Truly useful and entertaining work. No men
are better known than the Messrs. Chambers OF
Edinburgh, for their happy tact OF spreading
knowledge before the pubc---and this is done too,
in so cheap manner that the blessing becomes at
once wide spread. The Boston publishers deserve
the thanks Of all friends Of general education, for
the interest they have taken in circulating this

From the plan of this work, and, also Judging
from the first number, which we have received
we are led to believe it will be very valuable
publication 1t will be different thing from thu
Cyclopedia, but of vital importance to the reading
public. 1t will contain interesting memols ant
historical sketches, which will be useful, iustruc
tive, and entertaining; it will throw the influence
of chaste literature over the feelings and the heart
OF its readers, and be highly valuable addition te
public and private libraries. s.--Prdcf. Ed Boston.
