 1 am ' acquainted ; and I doubt not, judging from the reputation of its author ami publisher!?, | as accurate as it is comprehensive. It will j foi in a very desirable addition to every family library. "Allan W. Webb, "Minister of Wellesley-street Baptist Church." ■ "While examining 'The History of the j Sea,' published by Messrs. J. W. Lyon and j Co., iAVasstniok Avith the amount of iv- ] formation AA'hich, Avithout any unnecessary i parade of Avriting or research, it contains, j Nor is it simply instructive ; it is also very interesting, and -seems to me to furnish reading quite as amusing as many books containing fictitious narratives Avhich are read with avidity, Avhile it lias the addi tional recommendation of containing facts, and adding largely to the reader's stock of definite knoAvledge. " L. PitITT, " Minister of St. Mark's, Remuera, "Archdeacon of Waikato." 7\ XYG E N IS LIFE. Although the modern Materia Medica in cludes many valuable remedies for human afflictions, it is a matter of certainty that in all cases Avhere the animal vitality is failing, Phos phorus is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work effects such as nothing else Aviil produce, and it pos sesses the great advantage of not causirig, when its use is. relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. GJiSI The question naturally presents itself, " Why is so valuable an element so little regarded and so seldom prescribed .' The only answer which can be given is :—That a certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it that its action may be kept under perfect control. Aitherto it has been used in almond and olive oils, in sulphuric ether, in rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in several other substances ; but however Aralu ablc it has been found in nil the iuthei to known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experienced, which ha\^o led physicians to neglect it for geuoral purposes, and to employ it only in extreme cases, and after every other remedy has failed. But a chemical process has now been discovered, by Avhich its invaluaole action on the human sys tem may bo realised Avithout any of those draAv baeks which previous modes of aaministration have invariably produced. €ST Caution.—Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills ..nd Lozenges ; it should be generally known that every form Avhere solid particles of Phosphorus arc in combination is dangerous. It ia therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use of any preparation o" Pno __>i_orus not perfectly soluble in water.

At tho recurs <• 'ho already cured, the proprietor uoav b .• f. he "Blood Restorer" more prominen ore the Public, in the sure certain tha ttnis utilising of the gifts of mere f Providence will prove a great blessing to suit humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick nes Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma t sm, &<:. has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the ago. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing tho cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are new requested to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartia trial. And '.ho Praprietor Avould have it dis tinctly undor Jtood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactiAdty of the Wood is the cause of most sickness and pains. Altera course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it vvere, choked up Avith unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en ire system. N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the Avon derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failod to cure :— Rokeby-street. Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens,— Dear Sir,—l have_to thank you very much for the benefit I have received through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, Avould make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fitted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonisir.g. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that Aye felt there Avas some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial Avas, that after taking it a week> I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were taken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were at hand to proAdde the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-atraet "p^OTiuE OF REMOVAL.
