1626 THE PRESS. This day is published, in Bro., with Map and Illustrations, price 12s. 6d., cloth, MINNESOTA AND THE FAR WEST. BY LAURENCE OLIPHANT, ESQ., Late Civil Secretary and Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs in Canada. AUTHOR OF " THE RUSSIAN SHORES OF THE BLACK SEA," cte. (Originally published in Blackwood's Magazine.) WILLIAM BLAC KW 00 D and SUNS, Edinburgh and London. TRACTS FOR THE PRESENT CRISIS. Just published, No. XXV. REAPPEARANCE OF THE BOY JONES. In which some new light is thrown on certain Comments of the Times on the projected Marriage of the Princess Royal of England. The Tr acts for the Present Crisis are sold at One Penny each, or Ninepence a Dozen No. XIX. WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR? and No. XX. " LOOK UPON THIS PICTURE, AND ON THAT," are very suitable for general distribution, and for such purpose will be sold at Four Shilings a hundred. TWENTY FIVE TRACTS SENT FREE ON RECEIPT OF TWENTY POSTAGE STAMPS. ear The Periodical Press of this country, with some few honourable exceptions, instead of instructing and regulating the public mind on the subject of the war, seeks to aggravate the prevalent excitement. The Tracts for the Present Crisis consist of short Commentaries on passing Events, Remarks on Conten-porary Writings, and trains of thought calculated, it is hoped, to draw the attention of Englishmen to the evils prevailing at their own doors, instead of directing their efforts to the affairs of distant States. In particular, the writer contests the justice or the wisdom of that policy which, now that the honour of England is vindi cated and her interests effectually secured, would nevertheless involve us in a prolonged and savage warfare with a nation whose alliance may one day prove as needful to us as it was in the year 1812, when Russia diverted and dispelled the storm which would otherwise have fallen on our own heads. ••• Early application is recommended, as many of the Tracts will soon be out of print.
