University of Virginia Library

HARPER'S FAMILY LIBRARY.

Books that you may hold readily in your hand are the most
useful, after all.—Dr. Johnson.

The above-named series, extending to 173 volumes,
comprises a rich and varied collection of works in the
several departments of literature, forming a most valuable
circle of useful, instructive, and entertaining knowledge,
adapted for popular use. The utmost care has been taken,
not only to exclude whatever can have an injurious influence
on the mind, but to embrace every thing calculated
to strengthen the best and most salutary impressions.

No family ought to be without this library, as it furnishes the readiest
resources for that education which ought to accompany or succeed that
of the boarding-school or the academy, and is infinitely more conducive
than either to the cultivation of the intellect.—Monthly Review.
