J. T. HEADLEY'S WORKS--Uniform Edition, 12 vols., in sheep, for Libraries and District Schools.

"Mr. Headley's peculiarities as an author are universally
known. He is one of the most vigorous and spirit-stirring
writers of the day, especially graphic and powerful in
narratives of exciting events. No one can fail to get from
his descriptions most graphic, vivid, and lasting
impressions of the scenes of which he speaks."--_N. Y.
Courier and Enquirer._

"His descriptions are graphic, his history correct, and his
summing up character scarcely suffers by a comparison with
similar pages in Tacitus."--_N. Y. Evening Post._

"He speaks heartily, earnestly, truthfully; and the warm
heart answers to his voice."--_N. Y. Observer._

"Each one of his Biographies is a grand historical picture,
conveying in a most impressive way, a true idea of the
events of the time."--_Cincinnati Herald._

"Mr. Headley is truly eloquent in his description of
character. He presents to you the strong points of the man
with a clearness that seems to place him before you as an
old acquaintance."--_Cleveland Herald._

Whatever critics may choose to say, Mr. H. will never lack
readers. The stir and fire of his descriptions will touch a
popular chord. In describing the battle field and the
tumultuous stirring life of the camp, Mr. H. is what Cooper
was upon the Sea.--_N. Y. Evangelist._

LIVING ORATORS OF AMERICA. By Rev. E. L. MAGOON. 1 vol 12mo., with portraits. Price, $1.25.

THE ORATORS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. By Rev. E. L. MAGOON. 1 vol. 12mo., with portraits. Price, $1.25.

Mr. Magoon is a decided original. Both his thoughts and his
manner of expressing them, are peculiar and striking.--_N.
Y. Evangelist._

Mr. Magoon, who is a vivid, nervous writer, has thrown a
charm around the character of the men whose history he has
delineated, that will cause the book to be read with unusual
interest.--_Christian Secretary._

These volumes contain exceedingly clear sketches of our
greatest orators; so arranged, contrasted and compared, that
the peculiar powers and excellencies of each are set before
the mind in a strong light.--_Springfield Republican._

Every American will read these works with national pride,
and have his better feelings and sentiments enkindled and
strengthened.--_Western literary Messenger._

THE WOMEN OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. By Mrs. E. F. ELLET. 8 vols. 12mo., with portraits. Price, $3.50.

The work fills a place in our Revolutionary history that
would scarcely be complete without it; indeed, we consider
it as one of the most valuable contributions that have been
made to the history of our country in a long time.--_Hunt's
Magazine._

We counsel especially the young women of our country to lay
aside their novels, at least until they shall have read "The
Women of the Revolution." Those of them who have souls will
find it replete with interest and instruction.--_N. Y.
Tribune._

The narratives are brief, spirited, and profoundly
interesting; especially as showing how the toils, the
privations and dangers of the war, made themselves felt,
perhaps even more keenly, in the homes than on the
battle-fields of the Revolutionary champions.--_N. Y.
Commercial._

The authoress has succeeded in collecting a large amount of
new and important facts, illustrative of the heroism evinced
in action and suffering, by the women who bore their part in
the Revolution, which have no place in the political
histories of the time, and have been derived almost entirely
from private sources.--_N. Y. Journal of Commerce._

The rich store of information contained in these volumes,
has been procured at the cost of much and laborious
research, from the surviving relatives of the heroines,
scattered through various parts of the Union. Personal
recollections have been recorded, family papers and letters
examined, and the work thus made a faithful and vivid
exhibition of the _domestic scenes_ of the war.--_Charleston
Inquirer._

The conception of the book is at once beautiful and
patriotic, and its execution is worthy of its subject, and
worthy of the reputation of its gifted authoress--_Albany
Atlas._

These sketches are of thrilling interest, as we gather from
a hasty glance at their pages. The narrative is clear,
concise, and very agreeably written.--_N. B. Mercury._

BRACE'S HUNGARY IN 1851: With an Experience of the Austrian Police. By CHARLES LORING BRACE. (Beautifully illustrated, with a map of Hungary).

"Upon the particular field of Hungary, this is by far the
most complete and reliable work in the language; a work that
all should read who would understand the institutions, the
character, and the spirit of a people who just now have so
urgent a claim on our sympathy."--_N. Y. Independent._

"There is probably not a work within the reach of the
English scholar that can afford him such a satisfactory view
of Hungary as it now is, as this work of Mr.
Brace."--_Christian Intelligencer._

"It will not disappoint public expectation. It bears the
strongest evidence of being most reliable in its
descriptions and facts."--_Boston Journal._

"We have seldom taken in hand a book which bears the reader
along with an interest so intense and sustained."--_Watchman
and Reflector._

"It is a graphic picture of the people and institutions of
Hungary at the present moment by one who writes what he saw
and heard, and who was well qualified co judge."--_Troy
Daily Post._

