ARTHUR’S SKETCHES OF LIFE AND CHARAC-

TER, an octavo volume of over 400 pages, beautifully illus-
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 illustrated by spirited engra-
vings, and made particularly valuable to those who like to
‘égee 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.—Gra-
ham’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, entitled, ‘‘The Methodist
Preacher, or Lights and Shadows in the Life of an Itinerant,”
is alone worth the price of the work.—Lvening 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 power-
fully interests the reader, that few who commence one of them
will part with it till it is concluded; and they will bear read-
ing 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 instru-
mental 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 illustrated. 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.—V. ¥’. Sun.
