esses. Edited with a Preface and
Memoir by Horace Greely, New York: Harper & Brothers._
This is a large and beautiful octavo, and is embellished with an
admirable likeness of Mr. Clay. The people of this country are so well
acquainted with the peculiarities of Cassius M. Clay's manner, that we
will not pause to characterize it; and his views upon public subjects
are so partisan that we leave their discussion to the politicians of
the country. The eminent abilities of Mr. Greely are displayed in the
execution of the duties of editor; and the memoir which introduces the
work does full justice to the subject.
_The Odd Fellows' Amulet, or the Principles of Odd
Fellowship Defined; the Objections to the Order
Answered, and its Advantages Maintained. By Rev. D. W.
Bristol. Auburn: Derby, Miller & Co._
This is a beautiful little volume, admirably illustrated. It is well
written; will be read with interest by the general reader, and should
be in the possession of every member of the great and beneficent order
which it advocates and vindicates.
_The Baronet's Daughters, and Harry Monk._
Mrs. Grey, who is recognized as one of the most accomplished female
novelists of the present day, has recently given to the public another
interesting volume, bearing the above title. There are two stories,
both of which are marked by the ability which characterizes the whole
of Mrs. Grey's works, and are well calculated to make a sultry
afternoon pass agreeably away. The American publisher is Mr. T. B.
Peterson, who furnishes a neat and uniform edition of Mrs. Grey's
novels.
TO OUR READERS.
The Proprietors of "Graham's Magazine," desirous of maintaining for it
the high reputation it has secured in the estimation of the people of
the United States, are determined to spare no pains to increase its
value, and make it universally regarded as the best literary
publication in the country. To this end they have placed in the hands
of several of our best engravers a series of plates, which will be
truly remarkable for their superiority in design and execution. As
usual, the pens of the best American writers will be employed in
giving grace and excellence to its pages, and in addition to articles
which have been secured from new contributors of acknowledged ability,
they have the pleasure of announcing that an engagement has been
effected with J. BAYARD TAYLOR, Esq., whose writings are so
extensively kn
