ENGLISH LITERATURE OF THE 18TH CENTURY.
Now Edition. ?
EC. A J. BIDDLE, No ft South Fifth street,
? Philadelphia, have reooutly published a new,
storeotyjrt) edition of
English Literature of the Nineteenth Century,
On tho plan of the author's ' Compondium of English
Literature," and supplementary to it. Designed for
colleges and advanced classes in schools as wel as
forprivate reading. By Charles D. Cleveland.
The "Compendium of English Literature,"by Prof.
Cleveland, comprises biographical sketches and se
lections from the writings of English authors, from
the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, chronologi
cally arranged ; together with copious Notes, explan
atory, illustrative, Acs The volume bow advertised,
which is arranged on the same plan as the " Com
pendium," comprises in its list of authors suck as
flourished in the eighteenth oentury, but dud in the
present; togother with thoso strictly of the nine
teenth oentury, whother living or dead.
The present edition of ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century " contains biographical sketches
and selections from the writings of one hundred and
six authors, the names of twenty-aoven of whom did
not appear in tho table ol contents of the former edi
tion ; togother with many improvements throughout
the volume.
Prof. C.'s two volumes of English Literature are
now extensively used as toxt-books in colleges, acad
emies, and the highor class of somioaries, throughout
the United States. The following opinions relative
to "English Literature of the Nineteenth Century,"
ara selected from a large number equally, commenda
tory of the work:
From Prof. Chauntry A. Goodrich, D. D., of Yule.
College.
" I consider Prof. Cleveland's ' English Literature
of the Nineteenth Century ' an appropriate sequel to
his ' Compendium.' The author natshown the same
just and delicate appreciation of literary excellencc
in this, as in tho fortnor volume; and, as it reaobes
down to our times, it will be still more interesting to
a largo nortion of the public, and especially to the
young. Few persons can understand what an amount
of reading, tnought, nice discrimination, and labori
ous coi densation of knowledge, are requisite to the
production of such a work ; and just in proportion as
men toil more extensively in this Geld, will be the
estimate they will put Upon this result of the author's
labors."
From George B. Emerson, Esq., of Boston.
"I have examined your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Contury,' and I like it exceedingly It
is extremely well and fairly done. The biographioal
notioes are just and discriminating ; and, wttilo they
are long enough to gratify tho curiosity we have to
know something of an author, they are so spirited as
to awaken a desire to know more. The selections
are admirablo. I have adopted the work as a text
oook for my first class, every individual of which is
now preparing, undor its guidance, to give a fuller
account of tho writings of some one chosen author."
From Rev. B. P. Aydelott, D. D.,of Cincinnati.
" I have oxainincd with much care, and still great
er pleasure, and, I trust, not a little profit, your
* English Literature of the Nineteenth Century. *
* It is, I believe, the richest collection of gems in
our language. There is nothing in it I would omit,
and yet it is not too large for popular use. Consid
ering the very brief limits to wbioh you were obliged
to confine yourself, I am surprised at the fullness and
riohness of your biographical details. Your most
difficult and deluate task, howover, was the critical
judgment to be passod uptn each author; and here
1 think you have been very Happy?discriminating
and just, and yet kind. * * But I would feel that
whatever I have said about the volume, however
true, ought to be considered as of little worth, could
I not add?as I cheerfully do?a atro g testimony to
iti high moral tone and eminently Christian spirit.
The general reader ctnnot fail to be interested, the
student profited, the scholar delightod, and the man
of piety pleased, with your 1 English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century.'

" HOLLO ON THE ATLANTIC,"
BEAUTIFULLY illustrated with original designs.
By Jacob Abbott.
" Rollo on tho Atlantic " is the first book of a se
ries to be published under the general title of Hollo's
Tour in Europe.
Extraot from the Preface :
'? The books aro intended to be books of instruc>
tion, rather than of mere amusement; and, in peru
sing them, the reader mriy feel assured that all the in
formation wbieh they contain, not only in respect to
the countries visited, and to the customs, usages, and
modes of life that are described, but also in regard to
tho general character of the incidents and advonturcs
that the young travellers meet with, is in most striot
accordance with fact. The main design of the narra
tive is thus the communication of useful knowledge;
and everything whioh they contain, except what is
strictly personal, in relation to the actors in tho story, j
may be depended upon as exactly and scrupulously
true." Published by .

