+"Mr. Robb is better known probably as 'Solitaire,' under which name he
+has written some very broad, farcical sketches of Western manners for
+the _Reveille_, of St. Louis. Some of the sketches in this volume are
+spirited and cleverly written, and they are all lively and full of
+animal spirits; but they are too brief to contain a development of
+character. The best sketch is the story of 'Old Sugar,' which is
+illustrated by an exceedingly fine drawing by Darley. We feel, after
+inspecting the designs in this book, that we have heretofore underrated
+the comic powers of this admirable artist; there are evidences in some
+of these designs of a very high order of genius."--_N. Y. Mirror._

+
+By JOHNSON J. HOOPER, Esq.
+
+_Author of "Adventures of Captain Simon Suggs."_
+
+WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY ELLIOTT.
+
+"A collection of humorous stories well calculated to provoke laughter.
+We advise the immediate purchase of the book, but a temperate use of
+it--one story at a sitting will be sufficient; a greater indulgence
+might result seriously. The very pictures have set us in a roar, and we
+can scarce compose our nerves sufficiently to make our words
+intelligible to the compositor."--_Philada. Advertiser._
+
+"This is, of course, quite full of fun--'all sorts' of fun; and those
+who want a good laugh, should take a peep at Elliot's very original
+comic illustrations."--_Am. Courier._
+
+"This book is by the favorite and witty author of 'Adventures of Simon
+Suggs,' with original designs by the inimitable Darley. It is a capital
+illustration of the laughable side of Western and Southern life. If you
+would enjoy a broad laugh, buy it."--_City Item._
+
+"There is enough 'fun' in this volume to 'spice' a magazine for a
+twelvemonth."--_Southern Literary Gazette._
+
+"Excellent for dispelling care are the humorous works with which Mr. A.
+Hart, Chestnut and Fourth streets, is supplying the lovers of mirth. His
+is the only 'library' of the kind in the country, where genuine humor is
+measured out in periodical doses, and always warranted to make a man
+'laugh and grow fat.' That is the motto, and a capital one it is. The
+last lot is labelled 'Widow Rugby's Husband,' divided into a number of
+the most comical and amusing stories imaginable. The illustrations of 'A
+Ride with Old Kit,' 'A Night at the Ugly Man's,' 'Captain McFadden,' and
+the 'Poor Joke,' are among the richest provocatives to a hearty
+laugh."--_American Courier._

+=MISSISSIPPI SCENES=: OR, SKETCHES OF SOUTHERN LIFE AND ADVENTURE.
+
+BY JOS. B. COBB.
+
+"The peculiar manners and odd customs, the curious ways, and still more
+curious people who reside, live, or float on the great river, are passed
+in review, and pleasant stories are told about them."--_Boston Evening
+Gazette._
+
+"The stories are well told, and some of the sketches of character are
+well drawn."--_Savannah News._
+
+"We have here a neat volume of sketches by one of the contributors of
+the Gazette; a gentleman of fine abilities and finished education, who
+resides in Mississippi. The present volume is confined entirely to
+scenes of Southern Life, all of which are told with spirit and
+naturalness."--_Saturday Gazette._
+
+"This is a pleasant book, and interesting from the circumstance of the
+sketches, as the author tells us in his preface, being chiefly drawn
+from real scenes and characters, illustrative of life in Mississippi;
+and, happily, for the most part, not the low comic life affected by so
+many of the recent painters of Southern manners and adventures."--_North
+American._
+
+"The sketches before us are full of captivating and amusing incidents;
+and to the Mississippi reader, they are peculiarly interesting, from the
+fact that many of the 'Scenes' are laid within the borders of our own
+State. To all who would enjoy an entertaining volume, we commend this
+work."--_The Mississippian._
+
+"A graphic description of the peculiarities of people in a new country,
+in which curious relations are blended with satire and broad humour,
+cannot fail to amuse. Such is the character of this agreeable
+volume."--_Baltimore American._

+until the story is mastered entire."--_City Item._
+
+"A well-written story of adventure, bordering somewhat on the
+marvellous, but an agreeable and interesting book."--_Savannah News._
+
+"This is a well-written book, by an author from whom we hope to hear
+again. It is full of incident and adventure, while Maberry himself is
+exceedingly well drawn."--_Saturday Gazette._

+
+=THE WORKS OF LORD BACON=, WITH A MEMOIR, AND A TRANSLATION OF HIS LATIN
+WRITINGS,
+
+BY BASIL MONTAGU, ESQ.
+
+In Three Volumes, Octavo.
+
+The American edition of the works of Lord Bacon now offered to the
+public, is reprinted from the most approved English edition, that of
+Basil Montagu, Esq., which has recently issued from the celebrated press
+of Pickering, (the modern Aldus.) in seventeen octavo volumes. It
+contains the complete works of the illustrious philosopher, _those in
+Latin being translated into English_. In order to render the publication
+cheap, and therefore attainable by all our public and social libraries,
+as well as by those general readers who study economy, the seventeen
+octavo volumes have been comprised in three volumes, imperial octavo.
+Being printed from the most accurate as well as complete English
+edition, and carefully revised, the American edition will possess
+greater advantages for the critical scholar as well as the general
+reader. In typography, paper and binding, it will be recognized as a
+brilliant specimen of the products of the American book trade.
+
+"We may safely affirm, that, by giving the Inductive Philosophy to the
+world, Lord Bacon has proved one of its most signal benefactors, and has
+largely done his part towards promoting the final triumph of all truth,
+whether natural, or moral and intellectual, over all error; and towards
+bringing on that glorious crisis, destined, we doubt not, one day to
+arrive, when, according to the allegorical representation of that great
+poet, who was not only the Admirer of Bacon, but in some respects his
+kindred genius--TRUTH, though 'hewn like the mangled body of Osiris,
+into a thousand pieces, and scattered to the four winds, shall be
+gathered limb to limb, and moulded, with every joint and member, into an
+immortal feature of loveliness and perfection.'"
+
+"We are more gratified than we can find words to express, to find a
+publishing house in this country, putting forth a publication like the
+Complete Works of Lord Bacon, in a form at once compact, elegant and
+economical."--_Brother Jonathan._

