Swallow Barn, or A sojourn in the Old Dominion

“This work appears to improve as it issues from the press. The number of
able writers, who contribute original matter in all the departments of literature
and science is amply sufficient to give it celebrity and high character. To men
engaged in the active pursuits of life—whose time is precious—this popular dictionary
is a most valuable and ready mode of reference. It embraces brief
views and sketches of all the late discoveries in science—and the present condition
of literature, politics, &c. &c. Every merchant's counting-room—every
lawyer's library—every mechanic—every farmer ought to possess a copy of this
useful and valuable work.”

—Courier.

“From the specimen which has already been given, we have no hesitation in
saying, that in regard to intelligence, skill, and faithful diligence, it is a work
of the very highest order. We know of no similar publication that can bear
any comparison with it for the rich variety of valuable information, which it
condenses within so small a compass. It is free from all the narrowness of English
prejudice, it contains many important and interesting details which can be
found in no English production, and is a work which could be written by none
but German scholars, more than two hundred of whom were employed in the
original compilation.”

—Boston Observer.

“This cannot but prove a valuable addition to the literature of the age.”

—
Mer. Advertiser.

“The vast circulation this work has had in Europe, where it has already been
reprinted in four or five languages, not to speak of the numerous German editions,
of which SEVEN have been published, speaks loudly in favor of its intrinsic
merit, without which such a celebrity could never have been attained. To every
man engaged in public business, who needs a correct and ample book of reference
on various topics of science and letters, the Encyclopædia Americana will
be almost invaluable. To individuals obliged to go to situations where books
are neither numerous nor easily procured, the rich contents of these twelve volumes
will prove a mine which will amply repay its purchaser, and be with difficulty
exhausted; and we recommend it to their patronage in the full conviction
of its worth. Indeed, it is difficult to say to what class of readers such a book
would not prove useful, nay, almost indispensable, since it combines a great
amount of valuable matter in small compass, and at moderate expense, and is
in every respect well suited to augment the reader's stock of ideas, and powers
of conversation, without severely taxing time or fatiguing attention.”

—Am.
Daily Advertiser.

“The department of American Biography, a subject of which it should be disgraceful
to be ignorant, to the degree that many are, is, in this work, a prominent
feature, and has received the attention of one of the most indefatigable
writers in this department of literature, which the present age can furnish.”

—
Boston Courier.

“According to the plan of Dr. Lieber, a desideratum will be supplied; the substance
of contemporary knowledge will be brought within a small compass;—
and the character and uses of a manual will be imparted to a kind of publication
heretofore reserved, on strong shelves, for occasional reference. By those
who understand the German language, the Conversation Lexicon is consulted ten
times for one application to any English Encyclopædia.”

—National Gazette.

“The volume now published is not only highly honorable to the taste, ability,
and industry of its editors and publishers, but furnishes a proud sample of the
accuracy and elegance with which the most elaborate and important literary
enterprises may now be accomplished in our country. Of the manner in which
the editors have thus far completed their task, it is impossible, in the course of a
brief newspaper article, to speak with adequate justice.”

—Boston Bulletin.

“It continues to be particularly rich in the departments of Biography and
Natural History. When we look at the large mass of miscellaneous knowledge
spread before the reader, in a form which has never been equalled for its condensation,
and conveyed in a style that cannot be surpassed for propriety and perspicuity,
we cannot but think that the American Encyclopædia deesrves a
place in every collection, in which works of reference form a portion.”

—Southern
Patriot.

“By far the best work of the kind ever offered for sale in this country.”

CABINET CYCLOPÆDIA,

CONDUCTED BY THE
REV. DIONYSIUS LARDNER, LL.D. F.R.S. L.&E.
M.R.I.A. F.L.S. F.Z.S. Hon. F.C.P.S. M. Ast. S. &c. &c.

ASSISTED BY
EMINENT LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC MEN.

Now Publishing by Carey & Lea, and for sale by all Booksellers.

This work will form a popular compendium of whatever is useful, instructive,
and interesting, in the circle of human knowledge. A novel plan of publication
and arrangement has been adopted, which presents peculiar advantages. Without
fully detailing the method, a few of these advantages may be mentioned.

Each volume will contain one or more subjects uninterrupted and unbroken,
and will be accompanied by the corresponding plates or other appropriate illustrations.
Facility of reference will be obtained without fettering the work by
a continued alphabetical arrangement. A subscriber may omit particular volumes
or sets of volumes, without disintegrating his series. Thus each purchaser
may form from the “Cabinet” a Cyclopædia, more or less comprehensive, as
may suit his means, taste, or profession. If a subscriber desire to discontinue
the work at any stage of its publication, the volumes which he may have received
will not lose their value by separation from the rest of the work, since
they will always either be complete in themselves, or may be made so at a trifling
expense.

The purchasers will never find their property in this work destroyed by the
publication of a second edition. The arrangement is such that particular volumes
may be re-edited or re-written without disturbing the others. The “Cabinet
Cyclopædia” will thus be in a state of continual renovation, keeping pace
with the never-ceasing improvements in knowledge, drawing within its circle
from year to year whatever is new, and casting off whatever is obsolete, so as to
form a constantly modernized Cyclopædia. Such are a few of the advantages
which the proprietors have to offer to the public, and which they pledge themselves
to realize.

Treatises on subjects which are technical and professional will be adapted,
not so much to those who desire to attain a practical proficiency, as to those
who seek that portion of information respecting such matters which is generally
expected from well-educated persons. An interest will be imparted to what is
abstract by copious illustrations, and the sciences will be rendered attractive, by
treating them with reference to the most familiar objects and occurrences.

The unwieldly bulk of Encyclopædias, not less than the abstruse discussions
which they contain, has hitherto consigned them to the library, as works of only
occasional reference. The present work, from its portable form and popular style,
will claim a place in the drawing-room and the boudoir. Forming in itself a
Complete Library, affording an extensive and infinitely varied store of instruction
and amusement, presenting just so much on every subject as those not professionally
engaged in it require, convenient in size, attractive in form, elegant
in illustrations, and most moderate in expense, the “Cabinet Cyclopædia” will,
it is hoped, be found an object of paramount interest in every family.

To the heads of schools and all places of public education the proprietors trust
that this work will particularly recommend itself.

It seems scarcely necessary to add, that nothing will be admitted into the
pages of the “Cabinet Cyclopædia” which can have the most remote tendency
to offend public or private morals. To enforce the cultivation of religion and
the practice of virtue should be a principal object with all who undertake to
inform the public mind; but with the views just explained, the conductor of this
work feels these considerations more especially pressed upon his attention.
Parents and guardians may, therefore, rest assured that they will never find it
necessary to place a volume of the “Cabinet” beyond the reach of their children
or pupils.

LARDNER'S CABINET CYCLOPÆDIA.