PROSPISl'm OF THK PRdHlBITIONIST.
" If any State deems the retail and internal traffic
in ardent spirit* iujuriouM to it* oititens, aud calcu
lated to product) idleness, vico, or debauchery, I nee
nothing in the ConBtitution of the Unitod btates to
prevent it from regulating or restraining the traffic,
or from prohibiting it altogether, if it thinks proper.''
Chief Justice raney.
ON or bofore the 1st of Juuuary, 1854, the Execu
tive Committee o 1 the New xork State Tempor
rance Society will issuo the first number of a Month
ly Temperance Journal, under the title of "The Pro
H1UIT10MI8T."
Its Size.?It will be printed on a double medium
sheet, making eight quarto page*, of four oolumns to
a page; and, excluding advertisements, each number
will ooutain an amount of reading matter equal at
least to that furnished by our larger-sited daily jour
nals, or to that of an ordinary duodecimo volume ot
150 pages.
Its Object.?To advocate the Causa of Temper
ance generally, and especially tho Legislative Prohibi
tion of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages, to pro
pare the minds of the mosses for such Prohibition, by
showing its expediency and Necessity, and to socure,
by all the influence it may legitimately exert, tho
vigorous enforceluont of Prohibitory Laws when ob
tained.
Its Field.?Dealing with general principles, with
arguments alike applicable to o very community whero
the trufflo exists and with facts illustrative of these
arguments and principles, the paper will bo National
in its spirit, in its soope, in its purpose, and, wo tru*t,
it will be National in its circulation and influence.
Such is our aim and expectation. We desire to see
the Principle of Prohibition established in Stato after
State, till it becomes the rocognisod policy of tho Na
tion. It is our ambition to bear a part in this great
work, and to this end The Prohibitionist is estab
lished, not as tho organ ot a society merely, but of a
Oreat Reformatory Movement.
* Its Necessity.?Tho existing Tetnporance Jour
nals have little, if any, circulation outside of tho Tem
perance Ranks. Thoir price almost necessarily re
stricts them to the friends of the cauge. The Pro
hibitionist is designed for circulation (instead of
tracts) among tho indifferent and the hostile. For
this purposo it is put at a prioe so low as to onable
the friends of Tomperanco iu every school district, by
combined action and at an inconsiderable exponso,
to place a copy in each family that will cousent to re
ceive it.
Its Prici.?One copy for one year - $0 50
Throe, to one address, one year 1 ?0
Seven do. do. ? - 2 00
And for each additional four copies, $1.00 will bo
added, for any quantity less than fifty copies.
For fifty copies to one address - - $11 00
For 100 do. do. - - - 20 00
No subscription reoeived for less than one yoar,
and in every case the order must bo accompanied by
tho money.
The paper will be under the general direction of
the Exeoutive Committee, who have roceived ample
assurances of literary aid from not a few of the ablest
and most eminent writers in the temporanco ranks
throughout tho Union.
The work will be stereotyped, and back nu tubers
can be supplied to new subscribers at any timo during
the year.
All orders should be addressed to 0. Scovill, Pub
lishing Agent, Albany.
Communications for the paper, or in relation to tho
interests of the cause generally, should bo dirooted to
Wm. H. Burleigh, Corresponding Secretary.
In behalf of the New York State Temperance So
ciety : EDWARD C. DKLAVAN, President.
Executive Committee.?Henry Mandeville, Reuben
II. Walworth, John 0. Cole, I. N. Wyekoff, William
Richardson, Edgar B. Day, Hermon Camp, B. P.
Staats, Oliver Soovill.
nT" Tho Coinmittoe request all oditors in tho Uni
ted States to give tho above ono insertion in their
oolumns. To all who comply with this roquest, we
will send the Prohibitionist for one year, without an
exchange, unless they choose to add to our obligation
hy sending their papers also, which would, of course,
be most thankfully received. Jan. 2?dtf