+
+CAREY & HART, have recently published
+
+A NEW EDITION OF
+
+=THE WAVERLEY NOVELS=,
+
+BY SIR WALTER SCOTT,
+
+_With all the Author's latest Notes and Additions, Complete, without the
+slightest Abridgment._
+
+In Five Royal 8vo. volumes, upwards of 650 Pages in each volume.
+
+CONTENTS.
+
+Waverley, Guy Mannering, Antiquary, Rob Roy, Black Dwarf, Old Mortality,
+Heart of Mid-Lothian, Bride of Lammermoor, Legend of Montrose, Ivanhoe,
+The Monastery, The Abbot, Kenilworth, The Pirate, Fortunes of Nigel,
+Peveril of the Peak, Quentin Durward, St. Ronan's Well, Redgauntlet, The
+Betrothed, The Talisman, Woodstock, The Highland Widow, Two Drovers, My
+Aunt Margaret's Mirror, Tapestried Chamber, The Laird's Jock, Fair Maid
+of Perth. Anne of Geierstein, Count Robert of Paris, Castle Dangerous,
+The Surgeon's Daughter.
+
+The object of the publishers in thus reducing the price of the Waverley
+Novels, is to endeavor to give them a greatly extended circulation, and
+they have, therefore, put them at a price which brings them within the
+reach of every family in the country. There is _now_ no fireside that
+need be without a set of the most charming works of fiction ever issued
+from the press: for there is no one that can't afford two dollars and a
+half--TWO DOLLARS AND A HALF for twenty-five of Sir Walter Scott's
+Novels! ten cents for a complete Novel!! ten cents for "Ivanhoe," which
+was originally published at a guinea and a half!!! It seems impossible,
+and yet it is true. In no other way can the same amount of amusement and
+instruction be obtained for ten times the money, for the Waverley Novels
+alone form a Library.
+
+The publishers wish it to be distinctly understood, that, while the
+price is so greatly reduced the work is in no way abridged, but is
+CAREFULLY PRINTED FROM, AND CONTAINS EVERY WORD IN THE LAST EDINBURGH
+EDITION, in forty-eight volumes, which sells for seventy-two dollars.
+
+Now is the time to buy! Such an opportunity may never again occur. Let
+every one, then, who wants the _Waverley Novels for two dollars and a
+half, now purchase_, for if the publishers do not find the sale greatly
+increased, by the immense reduction in price, they will resume the old
+price of twenty-five cents for each Novel, which _was_ considered
+wonderfully cheap.

+_Translated from the French, with Notes and Additions._
+
+The Four Volumes complete in Two.
+
+=Price only $1 50.=
+
+The edition of the History of the French Revolution now offered to the
+public is printed on VERY LARGE TYPE, on good paper, and contains
+upwards of
+
+_Eighteen Hundred Large Octavo Pages_,
+
+and is unquestionably the cheapest book ever published. It _forms a
+necessary introduction_ to _THE LIFE OF NAPOLEON_, by M. A. THIERS, _NOW
+IN COURSE OF PUBLICATION_, and the two works present a complete
+
+HISTORY OF FRANCE
+
+from the commencement of the French Revolution, down to the death of
+Napoleon.
+
+[asterism] Also a fine Edition with 13 steel Engravings, 2 vols., Extra
+Gilt, $3.
+
+
+THE Prose Writers of Germany.
+
+BY F. H. HEDGE.
+
+ILLUSTRATED WITH PORTRAITS.
+
+The work mentioned above comprises a list of the most eminent writers of
+Germany, together with copious extracts from their works, beginning with
+LUTHER and reaching up to the present time. For those who are interested
+in the literature of Germany, it presents a valuable aid in becoming
+more intimately acquainted with the German mind; and even to the curious
+it offers an excitement which will grow stronger in proportion as their
+taste is cultivated.
+
+In the present volume we find valuable extracts, given from their prose
+writings. Although the writers follow in chronological order, and LUTHER
+stands at the head of his intellectual brethren, the longest space is
+allowed to those who claim our greatest attention; and GOETHE therefore
+occupies the most conspicuous position both in the specimens given and
+the selection of the pieces. GOETHE is a writer who requires most of all
+to be studied; while others, as SCHILLER, in his passionate mood and
+ideal longings, requires no silent and incessant reflection, because he
+works his effects immediately by rousing the depth of our nature. Next
+to GOETHE, SCHILLER appears in an article upon Naïve and Sentimental
+Poetry, a bold effort of him, the success of which is however yet very
+disputed, to classify every produce of Art according to the impressions
+made upon the reader, and to dispense with the various and cumbersome
+forms of the departments into which we have been accustomed hitherto to
+arrange all subjects bearing upon poetry. The department upon which
+SCHILLER enters here, belongs properly to the philosophy of Art; to the
+aesthetics, the investigation of the beautiful.
+
+Foremost stands LESSING, the first critic of his time. Next to him comes
+HERDER, a devout philosopher, and a clear-sighted intellect, with the
+eyes of a child; curious to penetrate the maze and noisy market of the
+world, the variegated life among the ancients and the moderns in search
+for that beautiful humanity which he had sketched in his own mind, and
+which he would fain proclaim the order of an otherwise mysterious
+providence. The two brothers SCHLEGEL--William, the noble interpreter
+and translator of Shakspeare, and Frederic, known best by his
+investigations of the language and wisdom of the Indians--follow him,
+and MOSES MENDELSSOHN, a Jewish philosopher, closes the series of these
+writers. The treatise of the latter on the Sublime and Naïve will be
+read with interest by everybody who has only an ordinary reading of
+ancient and modern poetry. Distinct from all the rest stand WIELAND and
+JEAN PAUL RICHTER, best known in this country by the appellation, of
+JEAN PAUL.

+With a Biographical Introduction from "The Heroic Women of the French

+BY M. DE LAMARTINE.
+
+OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
+
+"The book is a noble defence of Marie Antoinette against the many
+calumnies breathed against her. Moreover, as a picture of manners during
+the latter years of Louis XV., and the entire reign of his successor, it
+has no superior; it is at once more decent and more veracious than the
+'Life of Dubarry,' and the thousand other garbled memoirs of that
+period. A large number of notes, explanatory and otherwise, accompany
+the volume, and add materially to its value. Mr. Hart has published the
+book in a style of great elegance, and illustrated it with portraits, on
+steel, of Marie Antoinette and Madame Elizabeth. It is a book that
+should find a place on every lady's centre-table."--_Neal's Gazette._
+
+"Two very interesting volumes, which the reader will not be likely to
+leave till he has finished them."--_Public Ledger._
+
+"The material of this history could not have emanated from a more
+authentic or official source, nor have been honoured with a more
+distinguished or capable god-father than De Lamartine."--_Saturday
+Courier._
+
+"These elegant volumes are a reprint from the third London edition of
+this very delightful work. The vicissitudes depicted in the volumes, and
+scarcely less the charming style of the author and the entire
+familiarity of her theme, make the work one of the most interesting that
+has recently issued from the American press, and no less instructive and
+entertaining."--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._
+
+"This delightful work, abounding with historical incidents connected
+with one of the most stirring periods of French history, presents the
+reader with the personal annals of one of the most amiable and excellent
+women that ever shared the honours of royalty. Compiled by one every way
+competent by talent and education, and qualified by personal
+familiarity, the facts are entitled to the confidence of the reader,
+while the style is piquant and graceful. The work is got up in a very
+superior style of mechanical execution."--_Baltimore Sun._
+
+"We have seldom perused so entertaining a work--it is as a mirror of the
+most splendid court of Europe, at a time when monarchy had not been
+shorn of any of its beams, that it is particularly worthy of our
+attention."--_Morning Chronicle._
+
+"There is not a page of the work which is not deeply or amusingly
+interesting. The position of the author at the court of Louis XVI. gave
+her extraordinary opportunities for looking behind the scenes for the
+causes of much that was entirely inexplicable to the public. Indeed,
+there can be no question of her knowledge, while of her truthfulness, as
+far as she goes, there is abundant evidence in the volumes themselves.
+We cannot believe Marie Antoinette to have been as immaculate as she is
+painted by Madame Campan. Young, giddy, inexperienced and wilful, she
+was cast headlong into the most profligate court of Christendom.
+Surrounded by pleasures and temptations, amid a set of beings to whom
+gallantry was so habitual that it ceased to be remarked--with an
+impotent husband, and with all around him corrupt, venal, and
+licentious, we cannot believe that all the scandalous stories respecting
+the queen were entirely without foundation, that she was _always_
+misconstrued and maligned."--_Boston Morning Post._

