The publishers announce that Dr. I.ardner hay-
ing brought to close his public Lectures in this
country, they have availed themselves of the op-
portunty thus presented to induce him TO prepare
tor publication a complete and authentic edition of
these Discourses. The general interest which tor
the last four years they have excited in every part
OF tins country Is universally felt and acknowl-
edged. Probably no public lecturer ever contin-
ued for the same length Of time to collect around
him so numerous audiences. Nor has there been
any exception TO this favorable impression. Visit
after visit has been made to all the chief cities
and or every succeeding occasion audiences a.
mounting TO thousands have assembled to hear
again ana again these lessons of useful knowledge.
The same simplicity of language, perspicuity of
reasoning, and felicity of illustration, which rem
Gered the oral diScourses so universally accepta-
BILE will be preserved in the published report, which
will indeed be, nearly possible, identical with
the Lectures as they were delivered.
The publishers feel that in the volume now pro-
posed they will present TO the American public
most agreeable offering, and an interesting and
useful miscellany of general information, which
will also afford that large class of persons who
have attended the Lectures, an agreeable means
OF revving the impressions from which they have
already derived so much profit and pleasure.