CHORAL ADVOCATK
IS the cheapest and belt Musical Paper in the
world. This Journal, which has heretofore boen
published monthly, commences its fifth year in Jan
uary next and thenceforward it will be published
every two weeks?on every other Thursday; thereby
giving more than twice as mueh matter, without any
increase in price. Each number contains sixteen
quarto pages, four of which are new music, consist
ing of glees, hymn tunes, chants, anthems, dedication
and holyday pieces, and, in short, every variety of
music adapted to purposes of religious worship, to
public occasions, and to the home eirole; all of which
will be of a practical character, and such as oan be
sung by peruana of ordinarv musical attainments. In
the editorial department of the Review are engaged
(in addition to Mr Cady, the former editor) gentle
mon of tho highest talent and ripest musical experi
ence, among whom are George F. Root, William B.
Bradbury, Thomas Bastings, and Lowell Mason
and its circle of correspondence, home and foroign,
is complete. The Roview will also be a regular me
dium for the announcement of new musical pnblica
tions by all the leading publishing houses in tho
Union. The subscription list of this paper is now
larger than that of any similar journal in the world,
and the new arrangements, rendering it the cheapest
as well as (it is hoped) the roost valuable musical
paper ever published, must largely increase its al
ready unparallolod circulation.
Term* ?Ono dollar per annum, or six copies for
five dollars, always in advance.
Qy The music alone in a volume would cost over
five dollars in tho usual form. Beside this, thero will
be an immense amount of musical news, essays, crit
icism, instruction, Ac., all for only ono dollar! Ev
ery one feeling a particle of Interest in the cause of
music will suroly subscribe.

THK GREAT AMERICAN TGMPUKAMK TALK.

BEN DABBY;
OR,
THE WIAL AND WOE OF SOCIAL LIFE.
One Volume 12 mo, 81.
TDK object of this tale is to exhibit in Jifferont
phases, in high life and low'lifo. the accursed
effects of intemperate drinking, the bane of social
life, the cum of civilized man. The characters are
well and sharply drawn, and tho various scones are
described with much spirit and graphic effoct. * *
* Wo are disposed to regard the book as tho best
of its kind Hut ha3 yet appoared.?Boston Traveller.
It is not oftou that we road a story of any kind,
but we havq broken our proetioo, ana huvo read this
book not otly with pleasure, but with a gratification
which but wiry few novels havo rvor afforded us. It
is a quiet and simple, but still striking and effoctivo
picturo of American social life.?Chicago Tribune.
Written ?ith marked ability.?Zanr.sville Courier.
A thrilling picture of tho effects of that infornal
bane of social life, intemporanco.?Richmond Pal
ladium.
The stylo ii attractive and fascinating ; there is a
freshness and originality about it, that is very pleas
ing. * * * One of its chief inorits is the excel
lence of Us conversations.?Enquirer.
lias 90 many thrilling passages and well-drawn
charuct-rs, that you read it with absorbed attention.
It caniot fail to achievo for Mrs. Collins un enviable
popularity. She takes us with hor to the drunkard s
homo, and tells of the hunger and tho fear, tho toil
and tbo suffering, that are thcro. She paints, with
a woman's dulicate skill, tho meek patience, the
long-abused, but unchanging love of the drunkard's
wife, touches the deepest chords of tho heart, and
makes them vibrate with pity and with indignation.
Chrittiun Herald.
Though Mrs. Collins has already hosts of admi
rers ol her litorary productions, this work, we pre
dict, will increase tnat number ten fold, and give
her a reputation worthy of her high talents.?New
Albany Tribune.
Tho stylo is easy, natural, boautifal, chaste, and
at times very oloquont. Wo would commend it es
pecially to young ladies, that they may see to what
dangers they aro exposed, in forming alliances with
the fashionable in high lifo.?Ohio Organ.
A doeply interesting and powerful work. It vivid
ly portrays some of the terrific exploiu of strong
drink in both high and low life. Nor are such scenes
as it depicts either imaginary or few. Let this book
circulate. It has a beneficent aim, and is the vehicle
of admirably old and most salnlary lessons?Fret
by terian.
* ? * Has sketchod it in its daintiest form of
fascination, as well as in its glim and dismal aspect
of open degradation. Rarely has a woman ventured
to hold tbo torch to such a dark recess of human
wot.?Dally Times.
We know of no passage, anywhere, more uniquely
beautiful, more intensely absorbing, more overpow
ering in the pathetic, than the thirty-fourth chapter.
It is indeed a gem. Wo doubt whether tbo celebra
ted chapter devoted to the death of Eva, in L'nclo
Tom's Cabin, is superior. * * * It is certainly
the most powerful temperanco tale that we have ever
perused.?Journal and Messenger.
Beautifully written. * # * A work of great
strongth and power.?Gospel Herald.
* * * The incidents dramatic, and the inter
est intense to the end.? Ohio Stalesman.
Wields an easy pen, and sketches men and man
ners to the life.?Presbyterian Herald.
Graphic, truthful, chaste, and deeply affecting, the
?tory winds itself into our footings, and wo bwouit
absorbed in the plot, as if wo bohcld before our own
eyes tho roalities of tho author's delineations.?Dai
ly Hun.

THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST,
THE LKADINft
Weekly Agricultural Paper if the Country.
THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, a weekly
Periodical of sixteen large ciu-arto pages, making
an aiiuual volumo of 832 pages of nearly double the
Bice of those in tho tirat tun volumes of the Agricul
turist.
It ia beautifully printed with typecast ex firefly
for it, and on the heat of clear white paper, with wide
margin, so that tho numbers can be easily stitched
or bound together.
A copious Index is weekly added, which will h?
fully amplified at the md of the yoar, fur the bound
work.
Comprehensive in its Character,
Each volume will eontain all mailer worth record
ing, which transpires either at home or abroad, nnd
which ean serve to instruct or interest the Farmer,
tho Planter, the Fruit-Grower, the Gardener aud
the Stock Breeder; thus making it tho most et-ni
pleto and useful Agricultural Publication of the day.
Correct and valiuible Market Reports.
Tho Markets will be carefully reported, giving the
actual transactions which take pi nee fiom week to
week, in Grain, Provisions, Cattle, Ac., thus keep
ing our readers constantly and reliably advi&ed a* to
their interebts. During tho past year, the knowledge
obtained from these Market Reports alone baa saved
our readers thousands of dollar*, by informing them
of the best time to sell or purchase.
Such a Paper is demanded by the Farming
Community.
Tho publishers confidently believo that the agri
culturists of this country are becoming too much
awake to ihe demands of their own nailing to be
longer satisfied with ihe slow monthly iaauea of a pa
per professedly devoted to their interests, or to trust
alone to the irreaponslblo extracts in a "farmer's
column," ao popular just now in papers chiefly devo
ted to business, politics, or literature; and they look
for tho united support of all the intelligent fanners
of this country in their continued effort to furnish a
woekly paper of a high and reliable character, which
shall bu progressive, and aL the sauio lime cautious
and conservative in all its teachings.
Essentially an Agricultural Paper.
The Agnmlturit! will not depart from its legiii
mate sphere to oatch popular favor by lumbering vp
its pages, with the silly, fictitious literature, and
light, uiisecllauoous matter of the day ; it has a high
er aim; and a small part only of its space will l>e
devoted to matters not immediately pertaining to the
great business of Agriculture. The household as
well ai the out-door work of the farm will receive a
due share of attention The humbugs and nostrums
afloat in the community will be tried by reliable sci
entific rules, and their worthlessness exposed. It is
the aim of the publishers to keep tuis paper and* r
the guidance of those who will make it a standard
work, which shall eominnnic.'vtu to its readers only
that which is safe and reliable.
An Independent Journal.
The Amnrican Agriruftvriit stands upon its own
merits; and the truthfulness zeal, and ability,
which it brings to the support of the interests of die
farmer. It i.< untrammeled by any collateral busi
ness connections whatever, nor is it the organ of any
clique, or the puffing machine of any man or thii>g.
Thoroughly independent in all points, its ample pa
ges are studiously given alone to the support and im
provement of the greut agricultural class.

supervision of Mr. A B. Allen, its principal edit*r

The following la an extract of a letter from Hon.
William Jay to the author
" Ybur analysis of the slave laws Is very able, and
your exhibition of their practical application by the
Southern courts evinces great and careful research.
Your hook is as impregnable against the charge of
exaggeration ns Euclid's Geometry, since, like thai.
It consists of propositions and demonstration* The
book is not only true, but it is utunuMvonably true."'