+_THE MODERN ESSAYISTS_,
+
+Comprising the Critical and Miscellaneous Writings of the Most
+Distinguished Authors of Modern Times, has induced the publishers to
+issue a New, Revised and very Cheap Edition, with Finely Engraved
+Portraits of the Authors; and while they have _added_ to the series the
+writings of several distinguished authors, they have reduced the price
+more than
+
+=ONE HALF.=
+
+The writings of each author will generally be comprised in a single
+octavo volume, well printed from new type, on fine white paper
+manufactured expressly for this edition.
+
+The series will contain all the most able papers that have EVER APPEARED
+IN THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, The London Quarterly Review, and Blackwood's
+Magazine, and may indeed be called the CREAM of those publications.
+
+It is only necessary to mention the names of the authors whose writings
+will appear. T. BABINGTON MACAULAY, ARCHIBALD ALISON, REV. SYDNEY SMITH,
+PROFESSOR WILSON, JAMES STEPHEN, ROBERT SOUTHEY, SIR WALTER SCOTT, LORD
+JEFFREY, SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH, T. NOON TALFOURD, J. G. LOCKHART,
+REGINALD HEBER.
+
+The popularity of the authors and the extreme moderation of the price,
+recommend
+
+THE MODERN ESSAYISTS,
+
+To HEADS OF FAMILIES for their Children, as perfect models of style.
+
+To MANAGERS OF BOOK SOCIETIES, Book Clubs, &c.
+
+To SCHOOL INSPECTORS, SCHOOLMASTERS AND TUTORS, as suitable gifts and
+prizes, or adapted for School Libraries.
+
+TRAVELLERS ON A JOURNEY will find in these portable and cheap volumes
+something to read on the road, adapted to fill a corner in a portmanteau
+or carpet-bag.
+
+To PASSENGERS ON BOARD A SHIP, here are ample materials in a narrow
+compass for whiling away the monotonous hours of a sea voyage.
+
+To OFFICERS IN THE ARMY AND NAVY, and to all Economists in _space_ or
+_pocket_, who, having limited chambers, and small book-shelves, desire
+to lay up for themselves a _concentrated Library_, at a moderate
+expenditure.
+
+To ALL WHO HAVE FRIENDS IN DISTANT COUNTRIES, as an acceptable present
+to send out to them.
+
+THE MODERN ESSAYISTS will yield to the _Settler_ in the Backwoods of
+America the most valuable and interesting writings of all the most
+distinguished authors of _our time_ at less than one quarter the price
+they could be obtained in any other form.
+
+THE STUDENT AND LOVER OF LITERATURE at Home, who has hitherto been
+compelled to wade through volumes of Reviews for a single article, may
+now become possessed of _every article worth reading_ for little more
+than _the cost of the annual subscription_.

+"It may now be asked by some sapient critics, Why make all this coil
+about a mere periodical essayist? Of what possible concern is it to
+anybody, whether Mr. Thomas Babington Macaulay be, or be not, overrun
+with faults, since he is nothing more than one of the three-day
+immortals who contribute flashy and 'taking' articles to a Quarterly
+Review? What great work has he written? Such questions as these might be
+put by the same men who place the Spectator, Tattler and Rambler among
+the British classics yet judge of the size of a cotemporary's mind by
+that of his book, and who can hardly recognize amplitude of
+comprehension, unless it be spread over the six hundred pages of octavos
+and quartos.--Such men would place Bancroft above Webster, and Sparks
+above Calhoun, Adams, and Everett--deny a posterity for Bryant's
+Thanatopsis, and predict longevity to Pollok's Course of Time. It is
+singular that the sagacity which can detect thought only in a state of
+dilution, is not sadly graveled when it thinks of the sententious
+aphorisms which have survived whole libraries of folios, and the little
+songs which have outrun, in the race of fame, so many enormous
+epics.--While it can easily be demonstrated that Macaulay's writings
+contain a hundred-fold more matter and thought, than an equal number of
+volumes taken from what are called, _par eminence_, the 'British
+Essayists,' it is not broaching any literary heresy to predict, that
+they will sail as far down the stream of time, as those eminent members
+of the illustrious family of British classics."

+"Almost every thing he has written is so characteristic that it would be
+difficult to attribute it to any other man. The marked individual
+features and the rare combination of power displayed in his works, give
+them a fascination unconnected with the subject of which he treats or
+the general correctness of his views. He sometimes hits the mark in the
+white, he sometimes misses it altogether, for he by no means confines

+LORD JEFFREY.
+
+THE CRITICAL WRITINGS OF FRANCIS LORD JEFFREY.
+
+_In One Volume 8vo., with a Portrait._
+
+From a very able article in the North British Review we extract the
+following:
+
+"It is a book not to be read only--but studied--it is a vast repository;
+or rather a system or institute, embracing the whole circle of
+letters--if we except the exact sciences--and contains within itself,
+not in a desultory form, but in a well digested scheme, more original
+conceptions, bold and fearless speculation and just reasoning on all
+kinds and varieties of subjects than are to be found in any English
+writer with whom we are acquainted within the present or the last
+generation. ... His choice of words is unbounded and his felicity of
+expression, to the most impalpable shade of discrimination, almost
+miraculous. Playful, lively, and full of illustration, no subject is so
+dull or so dry that he cannot invest it with interest, and none so
+trifling that it cannot acquire dignity or elegance from his pencil.
+Independently however, of mere style, and apart from the great variety
+of subjects embraced by his pen, the distinguishing feature of his
+writings, and that in which he excels his cotemporary reviewers, is the
+deep vein of practical thought which runs throughout them all."

