HAZARD AND MITCHELL'S PUBLICATIONS.
THE CHILD'S STORY BOOK
OF
ANIMALS.
With Twenty-four Engravings. Square 16mo.,
cloth, gilt.
This is an entirely new book, written for very young children,
by an experienced hand, and by a very popular author
with children. Its character is different from that of all the
other books of the kind that have been published, for they
are all written beyond the comprehension of very young
children, and contain too much scientific detail to interest
them. These descriptions are written in the same familiar
manner in which the author would converse with his children,
and contain entirely new and interesting stories. It is printed
with large type, and embellished with 24 spirited engravings
of the various animals. It is published with the plates plain
or coloured.
THE CHILD'S STORY BOOK
OF
BIRDS.
With Twenty-four Engravings. Square 16mo.,
cloth, gilt.
This beautiful little volume is written by the same author,
and in the same familiar, interesting style, as “The Child's
Story Book of Animals.” It is printed, bound, and illustrated
to match that popular volume, and at the same price.
A critic has said of them, “They are just the books that
have been wanted; no dry, scientific descriptions of animals,
that the little folks cannot understand, but sketches and stories
told in a delightful style, which must please the juveniles.
They made us feel like youngsters again whilst reading them.
We know of no better books to place in their hands, not only
to amuse but to instruct them.”
THE CHILD'S PANORAMA
OF
ANIMALS,
AND
THE CHILD'S PANORAMA
OF
BIRDS.
Each of these little books contains 24 brightly coloured pictures;
the one, of Animals, and the other, of Birds. They
are expressly calculated for Picture Books for very little
folks, and from their attractive appearance, and the large
number of Engravings, must please them. Another novel
feature is, they are printed on a large sheet of thick, strong
paper, so that they can be either turned over like the leaves
of an ordinary book, or stretched out to display a brilliant
array of pictures, nine feet in length. Ask for

SKETCHES FROM REAL LIFE.
BY MRS. L. MARIA CHILD.
I. THE POWER OF KINDNESS,
II. HOME AND POLITICS.
With Four Illustrations. 1 vol., square 18mo.,
embossed cloth.
Mrs. Child is so well known, and her writings have exerted
so wide an influence for the good of her race, that it is only
sufficient to announce her new work to command an extensive
sale. This little volume contains two beautifully written
sketches, the scenes and incidents from every-day life; they
are, “Power of Kindness,” showing how evil passions and
brutal force can be overcome and guided by its influence; the
other, “Home and Politics,” denouncing by a powerfully
wrought example, one of the greatest curses which hangs
over the country. The interest excited by these sketches is
great, and, as they will be attentively read, must do a great
deal of good with both old and young.
TALES
OF
CITY LIFE.
BY CATHARINE M. SEDGWICK.
I. “THE CITY CLERK.”
II. “LIFE IS SWEET.”
With Four Illustrations. 1 vol., square 18mo.,
embossed cloth.
Who that has read “Home,” “Means and Ends,” “Poor
Rich Man and Rich Poor Man,” &c., by Miss Sedgwick,
will not desire to have these new Tales from her agreeable
pen? We venture to say that no one who reads this volume
will fail to be deeply interested in the character and fate of
“The City Clerk” and his sister, and will rejoice in the triumph
of innocence and honesty as developed in the story.
“Life is Sweet,” is one of the most beautiful essays that has
been written, and will tend to make every one more patient
with their lot in life, and to have a kindlier feeling toward his
neighbour. Like all of Miss Sedgwick's writings, these
Tales inculcate excellent principles, and should be in the
hands of every youth.
THE
GOSSIPS OF RIVERTOWN;
WITH
SKETCHES IN PROSE AND VERSE.
BY ALICE B. NEAL.
12mo., paper covers, 75 cents, or cloth, $1.
The “Gossips of Rivertown,” which forms a large part
of this volume, by that fascinating and agreeable writer, Mrs.
Alice B. Neal, has received unqualified praise from the press
in all parts of the country. To the readers of Neal's Saturday
Gazette and Godey's Lady's Book, she is too well known
to need commendation, but those who have not read her
sketches should obtain this volume. It forms a suitable companion
to “Greenwood Leaves” and “Fanny Forester's Alderbrook.”
It is beautifully printed from new type, on the
best paper, and embellished with a very correct likeness of
the author, engraved on steel. We have published it at a
very low price, in order that every one may possess it, and it
may thus command that extensive sale which it so richly
merits.