"He mingled much in the social life of every class of the
Hungarian people, and there can be no question that he has
presented a faithful picture of the condition, manners,
customs, and feelings of the Magyars."--_Portland
Transcript._

"The best and most reliable work that we possess, in regard
to Hungary as it now is, and the only one written from
personal observation."--_Phil. Evening Bulletin._

"It tells us precisely what the mass of readers wish to know
in regard to the condition of Hungary since the Revolution.
Having travelled over large portions of the country on foot,
and mingling freely with the inhabitants in their houses,
the author relates his various experiences, many of which
are sufficiently strange to figure in a romance."--_N. Y.
Tribune._

"This book is exceedingly entertaining. These are clear,
unambitious narratives, sound views, and abundant
information. We get a perspicuous view of the people, life,
and character of the country, and learn more of the real
condition of things than we could elsewhere obtain."--_N. Y.
Evangelist._

"Its narrative is fluent and graceful, and gives the most
vivid and complete, and the most faithful picture of Hungary
ever presented to American readers."--_Courier and
Inquirer._

"For graphic delineation, and extent of knowledge of the
subject described, Mr. Brace has no equal, at least in
print."--_The Columbian and Far West._

"We have read it carefully, and have no hesitation in saying
that it presents a complete idea of Hungary and her people
as they were and are. Mr. Brace has the happy and rare
faculty of making the reader see what he saw, and feel what
he felt."--_The Eclectic._

"He has succeeded in gathering the fullest and most
satisfactory amount of information in regard to Hungary that
we have seen. His description of the Hungarian Church and
the religious character of the people are especially
interesting, and the whole volume is a valuable addition to
our knowledge of the interior of Europe."--_Watchman and
Observer._

"This excellent work is not one of proesy details and dry
statistics, but is composed of the most familiar and
intimate glimpses of Hungarian life, written in the most
graceful style."--_Worcester Spy._

RURAL HOMES; Or, SKETCHES OF HOUSES suited to American Country Life. With over 70 Original Plans, Designs, &c. By GERVASE WHEELER. 1 vol. 12mo., Price, $1.25.

It commences with the first foot-tread upon the spot chosen
for the house; details the considerations that should weigh
in selecting the site; gives models of buildings differing
in character, extent, and cost; shows how to harmonize the
building with the surrounding scenery; teaches now
healthfully to warm and ventilate; assists in selecting
furniture and the innumerable articles of utility and
ornament used in constructing and finishing, and concludes
with final practical directions, giving useful limits as to
drawing up written descriptions, specifications and
contracts.

"In this neat and tasteful volume, Mr. Wheeler has condensed
the results of an accomplished training in his art, and the
liberal professional practice of it.

"We can confidently recommend this elaborate production to
the attention of gentlemen who are about building or
renovating their country houses, to professional architects,
and to all readers of discrimination, who wish to know what
is truly eloquent in this beautiful art, and to cultivate a
taste worthy to cope with "judgment of wisest censure."

"The cost of such establishments is carefully considered, no
less than the comforts they should afford, the display they
can (honestly) pretend to, and all the adjuncts that go to
complete the ideal of a convenient and elegant
mansion."--_N. Y. Mirror._

"It is extremely practical, containing such simple and
comprehensive directions for all wishing at any time to
build, being in fact the sum of the author's study and
experience as an architect for many years."--_Albany
Spectator._

"Mr. Wheeler's remarks convey much practical and useful
information, evince good taste and a proper appreciation of
the beautiful, and no one should build a rural house without
first hearing what he has to recommend."--_Philadelphia
Presbyterian._

"Important in its subject, careful and ample in its details,
and charmingly attractive in its style. It gives all the
information that would be desired as to the selection of
sites--the choice of appropriate styles, the particulars of
plans, materials, fences, gateways, furniture, warming,
ventilation, specifications, contracts, &c., concluding with
a chapter on the intellectual and moral effect of rural
architecture."--_Hartford Religious Herald._

"A book very much needed, for it teaches people how to build
comfortable, sensible, beautiful country houses. Its
conformity to common sense, as well as to the sense of
beauty, cannot be too much commended."--_N. Y. Courier &
Enquirer._

"No person can read this book without gaining much useful
knowledge, and it will be a great aid to those who intend to
build houses for their own use. It is scientific without
being so interlarded with technical terms as to confuse the
reader, and contains all the information necessary to build
a house from the cellar to the ridge pole. It is a parlor
book, or a book for the workshop, and will be valuable in
either place."--_Buffalo Commercial._

"This work should be in the hands of every one who
contemplates building for himself a home. It is filled with
beautifully executed elevations and plans of country houses
from the most unpretending cottage to the villa. Its
contents are simple and comprehensive, embracing every
variety of house usually needed."--_Lowell Courier._

"To all who desire a delightful rural retreat of "lively
cottagely" of getting a fair equivalent of comfort and
tastefulness, for a moderate outlay, we commend the Rural
Homes of Mr. Wheeler."--_N. Y. Evening Post._

RURAL LETTERS, AND OTHER RECORDS OF THOUGHTS AT LEISURE, embracing Letters from under a Bridge, Open Air Musings in the City, "Invalid Ramble in Germany," "Letters from Watering Places," &c., &c. 1 vol. Fourth Edition.