+
+THE POEMS OF FRANCES SARGENT OSGOOD.
+
+Illustrated by the best artists.
+
+_In one volume octavo, uniform, with Carey & Hart's illustrated Bryant,
+Willis, &c._
+
+The following exquisitely finished line engravings are from original
+designs, by our most celebrated painters, and are executed in the
+highest style of art:--Portrait of the Authoress; Hope; A Child playing
+with a Watch; The Reaper; Ida; Old Friends; The Child's Portrait; Little
+Red Riding Hood; The Life Boat; Twilight Hours; The Arab and his Steed;
+Zuleika.
+
+"There is nothing mechanical about her; all is buoyant, overflowing,
+irrepressible vivacity, like the bubbling up of a natural fountain. In
+her almost childish playfulness, she reminds us of that exquisite
+creation of Fouque, Undine, who knew no law but that of her own
+waywardness. The great charm of her poetry is its unaffected simplicity.
+It is the transparent simplicity of truth, reflecting the feeling of the
+moment like a mirror."--_Rev. Dr. Davidson._
+
+"In all the poems of Mrs. Osgood, we find occasion to admire the author
+as well as the works. Her spontaneous and instinctive effusions appear,
+in a higher degree than any others in our literature, to combine the
+rarest and highest capacities in art with the sincerest and deepest
+sentiments and the noblest aspirations. They would convince us, if the
+beauty of her life were otherwise unknown, that Mrs. Osgood is one of
+the loveliest characters in the histories of literature or
+society."--_Pennsylvania Inquirer and Courier._
+
+"The position of Mrs. Osgood, as a graceful and womanly poetess, is
+fixed, and will be enduring. To taste of faultless delicacy, a
+remarkable command of poetical language, great variety of cadence, and a
+most musical versification, she has added recently the highest qualities
+of inspiration, imagination, and passion, in a degree rarely equalled in
+the productions of women.... The reputation which Mrs. Osgood enjoys, as
+one of the most amiable, true-hearted, and brilliant ladies in American
+society, will add to the good fortune of a book, the intrinsic
+excellence and beauty of which will secure for it a place among the
+standard creations of female genius."--_Home Journal._

+"The volume is a most luxurious and gorgeous one, reflecting the highest
+credit on its 'getters up;' and we know of nothing from the American

+for the centre-table. Of the Poems themselves it is needless to
+speak."--_Y. Blade._
+
+"In the arts of typography the volume is unsurpassed; the illustrations
+are numerous and beautiful, and the binder's skill has done its best. We
+shall speak only of the externals of the volume. Of its contents we will
+not speak flippantly, nor is it needful that we should say any thing.
+The name of Mrs. Sigourney is familiar in every cottage in America. She

+HISTORICAL AND SECRET MEMOIRS OF THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE,
+(Marie Rose Tascher de la Pagerie,)
+FIRST WIFE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.
+
+BY MLLE. M. A. LE NORMAND.
+
+_Translated from the French by Jacob M. Howard, Esq._
+
+In 2 vols., 700 pages, muslin extra gilt.
+
+"It possesses great intrinsic interest. It is a chequered exhibition of
+the _undress life_ of Napoleon. All the glitter and pomp and dust of
+glory which bewilder the mind is laid; and we behold not the hero, the
+emperor, the guide and moulder of destiny, but a poor sickly child and
+creature of circumstance--affrighted by shadows and tortured by
+straws."--_Philada. City Item._
+
+"This is one of the most interesting works of the day, containing a
+multiplicity of incidents in the life of Josephine and her renowned
+husband, which have never before been in print."--_N. O. Times._
+
+"This is a work of high and commanding interest, and derives great
+additional value from the fact asserted by the authoress, that the
+greater portion of it was written by the empress herself. It has a vast
+amount of information on the subject of Napoleon's career, with copies
+of original documents not to be found elsewhere, and with copious notes
+at the end of the work."--_N. O. Com. Bulletin_.
+
+"Affords the reader a clearer insight into the private character of
+Napoleon than he can obtain through any other source."--_Baltimore
+American._
+
+"They are agreeably and well written; and it would be strange if it were
+not so, enjoying as Josephine did, familiar colloquial intercourse with
+the most distinguished men and minds of the age. The work does not,
+apparently, suffer by translation."--_Baltimore Patriot._
+
+"It is the history--in part the secret history, written by her own hand
+with rare elegance and force, and at times with surpassing pathos--of
+the remarkable woman who, by the greatness of her spirit was worthy to
+be the wife of the soaring Napoleon. It combines all the value of
+authentic history with the absorbing interest of an autobiography or
+exciting romance."--_Item._

