COMPLETE HISTORY OF LITERATURE,

In one vol. 12mo. Fifth Edition.

LECTURES ON THE HISTORY OF LITERATURE,

BY FREDERIC VON SCHLEGEL. TRANSLATED BY J. G. LOCKHART.
Price $1 25, muslin.

“By far the most rational and profound view of the History of Literature which has yet been presented.”—Blackwood.

“One of the most valuable works that ever adorned a library.”—Herald.

“This work is destined to universal popularity: its beneficial influence will be coeval with the existence of literature and civilization.”—Literary Gazette.

“Schlegel, standing as it were upon the Alp of time, sketches with an artist hand the glorious literary panorama lying beneath the horizon of the past. With the intuitive perception of genius, he unfolds to us the mechanism of each system of ancient philosophy that spent its ephemeral breath in struggling for a supremacy, which, if temporarily attained, was early lost from the want of an innate, self-sustaining, vital principle. The occult sciences, poetry, languages, exploded sophisms, &c. are presented to the eager eye in groups wrought with the same vivid, life-like portraiture, with here and there—like the air amid the most complex sounds in music—an acute critical aphorism interspersed; so fascinating in its keen subtlety that we are lost in admiration.”—Louisville Journal.

THE RUINS OF CENTRAL AMERICA.

In one beautifully printed volume octavo, embellished by nearly fifty
Illustrations,
executed in a novel and effective style, from drawings taken on the
spot, a new and extremely interesting work, entitled

RAMBLES IN YUCATAN;

OR, NOTES OF TRAVEL THROUGH THE PENINSULA,

INCLUDING A VISIT TO ITS REMARKABLE RUINS.

BY A MODERN ANTIQUARY.—Price $2 00.

This new and beautiful volume, besides presenting a synoptical account
of those interesting vestiges of antiquity in Central America, which
have become recently so much the objects of public attention, will be
found to comprise a Geographical, Political, and Statistical
description of Yucatan, and the ancient cities of Chichen, Kahbah,
Zayi, Uxmal, and also other places not previously visited by any other
tourist; including a graphic and detailed account of their numerous
stupendous ruins,—and an unique collection of rare and curious Idols,
which have never before been discovered: to which is appended notices
of the manners and customs of the present inhabitants of the
peninsula, including brief historical sketches of its churches,
colleges, and other public institutions, &c. &c.

The following are among the principal embellishments:—Frontispiece in colours,—Vignette,—The Temple,—The Pyramid at Chichen,—The House of the Caciques,—The Front View of the House of the Caciques,—The Nuns’ House,—Pyramids,—Uxmal Ruins,—The Governor’s House,—The Pigeon Houses,—The Façade of Governor’s House,—Zayi Ruins,—Lonato, or Natural Wall,—The Road Side,—Yucateco Indian House,—The Plantain,—The Agave Americana,—Idols,—Map and Plans.

STILL MORE REMARKABLE RUINS IN CENTRAL AMERICA.—We have lately looked over some drawings made by a traveller, recently returned from Central America, representing the ruins of an ancient city, not yet visited by any traveller, which are perhaps more remarkable than even those visited by Stephens and Catherwood.—N. Y. Evening Post.

SEQUEL TO THE WORKS OF BURNS.

Second edition, in one vol. 12mo. Price $1 00, muslin.

THE LIFE AND LAND OF BURNS,

By ALLAN CUNNINGHAM, with contributions by Thomas Campbell, Esq., Author
of “The Pleasures of Hope,” to which is prefixed an Essay on the
Genius and Writings of Burns, by Thomas Carlyle, Esq.

“This book is invaluable as completing the works of Burns, and as being also illustrative of them.”—Cincinnati Gazette.

“Written with all a poet’s thought and feeling.”—Tattler.