Considerable progress having been made in this work, the publishers
wish to direct the attention of the public to the advantages by which it
is distinguished from other similar monthly publications.

It is not intended that the Cabinet Cyclopædia shall form an interminable
series, in which any work of interest which may present itself from
time to time can claim a place. Its subjects are classified according to
the usual divisions of literature, science, and art. Each division is distinctly
traced out, and will consist of a determinate number of volumes. Although
the precise extent of the work cannot be fixed with certainty, yet
there is a limit which will not be exceeded; and the subscribers may look
forward to the possession, within a reasonable time, of a complete library
of instruction, amusement, and general reference, in the regular form of
a popular Cyclopædia.

The several classes of the work are—1, NATURAL PHILOSOPHY; 2,
The USEFUL and FINE ARTS; 3, NATURAL HISTORY; 4, GEOGRAPHY;
5, POLITICS and MORALS; 6, GENERAL LITERATURE
and CRITICISM; 7, HISTORY; 8, BIOGRAPHY.

In the above abstruse and technical departments of knowledge, an attempt
has been made to convey to the reader a general acquaintance with
these subjects, by the use of plain and familiar language, appropriate
and well-executed engravings, and copious examples and illustrations,
taken from objects and events with which every one is acquainted.

The proprietors formerly pledged themselves that no exertion should
be spared to obtain the support of the most distinguished talent of the age.
They trust that they have redeemed that pledge. Among the volumes
already published in the literary department, no less than four have been
the production of men who stand in the first rank of literary talent,—Sir
James Mackintosh and Sir Walter Scott. In the scientific department, a
work has been produced from the pen of Mr. Herschel, which has been
pronounced by the highest living authority on subjects of general philosophy,
to contain “the noblest observations on the value of knowledge
which have been made since Bacon,” and to be “the finest work of philosophical
genius which this age has seen.”

A TREATISE on ELECTRICITY and MAGNETISM. By M. Biot,
Member of the French Institute.

“BOOKS THAT YOU MAY CARRY TO THE FIRE, AND HOLD READILY IN YOUR
HAND, ARE THE MOST USEFUL AFTER ALL. A MAN WILL OFTEN LOOK AT
THEM, AND BE TEMPTED TO GO ON, WHEN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FRIGHTENED
AT BOOKS OF A LARGER SIZE, AND OF A MORE ERUDITE APPEARANCE.”

Dr. Johnson.

“We advisedly call the Cabinet Cyclopædia a great undertaking, because we
consider, that in its effects on the tone and habits of thought of what is known
by the phrase, `the reading public,' it will be, if carried through in the spirit of
its projection and commencement, one of the most invaluable productions of
modern literature.

“But these advantages, eminent as they undoubtedly are, are not the sole nor
the chief recommendations of the Cabinet Cyclopædia. Neither is it on the extreme
cheapness of the publication, nor the federal independence—if we may so
speak—of its several volumes, that we rest our prediction of its influence on the
tone of thinking of the present, and on the literature of the next generation—
but on the promise, amounting almost to a moral certainty, of the great excellence
of its execution. A multitude of persons eminent in literature and science
in the United kingdom are employed in this undertaking; and, indeed, no others
should be employed in it; for it is a truth that the profound and practised writer
alone is capable of furnishing a `popular compendium.'

“What parent or guardian that throws his eye over the list of its contributors
but must be rejoiced by meeting the names of those who are in themselves a
guarantee of intellectual and moral excellence?”

—Literary Gazette.

“The plan of the work appears well adapted to the purpose it is proposed to
fulfil—that of supplying a series of publications, embracing the whole range of
literature and science, in a popular and portable form; while the excellence of
the execution is guarantied by the judgment displayed in the selection of writers.
The list of authors employed in this ambitious undertaking comprises some of
the most eminent men of the present age.”

—Atlas.

“The Cyclopædia, when complete, will form a valuable work of reference, as
well as a most entertaining and instructive library. It is an essential principle
in every part of it, that it should be clear and easily understood, and that an
attempt should everywhere be made to unite accurate information with an
agreeable manner of conveying it. It is an experiment to try how much science
may be taught with little crabbed or technical language, and how far the philosophical
and poetical qualities of history may be preserved in its more condensed
state. It possesses also the most indispensable of all the qualities of a work
intended for general instruction—that of cheapness. Whatever the plan might
be, it was evident that the grand difficulty of Dr. Lardner was to unite a body
of writers in its execution, whose character or works afforded the most probable
hope that they were fitted for a task of which the peculiarity, the novelty, and
even the prevalent relish for such writings greatly enhance the difficulty. We
do not believe, that in the list of contributors, there is one name of which the
enlightened part of the public would desire the exclusion.

“In science, the list is not less promising. The names of the President, Vice-Presidents,
and most distinguished Fellows of the Royal Society, are contained
in it. A treatise on astronomy, by Herschel; on optics, by Brewster; and on
mechanics, by Lardner; need be only recommended by the subjects and the writers.
An eminent Prelate, of the first rank in science, has undertaken a noble
subject which happily combines philosophy with religion. Twelve of the most
distinguished naturalists of the age, Fellows of the Linnæan and Zoological
Societies, are preparing a course of natural history. Others not less eminent in
literature and science, whose names it is not needful yet to mention, have shown
symptoms of an ambition to take a place among such fellow-laborers.”

—Times.

“The topics, as may be supposed, are both judiciously selected and treated
with ability. To general readers, and as part of a family library, the volumes
already published possess great recommendations. For the external beauties of
good printing and paper they merit equal commendation.”

—Balt. American.

“The uniform neatness of these volumes, their very moderate price, and the
quantity of information which they contain, drawn from the best and most
attractive sources, have given them deserved celebrity, and no one who desires
to possess such information, should hesitate a moment to add them to his
library.”

—Fed. Gazette.

“This excellent work continues to increase in public favor, and to receive
fresh accessions of force to its corps of contributors.”

—Lit. Gazette.

“Its plan and arrangement are entitled to our best commendations.”

—Gent. Mag.

“It is not easy to devise a cure for such a state of things (the declining
taste for science;) but the most obvious remedy is to provide
the educated classes with a series of works on popular and practical
science, freed from mathematical symbols and technical terms,
written in simple and perspicuous language, and illustrated by facts
and experiments, which are level to the capacity of ordinary minds.”

Quarterly Review.

PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE ON THE OBJECTS, ADVANTAGES,
AND PLEASURES OF THE STUDY OF NATURAL
PHILOSOPHY. By J. T. W. Herschel, A. M. late Fellow
of St. John's College, Cambridge.

“Without disparaging any other of the many interesting and instructive volumes
issued in the form of cabinet and family libraries, it is, perhaps, not too
much to place at the head of the list, for extent and variety of condensed information,
Mr. Herchel's discourse of Natural Philosophy in Dr. Lardner's Cyclopædia.”

