WRITINGS OF WASHINGTON.
The Life and Writings of George Washington, with Notes
and Illustrations by Jared Sparks. In 12 vols. royal 8vo.☞This national work will be completed early in May
next. The first volume is now in press, and will be expressly
devoted to a Biography of Washington, written
with reference to his personal acts and character; and
will be beautifully embellished with three new Portraits—
one of Mrs. Washington, taken the year she was married—
one taken by Stuart when she was 60, and one of Washington,
taken when he was 40 years old.EVERETT'S ORATIONS.
Orations and Speeches of Edward Everett, Governor of Massachusetts,
in one volume, royal octavo; comprising all his
Orations from 1823 to 1836.THE YOUNG LADIES' FRIEND,
BY MRS. FARRAR, OF CAMBRIDGE.☞This popular work has already run through five editions
in the space of three months. It is written with great
originality and independence, and has received the highest
praise from the most discriminating judges. It is its purpose
to enter into details which are not to be found in the
longer and graver treatises on religion and morals; and
to point out the means of acquiring those lesser graces of
character and manners, which adorn and set off to the
best advantage the more solid qualities. Among numerous
testimonials to its value, we select the following:“I consider the Young Ladies' Friend a Manual of Christian politeness.
It inculcates a constant regard to the happiness of others and points out the
means to promote it.”—Rev. Professor Norton.
“I have never seen so sensible and so useful a book. It ought to be an
indispensable addition to every family library. It would save parents a great
deal of trouble, and young people (of all ages), a great deal of mortification.
The book is invaluable.”—N. P. Willis, Esq.
