We are authorized to say, and we do SO with
very sincere pleasure, that this beautiful work,
sPlendidly got up, in every respect, will shortly
be ready for subscribers in Washington. The
fourth and fifth editions are now being published,
and will be sent here within three or four weeks.
1t is matter of graduation that full and spirit
ed biography as well as all the speeches of this
lished in manner to satisfy his numerous friends
throughout the country. 1t ought to be preserved
in every library as a work of useful reference !;
and to be consulted in many important questions
relating TO various exciting and agitating subjects
which have called forth the talents and occupied
the attention of the wisest and most prominent
men Of all parties for nearly forty years. The
statistical information contained in these volumes
is exceedingly important to the jurst and states
man and indeed to all classes of citizens who
feel deep interest in the perpetuity of our free
Institutions None can read them without imb-
bling the spirit of the gifted subject of them, and
none can do SO without becoming wiser and a
better citizen N the fire of his patriotism burns
low, let it kindle afresh with some of his warm
and glowing bursts of eloquence poured out in
vindication Of injured rights or wrong unredressed,
which abound among the speeches contained in
this work. Time will crumble marbe-the hard
est metals will yield their polish to the rust of
ages, but this great and good mans fame will grow
brighter and brighter to generations yet unborn.
Every part Of the work is chronologically ar
ranged from the time of his birth to the closing
scene and farewell speech in the Senate, with a
copious Index to the whole. 1t is beautifully en-
bellished with steel engravings-a likeness exc
cuted by Halpin from Fenderich's spirited litho-
graph--a view of the House where he was born
in Hanover county, Wa view of the Mona
ment on the Cumberland road near Wheeling, Va.
and view of Ashland, his fine seat near Lex
ington, KY.
Mr.. Abraham B. Lindsey has undertaken the
agency, and we hope and believe that Wings
everywhere will give him a kind greeting, and
further his laudable object every way IN their
power.
The following thirty-nine speeches Of Mr., Clay
many of them among the most important ever de-
vered by him, are in Mallory's edition, and are
not to be found in any other collection. They
are omitted in all the cheap editions now so ex-
tensively circulated. 1t is due to the editor and
Mr.. Clay's numerous friends who are DESTROYS Of
possessing copies of ALL his speeches that this
important fact should be stated.
