Extract from the Preface:
"The booka are intended to be booka of instruc

modes of life that are described, but alao ui regard to
the general character of the incident, and adventures
that the young travellers meet with, is m moat atrict

and everything which they contain, except what ia
strictly personal, in relation to the actors in tho story,
may be depended upon as exactly and scrupulously

New Edition.
EC. A J. BIDDLE, No. ? South Fifth atreet,
? Philadelphia, bar* recently published a new
aUreotype edition of
English. Literature of the Nineteenth Century.
On the plan of the author's 'Compendium of Engliah
Literature," and aupplementary to it Deaigned for
collegea and advanced classes in schools as wel aa
for private reading. By Charlea IX Cleveland.
The " Compendium of Engliah Literature, by Prof
Cleveland, comprises biographical sketches ??d ae
lections from the writings of English authors, from
the fourteenth to the eighteenth centunr, ehronologi
callv arranired ; together with copious Notes, explan
atory, illustrative, Ac. The volume now advertised,
which is arranged on tho same plan as the Com
pendium," comprises in its list of authors mA as
flourished in the eighteenth century, but dud In the
| present; together with those ?tricUy of the nine
teenth century, whether 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
i six authors, the names of twenty-seven of whom did
not appear in the table of contents of the former edi
tion ; together with many improvements throughout
' ^Prof. C.'a two volumes of English Literature are
now extensively nsed as text-books in colleges, acad
emies. and the higher class of scminarfes throughout
the United States. The following opinions relative
to "English Literature of the Nineteenth Century,
are selected from a largo number equally commenda
tory of the work:
From Prof. ChuHnrr* A. Goodrich, D. D., of Yalt
ColUgt.
'? I consider Prof. Cleveland's ' English Literature
or the Nineteenth Century ' an appropriate sequel to
i his ' Compendium.' Tho author ba? shown the same
I just and delicate appreciation of literary excollence
in this as in the former volume; and, as it readies
I down to our limes, it will be still more interesting to
a large portion of the public, and especially to the
young. Few persons can understand what an amount
I of reading, thought, nice discrimination, and labori
ous col densation of knowledge, are r*|uisite to the
production of such a work , and just in uro|wrtion as
men toil more extensively in this field, will be the
intimate they will put upon thia result of the author *
\ labor*."
From Gnorgr B. Kmrrton, zw. of Boston.
"I have examined yonr ' Rngllsh Literature of the
Nineteenth Century," and I like it exceedingly It
In extremely well Mid fairly done. The biographical
notice* are just and discriminating ; and, while they
are long enough to gratify the curiosity we have to
know something of an author, they are so spirited a*
to awaken a desire to know more. The selections
are admirable. I have adopted the work an a text
book for my first class, every individual of which i*
now preparing, under it* guidance, to give a faller
account of the writing* ofjiome one cboson author."
From Rn>. B. P. Aydrktt, D- D.,af Cincinnati.
" I have examined with much care, and still great
er pleasure, and, I trust, not a little profit, yonr
? Rnglish Literature of the Nineteenth Century.' ?
? Ft is, I believe, the rirhrtt co/Urtwn of print in
otir language. There ia nothing in it I would omit,
and yet it ia not too largi for jxtjtular one. Consid
ering the very britf limits to which yon wore obliged
to confine Yourself, I am surprised at the fullness and
richness of your biographical details. Your most
difficult and del if ate task, howovor, was the eriti?al
judgment to be passed upia each author; and bore
1 think you have been very happy?discriminating
and just, and yat kind. * * Rnt I would feel that
whatever I have said about the volume, however
true, ought to be considered ts of little worth, eould
I not add?as I cheerfully do?a stro ig testimony to
its high moral tone and eminently Christian spirit.
The general reader cannot fail to bo interested, the
student profited, the scholar delighted, and the man
of piety pleased, with your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century.' "

Cookery as it should be ? Ab, well, that's a pretty
bold title! And a dubious one, too. exclaims another,

how to make it so; and in short, plain, practical, and
simple roles, such as the result of a lone and constant
ly active experience in providing for the daily wants
of a large household, enables her to do in tne very
best manner. Every one who has eaten at onr au
thoress's board will bear ample testimony to the ex
cellent qnalitios of the many good things she daily
sets before thorn, prepared nnder her own superin
tendence, and the rules for making which she herein
sets forth.
The recipes of the world-renowned Mrs. Ooodfel