—Christian Observer.

“The finest work of philosophical genius which this age has seen.”

—Mackintosh's
England.

“By far the most delightful book to which the existing competition between
literary rivals of great talent and enterprise has given rise.”

—Monthly Review.

“Mr. Herschel's delightful volume. * * * We find scattered through the
work instances of vivid and happy illustration, where the fancy is usefully called
into action, so as sometimes to remind us of the splendid pictures which crowd
upon us in the style of Bacon.”

—Quarterly Review.

“It is the most exciting volume of the kind we ever met with.”

—Monthly
Magazine.

“One of the most instructive and delightful books we have ever perused.”

—
U. S. Journal.

A TREATISE ON MECHANICS. By Capt. Kater, and the
Rev. Dionysius Lardner. With numerous engravings.

“A work which contains an uncommon amount of useful information, exhibited
in a plain and very intelligible form.”

—Olmsted's Nat. Philosophy.

“This volume has been lately published in England, as a part of Dr. Lardner's
Cabinet Cyclopædia, and has received the unsolicited approbation of the most
eminent men of science, and the most discriminating journals and reviews, in
the British metropolis.—It is written in a popular and intelligible style, entirely
free from mathematical symbols, and disencumbered as far as possible of technical
phrases.”

—Boston Traveller.

“Admirable in development and clear in principles, and especially felicitous in
illustration from familiar subjects.”

—Monthly Mag.

“Though replete with philosophical information of the highest order in mechanics,
adapted to ordinary capacities in a way to render it at once intelligible
and popular.”

—Lit. Gazette.

“A work of great merit, full of valuable information, not only to the practical
mechanic, but to the man of science.”

—N. Y. Courier and Enquirer.

A TREATISE ON HYDROSTATICS AND PNEUMATICS.
By the Rev. D. Lardner. With numerous engravings.

“It fully sustains the favorable opinion we have already expressed as to this
valuable compendium of modern science.”

—Lit. Gazette.

“Dr. Lardner has made a good use of his acquaintance with the familiar facts
which illustrate the principles of science.”

—Monthly Magazine.

“It is written with a full knowledge of the subject, and in a popular style,
abounding in practical illustrations of the abstruse operations of these important
sciences.”

—U. S. Journal.

HISTORY of the RISE, PROGRESS, and PRESENT
STATE of the SILK MANUFACTURE; with numerous
engravings.

“The volume treats of everything relating to the fabric, embracing many
historical observations and interesting facts in natural history, with practical
directions of the minutest kind, for the guidance of those engaged in the production
or the manufacture of silk. These details, with the accompanying engravings
of machinery, must prove particularly valuable to those who wish to
attain an accurate knowledge of a very important art, on the history of which
alone the general reader will find much to interest him in the first part of the
volume.”

—N. Y. American.

“It contains abundant information in every department of this interesting
branch of human industry—in the history, culture, and manufacture of silk.”

—Monthly Magazine.

“There is a great deal of curious information in this little volume.”

—Lit. Gaz.

HISTORY of the ITALIAN REPUBLICS; being a View of
the Rise, Progress, and Fall of Italian Freedom. By J. C. L.
De Sismondi.

“The excellencies, defects, and fortunes of the governments of the Italian
commonwealths form a body of the most valuable materials for political philosophy.
It is time that they should be accessible to the American people, as
they are about to be rendered in Sismondi's masterly abridgment. He has done
for his large work, what Irving accomplished so well for his Life of Columbus.”

—Nat. Gazette.

HISTORY of the RISE, PROGRESS, and PRESENT
STATE of the MANUFACTURES of PORCELAIN
and GLASS. With numerous wood cuts.

HISTORY of the RISE, PROGRESS, and PRESENT
STATE of the IRON and STEEL MANUFACTURE.
(In press.)

“This volume appears to contain all useful information on the subject of
which it treats.”

—Lit. Gazette.

“These volumes are full of interest. * * * The present volume embraces the
manufactures of Iron and Steel only, and describes the present state of the
more important branches of both. Bridges, cannon, anchors, chains, screws,
figure in the first department—files, edge-tools, and saws, the latter; and the
history of all forms not the least interesting portion.”

—Mechanic's Magazine.

BIOGRAPHY of BRITISH STATESMEN; containing the
Lives of Sir Thomas More, by Sir James Mackintosh; Cardinal
Wolsey, Archbishop Cranmer, and Lord Burleigh.

“A very delightful volume, and on a subject likely to increase in interest as
it proceeds. * * * We cordially commend the work both for its design and execution.”

—London Lit. Gazette.

“The Life of More, being from the pen of Sir James Mackintosh, engaged
and fully rewarded our attention. It is a rich theme, and has been treated
with the lofty philosophical spirit and literary skill which distinguish the
writings of Sir James.”

—Nat. Gazette.

“We are certain, that no one can rise from the perusal of the work, without
having his understanding enlarged, and the best affections of his heart improved.”

—Album.

“A most interesting and valuable volume.”

—Gent. Magazine.

ELEMENTS of OPTICS. By David Brewster. 18mo. (In press.)

“The author has given proof of his well-known industry, and extensive acquaintance
with the results of science in every part of Europe.”

—Month. Mag.

“The subject is, as might be expected, ably treated, and clearly illustrated.”

—U. S. Jour.

HISTORY OF ENGLAND. By Sir James Mackintosh. In 8
Vols. Vols. 1 and 2 published.

“In the first volume of Sir James Mackintosh's History of England, we find
enough to warrant the anticipations of the public, that a calm and luminous
philosophy will diffuse itself over the long narrative of our British History.”

—
Edinburgh Review.

“In this volume Sir James Mackintosh fully developes those great powers, for
the possession of which the public have long given him credit. The result is the
ablest commentary that has yet appeared in our language upon some of the most
important circumstances of English History.”

—Atlas.

“Worthy in the method, style, and reflections, of the author's high reputation.
We were particularly pleased with his high vein of philosophical sentiment, and
his occasional survey of contemporary annals.”

—National Gazette.

“If talents of the highest order, long experience in politics, and years of application
to the study of history and the collection of information, can command
superiority in a historian, Sir James Mackintosh may, without reading this work,
be said to have produced the best history of this country. A perusal of the
work will prove that those who anticipated a superior production, have not reckoned
in vain on the high qualifications of the author.”

—Courier.

“Our anticipations of this volume were certainly very highly raised, and unlike
such anticipations in general, they have not been disappointed. A philosophical
spirit, a nervous style, and a full knowledge of the subject, acquired by
considerable research into the works of preceding chroniclers and historians,
eminently distinguish this popular abridgment, and cannot fail to recommend it
to universal approbation. In continuing his work as he has begun, Sir James
Mackintosh will confer a great benefit on his country.”

—Lond. Lit. Gazette.

