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_.
