ENGLISH LITERATURE OF THE 19TH CIXTH1T.
Now Edition.
Er ^ J- BTDDLK, Nu 6 South Fifth street,
J? Philadelphia, have recently published a new,
Htereotype odition of
English, Literature of the Nineteenth Century,
On Uio plan of tb* author'* ?' Coiupoudiuui of Eugligh
Literature," and supplementary to it. Designed for
colleges and advanced clauses in schools as wei an
forprivate reading. By Charles D. Cleveland.
The "Compendium of English Literature," by Prof
Cleveland, comprises biographical sketches and se
lections from the writings ot English authors, from
the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, chronologi
cally arranged; together with eopioas Notes, explan
atory, illustrative, Ac. The volume now advertised,
which is arranged on the ?&ine plan as the " Com
l>endium," comprises in its list of authors suoh as
flourished in the eighteenth century, but din! in the
present; together with those striotly of the nine
teenth century, whether living or dead.
The present edition of ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Ceutury " contains biographical sketches
and selections from the writings of one hundred aud
six authors, the uames of twenty-seven of whom did
not appear in the table of contents of the former edi
tion ; together with many improvements throughout
the volume.
Proi. C.'s two volumes of Hnirlisb Literature are
now extensively used as text-books iu colleges, acad
emies, and the higher class of seminaries, throughout
the United State*. The lollowiug opinion* relative
to " English Literature of the Nineteenth Century,"
are selected from a large number equally commenda
tory of the work:
From Prof. Chauiirry A. Gut*/rich, D. V., of Yale
College.
" I consider Prof. Cleveland's ' English Literature
of the Nineteenth Century ' an appropriate sequel to
his ' Compendium.' Tho author has shown tho same
just and delicate appreciation of literary excellence
in this, as in the former volume; and, as it reaohes
down to our times, it will be still more interesting to
a large portion of the public, and especially to the
young. Few uersons can understand what an amount
of reading, thought, 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 field, will be the
estimate they will put upon this result of the author's
labon."
From George B. Emerson, Esq., of Boston.
" I have examined your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century,' and I like it exceedingly It
is extremely well and fairly done. The biographioal
notices are just and discriminating; and, While they
are long enough to gratify the curiosity we have to
know something of an author, tboy are so spirited as
awaken a desire to know more. The selections
are admirable. I have adopted the work as a text
book for my first class, every individual of which is
now preparing, undor its guidance, to give a fuller
acoount of the writings of some one chosen author."
From Rev. B. P. Ay Molt, D. D, of Cincinnati.
" I have examined 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 nee. Consid
ering the very brief limits to wbioh you were obliged
to confine yourself, I am surprised at the fullness and
richness of your biographical details. Your most
difficult and delicate task, however, wu tho oritieal
judgment to be passed upon each author; and here
I think you have been very happy?discriminating
and just, and yet kind. ? # But I would feel that
whatever I fiave said about the volume, however
true, ought to be considered as of little worth, oould
I not add?as I cheerfully do?a strong testimony to
it? high moral tone and eminently Christian spirit.
The general reader cannot fkil to be interested, the
student profited, the scholar delighted, and the man
of piety pleased, with your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century.' *'

" Bnllo on the Atlantic " is the Irst book of a se
ries to be published under the general title of Hollo's
Tour in Europe.
Extract from the Preface:
'? The books are intended to be books of instruc
tion, rather than of mere amusement ; and, in peru
sing them, the reader may feel assured that all the in
formation which they contain, not only in rospect to
the countries visited, and to the customs, usages, and
modes ol life that are deecribed, but also in regard to
the general character of the incidents and adventures
that the young travellers meet with, is in most strict
accordance with fact. The main design ot the narra
tive in thus the communication of useftil knowledge;
nod p-erytliing which they contain, except what is
stnctl v personal, in relation to the actors in the story,
may be depended upon as exactly and scrupulously
true." Published by

