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.