“Of its general merits, and its permanent value, it is impossible to speak,
without the highest commendation, and after a careful and attentive perusal of
the two volumes which have been published, we are enabled to declare that, so
far, Sir James Mackintosh has performed the duty to which he was assigned,
with all the ability that was to be expected from his great previous attainments,
his laborious industry in investigation, his excellent judgment, his superior talents,
and his honorable principles.”

—Inquirer.

“We shall probably extract the whole of his view of the reformation, merely
to show how that important topic has been handled by so able and philosophical
a writer, professing Protestantism.

—National Gazette.

“The talents of Sir James Mackintosh are so justly and deeply respected, that
a strong interest is necessarily excited with regard to any work which such a
distinguished writer may think fit to undertake. In the present instance, as in
all others, our expectations are fully gratified.”

—Gentleman's Magazine.

“The second volume of the History of England, forming the sixth of Carey &
Lea's Cabinet Cyclopædia, has been sent abroad, and entirely sustains the reputation
of its predecessors. The various factions and dissensions, the important
trials and battles, which render this period so conspicuous in the page of history,
are all related with great clearness and masterly power.”

—Boston Traveller.

HISTORY OF SCOTLAND. By Sir Walter Scott. In 2 Vols.

“The History of Scotland, by Sir Walter Scott, we do not hesitate to declare,
will be, if possible, more extensively read, than the most popular work of fiction,
by the same prolific author, and for this obvious reason: it combines much of the
brilliant coloring of the Ivanhoe pictures of by gone manners, and all the graceful
facility of style and picturesqueness of description of his other charming romances,
with a minute fidelity to the facts of history, and a searching scrutiny
into their authenticity and relative value, which might put to the blush Mr.
Hume and other professed historians. Such is the magic charm of Sir Walter
Scott's pen, it has only to touch the simplest incident of every-day life, and it starts
up invested with all the interest of a scene of romance; and yet such is his fidelity
to the text of nature, that the knights, and serfs, and collared fools with whom
his inventive genius has peopled so many volumes, are regarded by us as not
mere creations of fancy, but as real flesh and blood existences, with all the virtues,
feelings and errors of common-place humanity.”

—Lit. Gazette.

“OF THE MANY WORKS WHICH HAVE BEEN LATELY PUBLISHED IN IMITATION, OR
ON THE PLAN ADOPTED BY THE SOCIETY FOR THE DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE,
DR. LARDNER'S CYCLOPÆDIA IS BY MUCH THE MOST VALUABLE, AND
THE MOST RECOMMENDED BY DISTINGUISHED ASSISTANCE, SCIENTIFIC AND LITETARY.”

—Edinburgh Review.

HISTORY OF FRANCE. By Eyre Evans Crowe. In 3 vols.

HISTORY OF FRANCE, from the Restoration of the Bourbons,
to the Revolution of 1830. By T. B. Macaulay, Esq.
M. P. Nearly ready.

“The style is concise and clear; and events are summed up with much vigor
and originality.”

—Lit. Gazette.

“His history of France is worthy to figure with the works of his associates,
the best of their day, Scott and Mackintosh.”

—Monthly Mag.

“For such a task Mr. Crowe is eminently qualified. At a glance, as it were,
his eye takes in the theatre of centuries. His style is neat, clear, and pithy; and
his power of condensation enables him to say much, and effectively, in a few
words, to present a distinct and perfect picture in a narrowly circumscribed
space.”

—La Belle Assemblee.

“The style is neat and condensed; the thoughts and conclusions sound and
just. The necessary conciseness of the narrative is unaccompanied by any
baldness; on the contrary, it is spirited and engaging.”

—Balt. American.

“To compress the history of a great nation, during a period of thirteen hundred
years, into two volumes, and to preserve sufficient distinctness as well as
interest in the narrative, to enable and induce the reader to possess himself
clearly of all the leading incidents, is a task by no means easily executed. It
has, nevertheless, been well accomplished in this instance.”

—N. Y. American.

“Written with spirit and taste.”

—U. S. Gazette.

“Could we but persuade our young friends to give these volumes a careful
perusal, we should feel assured of their grateful acknowledgments of profit and
pleasure.”

—N. Y. Mirror.

“At once concise and entertaining.”

—Saturday Bulletin.

THE HISTORY OF THE NETHERLANDS, to the Battle of
Waterloo. By T. C. Grattan.

“It is but justice to Mr. Grattan to say that he has executed his laborious
task with much industry and proportionate effect. Undisfigured by pompous
nothingness, and without any of the affectation of philosophical profundity, his
style is simple, light, and fresh—perspicuous, smooth, and harmonious.”

—La
Belle Assemblee.

“Never did work appear at a more fortunate period. The volume before us
is a compressed but clear and impartial narrative.”

—Lit. Gaz.

“A long residence in the country, and a ready access to libraries and archives,
have furnished Mr. Grattan with materials which he has arranged with skill,
and out of which he has produced a most interesting volume.”

—Gent. Mag.

BIOGRAPHY OF BRITISH STATESMEN; containing the
Lives of Sir Thomas More, Cardinal Wolsey, Archbishop
Cranmer, and Lord Burleigh.

execution.”

I. II. HISTORY of the SPANISH DISCOVERIES prior to the year 1520.

To be succeeded by

III. IV. V. HISTORY of ANAHUAC, or MEXICO, from its discovery
to the present time. In 3 vols.

VI. VII. HISTORY of PERU. In 2 vols.

VIII. IX. HISTORY of BRAZIL. In 2 vols. &c. &c.

Under this comprehensive title, it is proposed to publish a General History
of America, divided into parts making together a continuous whole;
yet each, having an integral form, adapted for separate publication. Each
portion will be brought down to the period at which it shall be written,
and will contain a popular description of the geology, climate and productions,
and the civil history of the country to which it relates.

No work of this general nature has been published in the English language.
The work of Dr. Robertson is rather a philosophical essay on
American history, than an historical narrative; and though originally designed
to embrace the whole of the American continent, it remains unfinished.
It is written also, with a bias unfavorable to America and its
productions, is incorrect in many important particulars, and is too much
abstracted for popular use.

This void in literature might have been properly filled by the writers of
Spain, Portugal, France, or England, but has been supplied for Europe, in
a measure, by an Italian, the Cavalier Campagnoni, of whose meritorious
labor much use will be made in the proposed enterprise.