THK WEAL AND WOE OP SOCIAL LIFE.
One Volume 12mo, $1.
THE objeot of this tale is to oxhibit in different
phaaos, in high life and low life, the accursed
effects of intemperate drinking, the bane of social
life, the curse of eiviliiod man. The characters are
well aud sharply drawn, and the various scenes are
dosoribed with much spirit and graphic effect. * *
* We are disposed to rugard the book as the best
of its kind that has yet appeared.?Boston Traveller.
It is not often that we read a story of any kind,
but wo have broken our practice, and have read this
book not only with pleasure, but with a gratification
which but very few novels have aver afforded us. It
is a quiet and simple, but still striking and effective
picture of American social life.?Chicago Tribune.
Written with marked ability.?Zanetville Courier.
A thrilling picture of the effects of that infernal
bane of social life, intemperance.?Richmond Pal
ladium.
The style Is attractive and fascinating; there is a
freshness and originality about it, that is very pleas
ing. * * * One of its chief merits is the excel
lence of its conversations.?Enquirer.
Has so many thrilling passages and well drawn
characters, that you read it with absorbed attention,
it cannot fail to achieve for Mrs. Collins an enviable
popularity. She takes us with her to the drunkard's
home, and tells of the hunger and the fitar, the toil
and the suffering, that are there. She paints, with
a woman's delicate skill, the meek patience, the
long-abased, but unchanging love of the draokard's
wife, toaohes the deepest obords of the heart, and
makes them vibrate with pity and with indignation.
Christian Herald.
Thoagh Mrs. Collins has already hosts of adini
rers ot her literary productions, this work, we pre
dict, will increase that number ten fold, and give
her a reputation worthy of her high talents.?Flew
Albany Trtbunt.
The style is easy, natural, beautiAil, ohaste, and
at times very eloquent. We woald commend it es
pecially to young ladies, that they may see to what
dangers they are exposed, in forming alliances with
the fashionable in high life.?Ohio Organ.
. A deeply interesting and powerful work. It vivid
ly portrays some of the terrific exploits 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 velficle
of admirably old and most sal alary lessons .? Pres
byterian.
* * * lias sketched it in its daintiest form of
fascination, as well as in its grim and dismal aspect
of open degradation. Rarely has a woman ventured
to hold the torch to such a dark recess of human
woe.?Daily Timet.
We know of no passage, anywhere, more uniqHely
beautiful, more intensely absorbing, more overpow*
ering In the pathetic, than the thirty-fourth chapter.
It la indeed a gem We doubt whether the oelebra
ted chapter devoted to the death of Eva, in Uncle
Tom's Cabin, is superior. * * * It is certainly
the most powerful temperance tale that we have ever
perused?Journal and Messenger.
Beautifully written. * * * A work of great
strength and pown?Gospel Herald.
? ? * The incidents dramatic, and the inter
est intense to the end. Ohio Statesman.
Wields an easy pen, and sketches men and man
ners to the life.? Presbyterian Herald.
Graphic truthful, chaste, and deeply affecting, the
story winds itself into our feelings, and we become
absorbed in tho plot, as if we beheld before our own
eyee the realities of the author's delineations ? Dai

i 1 Periodical ot aixteen large quarto pages, making
an anuual volume of 83* pagea of nearly doable the
' alio of thoae in the ttrat ten volume* of the Agricul

It ia beautifully printed with typo oMt expren-uy
for it, and on the beat of clear white paper, with wide
margin, ao that the number* can be easily atitohed
or bound together.
A oopioua Index ia weekly added, which will bo

Comprehensive in its Character,
Each volume will contain all matter worth record
ing, which tranapirea either at homo or abroad, and
which can aerve to inatrnct or intereat the I armor,
the Planter, the Fruit-Grower, the (iardoner, and

our readera thousands of dollars, by informing them

Such a Paper is demanded by the Farming
Community.
The publiahers confidently believe that the agri
culturists of this oountry are beooming too mnoh
awake to the demands of their own calling to be
longer satisfied with the slow monthly issues of a pa
per professedly devoted to their interests, or to trust
alone to the irresponsible extracts in ?"fiumer?
column," ao popular juat now in papera chiefly devo
ted to bnaineas, politics, or literature; and they look
for the united support of all the intelligent tanners
of this country in their continued effort to furnish a
weekly paper of a high and reliable charaeter, which
ahull bo progressive, and at the same tine oautioua
and eonaervatite in all ita teaching*.
Essentially an Agricultural Paper.
The Agnmltunu will not depart from its legiti
mate sphere to catch popular favor by lumbering up
its pagoa, with the silly, fictitious literature, and
light, miscellaneous matter of the day; it has a high
er aim; and a small part only of its space will be
devoted to matters not immediately pertaining to the
great buiineM of Agriculture. The household am
well as the out-door work of the farm will reoeive a
due share of attention. The humbugs and nostrums
afloat in the community will be tried by reliable sci
entific roles, and their worthlessnosa exposed. It u
the aim of the publiahers to keep this paper under
the guidance of those who wiU make it a standard
work, which shall communicate to its readers only
that which is safe and reliable.
An Independent Journal.
The A*u>rvran Agriculturist stands upon ita own
merits; and the truthfulness, seal, and ability,
which it brings to the support of the interests of the
farmer. It is untrammeled by any collateral busi
ness connections whatever; nor is it the organ of any
clique, or the pufftng machine of any man or thing.
Thoroughly independent in all points, its ample pa
ges aro studiously givan alone to the support and im
provement of the greet agricultural olass.