+
+"The author of this work--for it is well entitled to the name of an
+original production, though mainly consisting of translations--Frederick
+H. Hedge of Bangor, is qualified, as few men are in this country, or
+wherever the English language is written, for the successful
+accomplishment of the great literary enterprise to which he has devoted
+his leisure for several years.
+
+"Mr. Hedge has displayed great wisdom in the selection of the pieces to
+be translated; he has given the best specimens of the best authors, so
+far as was possible in his limited space.
+
+"We venture to say that there cannot be crowded into the same compass a
+more faithful representation of the German mind, or a richer exhibition
+of the profound thought, subtle speculation, massive learning and genial
+temper, that characterize the most eminent literary men of that
+nation."--_Harbinger._
+
+"What excellent matter we here have. The choicest gems of exuberant
+fancy, the most polished productions of scholarship, the richest flow of
+the heart, the deepest lessons of wisdom, all translated so well by Mr.
+Hedge and his friends, that they seem to have been first written by
+masters of the English tongue."--_The City Item._
+
+"We have read the hook with rare pleasure, and have derived not less
+information than enjoyment."--_Knickerbocker._
+
+"The selections are judicious and tasteful, the biographies well written
+and comprehensive."--_Inquirer._
+
+
+NAPOLEON AND THE MARSHALS OF THE EMPIRE.
+
+Complete in 2 vols. 12mo.,
+
+_With 16 Steel Portraits in Military Costume_.
+
+Contents.
+
+Napoleon, Jourdan, Serrurier, Lannes, Brune, Perignon, Oudinot, Soult,
+Davoust, Massena, Murat, Mortier, Ney, Poniatowski, Grouchy, Bessieres,
+Berthier, Souchet, St. Cyr, Victor, Moncey, Marmont, Macdonald,
+Bernadotte, Augereau, Lefebvre, Kellermann.
+
+The biographies are twenty-seven in number--Napoleon and his twenty-six
+marshals, being all those created by him--and therefore these pages have
+a completeness about them which no other work of a similar design
+possesses.
+
+The style is clear and comprehensive, and the book may be relied upon
+for historical accuracy, as the materials have been drawn from sources
+the most authentic. The Conversations of Napoleon, with Montholon,
+Gourgaud, Las Cases and Dr. O'Meara have all been consulted as the true
+basis upon which the lives of Napoleon and his commanders under him
+should be founded.
+
+"The article on Napoleon, which occupies the greater part of the first
+volume, is written in a clear and forcible style and displays marked
+ability in the author. Particular attention has been paid to the early
+portion of Napoleon's life, which other writers have hurriedly
+dispatched as though they were impatient to arrive at the opening
+glories of his great career."--_N. Y. Mirror._
+
+"The lives of the Marshals and their Chief, the military paladins of the
+gorgeous modern romance of the 'Empire,' are given with historic
+accuracy and without exaggeration of fact, style or
+language."--_Baltimore Patriot._
+
+"We have long been convinced that the character of Napoleon would never
+receive 'even handed justice' until some impartial and intelligent
+American should undertake the task of weighing his merits and demerits.
+In the present volume this has been done with great judgment. We do not
+know the author of the paper on Napoleon, but whoever he may he, allow
+us to say to him that he has executed his duty _better than any
+predecessor_."--_Evening Bulletin._
+
+"The style of this work is worthy of commendation--plain, pleasing and
+narrative, the proper style of history and biography in which the reader
+does not seek fancy sketches, and dashing vivid pictures, but what the
+work professes to contain, biographies. We commend this as a valuable
+library book worthy of preservation as a work of reference, after having
+been read."--_Balt. American._
+
+"This is the clearest, most concise, and most interesting life of
+Napoleon and his marshals which has yet been given to the public. The
+arrangement is judicious and the charm of the narrative continues
+unbroken to the end."--_City Item._
+
+"The publishers have spared no pains or expense in its production, and
+the best talent in the country has been engaged on its various
+histories. The style is plain and graphic, and the reader feels that he
+is perusing true history rather than the ramblings of a romantic
+mind."--_Lady's Book._
+
+"The result of these joint labors is a series of narratives, in which
+the events succeed each other so rapidly, and are of so marvelous a
+cast, as to require only the method in arrangement and the good taste in
+description which they have received from the hands of their authors.
+The inflated and the Ossianic have been happily avoided."--_Colonization
+Herald._
+
+"Their historical accuracy is unimpeachable, and many of them (the
+biographies) are stamped with originality of thought and opinion. The
+engravings are numerous and very fine. The book is well printed on fine
+white paper, and substantially bound. It deserves a place in all family
+and school libraries."--_Bulletin._
+
+"It abounds in graphic narratives of battles, anecdotes of the
+world-famed actors, and valuable historical information."--_Richmond
+Inquirer._
+
+"We receive, therefore, with real pleasure, this new publication, having
+assurance that great pains have been taken in the preparation of each
+individual biography, and especially in collating the various
+authorities upon the early history of the Emperor. There appears to be
+nowhere any attempt to blind the reader by dazzling epithets, and the
+accuracy of construction throughout is highly creditable to the
+editor."--_Commercial Advertiser N. Y._
+
+"The style is simplicity itself, wholly free from the amusing pomposity
+and absurd inflation that distinguish some of the works which have gone
+before it."

+"The object of this work is to 'catch the manners living as they rise'
+in connection with the antagonisms of the present day--'_novelties which
+disturb the peace_'--as Swedenborgianism, Transcendentalism, Fourierism,
+and other _isms_. The author has made these pages the vehicle of

+"Peter, as our readers may recollect, sold his shadow to a Gentleman in

+author, whoever he may be, has read much, and been at least 'a looker on
+in Venice,' if not a participator of the follies of fashionable life.
+
+"The theological and political criticism is inwoven with a tale of
+fashionable life, and the reader becomes not a little interested in the

+is neatly published, and will be extensively read."--_Bulletin._
+
+"We shall be greatly mistaken if this book does not kick up a whole

+
+"The work is characterized by much learning and sincere feeling."--_N.

+
+"One of the most entertaining works we have read for many a day, as well
+as one of the best written. Who the author is we know not; but we do
+know that the book will meet with a rapid sale wherever an inkling of
+its character leaks out. For watering places, or anywhere, during the
+hot weather, it is worth its weight in--gold we almost said. It is full
+of everything of the best, and you can scarcely open it at random
+without striking upon some sketch or dialogue to enchain the
+attention."--_Germantown Telegraph._
+
+"His stock of knowledge is large; and as his conscience is rectified by
+Christian principle, and his heart beats in unison with the right and
+the true, he uses his treasures of information only for good purposes.
+
+"The book belongs to that class of _novels_ which make an interesting
+story the medium for the communication of important truth. In many
+respects it is a peculiar work, differing from all others in both design
+and execution, and leaving the impression that it is the product of a
+mind of no ordinary power. ...
+
+"Those who love to _think_ and _feel_, as the result of truthful
+thought, will read the book with interest and profit."--_Reflector &
+Watchman._
+
+"A rare book. Who in the world wrote it? Here are nearly five hundred
+pages with gems on every one of them. The satire is equal to that of Don
+Quixote or Asmodeus. The hits at society in this country are admirable
+and well pointed. The humbugs of the day are skillfully shown up, and
+the morals of the book are unexceptionable. The author cannot long
+escape detection, in spite of his shadowy concealment, and if a new
+practitioner he will jump to the head of his profession at
+once."--_Godey's Lady's Book._
+
+"We are prepared to say, that Peter Schlemihl is an exceedingly clear
+and well-written work--that the author has displayed a considerable
+amount of book lore in its composition--that the story is interesting
+and instructive--that we have been entertained and edified by its
+perusal, and that it possesses merits of more than ordinary character.
+We cordially recommend it to the reading community, since we are sure
+that they will be benefitted as well as entertained by the revelations
+contained in the pages of Peter."--_The National Era._
+
+"A strangely conceived and ably executed work."--_N. O. Com. Times._
+
+"The work forms a consecutive tale, all along which runs a vein of
+severe satire, and which at every step is illustrated by a vast deal of
+valuable information, and the inculcation of sound principles of
+morality and religion. It is a work which is adapted to do good, suited
+to all intelligent general readers, and a pleasant companion for the
+scholar's leisure hours."--_N. Y. Recorder._
+
+"This is a very remarkable production, and unless we are greatly
+deceived, it is from a new hand at the literary forge. We have read
+every page of this thick volume, and have been strongly reminded of
+Southey's great book, _The Doctor_. The author of this work must be a
+man of close observation, much research, and if we are accurate in our
+estimate, he is a layman. ... This same book will make a sensation in
+many quarters, and will unquestionably create a name and reputation for
+its author, who forthwith takes his place among the best and keenest
+writers of our country. ... We commend it to the _gravest_ and _gayest_
+of our readers, and assure them that our own copy will not go off our
+table until another winter has passed away."--_N. Y. Alliance and