“Another tribute to the memory of one of the truest poets that the world, perhaps, has ever seen. This posthumous volume will be regarded of peculiar and permanent value, as being a sequel to all editions of the writings of the poet extant, to which it is the clue for their complete elucidation. The Essay of Carlyle, included in the present work, is a splendid effort, and among the finest specimens of this original and beautiful writer. The work will commend itself not only to every son of Scotia, but to all the admirers of poetry throughout our far-spread borders.”—New World.

“All the admirers of Scotland’s sweetest bard—and who will acknowledge that he is not one—will be delighted with this volume, filled as it is with various reminiscences and particulars about him, that have never before appeared. It would be enough to say that it is a joint tribute to the memory of the poet of nature, by Cunningham, Campbell, and Carlyle; but it has even more than this to recommend it. It has several original letters, never before published in this country, and is altogether one of the pleasantest books that have appeared for a long while.”—N. Y. Review.

D’ISRAELI’S NEW WORK,

SIXTH EDITION.

THE AMENITIES OF LITERATURE,

BY J. D’ISRAELI, ESQ.

Author of “The Miscellanies of Literature,” “The Curiosities of
Literature,”
beautifully printed in two vols. 12mo. Price $2 00, muslin.

“Quite worthy of an author who has done perhaps more than any other to illustrate and adorn the English language and literature: this work will rank in all public and private libraries with the author’s previous delightful miscellanies, “The Curiosities of Literature,” “The Miscellanies of Literature,” &c.—New World.

“The volumes are as invaluable and curious as interesting, and form history enough of the subject for any save the antiquary—and no modern history would content him.”—Brother Jonathan.

“AMENITIES OF LITERATURE.—We have ever considered the author of these volumes as a literary benefactor, one, who in his own peculiar province has done more to advance the cause of letters than any other writer, by rescuing from oblivion and doing justice to the primitive sons of genius who laid the basis of English literature. ‘The Amenities’ we regard superior to its brothers, ‘The Curiosities’ and ‘The Miscellanies,’ inasmuch that there is more unity in its design, a greater depth of research, and as it were, a kind of history of the minds of authors as well as of their writings. Like whatever comes from the pen of this accomplished individual, it is remarkable for purity of style and interesting anecdote, and must become an especial favourite with all classes of readers.”—Lit. Gaz.

* * * * *

MISCELLANIES OF LITERATURE,

BY J. D’ISRAELI, ESQ.

12mo. New Edition, with numerous Additions and Revisions by the author.
Price $3 00, muslin.

“In the volumes before us, there is not an uninteresting line from title page to finis.”—Bro. Jonathan.

“It is a work that enchains you from beginning to end; in the perusal of which you feel reluctant to pause, till you find yourself compelled by the unwelcome finis.”—Merchants’ Magazine.

“This valuable work puts us at once into fellowship with the master spirits of the past, and brings up the scenes and events of other days with life-like freshness. This work supplies us with what we have long needed—a home description of literature and the master builders of it; their difficulties, hardships, dispositions, social wants and pleasures. It is a good counterpart to the ‘Curiosities of Literature,’ and like that will amuse as well as instruct.”—New Yorker.

“The writings of D’Israeli belong to a class no less peculiar in their character, than they are valuable in their kind. Few authors have laboured so assiduously, or rendered such efficient service to the interests of literature. His style is pre-eminent for its nervousness and classic beauty, and it is doubtless to this cause no less than to the immense collection of amusing and characteristic anecdote which he has supplied that we are to ascribe the high estimation with which his former writings have been received. We cordially recommend these delightful volumes to all who can appreciate the pleasing combination of the utile et dulce in books.”—New World.

“Take up either of the volumes, and open where you please, the reader will at once find his attention chained by something curious and new, though very old: indeed for casual and curious reading D’Israeli is incomparable.”—N. Y. American.

“Had this popular author now for the first time appeared before the reading world, these volumes would be amply sufficient to ensure him a proud rank among the first writers of the age. The work abounds in entertaining anecdotes, pertinent quotations, and philosophical reflections; there in a power of thought and patient research manifested throughout which has rarely if ever been equalled.”—The Classic.

THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL WORKS

OF ALEXANDER WALKER.

New Complete Uniform Edition in three volumes. Price $3 75, muslin.

As an evidence of the great value of these popular writings on
Physiological Science, it is sufficient to state that over thirty
thousand copies of his several works have been sold since their first
appearance in the United States. These works comprise a large amount
of curious and valuable information, equally adapted for popular use,
and the advancement of science.

“If ever writer chose an attractive theme, Mr. Walker is certainly that writer. His volumes contain a vast fund of original, profound, acute, curious, and amusing observation, highly interesting to all.”—London Literary Gazette.

“A rich accession to our literature in every sense. The author comes to the performance of his work with qualifications of a high order, and has supported it with extensive philosophical research, and delightful attractions in illustrative anecdote.”—Spectator.

PATHOLOGY;

FOUNDED ON THE NATURAL SYSTEM OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY,

and the distinction between morbid and curative symptoms, afforded by
pain or its absence, are pointed out, as well as the errors of
Homœopathy and other hypotheses. One vol. Price 75 cents, muslin.

Another work from the pen of this popular Physiologist, embracing a new order of subjects though not the less interesting, as the title fully exhibits. To the many admirers of his former works, this new production cannot fail of receiving a cordial welcome.

ALEX. DUMAS’ NEW WORK,

Second edition, in one vol. 12mo. Price $1 00, muslin.

THE PROGRESS OF DEMOCRACY,

Illustrated in the History of Gaul and France, from the earliest period
to the present day. Translated from the French of Alex. Dumas, by an
American.

“As a historian, our author has displayed eminent ability, as the work now before us abundantly testifies; its style, moreover, is the most delightfully interesting that we remember ever to have met with.”—Knickerbocker.

“The political theory of the work is original, striking and beautifully developed.”—Phila. Ledger.

“One of the most valuable as well as interesting compends that has appeared.”—Boston Atlas.

“This work is one of the most valuable, as well as most attractive, historical compends that have been published for many years.”—Courier and Enquirer.

“It is one of the most useful and readable books of the day: full of striking and profound reflections, and enlivened by a style, the raciness and brilliancy of which no living French writer can surpass.”—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

“We are glad of an opportunity to call the attention of our readers to this work in an English dress: a work, the most original in design, and at least among the most able in execution, of all contemporary productions.”—New World.

“This work is a fit companion for the celebrated volumes of De Tocqueville, which, have recently been issued in a splendid edition by the same publishers.”—Brother Jonathan.

New Medical Work for Family Use,

Preparing for publication, in one vol. 12mo.

THE SICK ROOM;

Or, Inquiries concerning the Domestic Management of Sickness in aid of
Medical Treatment. BY DR. A. T. THOMPSON. With Notes and Additions by
an American Physician.

“Such a volume as the present has long been a desideratum in the opinion of every Medical Practitioner whose practice is sufficiently extensive to enable him to observe the almost general ignorance which prevails respecting the Domestic Management of the Sick-Room, and to feel the influence of that ignorance on his treatment of disease. The most judicious plan of medical management may be devised, and the plainest directions for its fulfilment may be delivered to the attendants of the sick-room; but, without more information than is at present possessed by the females of a household, and especially by those whose duty it is to superintend the execution of the orders of the Physician, little benefit can be anticipated to the invalid. The object of this volume is to afford the instruction which is essential under such circumstances, and to render the management of the sick-room as satisfactory, as it is a labour of love, to her who is unhappily doomed to watch over it.”

JAMES’S NEW HISTORICAL WORK,

Life and Times of Richard Cœur-de-Lion,

BY G. P. R. JAMES, ESQ.,

Author of “Richelieu,” and “The Ancient Regime,” &c. &c. 2 vols. 12mo.
Price $1 50, muslin.

