This is, beyond question, ono of the most ele-
giant books ever presented to our fellow citizens,
IN this Republic. ltiis a volume Of 500 pages,
containing about 500 engTaungs OF most inte-
resting character. The paper, the type, the en-
cravings, are all Of them such as mighfenter into
a SUCCESSFUL competition with any oil the finest
London publications. It's superior specimen
OF domestic fabrication, both external and inter-
nal; and ought, in this respect to be patronized
by every patriotic citizen. But this is the leasl
i valuable thing about it,. The volume gives III
accurate views of eastern customs, habits, nian-
ners, animals, scenery; and. In addition to state
ments given IN brief, accurate, and elegant de-
taAs We have every variety ofpctorial exhibitions
which al once amuse, interest, delight and fascl
nate. In this volume we bave, moreover, admiTa
blywell written Biographies of all the principa
characters mentioned in the Holy Bible. Thes
are selected with taste andsnguiar discrimination
from the best authors extant on the subject. An

pages, where we possess rich treasury OF uselu
and religious knowledge, carefully condensed an
