PUBLISH THE FOLLOWING WORKS BY T.S. ARTHUR.
LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF REAL LIFE, with an autobiography and portrait of the author, over 600 pages octavo, with fine tinted engravings.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
In this volume may be found a "moral suasion," which cannot but effect for good all who read. The mechanical execution of the work is very beautiful throughout.--_New Haven Palladium_.
It is by far the most valuable book ever published of his works, inasmuch as it is enriched with a very interesting, though brief autobiography.--_American Courier_.
No family library is complete without a copy of this book--_Scott"s Weekly Paper_.
No better or worthier present could be made to the young, no offering more pure, charitable, and practicable, could be tendered to those who are interested in the truly benevolent reforms of the day.--_G.o.dey"s Lady"s Book_.
The paper, the engravings, the binding, and the literary contents, are all calculated to make it a favourite.--_Penn.
Inquirer_.
This volume cannot be too highly recommended.--_N.Y. Tribune_.
More good has been effected, than by any other single medium that we know of.--_N.Y. Sun_.
The work should be upon the centre-table of every parent in the land.--_National Temperance Magazine_.
A single story is worth the price charged for the book.--_Union, Newburyport, Ma.s.s_.
ARTHUR"S SKETCHES OF LIFE AND CHARACTER, an octavo volume of over 400 pages, beautifully ill.u.s.trated, and bound in the best English muslin, gilt.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
The present volume, containing more than four hundred finely-printed octavo pages, is ill.u.s.trated by spirited engravings, and made particularly valuable to those who like to "see the face of him they talk withal," by a correct likeness of the author, finely engraved on steel.--_Neal"s Gazette_.
In the princely mansions of the Atlantic merchants, and in the rude log cabins of the backwoodsman, the name of Arthur is equally known and cherished as the friend of virtue.--_Graham"s Magazine_.
We would not exchange our copy of these sketches, with its story of "The Methodist Preacher," for any one of the gilt-edged and embossed annuals which we have yet seen.--_Lady"s National Magazine_.
The first story in the volume, ent.i.tled, "The Methodist Preacher, or Lights and Shadows in the Life of an Itinerant,"
is alone worth the price of the work.--_Evening Bulletin_.
It is emphatically a splendid work.--_Middletown Whig_.
Its worth and cheapness should place it in every person"s hands who desire to read an interesting book.--_Odd Fellow, Boonsboro_.
"The Methodist Preacher," "Seed Time and Harvest," "Dyed in the Wool," are full of truth, as well as instruction, and any one of them is worth the whole price of the volume.--_Lowell Daystar, Rev. D.C. Eddy, Editor_.
There is a fascination about these sketches which so powerfully interests the reader, that few who commence one of them will part with it till it is concluded; and they will bear reading repeatedly.--_Norfolk and Portsmouth Herald_.
Those who have not perused these model stories have a rich feast in waiting, and we shall be happy if we can be instrumental in pointing them to it.--_Family Visitor, Madison, Geo_.
No library for family reading should be considered complete without this volume, which is as lively and entertaining in its character, as it is salutary in its influence.--_N.Y.
Tribune_.
The work is beautifully ill.u.s.trated. Those who are at all acquainted with Arthur"s writings need hardly be told that the present work is a prize to whoever possess it.--_N.Y. Sun_.
We know no better book for the table of any family, whether regarded for its neat exterior or valuable contents.--_Vox Populi, Low_.
The name of the author is in itself a sufficient recommendation of the work.--_Lawrence Sentinel_.
T.S. Arthur is one of the best literary writers of the age.--_Watchman, Circleville, Ohio_.
The name alone of the author is a sufficient guaranty to the reading public of its surpa.s.sing merit.--_The Argus, Gallatin, Miss_.
Probably he has not written a line which, dying, he could wish to erase.--_Parkersburg (Va.) Gazette_.
THE WAY TO PROSPER, AND OTHER TALES,
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
This is one of Mr. Arthur"s best books. His object, and he always has in view a n.o.ble one, is to recommend family union, a firm adherence to the law which requires us to respect the holy tie of family union, which requires brother to a.s.sist brother, and sister, sister. By means of a lively and pleasing narrative, he shows that this principle is not only right, but politic, and that the law of family unions is really the true way to prosper. We commend the volume to our readers as one of the best and most profitable of the many useful works which have been produced by the same accomplished writer.--_G.o.dey"s Lady"s Book_.
This is the t.i.tle of a small volume published by Mr. J.W.
Bradley, of this city. It is from the pen of Mr. T.S.
Arthur--the story of two families, one of which prospers by the union of good-will which prevails among the brothers, and leads them always to aid each other in their worldly undertakings; while the other goes to rack and ruin, because the brothers always act upon the maxim, "Every one for himself." The moral is excellent, and cannot be too earnestly and widely inculcated.
Mr. Bradley has produced this little work in very handsome style, with original embellishments from the fertile pencil of Mr. Croome.--_Scotts Weekly_.
GOLDEN GRAINS FROM LIFE"S HARVEST FIELD,
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
It is not too much to say, that the Golden Grains here presented to the reader, are such as will be productive of a far greater amount of human happiness than those, in search of which, so many are willing to risk domestic peace, health, and even life itself, in a distant and inhospitable region.
