Twenty-two Thousand Copies of this celebrated work were sold by November
10th, 1852, which was only four weeks after its first publication, at which
time this advertisement was written, and the demand is increasing every
day. The Press every where praise it as far surpassing Mrs. Stowe's far-famed
work of “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” Telegraphic despatches from all
quarters of the “UNION” are pouring in for it, and Printers, Steam Presses,
Bookbinders, Packers, and all others are kept busy at it to supply the demand.
Every body should send for a copy and read it.
“The Cabin and Parlor,” is a book for the whole country, and not for
one section only. It is intended to allay, not excite, local jealousies. It is
free from all bias of party. Every person who values the Constitution framed
by Washington and his co-patriots, or loves “truth for truth's sake,” should
have a copy of this work.
The author is a gentleman who has travelled both North and South, so
that his descriptions are both faithful and accurate; indeed, nearly every
incident described in the volume, he has personally witnessed. The narrative,
though thus substantially true, is as thrilling as the most engrossing novel.
Never, perhaps, has a book so interesting in every respect, been offered to the
American public.
The spirit of enlarged philanthrophy which pervades the book, is not its
least recommendation. The author is a true and wise friend of his race, and
not a quack in morals, as so many modern writers are. His religion is that
of the Bible, and not mere varnished infidelity.
Price for the complete work, in paper cover, beautifully illustrated, Fifty
cents a copy only; or a finer edition, printed on thicker and better paper,
and handsomely bound in muslin, gilt, is published for One Dollar.
Copies of either edition of the work will be sent to any person at all, to
any part of the United States, free of postage, on their remitting the price of
the edition they wish, to the publisher, in a letter, post-paid.