"There is scarcely a page in it in which the reader will not
remember, and turn to again with a fresh sense of delight.
It bears the imprint of nature in her purest and most joyous
forms, and under her most cheering and inspiring
influences."--_N. Y. Tribune._

fitting accessories from life, we would offer this volume as
the best proof that the secret has not yet died
out."--_Literary World._

PEOPLE I HAVE MET, or Pictures of Society and People of Mark--drawn under a thin veil of fiction. By N. P. WILLIS. 1 vol., 12mo., Third Edition.

"It is a collection of twenty or more of the stories which
have blossomed out from the summer soil of the author's
thoughts within the last few years. Each word in some of
them the author seems to have picked as daintily, for its
richness or grace, or its fine fitness to his purpose, as if
a humming-bird were picking upon his quivering wing the
flower whose sweets he would lovingly rifle, or a belle were
culling the stones for her bridal necklace."--_N. Y.
Independent._

sketches in the Old World, and concludes with some thrilling
reminiscences of distinguished ladies, including the Belles
of New York, etc."--_The Republic._

autobiographical. Such of these sketches as we have read,
are in Mr. Willis's happiest vein--a vein, by the way, in
which he is unsurpassed."--_Sartain's Magazine._

aside until they have perused every line of its
contents."--_Jersey Journal._

are herein contained."--_N. Y. Evangelist._

"In the present volume, which is filled with all sorts of
enticements, we prefer the descriptions of nature to the
sketches of character, and the dusty road-side grows
delightful under the touches of Willis's blossoming-dropping
pen; and when we come to the mountain and lake, it is like
revelling in all the fragrant odors of Paradise."--_Boston
Atlas._

LECTURES ON ART--AND POEMS. By WASHINGTON ALLSTON. Edited by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. Contents--Lectures on Art, pages 3-167--Aphorisms, sentences written by Mr. Allston on the walls of his Studio, pages 167-179--The Hypochondriac, pages 179-199--Poems, pages 199-317. 1 vol. 12mo., Price, $1.25.

"There is a store of intellectual wealth in this handsome
volume. It is a book of thought. Its contents are the rich
and tasteful productions of the scholar and artist, who had
mind to perceive and skill to portray much that is unseen by
ordinary minds, as well as intelligence and power to exhibit
whatever is grand and beautiful both in the physical and
moral world."--_Christian Observer._

"These are the records of one of the purest spirits and most
exalted geniuses of which this country can boast. The
intense love of the beautiful, the purity, grace and
gentleness which made him incomparably the finest artist of
the age, lend their charm and their power to these
productions of his pen. *** There are in his poems feeling,
delicacy, taste, and the keenest sense of harmony which
render them faultless."--_N. Y. Evangelist._

"As a writer we know of no one who in his writings has
exhibited such an appreciation of what constitutes beauty in
art, correctness in form, or the true principles of
composition."--_Providence Journal._

"We commend them to the intellectual and the thoughtful, for
we know that no one can read them without being wiser, and
we believe the better."--_Albany State Register._

"The production of a most ethereal spirit instinctively
awake to all the harmonies of creation."--_Albany Argus._

"The exquisitely pure and lofty character of the author of
these lectures and poetic fragments is well expressed in
them. It gave their structure a freshness and calmness, and
their tone a purity that remain to charm us, and that are
equally admirable and delightful."--_The Independent._

"His lectures possess great attractions for every one aiming
at cultivation of mind and refinement of taste, while his
poems, which elicited so high praise when published singly,
are sure to receive it when as now embodied in a more
classic form."--_Natchez Courier._

"The lovers of American literature and art will rejoice in
the possession of these matured fruits of the genius which
seemed alike skilled in the use of the pen and
pencil."--_Newark Daily Advertiser._

POEMS AND PROSE WRITINGS. By RICHARD HENRY DANA. 2 vols. 12mo., Price, $2.50.

"Mr. Dana's writings are addressed to readers of thought,
sensibility and experience. By tenderness, by force, in
purity, the poet paints the world, treading in safety the
dizziest verge of passion, through all things, honorable to
all men; the just style resolving all perplexities, a rich
instruction and solace in these volumes to the young and old
who are to come hereafter."--_Literary World._

"Mr. Dana is evidently a close observer of nature, and
therefore his thoughts are original and fresh."--_True
Democrat._

"In addition to the Poems and Prose Writings included in the
former edition of his works, they contain some short,
practical pieces, and a number of reviews and essays
contributed to different periodicals, some of them as much
as thirty years since, and now republished for the first
time--as the expression of the inmost soul, these writings
bear a strong stamp of originality."--_N. Y. Tribune._
