but
tor the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on

together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,

A,.`veid," and "How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