“This new historical work by the author of ‘Richelieu,’ is characterized by all the usual fascinations of style for which his pen is so distinguished; he has also chosen an epoch in English history, the most romantic and chivalrous that could have been selected, and the result has been he has given us a most interesting and attractive book.”—Boston Post.

“Indeed, the general history of the period of which he writes, is so rich and interesting, that had the subject of the Life of Richard fallen into far inferior hands, a readable and entertaining work might have been reasonably expected.”—Albany Evening Journal.

* * * * *

DR. STEWART’S NEW WORK,

Fourth Edition, Improved. One vol. 8vo. Price $3 00, muslin.

A TREATISE

ON THE DISEASES OF INFANTS,

BY C. M. BILLARD,

Founded on recent Clinical Observations and Investigations in
Pathological Anatomy, made at the “Hospice des Enfans-Trouvés,” at
Paris, with a Medico-Legal Dissertation on the Viability of the Child.
Translated from the French, with Notes, by James Stewart, M.D.

“The original work of M. Billard has long held the highest rank among treatises on the diseases of children in this country, though there are many to whom it has hitherto been a sealed book, from their ignorance of the French language. This difficulty is now overcome, and in a way to enhance the value of the work; for it is not merely translated by Dr. Stewart, but enriched with an appendix of valuable comments on M. Billard’s descriptions, supplying occasional deficiencies and affording the reader an opportunity of comparing disease as it appears in France and America.”—Dublin Journal of Medicine, May, 1840.

“The work of M. Billard is generally acknowledged to be one of the most important on the subject of which it treats, of any that have hitherto been published. For minute but cautious reasoning, it may serve as a model; and what it lacks in therapeutic detail, is supplied by the experienced translator in the appendix.”—American Jour. of the Med. Sciences, Nov. 1839.

“We know not where we have found, within the same compass, so much valuable information in relation to the treatment of the diseases of children; and every reader must admire the candour, modesty and philosophical clearness, with which the author sets forth his views, while at the same time he adopts them as his own.”—N. Y. Medical Journal.

enlarged Dublin edition, with additions by Robert Watts, jr., M.D.,

“A work so admirably complete must be hailed by the advocates of Temperance as an invaluable addition to the cause.”—New Era.

THE MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS

OF THE LATE

WILLIAM HAZLITT, ESQ.,

Preparing for speedy publication, in 2 vols. 12mo.,

With a Biographical Sketch of the Author, by Sir E. L. BULWER,
Bart.—with remarks by SARJEANT TALFOURD, &c. Edited by PARK GODWIN,
Esq.

“We have no hesitation in saying that the writings of few essayists surpass the varied excellence of those of Hazlitt;—whether we regard the philosophical subtlety of their spirit of observation, the fearless force of their satire, the unrivalled critical acumen of their literary discussions, the felicitous truth of their pictures of society, or the power, the purity and the brilliancy of their style.”—Court Journal.

“Hazlitt’s relish for wit and humour, and his acute perception of the critical value of the good things he enjoyed, give to these discourses a raciness and gusto.—It is like reading our favourite authors over again, in company with one who not only laughs with us, but points out the felicitous thoughts that please. He was a fine critic and always writes from the impulse of thought; and, brilliant as is his style, he never, like too many of our would-be brilliants, sacrifices sense to sound.”—Spectator.

“Valuing, as we do, the stern, fidelity with which Hazlitt adheres to his subject, we are rejoiced to see these searching papers rescued from the obscurity of magazines and reviews,—they breathe the true feeling of the enthusiastic critic.”—Athenæum.

Attention has of late however been directed to their investigation and this mine of hidden treasures has been partially explored.”—N. Y. Times.

“The author, whoever he may be, is a man of genius. His style is fresh and vigorous, and he displays much ingenuity in weaving an interesting narrative from the vague materials furnished by our aboriginal traditions. The book is worthy of praise if only for its truly American character and the novelty of its descriptions.”—N. Y. Mirror.