+
+"The volume cannot fail to be read extensively and do good. The popular
+'_isms_' of the day, their folly and injurious tendency, are descanted
+upon with mingled gravity and humor, and considerable talent and
+truthful feeling are shown in the discussion. Whether the book have an
+immediate _run_ or not, the soundness of its views, delivered with some
+quaintness of style, will insure it permanent popularity."--_N. York

+PUBLISHED BY A. HART.
+
+Now ready, in 1 vol. post 8vo., price $1 25, with Portraits, WASHINGTON
+AND THE GENERALS OF THE REVOLUTION.
+
+BY VARIOUS EMINENT AUTHORS.
+
+CONTAINING
+
+_Biographical Sketches of all the Major and Brigadier Generals who acted
+under commissions from Congress during the Revolutionary War._
+
+We hail these beautiful volumes with undisguised delight. They supply,
+in a dignified and comprehensive form, valuable information, which will
+be sought with avidity, not only by the American public, but by the
+world at large. The want of a work of _positive authority_ on this
+subject has long been felt and deplored. The enterprise and good taste
+of Messrs. Carey and Hart have given us two handsome and reliable
+volumes, betraying industry and talent, and replete with facts of the
+deepest interest. There is no idle romancing--no school-boy attempts at
+rhetorical display; on the contrary, the work is written in a clear,
+unaffected, business-like, yet beautiful manner. The authors had the
+good sense to think that the stirring events of "the times that tried
+men's souls," needed no embellishment. It is a complete, impartial, and
+well written history of the American Revolution, and, at the same time,
+a faithful biography of the most distinguished actors in that great
+struggle, whose memories are enshrined in our hearts. The typographical
+execution of the work is excellent, and the sixteen portraits on steel
+are remarkably well done. The first volume is embellished with a
+life-like portrait of Washington mounted on his charger, from Sully's
+picture, "_Quelling the Whisky Riots_." This is, we believe, the first
+engraving taken from it. There are biographies of _eighty-eight
+Generals_, beginning with "the Father of his country," and closing with
+General Maxwell. To accomplish this task, we are assured that "the
+accessible published and unpublished memoirs, correspondence, and other
+materials relating to the period, have been carefully examined and
+faithfully reflected." We earnestly commend this work. It will be found
+an unerring record of the most interesting portion of our history.--_The
+City Item._
+
+This work differs from Mr. Headley's, having nearly the same title, in
+many important particulars; and _as an historical book is much
+superior_.--_N. Y. Com. Advertiser._
+
+Certainly the most comprehensive and individualized work that has ever
+been published on the subject--each member of the great _dramatis
+personæ_ of the Revolutionary tragedy, standing out in bold and
+"sculptured" relief on his own glorious deeds.--_Saturday Courier._
+
+This work is very different affair from the flashy and superficial book
+of the Rev. J. T. Headley entitled "Washington and the Generals." It
+appears without the name of any author, because it is the joint
+production of many of the most eminent writers in the country, resident
+in various states in the Union, and having, from the circumstance,
+access to original materials in private hands, and to public archives
+not accessible to any one individual without long journey and much
+consumption of time. The result, however, is a complete and authentic
+work, embracing biographical notices of every one of the Revolutionary
+Generals. The amount of fresh and original matter thus brought together
+in these moderate-sized volumes, is not less surprising than it is
+gratifying to the historical reader. This will become a standard book of
+reference, and will maintain its place in libraries long after the
+present generation shall have enjoyed the gratification of perusing its
+interesting pages, exhibiting in a lively style the personal adventures
+and private characters of the sturdy defenders of American
+Independence.--_Scott's Weekly Newspaper._
+
+The author's name is not given, and from what we have read, we presume
+that various pens have been employed in these interesting biographies.
+This is no disadvantage, but, on the contrary, a decided benefit, for it
+insures greater accuracy than could be looked for in such a series of
+biographies written by one person in a few months. The volumes are
+published in a very handsome style. The first sixty pages are occupied
+with the biography of Washington, which is written with force and
+elegance, and illustrated by an original view of the character of that
+great man.... The number of the biographies in these volumes is much
+greater than that of Mr. Headley's work. There are eighty-eight distinct
+subjects.--_N. Y. Mirror._
+
+We have read a number of the articles, find them to be written with
+ability, and to possess a deep interest. The author has manifested
+excellent judgment in avoiding all ambitious attempts at what is styled
+_fine writing_; but gives a connected recital of the important events in
+the lives of his heroes. The work will be highly interesting and
+valuable to all readers--particularly so to youth, who are always
+attracted by biographies. If a father wishes to present to his sons
+noble instances of uncorrupted and incorruptible patriotism, let him
+place this work in their hands. It should have a place in every American
+library, and is among the most valuable books of the season.--_Baltimore

+
+"The materials of which these volumes are composed are of great value.
+They consist of correspondence, now first given to the world, of
+Washington, the elder Adams, Ames, John Marshall, Rufus King, Timothy
+Pickering, Wolcott, &c. There are thirty-seven original letters from
+Alexander Hamilton, many of them of the highest interest; one in which
+the writer with keen sagacity and all the splendor of his eloquence,
+gives a character of Mr. Burr upon which his own fate was destined to
+put the seal of truth, is read now with singular emotions. Mr. Gibbs has
+performed his task extremely well. His preface is modest and dignified.
+The passages of narrative by which the letters are connected are
+accurate, judicious and agreeable; they illustrate, and do not overlay
+the principal material of the work."--_North American._
+
+"Here we meet, illustrated in something like forty important letters,
+the blazing intelligence, the practical sagacity, the heroic generosity,
+the various genius, which have made Hamilton the name of statesmanship
+and greatness, rather than the name of a man. Here we have the piercing
+judgment of John Marshall, unsusceptible of error, whose capacity to see
+the truth was equalled only by his power of compelling others to receive
+it; in the light of whose logic opinions appeared to assume the nature
+of facts, and truth acquires the palpableness of a material reality; the
+bluntness, force and probity of Pickering; the sterling excellences of
+Wolcott himself, who had no artifices and no concealments; because his
+strength was too great to require them, and his purposes too pure to
+admit them; and sounding as an understrain through the whole, the

+MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENS OF FRANCE, BY MRS. FORBES BUSH.
+
+FROM THE SECOND LONDON EDITION.
+
+_In Two Volumes 12mo., with Portraits, $2._
+
+"Mrs. Forbes Bush is a graceful writer, and in the work before us has
+selected the prominent features in the lives of the Queens with a great
+deal of judgement and discrimination. These memoirs will be found not
+only peculiarly interesting, but also instructive, as throwing
+considerable light upon the manners and customs of past ages."--_Western
+Continent._
+
+"We have looked over the lives of some of the Queens, presented in Mr.
+A. Hart's new volumes, with great interest. While none are devoid of
+some degree of attraction, the most of them have a charm about their
+person or character exceeding any thing we find in the most popular
+romances. They are full of sentiment and romance, rendered all the more
+touching from the graceful drapery in which they are adorned, and by the
+truthfulness of which the reader is strongly impressed. It is of course
+doubly attractive, in reading the strongly marked characters of history,
+to feel a conviction of the truth, with which ever the wildest and most
+thrilling incidents are invested. The Lives of these fair ladies are
+full of instruction, a merit that mere romance seldom possesses. The
+Author, Mrs. Forbes Bush, commences with Queen Basine, in the reign of
+Childeric I., or about four hundred years after the commencement of the
+Christian era. The volumes close with the late Queen of the French,
+Marie Amelie."--_Saturday Courier._

