THE WEEKLY VOLUMES; l.
SELECT CIRCULAR LIBRARY FOR TOWN AND
COUNTRY.
On the first Wednesday Of January, lS4e
commences. at Philadelphia, the second
wear of SMITHS WEEKLY VOLUME
Select Circulating Library, for town and
country, on the plan of Waldie's, at greatly
reduced price, ola larger size, and new type
Conducted by the original, and, tor .ne
first seven years, the sole editor OF Waldle's
Library.
The publisher has the pleasure OF announ-
cling that the success of this periodical is
uch as 10 insure its continuance upon
ornament footing. A probation OF one
year, during which more than one hundred
thousand Of our Weekly Volumes have
spread over the land, has established us, we
believe, in the good opinions of many; we
hope to be confirmed in this pleasant position,
and to acquire new friends and well-w'shers
We NAV venture TO assert, that there have
been included in our past pages many books
and ESSAYS of frst-rate merit; there have
been displayed wisdom, and wit, and humour
-true poetry and story; knowledge has
been mingled with lighter matter, and we
trust made agreeable. We may the less
hesitate to ascrbe to the various WORKS
these eminent qualities, since they are most
" not productions of our own, but from the
mems Of authors of admitted talent, many OF
whom are we'll known, and some OF them en-
loving high and undoubted celebrity.
Our plan embraces the publication OF the
: nepest and best books in the various depart
ments of Travels, Voyages, Tales, Sketches,
Biography and Memoirs, in short the whole
range of polite literature, and including trans
9 lations made expressly for the work. Inc
. editor does not, however, sacrifice at the
R shrine of mere noreIty in any of these depart
ments. When new book does not oi1er OF
a the required character, he will, as before,
! extend his research among the numerous
works which he has already within his reaca'
besides the many which are afforded by MS
s regular importations from Europe. From
! the arrangements now completed, all books
of merit or popularity come under his m
|, spection, by the regular steamships, ana MS