The volumes herewith presented, may be deemed introductory to the
whole work, since they narrate the history of the discovery of the three
great portions of America. In the prosecution of the subject, the existing
political divisions will be pursued and connected with former ones, by
proper explanations; and where due regard for unity does not forbid, the
chronological order will be preserved. Thus, the next succeeding part of
the work, now advanced in preparation, will contain the history of Anahuac,
or Mexico: including its ancient annals, an account of its subjugation, and
the policy of its conquerors, of its late revolutions, and of its present constituent
states. In the same manner will be treated Central America, Peru,
Chili, Bolivia, the United Provinces of La Plata, Brazil and Colombia. Due
attention will also be given to the independent Indian nations of South
America

The history of the remainder of the country will be embraced by the
following divisions:—1. Russian; 2. British; 3. Spanish; 4. French; 5.
Danish; 6. Dutch America; and 7, the United States and their dependencies.
In treating the last division, a separate volume will be appropriated
to each State and Territory, the history of which may require it, and “The
History of the United States” will be confined to the events of the Revolution
and the operations of the general government.

A survey having been thus made of the whole Western Hemisphere, the
concluding volume will contain the history of the Indian races, particularly
those of the northern part of the continent, with a critical examination of
the theories relating to the original peopling of America.

The general title of the work is sufficiently comprehensive to include a
biography of distinguished Americans, and others connected with American
history; and should the public support warrant it, “An American Biography”
may also be published under it, in a cheap and popular form.

LIFE of PETRARCH. By Thomas Moore.

GLEANINGS in NATURAL HISTORY, being a Companion
to the Journal of a Naturalist.

“The Cabinet Library bids fair to be a series of great value, and is recommended
to public and private libraries, to professional men, and miscellaneous
readers generally. It is beautifully printed, and furnished at a price which will
place it within the reach of all classes of society.”

—American Traveller.

“The series of instructive, and, in their original form, expensive works,
which these enterprising publishers are now issuing under the title of the
“Cabinet Library,” is a fountain of useful, and almost universal knowledge;
the advantages of which, in forming the opinions, tastes and manners of that
portion of society, to which this varied information is yet new, cannot be too
highly estimated.”

—National Journal.

“Messrs. Carey and Lea have commenced a series of publications under the
above title, which are to appear monthly, and which seem likely, from the specimen
before us, to acquire a high degree of popularity, and to afford a mass of
various information and rich entertainment, at once eminently useful and
strongly attractive. The mechanical execution is fine, the paper and typography
excellent.”

—Nashville Banner.

MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF SIR WALTER RALEGH,
with some Account of the Period in which he lived. By
MRS. A. T. THOMSON. With a Portrait.

“Such is the outline of a life, which, in Mrs. Thomson's hands, is a mine of
interest; from the first page to the last the attention is roused and sustained,
and while we approve the manner, we still more applaud the spirit in which it
is executed.”

—Literary Gazette.

JOURNAL OF A NATURALIST. With Plates.

—Plants, trees, and stones we note;
Birds, insects, beasts, and rural things.

“We again most strongly recommend this little unpretending volume to the
attention of every lover of nature, and more particularly of our country readers
It will induce them, we are sure, to examine more closely than they have
been accustomed to do, into the objects of animated nature, and such examination
will prove one of the most innocent, and the most satisfactory sources of
gratification and amusement. It is a book that ought to find its way into every
rural drawing-room in the kingdom, and one that may safely be placed in every
lady's boudoir, be her rank and station in life what they may.”

—Quarterly Review,
No. LXXVIII.

“We think that there are few readers who will not be delighted (we are certain
all will be instructed) by the `Journal of a Naturalist.”'

—Monthly Review

“This is a most delightful book on the most delightful of all studies. We are
acquainted with no previous work which hears any resemblance to this, except
`White's History of Selborne,' the most fascinating piece of rural writing and
sound English philosophy that ever issued from the press.”

—Athenæum.

“The author of the volume now before us, has produced one of the most
charming volumes we remember to have seen for a long time.”

—New Monthly
Magazine, June, 1829.

“A delightful volume—perhaps the most so—nor less instructive and amusing
—given to Natural History since White's Selborne.”

—Blackwood's Magazine.

“The Journal of a Naturalist, being the second number of Carey and Lea's
beautiful edition of the Cabinet Library, is the best treatise on subjects connected
with this train of thought, that we have for a long time perused, and we
are not at all surprised that it should have received so high and flattering encomiums
from the English press generally.”

—Boston Traveller.

“Furnishing an interesting and familiar account of the various objects of
animated nature, but calculated to afford both instruction and entertainment.”

—Nashville Banner.

“One of the most agreeable works of its kind in the language.”

—Courier de
la Louisiane.

“It abounds with numerous and curious facts, pleasing illustrations of the
secret operations and economy of nature, and satisfactory displays of the power,
wisdom and goodness, of the great Creator.”

—Philad. Album.

THE MARQUESS OF LONDONDERRY'S NARRATIVE OF
THE LATE WAR IN GERMANY AND FRANCE. With a
Map.

“No history of the events to which it relates can be correct without reference
to its statements.”

—Literary Gazette.

“The events detailed in this volume cannot fail to excite an intense interest.”

—Dublin Literary Gazette.

“The only connected and well authenticated account we have of the spirit-stirring
scenes which preceded the fall of Napoleon. It introduces us into the
cabinets and presence of the allied monarchs. We observe the secret policy of
each individual: we see the course pursued by the wily Bernadotte, the temporizing
Metternich, and the ambitious Alexander. The work deserves a place in
every historical library.”

—Globe.

“We hail with pleasure the appearance of the first volume of the Cabinet
Library.” “The author had singular facilities for obtaining the materials of
his work, and he has introduced us to the movements and measures of cabinets
which have hitherto been hidden from the world.”

—American Traveller.

“It may be regarded as the most authentic of all the publications which profess
to detail the events of the important campaigns, terminating with that
which secured the capture of the French metropolis.”

—Nat. Journal.

“It is in fact the only authentic account of the memorable events to which
it refers.”

—Nashville Banner.

“The work deserves a place in every library.”

—Philadelphia Album.

SCOTT AND COOPER.

BY SIR WALTER SCOTT.

COUNT ROBERT OF PARIS, a Tale of the Lower Empire.
By the Author of Waverley. In 3 vols.

“The reader will at once perceive that the subject, the characters and the
scenes of action, could not have been better selected for the display of the various
and unequalled powers of the author. All that is glorious in arts and splendid
in arms—the glitter of armor, the pomp of war, and the splendor of chivalry
—the gorgeous scenery of the Bosphorus—the ruins of Byzantium—the magnificence
of the Grecian capital, and the richness and voluptuousness of the imperial
court, will rise before the reader in a succession of beautiful and dazzling
images.”

MISCELLANEOUS.

A MEMOIR OF SEBASTIAN CABOT, with a Review of the
History of Maritime Discovery. Illustrated by Documents
from the Rolls, now first published.

“Put forth in the most unpretending manner, and without a name, this work
is of paramount importance to the subjects of which it treats.”

—Lit. Gazette.

