Handsomely printed. 12mo. cloth, 75 cents. Pearls of American Poetry. Second edition, superbly illuminated in the manner of the ancient missals by T. W. Gwilt Mapleson, Esq. Printed in gold and colors on Bristol board. Elegantly and strongly bound in full Morocco, Antique style. One volume quarto, $12. * * * Of this splendid and costly work, a small number were issued for this season, but it was not ready for actual publication. It is now completed in a superior style, and is the most splendid book of the time. "On beautiful vellum paper, are printed in colored characters and with every variety of type, some of the choicest brief poems of American writers--Bryant, Longfellow, C. F. Hoffman, and others. Each initial letter is a picture, and each page is illuminated as exquisitely as any of the choicest of antique illuminated volumes--and all from original designs. The conception of these works of art, as they richly deserve to be called, the drawing, painting, gilding, are of the highest order. The binding is in keeping with the rest--that of the olden day--solid, rich, and tasteful. Altogether this is a volume of great attraction for the rare beauty of its adorning and the discrimination of its selections."--_Courier._ Princeton Theological Essays. First Series.