GREAT NATIONAL WORK.

Preparing for Publication in royal octavo, an important original work
entitled an

Illustrated Life of Washington,

BY WASHINGTON IRVING.

Profusely Embellished with Engravings from Designs by Chapman and other
eminent artists.

This magnificent work will contain an entirely new biographical memoir
of General Washington, divided into three distinct sections, viz: his
personal and domestic history, his military, and also his political
career; the whole derived from authentic sources, and original
documents, which will be richly embellished by about 500 illustrations
exquisitely engraved on wood and steel by the first artists, from the
beautiful designs of Chapman, including also copies from a series of
great historical pictures in the possession of J. K. Paulding, Esq.
Numerous other facilities have been added to the otherwise ample
resources of this distinguished artist, who will remain with the
several members of the Washington family during the winter for the
purpose of collecting materials, much of which, it is understood will
be exclusive and of great value. In a word, it is the determination of
the publishers to produce a work in every respect worthy of the
present advanced state of art, and befitting the national tribute to
the memory of one whose name is destined to be ever redolent with the
incense of a nation’s praise. The work will form two large octavo
volumes, printed from new and beautiful type, on the finest paper, and
appropriately bound, and gilt. Many of the illustrations are already
in the hands of the engravers, and the work will be produced with all
convenient speed commensurate with the care required for such a costly
publication.

☞ The publication will be commenced early in the ensuing season, in monthly parts.

THE UNITES STATES MAGAZINE

AND

DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

JOHN L. O’SULLIVAN, Editor

By an increase in the number of pages, and by an alteration in its typographical arrangements, the quantity of matter heretofore furnished to the readers of the Democratic Review, will be increased in its future numbers about

SEVENTY-FIVE PER CENT.

The following are among the contributors to this work:

Bancroft, J. F. Cooper, Amos Kendall, Paulding, Sedwick, Gilpin, Parke Godwin, Hawthorne, Davezac, Eames, A. H. Everett, Brownson, J. L. Stephens, Tilden, Whittier, Bryant, Cass, C. J. Ingersoll, Butler, Cambreleng.

The Monthly Financial and Commercial articles, which have frequently been, pronounced by the most intelligent criticisms during the past year in themselves alone worth the subscription to the work, will be continued from the same able hand.

An arrangement has been made, by which the Boston Quarterly Review, edited by Mr. BROWNSON, is now merged in the Democratic Review, the latter being furnished to the subscribers of the former, and Mr. Brownson being a frequent and regular contributor to its pages. It is proper to state that Mr. Brownson’s articles will be marked by his name—though to most readers they would doubtless reveal themselves by their internal evidence; and that it has been agreed, under the circumstances, that these contributions shall be independent of the usual liability to editorial revision and control—the author alone having a similar responsibility for whatever peculiarity of views they may contain, as though appearing in the original work which has been heretofore edited with such distinguished ability by himself.

Terms.—Five Dollars per annum payable in advance; each number will contain one hundred and twelve closely printed pages and embellished with a finely engraved portrait.

Any person taking four copies, or becoming responsible for four subscribers,

WILL BE ENTITLED TO A FIFTH COPY GRATIS.

Committees or Societies on remitting to the Publishers $50 in current New-York funds, can receive thirteen copies of the work.

Persons residing in the country, who may wish to receive the work by mail, can have it punctually forwarded, strongly enveloped, by remitting the amount of subscription to the publishers.

Remittances may be made by enclosing the money and mailing the same in the presence of a Postmaster. Banknotes that pass current in business generally in the State of N. Y. will be received.

The work will be punctually delivered free of expense to subscribers in the principal cities of the Union on the first of the month, and forwarded to mail subscribers and agents on the 25th of the month preceding publication. All communications for the Editor to be addressed (post-paid) to