“The author has corrected many grave errors, and in general given us a clearer
insight into transactions of considerable national interest.”—Ib. “Will it not,”
says the author, with just astonishment, “be deemed almost incredible, that the
very instrument in the Records of England, which recites the Great Discovery,
and plainly contemplates a scheme of Colonization, should, up to this moment,
have been treated by her own writers as that which first gave permission to go
forth and explore?”—Ib. “We must return to investigate several collateral
matters which we think deserving of more space than we can this week bestow.
Meanwhile we recommend the work as one of great value and interest.”

—Ib.

“The general reader, as well as the navigator and the curious, will derive
pleasure and information from this well-written production.”

—Courier.

“A specimen of honest inquiry. It is quite frightful to think of the number of
the inaccuracies it exposes: we shall cease to have confidence in books.” “The
investigation of truth is not the fashion of these times. But every sincere inquirer
after historical accuracy ought to purchase the book as a curiosity: more
false assertions and inaccurate statements were never exposed in the same compass.
It has given us a lesson we shall never forget, and hope to profit by.”

—Spect.

HISTORY OF THE NORTHMEN, OR NORMANS AND
DANES; from the earliest times to the Conquest of England
by William of Normandy. By Henry Wheaton, Member
of the Scandinavian and Icelandie Literary Societies
of Copenhagen.

This work embraces the great leading features of Scandinavian history, commencing
with the heroic age, and advancing from the earliest dawn of civilization
to the introduction of Christianity into the North—its long and bloody
strife with Paganism—the discovery and colonization of Iceland, Greenland,
and North America, by the Norwegian navigators, before the time of Columbus
—the military and maritime expeditions of the Northmen—their early intercourse
of commerce and war with Constantinople and the Eastern empire—the
establishment of a Norman state in France, under Rollo, and the subjugation of
England, first by the Danes, under Canute the Great, and subsequently by the
Normans, under Duke William, the founder of the English monarchy. It also
contains an account of the mythology and literature of the ancient North—the
Icelandic language prevailing all over the Scandinavian countries until the
formation of the present living tongues of Sweden and Denmark—an analysis
of the Eddas, Sagas, and various chronicles and songs relating to the Northern
deities and heroes, constituting the original materials from which the work has
been principally composed. It is intended to illustrate the history of France
and England during the middle ages, and at the same time to serve as an introduction
to the modern history of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

AN HISTORICAL INQUIRY INTO THE PRODUCTION
AND CONSUMPTION OF THE PRECIOUS METALS,
from the Earliest Ages, and into the Influence of their Increase
or Diminution on the Prices of Commodities. By
William Jacob, Esq. F. R. S. In 8vo.

“Mr. Jacob's Historical Inquiry into the Production and Consumption of the
Precious Metals is one of the most curious and important works which has
lately issued from the press. The influence of the precious metals on the industry
of mankind is acknowledged to be great; though, perhaps, the notions respecting
the precise mode of its operation were obscure, and undoubtedly the
history of its effects had never been traced with accuracy and ingenuity. Mr.
Huskisson, who had maintained a friendship with Mr. Jacob for more than five-and-twenty
years, first put the author on the investigation; it is one of the minor
obligations which the country owes to that enlightened statesman.”

—Spectator.

“It was written at the suggestion of the late Mr. Huskisson, and displays
the fruits of much industry and research, guided by a sound judgment, and embodying
more learning than is usually brought to bear on statistical or economical
subjects. We recommend the book to general attention.”

—Times.

EDUCATION.

LESSONS on THINGS, intended to improve Children in the
Practice of Observation, Reflection, and Description, on the System
of Pestalozzi, edited by John Frost, A. M.

The publishers request the attention of Teachers, School Committees,
and all who are desirous of improving the methods of instruction,
to this work, which is on a plan hitherto unattempted
by any school-book in this country, and which has been attended
with extraordinary success in England.

The following remarks on the work are extracted from the
“Quarterly Journal of Education.”

“This little volume is a `corrected and re-corrected' edition of lessons actually
given to children, and, therefore, possesses a value to which no book made in
the closet can lay claim, being the result of actual experiment. The work consists
of a number of lessons, divided into five series: beginning with subjects
the most easy and elementary, it gradnally increases in difficulty, each successive
step being adapted to the mind of the child as it acquires fresh stores of
knowledge.

“Every part of these lessons is interesting to the child, both on account of the
active operation into which his own mind is necessarily called by the manner in
which the lessons are given; and also by the attractive nature of many of the
materials which form the subject of the lessons. In the first and most elementary
series, the pupil is simply taught to make a right use of his organs of sense,
and to exercise his judgment so far only as relates to the objects about him; and
accordingly the matter brought before him at this stage, is such that its obvious
properties can be discovered and described by a child who has acquired a tolerable
knowledge of his mother tongue.”

GREEK and ENGLISH LEXICON. By D. Donnegan.
Abridged for the use of Schools. In 1 vol. royal 18mo. containing
above 600 pages.

This work is printing on a handsome distinct type, and will contain as
much matter as many of the larger lexicons; but owing to the form in
which it is printed, will be sold at such price as to be within the reach of
all students. It will offer more advantages to the young student than any
other lexicon now in use. The vocabulary is more extensive and complete—comprising
not only words found in the classics, but also such as are
found in the writings of Hippocrates and the Greek Physicians. The
meanings attached to words by the several writers are also given.

Words are given in alphabetical order in every poetical and dialectic
variety.

The conjugation of verbs and flection of nouns are more complete than
in other lexicons;—the meanings of words fuller and more correct—there
being first a primary and then a secondary meaning, each distinguished
from the metaphorical and idiomatical. Phrases are also given when they
note any peculiarity in signification. The etymology of words is only
omitted where it is confused or disputed. There is nothing left out which
the young student would find necessary in studying the Classics, and
which would enable him to understand the true meaning of a word. In
short, in this work the essential advantages of a good Dictionary are combined
with those of a good Grammar—advantages not found in any Greek
and English Lexicon now used.

WASHINGTON IRVING.

VOYAGES and ADVENTURES of the COMPANIONS of
COLUMBUS. By Washington Irving, Author of the Life
of Columbus, &c. 1 vol. 8vo.

“Of the main work we may repeat that it possesses the value of important
history and the magnetism of romantic adventure. It sustains in every respect
the reputation of Irving.” “We may hope that the gifted author will treat in like
manner the enterprises and exploits of Pizarro and Cortes; and thus complete a
series of elegant recitals, which will contribute to the especial gratification of
Americans, and form an imperishable fund of delightful instruction for all ages
and countries.”

—Nat. Gazette.

“As he leads us from one savage tribe to another, as he paints successive
scenes of heroism, perseverance and self-denial, as he wanders among the magnificent
scenes of nature, as he relates with scrupulous fidelity the errors, and
the crimes, even of those whose lives are for the most part marked with traits
to command admiration, and perhaps esteem—everywhere we find him the same
undeviating, but beautiful moralist, gathering from every incident some lesson
to present in striking language to the reason and the heart.”

