1st of October. The Life and Voyages of Columbus, Vol. I. on the 1st of November, and the succeeding volumes will be issued on the first day of each month until completed;--as follows: _The Sketch-Book, in one volume. Knickerbocker's New York, in one volume. Tales of a Traveller, in one volume. Bracebridge Hall, in one volume. The Conquest of Grenada, in one volume. The Alhambra, in one volume. The Spanish Legends, in one vol. The Crayon Miscellany, in one vol.--Abbotsford, Newstead, The Prairies, &c. Life and Voyages of Columbus, and The Companions of Columbus, 2 vols. Adventures of Captain Bonneville, one vol. Astoria, one volume._ The Illustrated Sketch-Book. In October will be published, The Sketch-Book. BY WASHINGTON IRVING. One volume, square octavo. Illustrated with a series of highly-finished Engravings on wood, from Designs by Darley and others, engraved in the best style by Childs, Herrick, &c.

It is intended that the illustrations shall be superior to any engravings on wood yet produced in this country, and that the mechanical execution of the volume, altogether, shall be worthy of the author's reputation. It will form an elegant and appropriate gift-book for all seasons. The Illustrated Knickerbocker, With a series of Original Designs, in one vol., octavo, is also in preparation. Mr. Putnam has also the honor to announce that he will publish at intervals (in connexion, and uniform with the other collected writings), _Mr. Irving's New Works_, now nearly ready for the press: including The Life of Mohammed; The Life of Washington; new volumes of Miscellanies, Biographies, &c. * * * This being the first uniform and complete edition of Mr. Irving's works, either in this country or in Europe, the publisher confidently believes that the undertaking will meet with a prompt and cordial response. To say this, is perhaps superfluous and impertinent; for it is a truism that no _American_ book-case (not to say _library_) can be well filled without the works of Washington Irving; while the English language itself comprises no purer models of composition. G. P. Putnam has also made arrangements for the early commencement of new works or new editions of the works of _Miss C. M.
