BY J. THOMAS, M.D., and T. BALDWIN. One volume of over 2000 imperial 8vo. pages. $6.00.
It has evidently been prepared with great labor, and, as far as I can judge, from the best materials and sources of information.... I have no doubt it will be found an extremely useful work, well calculated to supply a want which must have been severely felt by almost every class of readers.—From the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT.
Having long felt the necessity of a work of this kind, I have spent no small amount of time in examining yours. It seems to me so important to have a comprehensive and authentic gazetteer in all our colleges, academies, and schools, that I am induced in this instance to depart from my general rule in regard to giving recommendations.... The rising generation will be greatly benefited, both in the accuracy and extent of their information, should your work be kept as a book of reference on the table of every professor and teacher in the country.—From the Hon. HORACE MANN, LL.D., President of Antioch College.
It gives me pleasure to be able to say that I have found it, as far as examined, not only very correct, but very full and comprehensive; and that I consider it a desideratum alike to the scholar and the man of business, as well as a very valuable contribution to our American literature.—From ELIPHALET NOTT, D.D., LL.D., President of Union College.
This is a great work, and executed with immense labor and consummate ability.... It would be difficult to find another volume in the English language which contains, in the same space, an equal amount of important, well-digested, and clearly-expressed information. I see not how the office or the counting-room, the family or the school, can anywhere afford to do without this book.—From Prof. C. E. STOWE, Andover Theo. Seminary.
Goodrich's Man upon the Sea.
Man upon the Sea; or, A History of Maritime Adventure, Exploration, and Discovery, from the earliest ages to the present time: Comprising a detailed account of remarkable voyages, ancient as well as modern. By FRANK B. GOODRICH, author of the "Letters of Dick Tinto," "The Court of Napoleon," etc. With numerous illustrations, by Van Ingen & Snyder. One vol. 8vo. $3.00.
Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth.
This popular work, which had reached its second edition a few days after publication, will always remain a favorite with the public. It is complete, covering the whole history of maritime adventure, and yet it gives lively details of the doings of celebrated voyagers, from the first navigator down to the celebrated voyagers who laid the Atlantic submarine telegraph cable. Mr. Goodrich's vivacity and agreeableness as a narrator are exhibited not less auspiciously here than in his celebrated "Court of Napoleon," which was recognized as one of the most delightful of court histories. The embellishments are very numerous, and strictly appropriate to the subject.—Home Gazette.

These several editions of the Waverley Novels all possess the advantage of a good readable type, fine paper, and first-rate printing, and are afforded at a reasonable price. The illustrations are taken from the celebrated Abbotsford edition, (now out of print,) and are engraved in a very fine style. It is superfluous to commend these masterly productions of genius to the reading public. They are the model and standard of all subsequent writers of fiction, and for dramatic power they are unapproachable.
Bloomfield's Greek Testament.

Book of Days.
The Book of Days: A New, Popular, and Interesting Miscellany. Edited by ROBERT CHAMBERS. This work is published in Parts periodically, and is designed to be completed in two, or at the utmost three, volumes. It will consist of—
I. Matters connected with the Church Calendar, including the Popular Festivals, Saints' Days, and other Holidays, with illustrations of Christian antiquities in general.
II. Phenomena connected with the Seasonal Changes.
III. Folk-lore of the United Kingdom: Namely, Popular Notions and Observances connected with times and seasons.
IV. Notable Events, Biographies, and Anecdotes connected with the days of the year.
V. Articles of Popular Archæology, of an entertaining character, tending to illustrate the progress of civilization, manners, literature, and ideas in those kingdoms.
VI. Curious, Fugitive, and Inedited Pieces.
It is the design of this work, while not discouraging the progressive spirit of the age, to temper it with affectionate feelings towards what is poetical and elevated, honest and of good report; while in no way discountenancing great material interests, to evoke an equal activity in those feelings beyond self on which depend remoter but infinitely greater interests. The publishers wish that these volumes should be a repertory of old fireside ideas in general, as well as a means of improvement.
The work will be printed in a new, elegant, and readable type, and will be illustrated with an abundance of wood engravings.