+before been produced in the United States. The Annalist will enjoy a
+peerless fame--we trust his work will be universally bought and read."
+"No American who can read should be without a copy of this invaluable
+contribution to our early American history." "It seems to convey us back
+to other times--we see things as they were--_minutely and particularly_,
+and not as presented in stately and buskined history, in one general
+view--vague, glimmering, indistinct." "This is in truth a work without
+example for its imitation, and with equal truth it is in execution a
+work _sui generis_." "It is a museum that will never cease to attract.
+It deserves the gratitude of the country and the patronage of the
+reading community. It will furnish the historian, the biographer, and
+the patriotic orator, with matter to adorn and beautify their
+productions."

+do credit to Messrs. Cichowski and Duval, while the description is no
+less creditable to the author. We have examined the book with care, and
+feel great pleasure in declaring that, in our opinion, it is a most
+valuable addition to the surgical literature of the United States. It
+was a happy idea to illustrate this department of surgery, as it renders
+perfectly clear what the very best verbal description often leaves
+obscure, and is, to some extent, a substitute for witnessing operations.
+To those practitioners especially, who are called upon occasionally,
+only, to perform operations, we are not acquainted with any volume
+better calculated for reference prior to using the knife. There are
+similar works published in Europe, but they are much more expensive,
+without being superior in point of usefulness to the very cheap volume
+before us.
+
+"All the modern operations for the cure of squinting, club-foot, and the
+replacing lost parts and repairing deformities from partial destruction
+of the nose, &c., are very clearly explained and prettily illustrated.
+It is questionable whether anything on this subject can be better
+adapted to its purpose, than Pancoast's Operative Surgery."--_Saturday

+
+THE ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND DISEASES OF THE TEETH AND GUMS, WITH THE
+MOST APPROVED METHODS OF TREATMENT, INCLUDING OPERATIONS, AND A GENERAL
+ACCOUNT OF THE METHOD OF MAKING AND SETTING Artificial Teeth.
+
+BY PAUL BECK GODDARD, M. D.,
+
+Professor of Anatomy and Histology in the Franklin College of
+Philadelphia.
+
+In One 4to. Volume, illustrated by 30 beautifully executed Plates, each
+containing Numerous Figures, handsomely bound in cloth.
+
+Price Six Dollars.
+
+_Uniform with "Quain's Anatomy," "Pancoast's Surgery," and "Moreau's
+Midwifery."_
+
+"We do not possess a modern work on Dental Surgery, written by a British
+Author, which equals that of Dr. Goddard.--One reason for this may arise
+from the circumstance, that the learned author is a practical anatomist,
+whose knowledge is on a level with the modern discoveries, and who has
+himself authenticated the latest researches into the minute anatomy of
+the dental structure. It is quite apparent that such knowledge must
+prove of immense value in enabling any one to arrive at just conclusions
+relative to the diseases of the teeth; and it is chiefly to be
+attributed to the want of such knowledge that most writers on Dental
+Surgery have erred so much relative to the causes and nature of these
+diseases. The work may confidently be recommended, as containing the
+_best and most approved methods of performing all the operations
+connected with Dental Surgery_.
+
+"We cannot close our remarks without adverting to the thirty very
+beautiful lithographs which illustrate the text. They render it quite
+impossible to misunderstand the author, and afford a very favorable
+example of the advanced state of the Art on the American
+Continent."--_Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal_, 1844.

+MOREAU'S Great Work on Midwifery
+
+A PRACTICAL TREATISE EXHIBITING THE PRESENT ADVANCED STATE OF THE
+SCIENCE.
+
+BY F. G. MOREAU.
+
+Translated from the French BY T. FOREST BETTON, M. D., AND EDITED BY
+PAUL BECK GODDARD, M. D.
+
+The whole illustrated by _Eighty Splendid Quarto Plates_, WHICH ARE
+EITHER The Size of Life, OR EXACTLY HALF THE SIZE.
+
+Upon which the first artists have been employed, and which are fully
+equal, if not superior, to the original, and the publishers can safely
+pronounce it THE MOST SPLENDID WORK ON MIDWIFERY EVER PUBLISHED.
+
+_Now complete in one large 4to. volume of the size of "Quain's Anatomy,"
+"Pancoast's Surgery," and "Goddard on the Teeth."_
+
+Price TEN DOLLARS, full bound in cloth
+
+"The work of Professor Moreau is a treasure of Obstetrical Science and
+Practice, and the American edition of it an elegant specimen of the
+arts."--_Medical Examiner, August, 1844._
+
+"A splendid quarto, containing eighty lithographic plates, true to the
+life has been some weeks before us--but we are groping our way through a
+mass of new works, with a full expectation of soon doing justice to the
+merits of this elaborate and truly beautiful work."--_Boston Med. and
+Surg. Journal._
+
+"Moreau's treatise is another valuable work upon the science of
+Midwifery, with eighty of the most splendid lithographic plates we have
+ever seen. THESE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE ENGRAVED WITH SO MUCH BEAUTY AND
+ACCURACY, AND UPON SO LARGE A SCALE, that they cannot fail to present to
+the eye the precise relation of the foetus and of the parts engaged in
+labor, under every condition and circumstance, from the commencement of
+the state of natural parturition, to the most difficult and complicated
+labor. The profession are greatly indebted to French industry in
+pathological and special anatomy for the continued advance in the
+science of Obstetrics; and the work before us may be regarded as the
+completion of all that has accumulated in this department of medical
+science, greatly enhanced in value by many valuable original
+suggestions, to the proper arrangement of which the author has devoted a
+great amount of labor. The translation is faithfully and elegantly done,
+and the work will be a valuable addition to the medical literature of
+our country."--_New York Journal of Medicine._

