English nobleman, who assures his readers that
he can only vouch for the anecdotes he has recorded by assuring said
readers that he believes them himself. To all such as are willing to
receive the author's "impressions" as vouchers, this work will therefore

THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FROM THE ADOPTION OF THE
FEDERAL CONSTITUTION TO THE END OF THE SIXTEENTH CONGRESS. By Richard
Hildreth. In three volumes. Vol. I. Administration of Washington. The
American public have already been placed under obligations to Mr.
Hildreth for the colonial and revolutionary history of this country, and
here we have the first volume of a work which promises, as a correct
record and review of important events, to be equally interesting to the
political, philosophical, and commercial student.

JANE BOUVERIE; OR, PROSPERITY AND ADVERSITY. By Catherine Sinclair,
author of "Sir Edward Graham," etc. The intention of the author of this
excellent little volume, as she declares herself, was to develop,
through the more attractive medium of a story, the trials, the duties,
and the pleasures of domestic life. Her laudable intentions have been
crowned with a success which will commend her work to the consideration
of judicious readers of every class.

SALANDER AND THE DRAGON. _A Romance of Hartz Prison._ By Frederic
William Shelton, M. A., of St. John's Church, Huntington, N. J. A very
interesting little allegory, in which the author has admirably succeeded
in his design of illustrating the danger of uttering, or of lending a
willing ear to, unkind words and insinuations against the reputations of
neighbors and acquaintances. It is peculiarly adapted for the younger
classes of readers, and will doubtless have a tendency to establish in
their minds the importance of a strict adherence to the principles of
justice and charity.

LAVANGRO; _the Scholar, the Gipsy, the Priest_. By George Borrow, author
of "The Bible in Spain," and "The Gipseys of Spain." Same agent.
