to which Dr. Cone belonged, as well as by thousands of his own denominational friends and admirers."--_Christian Secretary, Hartford._ LIVERMORE & RUDD, PUBLISHERS, 310 BROADWAY, N.Y. Agents wanted to Canvass every County in the United States, who can make from $5 to $10 a day in selling the above popular work. Copies sent (_post paid_), to any part of the country, on receipt of $1.25. A New Book by the Author of "Our World!" A WORK OF GREAT POWER AND INTEREST. JUSTICE IN THE BY-WAYS. BY F.C. ADAMS. _12mo., Cloth, $1.25._ The _Evening Post_ of June 23d says: "Shortly will be published a new work, entitled 'JUSTICE IN THE BY-WAYS,' from the pen of F.C. ADAMS, author of the popular anti-slavery novel 'OUR WORLD.' "It presents a life-like picture of that peculiar civilization which of late has so signally blossomed in the ruffianly achievement of Brooks. * * * * * "Mr. ADAMS, the author, formerly editor of the _Savannah Georgian_, is qualified by a residence of five years among the nullifiers of the Palmetto State to exhibit a correct and graphic likeness of their society and manners." This is emphatically a work of our age. Its life is its TRUTH. Its breath its FACT. It is history in the guise of fiction, history whose accuracy is attested by public records and State documents. Each character is a living reality. It is a book eminently suggestive of much needed moral reforms. It is not sectional. It hits North and South. It shows the social evils generated by Slavery in the one, and by neglected poverty in the other. It pictures the follies and vices of worn-out Southern chivalry; the crimes of the forsaken wretches in the Five Points; and the sordid sin which luxuriates in our Fifth Avenue palaces. It portrays how those who the world regard as beacons illuminating the paths of virtue, grovel in sensuality--sought and loved for its own sake; whilst the neglected of the world, in their depths of degradation, yet emit some rays--feeble though they be--of a soul within. In fine, it teaches the practical lesson that it would become the great to learn how a true use of their wealth and influence may benefit poor fallen humanity. LIVERMORE & RUDD, PUBLISHERS, 310 BROADWAY, N.Y. W.H. Tinson, Stereotyper, 24 Bookman street. A Work of Unusual Interest and Merit! TO BE PUBLISHED EARLY IN SEPTEMBER, THE PAWNBROKER. OR, THE WAGES OF AVARICE.
