The Career of John Mortal, A MAN WHO ENJOYED THIS LIFE. _Illustrated with several Engravings._ _PRICE TWENTY-FIVE CENTS._ This volume presents several rapid and startling pictures of the career of a man who enjoyed all the pleasures and profits of this world, and neglected to honor God. John Mortal gained the whole world, and lost his own soul. The style of the composition is partly allegorical and partly narrative. It claims no credit for literary excellence, but is published with the hope of arresting the attention of those who neglect to read works of a heavier and more solemn appearance, and impressing their minds with the worthlessness of human vanities and honors. _Table of Contents._ PART I.
