The design Of the Miscellany is to supply the in'
creasing demand for useful instructive and enter
tanning reading and to bring all the aids Of lera
ture TO bear on the cultivation Of the feelings and
understanding Of people-to impress correct views
on important moral and social questons--suppress
every species Of strife and savagery--cheer the
tagging and responding, by the relation of tales
drawn from the Imagination Of popular writer's
rouse the fancy by descriptions Of interesting for
eign scenes--give zestto every day occupations
BY ballad and lyrical poetry-in short to furnish
an unobtrusivs friend and guide, lively 6reside
companion, as far as that object can be attained
through the instrumentality Of books.
The universally acknowledged merits Of the
Cyclopedia Of English Literature, by the same au.
thor, connected with its rapid sale, and the un.
bounded commentator bestowed by the press,
give the publishers full confidence in the real val.
ue and entire success Of the present work.
The publication has already commenced and
will be continued semi.monthly. Each number
will form complete work, and every third num-
Der will be furnished with title page and table OF
contents, thus forming beautifully illustrated
volume Of over 5000 pages of useful and enter.

forming ten elegant Volumes. .af

publication, and in so neat and convenient form.
II is an admirable compilation, distinguished by
the good taste which has been shown in all the
publications Of the Messrs. Chambers. It unites
the useful aud the entertaining. We hope its cir
culation here will be large enough to supplant to
good extent, the mandy pamby and immoral
works which have been so long too widely circu-
lated.-N Y. Com. Advertiser.

Truly useful and entertaining work. No men
are better known than the Messrs. Chambers of
Edinburgh, for their happy tact of spreading
before the public. 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
work on this side the Atlantic. We trust they
may be amply rewarded by the favor OF the CON-
munity. .ErcelciOr, Boston.

The deserved success Of Chambers Cyclopedia
IF English Literature has encouraged the publish
srs to commence repriniing this equally popular

Judgment, and adapted TO the wants of the peo-
de Literary World, " Y.
From the plan of this work, and, also judging
rom the first number. which we have received,
we are led to believe it will be a very valuable
publication. 1t will be different thing from the
Cycopeda, but Of vital Importance to the reading
public. 1t will contain interesting memoirs and
historical sketches, which will be useful, iustruc
i've, and entertaining; it will throw the influence