—Am. Quarterly
Review.

“This is a delightful volume; for the preface truly says that the expeditions
narrated and springing out of the voyages of Columbus may be compared with
attempts of adventurous knights-errant to achieve the enterprise left unfinished
by some illustrious predecessors. Washington Irving's name is a pledge how
well their stories will be told: and we only regret that we must of necessity defer
our extracts for a week.”

—London Lit. Gazette.

A CHRONICLE of the CONQUEST of GRENADA. By
Washington Irving, Esq. In 2 vols.

“On the whole, this work will sustain the high fame of Washington Irving.
It fills a blank in the historical library which ought not to have remained so
long a blank. The language throughout is at once chaste and animated; and
the narrative may be said, like Spenser's Fairy Queen, to present one long gallery
of splendid pictures.”

—Lond. Lit. Gazette.

“Collecting his materials from various historians, and adopting in some
degree the tone and manner of a monkish chronicler, he has embodied them in
a narrative which in manner reminds us of the rich and storied pages of Froissart.
He dwells on the feats of chivalry performed by the Christian Knights,
with all the ardor which might be expected from a priest, who mixed, according
to the usage of the times, not only in the palaces of courtly nobles, and their gay
festivals, as an honored and welcome guest, but who was their companion in
the camp, and their spiritual and indeed bodily comforter and assistant in the
field of battle.

—Am. Quarterly Review.

CLASSICAL LITERATURE.

INTRODUCTION to the STUDY of the GREEK CLASSIC
POETS, for the use of Young Persons at School or College.

Contents.—General Introduction; Homeric Questions;
Life of Homer; Iliad; Odyssey; Margites; Batrachomyomachia;
Hymns; Hesiod. By Henry Nelson Coleridge.

“We have been highty pleased with this little volume. This work supplies a
want which we have often painfully felt, and affords a manual which we should
gladly see placed in the hands of every embryo under-graduate. We look forward
to the next portion of this work with very eager and impatient expectation.”

—British Critic.

“Mr. Coleridge's work not only deserves the praise of clear, eloquent and
scholar like exposition of the preliminary matter, which is necessary in order to
understand and enter into the character of the great Poet of antiquity; but it
has likewise the more rare merit of being admirably adapted for its acknowledged
purpose. It is written in that fresh and ardent spirit which to the congenial
mind of youth, will convey instruction in the most effective manner, by
awakening the desire of it; and by enlisting the lively and buoyant feelings in
the cause of useful and improving study; while, by its pregnant brevity, it is
more likely to stimulate than to supersede more profound and extensive research.
If then, as it is avowedly intended for the use of the younger readers of Homer,
and, as it is impossible not to discover, with a more particular view to the great
school to which the author owes his education, we shall be much mistaken if it
does not become as popular as it will be useful in that celebrated establishment.”

—Quarterly Review.

“We sincerely hope that Mr. Coleridge will favor us with a continuation of
this work, which he promises.

—Gent. Mag.

“The author of this elegant volume has collected a vast mass of valuable information.
To the higher classes of the public schools, and young men of universities,
this volume will be especially valuable; as it will afford an agreeable
relief of light reading to more grave studies, at once instructive and entertaining.”

—Wesleyan Methodist Magazine.

ATLAS OF ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY, consisting of 21 Colored
Maps, with a complete Accentuated Index. By Samuel
Butler, D. D., F. R. S. &c. Archdeacon of Derby.

By the same Author.

GEOGRAPHIA CLASSICA: a Sketch of Ancient Georgraphy,
for the Use of Schools. In 8vo.

Extract of a Letter from Professor Stuart of Andover.

“I have used Butler's Atlas Classica for 12 or 14 years, and prefer it on the
score of convenience and correctness to any atlas within the compass of my
knowledge. It is evidently a work of much care and taste, and most happily
adapted to classical readers and indeed all others, who consult the history of past
ages. I have long cherished a strong desire to see the work brought forward in
this country, and I am exceedingly gratified that you have carried through this
undertaking. The beautiful manner in which the specimen is executed that you
have sent me does great credit to engravers and publishers. It cannot be that
our schools and colleges will fail to adopt this work, and bring it into very general
circulation. I know of none which in all respects would supply its place.”

“The abridged but classical and excellent work of Butler, on Ancient Geography,
which you are printing as an accompaniment to the maps. I consider one
of the most attractive works of the kind, especially for young persons studying
the classics, that has come under my notice. I wish you the most ample success
in these highly useful publications.”

FRENCH AND SPANISH.

BY A. BOLMAR.

A COLLECTION of COLLOQUIAL PHRASES on every
Topic necessary to maintain Conversation, arranged under different
heads, with numerous remarks on the peculiar pronunciation
and use of various words—the whole so disposed as considerably
to facilitate the acquisition of a correct pronunciation of the
French. By A. Bolmar. One vol. 18mo.

A SELECTION of ONE HUNDRED PERRIN'S FABLES,
accompanied by a Key, containing the text, a literal and free
translation, arranged in such a manner as to point out the difference
between the French and the English idiom, also a figured
pronunciation of the French, according to the best French works
extant on the subject; the whole preceded by a short treatise on
the sounds of the French language, compared with those of the
English.

Les AVENTURES de TELEMAQUE par FENELON, accompanied
by a Key to the first eight books; containing like the
Fables—the Text—a Literal—and Free Translation; intended as
a Sequel to the Fables.

The expression `figured pronunciation,' is above employed to express that the
words in the Key to the French Fables are spelt and divided as they are pronounced.
It is what Walker has done in his Critical Pronouncing Dictionary; for instance,
he indicates the pronunciation of the word enough, by dividing and spelling it thus,
e-nuf. In the same manner I indicate the pronunciation of the word comptaient
thus, kon-tè.' As the understanding of the figured pronunciation of Walker requires
the student to be acquainted with the primitive sounds of the English vowels,
he must likewise, before he can understand the figured pronunciation of the French,
make himself acquainted with the 20 primitive sounds of the French vowels. This
any intelligent person can get from a native, or from anybody who reads French
well, in a few hours.

A COMPLETE TREATISE on the GENDERS of FRENCH
NOUNS; in a small pamphlet of fourteen pages.

This little work, which is the most complete of the kind, is the
fruit of great labor, and will prove of immense service to every
learner.

ALL THE FRENCH VERBS, both REGULAR and IRREGULAR,
in a small volume.

The verbs être to be, avoir to have, parler to speak, finir to finish, recevoir
to receive, vendre to sell, se lever to rise, se bien porter to be well, s'en aller
to go away, are here all conjugated through—affirmatively—negatively—
interrogatively—and negatively and interrogatively—an arrangement which
will greatly facilitate the scholar in his learning the French verbs, and
which will save the master the trouble of explaining over and over again
what may be much more easily learned from books, thus leaving him more
time to give his pupil, during the lesson, that instruction which cannot be
found in books, but which must be learned from a master.

improvements in this nationally important plan. We consider the volume to
be one of great general interest.”

