of the author, over 600 pages octavo, with fine tinted engravings. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. In this volume may be found a "moral suasion," which cannot but effect for good all who read. The mechanical execution of the work is very beautiful throughout.--_New Haven Palladium_. It is by far the most valuable book ever published of his works, inasmuch as it is enriched with a very interesting, though brief autobiography.--_American Courier_. No family library is complete without a copy of this book--_Scott's Weekly Paper_. No better or worthier present could be made to the young, no offering more pure, charitable, and practicable, could be tendered to those who are interested in the truly benevolent reforms of the day.--_Godey's Lady's Book_. The paper, the engravings, the binding, and the literary contents, are all calculated to make it a favourite.--_Penn. Inquirer_. This volume cannot be too highly recommended.--_N.Y. Tribune_. More good has been effected, than by any other single medium that we know of.--_N.Y. Sun_. The work should be upon the centre-table of every parent in the land.--_National Temperance Magazine_. A single story is worth the price charged for the book.--_Union, Newburyport, Mass_. ARTHUR'S SKETCHES OF LIFE AND CHARACTER, an octavo volume of over 400 pages, beautifully illustrated, and bound in the best English muslin, gilt. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. The present volume, containing more than four hundred finely-printed octavo pages, is illustrated by spirited engravings, and made particularly valuable to those who like to "see the face of him they talk withal," by a correct likeness of the author, finely engraved on steel.--_Neal's Gazette_. In the princely mansions of the Atlantic merchants, and in the rude log cabins of the backwoodsman, the name of Arthur is equally known and cherished as the friend of virtue.--_Graham's Magazine_. We would not exchange our copy of these sketches, with its story of "The Methodist Preacher," for any one of the gilt-edged and embossed annuals which we have yet seen.--_Lady's National Magazine_. The first story in the volume, entitled, "The Methodist Preacher, or Lights and Shadows in the Life of an Itinerant," is alone worth the price of the work.--_Evening Bulletin_. I