+_Opinions of the Press._
+
+"We take leave of our author with the declaration that his work is a
+monument of the most extraordinary industry. We have no hesitation in
+adding that it is the best book we possess in any language on the
+subject; and that should any of our readers desire to sail over the
+unbounded sea of letterpress formed of the history and pathology of the
+diseases of the cutaneous surface, M. Rayer should be his pilot."
+
+OF THE PLATES.--"Considered in this respect, but more especially in
+reference to the number of illustrations of the general species and
+varieties of such order which it contains, this Atlas far surpasses any
+that has yet appeared. _ON THE WHOLE RAYER'S ATLAS MAY CONSCIENTIOUSLY
+BE SAID TO CONTAIN THE MOST COMPLETE SERIES OF ILLUSTRATIONS OF
+CUTANEOUS DISEASES HITHERTO PUBLISHED, AND IS, BESIDES,_ not only
+cheaper than any other, but well worth the sum for which it is offered
+to the profession"--_British and Foreign Medical Review._

+RICORD
+ON EXTREME CASES OF VENEREAL DISEASES
+_Cured at the Venereal Hospital at Paris_.
+
+Under the direction of DR. PH. RICORD, with 276 elegantly coloured
+engravings, in one volume quarto, uniform with "Quain's Anatomical
+Plates," "Pancoast's Operative Surgery," &c. _Price $15, cloth, gilt._
+
+"This truly great work of M. Ricord, who is an American and a native, we
+believe, of Baltimore, though now the eminent hospital surgeon of Paris,
+has long been a desideratum in the English language. The immense expense
+of its publication, and especially the cost of the richly coloured
+engravings, which are an indispensable accompaniment of the text, has
+hitherto deterred publishers at home and abroad from its issue. The
+profession are largely indebted to Dr. Betton, the translator, and Dr.
+Goddard, who has prepared the work for the press, as also the
+enterprising publisher, who has brought out this magnificent book, in
+royal quarto, with its multiplied illustrations, in a style of
+excellence as respects typography, engraving, and colouring, which will
+do honour to American art. Of the value of this work it is unnecessary
+to say more than that it is and must continue to be a standard authority
+on a most important subject involving the interests of both science and
+humanity. The publisher deserves the patronage of the whole profession,
+for placing within the reach of all this noble contribution to our
+libraries."--_N. Y. Medical Gazette._

+THE AMERICAN COTTON SPINNER, AND MANAGERS' AND CARDERS' GUIDE: A
+PRACTICAL TREATISE ON COTTON SPINNING.
+
+Compiled from the Papers of the late Robert H. Baird.
+
+In One Volume, Cloth Gilt, Price $1.
+
+"This is a practical age, and it demands practical books. Of this class
+is the manual before us, addressing itself to a rapidly growing interest
+among us, and one, upon the prosperity of which depends, in a great
+measure, the destiny of the South. We have too long committed the fatal
+error of allowing Northern manufactories to convert our staple into the
+fabrics we require for use, losing by the process all the expenses of a
+double transportation, the profits of manufacturing, and sundry
+incidental costs of interest and exchange. With the increasing attention
+to manufactures in the South, arises the need of information upon all
+their appliances and workings, and much that is valuable of this nature
+is found in the book before us. Mr. Baird was an expert and successful
+cotton-spinner. His experience and observations are here afforded to his
+fellow-operatives, combined with the modern improvements in mechanics
+and methods. No intelligent man at the present day builds without
+'counting the cost,' or enters upon a field of labour without a
+comprehensive knowledge of its capabilities and requirements. To those
+proposing to erect small factories, or now conducting them, the treatise
+before us could not fail to be of service, if well studied, and to such
+we commend it."--_Southern Literary Gazette._
+
+"Had we space we might go on to state a number of other equally
+interesting and important facts. The work from which much of the
+foregoing is taken, is published by Mr. A. Hart, and was compiled
+chiefly from the papers of the late Robert H. Baird, well known as an
+expert cotton-spinner. It is gratifying to see that so respectable a
+house as that of Mr. Hart has undertaken the publication of books of
+this kind, for we believe that our operatives should possess a
+theoretical as well as practical knowledge of their several trades. This
+work gives the dimensions and speed of machinery, draught and twist
+calculations, with notices of the most recent improvements. It must
+prove an invaluable hand-book to the manufacturer."--_Germantown
+Telegraph._
+
+"As the treatise now stands, it is a most complete and practical guide
+in the spinning of cotton. It gives the dimensions and speed of
+machinery, draught and twist calculations; together with rules and
+examples for making changes in the size and number of roving yarn. The
+work will be found of value, equally by operatives and mill-owners. It
+is issued in a very neat style."--_Arthur's Home Gazette._
+
+"'The American Cotton Spinner and Managers' and Carders' Guide,' a
+practical treatise on cotton-spinning, giving the dimensions and speed
+of machinery, draught and twist calculations, &c., with notices of
+recent improvements, together with rules and examples for making changes
+in the size of roving and yarn. This work is compiled from papers of the
+late Robert H. Baird, well known as an expert cotton-spinner, and will
+prove of great service to cotton-growers, mill-owners, and
+cotton-spinners. This book will undoubtedly meet with an extensive sale
+in the South, where attention is beginning to be turned in earnest to
+manufacturing as well as growing cotton."--_Drawing-room Journal._
+
+"This is one of the most interesting and valuable of the many excellent
+little treatises on mechanical and manufacturing pursuits which have
+been published by Mr. Hart. The construction and working of a
+cotton-factory are thoroughly explained. Buildings, main gearing,
+water-wheels, picking and spreading machines, cards and carding,
+drawing-frames, speeders, throstles and mule spinning, are elaborately
+discussed, and to those engaged in the production of cotton goods, the
+volume must be exceedingly useful. To political economists and others,
+who feel an interest in the great progress of our country, the
+historical and statistical portions of the book will also be of value.
+
+"'In 1770, there were exported to Liverpool from New York three bags of
+cotton wool; from Virginia and Maryland, four bags; and from North
+Carolina, three barrels. Last year England paid $71,984,616 to the
+United States for raw cotton, which sum is exclusive of that paid to
+other cotton-growing nations. In 1790 the first cotton-mill was erected
+in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. In 1850 the number of spindles in operation
+was computed at 2,500,000.' These facts are among the most signal
+evidences of the unexampled progress and prosperity of the country, and
+cannot be considered without emotions of pride and gratification."--_N.
+Y. Commercial Advertiser._
+
+"It is compiled from the papers of the late Robert H. Baird, well known
+as an expert cotton-spinner, and forms a practical treatise relative to
+spinning in all its departments and relations, the dimensions and speed
+of machinery, draught and twist calculations, &c. &c., which cannot but
+commend itself to the favourable attention of all connected with this
+important manufacturing interest."--_North American._

+
+"This volume is prepared on the same plan as that on Cotton Spinning,

+progress making in these branches, and in order to keep up with the age,
+such a book as this is absolutely necessary."--_Evening Bulletin._
+
+"Such a volume commends itself sufficiently to public favour by its
+title. The importance of possessing it is apparent at a glance, since
+the knowledge of a single one of these facts, or new discoveries in
+science and the useful arts, may very possibly be worth in cash to the
+buyer ten times the price of the book."--_Scott's Weekly._