In short, this new Cook Book is offered to the pub

British Periodicals, vi*:
The London Quarterly Review (Conservative.
The Edinburgh Review (Whig.)
The North British Review (Free Church.)
The Westminster Review (Liberal.)
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (Tory.)
These Reprints have now been in successful opers
tion in this country for tiae/uy years, and their circo
lation is constantly on the inoreaae, notwithstanding
the competition they encounter from Amerioan peri
odicals of a similar class, and of numerous Eclectic
and Magaiinos made up of selections from foreign pe
riodicals. This fact shows dearly the high estimatioi
tn which they are held by the intelligent readim
public, and affords a guarantee that they are estab
lished on a firm basil, and will be continued withou
interruption.
Although these works are distinguished by the po
litioal shades above indicated, yet but a small portioi
of their contents is devoted to political subjects It
is their literary character which gives them their chie
value, and in that they stand confessedly far abov?
all other journals of their class. Blackirood, still un
der the masterly guidance of Christopher North, main
tains its anciont celebrity, and is at this time unusu
ally attractive, from the serial works of Buiwer anc
other literary notables, written for that Magasine, am
first appearing in its oolumns both in Groat Britaii
and in the United States. Suoh works as " The Cas
tons" and "My New Novel," both by Bulwer: "Mi
Peninsular Medal," "The Green Hand." and othe'r
serials, of which numerous rival editions are issued b\
the leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages of Black
wood, after it has keen t**tied by Messrs. Scott A Co
so that subscribers to the Reprint of that Magasint
may always rely upon having tbs earliest reading 0<

THE object of this talo is to exhibit in difforent
phases, in high lil'e and low life, thu accursed
effects of intouipernte drinking, the bane of social
lift, the curso of civilised man. The characters art
well and sharply drawn, and the various socncs are
dosoribed with much spirit and graphic effect. * *
* Wo are disposed to rugard tho book as thu best
of its kind that has yot appuarud.? Hon on Traveller.
It is not often that wo road a story of any kind,
but wo havo brokon our practice, and have road this
book not only with pluusuro, but with a gratification
which but vory fow novels havo evor afforded us. It
is a quiet and siutplo, but-still striking and offectivc
picture of American social life.? Chicago Tribune,.
Written with marked ability.?Zanesville Courier.
A thrilling picturo of tho offccts of that infornal
bane of social lifo, intemperance.?Richmond Pal
ladium.
The stylo is attractive and fascinating ; there is a
freshness and originality about it, that is very pleas
ing. * * * One of its ohief merits is thu excel
lence of its oonvorsations.?Enquirer.
Has so many thrilling passagos and well-drawn
characters, thpt you read it with absorbod attention.
It cannot fail to achiove for Mrs. Collins an unviable
popularity. She takes us with her to the drunkard's
home, and tells of the hunger and the fear, tho toil
and the suffering, that are there. She paints, with
a woman's dulicato skill, thu meok patience, tho
long-abused, but unchanging lovo of the drunkard's
wife, touches the deepest chords of the heart, and
makes them vibrate with pity and with indignation.
Christian Herald.
Though Mrs. Collins has already hosts of admi
rers ot her literary productions, this work, wo pre
dict, will increase that number ten-fold, and give
her a reputation worthy of her high talents.?Nev
Albany Tribnm.
Tbo style is easy, natural, beautiful, chaste, nod
at times very eloquent. Wo would commend it es
pecially to young ladies, that they may sue to what
dangers they are exposed, in forming alliances with
tho fashionable in high life.?Ohio Organ.
A deeply interesting and poworful work. It vivid
ly portrays some of the terrific exploits of strong
drink in both high and low lifo. Nor are such scene*
as it depicts either imaginary or few. Let this book
circulate. It has a beneficent aim, and is tho vehicle
of admirably old and most salulary lessons.?Pres
bylttriau.
* * * llan 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 Titties.
We know of no passage, anywhere, more uniquely
beautiful, moru intensely absorbing, more overpow
ering in tho pathetic, than tho thirty-fourth chapter.
"It is indcod a gem. Wo doubt whethor the celebra
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 power.?Gospel Herald.
* * * The incidents dramatic, and the inter
est intense to the end.? Ohio Statesman.
Wields an easy pen, and sketches men and man
nert to the lifo.?Presbyterian Herald.
Graphic, truthful, chaste, and deeply affecting, the
story winds itself into our feelings, and we become
absorbed in the plot, as if we beheld before oar own
eyos the realities of the author's delinoations. Dai

Essentially an Agricultural Paper.
The Agnciiltvrisi will not depart from its legiti
mate sphere to catch popular favor by lumbering no
its pages, with the silly, fictitious literature, and
light, miscellaneous matter of the day; it has a high
er aim; and a small part only of ita apace will be
aevotod to matters not immodiatolv pertaining to th*
great business of Agriculture. The household as
woll as the out-door work of the farm will receive a
due share of attention. The humbugs and nostrums
afloat in the coinmuuity will be tried by reliable sci
entific rules, and their worthlessuoss exposed. It ia
-the aim of the publiahera to keep thia paper under
the guidance of thoae who will make it a standard
work, which ahall oomuiunicate to ita readers only
that which is aafe and reliable.