—Lit. Gaz.

“We must, in justice, refer the reader to the work itself, strongly assuring
him that, whether he be a man of science, or one totally unacquainted with its
technical difficulties, he will here receive instruction and pleasure, in a degree
which we have seldom seen united before.”

ELEMENTS of MECHANICS. By James Renwick, Esq.
Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy, Columbia
College, N. Y. In 8vo. with numerous engravings.

from the American press, that we have seen; one, too, that is alike creditable
to the writer, and to the state of science in this country.”

“Of this valuable, or we might say, invaluable work, a second edition has
been speedily demanded by the public voice.”

—Lit. Gaz.

ARNOTT'S ELEMENTS of PHYSICS. Vol. II. Part I.
Containing Light and Heat.

“Dr. Arnott's previous volume has been so well received, that it has almost
banished all the flimsy productions called popular, which falsely pretend to strip
science of its mysterious and repulsive aspect, and to exhibit a holiday apparel.
The success of such a work shows most clearly that it is plain but sound knowledge
which the public want.”

AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGY, or NATURAL HISTORY

CHEMISTRY.

THE CHEMISTRY OF THE ARTS, on the basis of Gray's
Operative Chemist, being an Exhibition of the Arts and
Manufactures dependent on Chemical Principles, with
numerous Engravings, by ARTHUR L. PORTER, M. D.
late Professor of Chemistry, &c. in the University of Vermont.
In 8vo. With numerous Plates.

The popular and valuable English work of Mr. Gray, which forms the
ground work of the present volume, was published in London in 1829, and
designed to exhibit a systematic and practical view of the numerous Arts and
Manufactures which involve the application of Chemical Science. The author
himself, a skilful, manufacturing, as well as an able, scientific chemist,
enjoying the multiplied advantages afforded by the metropolis of the greatest
manufacturing nation on earth, was eminently qualified for so arduous an
undertaking, and the popularity of the work in England, as well as its
intrinsic merits, attest the fidelity and success with which it has been executed.
In the work now offered to the American public, the practical
character of the Operative Chemist has been preserved, and much extended
by the addition of a great variety of original matter, by numerous corrections
of the original text, and the adaptation of the whole to the state
and wants of the Arts and Manufactures of the United States. Among the
most considerable additions will be found full and extended treatises on the
Bleaching of Cotton and Linen, on the various branches of Calico Printing,
on the Manufacture of the Chloride of Lime, or Bleaching Powder, and
numerous Staple Articles used in the Arts of Dying, Calico Printing, and
various other processes of Manufacture, such as the Salts of Tin, Lead,
Manganese, and Antimony; the most recent Improvements on the Manufacture
of the Muriatic, Nitric, and Sulphuric Acids, the Chromates of
Potash, the latest information on the comparative Value of Different Varieties
of Fuel, on the Construction of Stoves, Fire-Places, and Stoving
Rooms, on the Ventilation of Apartments, &c. &c. The leading object has
been to improve and extend the practical character of the Operative Chemist,
and to supply, as the publishers flatter themselves, a deficiency which
is felt by every artist and manufacturer, whose processes involve the principles
of chemical science, the want of a Systematic Work which should
embody the most recent improvements in the chemical arts and manufactures,
whether derived from the researches of scientific men, or the experiments
and observations of the operative manufacturer and artisans
themselves.

CHEMICAL MANIPULATION. Instruction to Students on
the Methods of performing Experiments of Demonstration
or Research, with accuracy and success. By MICHAEL
FARADAY, F. R. S. First American, from the second
London edition, with Additions by J. K. MITCHELL, M. D.

“After a very careful perusal of this work, we strenuously recommend it, as
containing the most complete and excellent instructions for conducting chemical
experiments. There are few persons, however great their experience, who may
not gain information in many important particulars; and for ourselves, we beg
most unequivocally to acknowledge that we have acquired many new and important
hints on subjects of even every-day occurrence.”

—Philosophical Mag.

“A work hitherto exceedingly wanted in the laboratory, equally useful to the
proficient and to the student, and eminently creditable to the industry and skill
of the author, and to the school whence it emanates.”

And supported by the most distinguished Physicians in the United States,
among which are Professors Bigelow, Channing, Chapman, Coxe, De
Butts, Dewees, Dickson, Dudley, Francis, Gibson, Hare, Henderson,
Horner, Hosack, Jackson, Macneven, Mott, Mussey, Physick, Potter,

and one or more plates—being a greater amount of matter than is furnished
by any other Medical Journal in the United States. Price $5 per
annum.

The following Extracts show the estimation in which this
Journal is held in Europe:—

“Several of the American Journals are before us. * * * * Of these the
American Journal of the Medical Sciences is by far the better periodical; it is,
indeed, the best of the trans-atlantic medical publications; and, to make a comparison
nearer home, is in most respects superior to the great majority of European
works of the same description.”

—The Lancet, Jan. 1831.

“We need scarcely refer our esteemed and highly eminent cotemporary. [The
American Journal of the Medical Sciences,] from whom we quote, to our critical
remarks on the opinions of our own countrymen, or to the principles which influence
us in the discharge of our editorial duties.” “Our copious extracts from
his unequalled publication, unnoticing multitudes of others which come before
us, are the best proof of the esteem which we entertain for his talents and abilities.”

—London Medical and Surgical Journal, March, 1830.

“The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is one of the most complete
and best edited of the numerous periodical publications of the United States.”

honor on Dr. Dewees's talents, industry, and capacity for the execution of the
arduous task which he had undertaken. It is one of the most able and satisfactory
works which modern times have produced, and will be a standard authority.”

DEWEES on the DISEASES of CHILDREN. 4th ed. In 8vo.

The objects of this work are, 1st, to teach those who have the charge of
children, either as parent or guardian, the most approved methods of securing
and improving their physical powers. This is attempted by pointing
out the duties which the parent or the guardian owes for this purpose, to
this interesting, but helpless class of beings, and the manner by which their
duties shall be fulfilled. And 2d, to render available a long experience to
these objects of our affection when they become diseased. In attempting
this, the author has avoided as much as possible, “technicality;” and has
given, if he does not flatter himself too much, to each disease of which
he treats, its appropriate and designating characters, with a fidelity that
will prevent any two being confounded together, with the best mode of
treating them, that either his own experience or that of others has suggested.

“In short, the present work, concise, unostentatious as it is, would have led
us to think that Dr. Tweedie was a man of clear judgment, unfettered by attachment
to any fashionable hypothesis, that he was an energetic but judicious
practitioner, and that, if he did not dazzle his readers with the brilliancy of theoretical
speculations he would command their assent to the solidity of his didactic
precepts.”
