good in our day and generation and hope io
make the work indispensable in every well-in
formed family. We say indispensable, becaus,
in this day OF cheap literature it is not pOss-

bad in taste and vicious in morals, in any
other way thanby furnishing sufficient supply
Of a healthy character. The mental and mora
appetite must be gratiiied.
We hope that, by "wiRnocing The ,ch.dt from

imagination, and by large collection of Bio
