These volumes furnish gallery of noble
historical paintings which Macaulay might
envy. Louis XIV. efeminate, selfish and UNI
kingly, surrounded by his courtiers, narrow
minded, hollow hearted. stands out from the
canvas as n living portrait. The eDcyclope-
dists, with their noble leaders, Noltairci
Didcrot, Rousseau, DAlcmbcrt, and D'llol-
bach are sketchcd with a lifc-lke fidelity,
scarcely surpassed by Boswell's portraits OF
johnson and the immortal club The lesuits,
too, appear in turn upon the painting. Their
vices are satirized with keen irony and a
pungent invectve that reminds one of the
Provincial Letters while their courage and
zeal and faithful devotion to their order, are
set forth with justice and admiration rarely
accorded by an opponent

the volumes because Of tic title page. The
first part is called " A Sermon at Court" the
second, :" \ Sermon in the City" and the
third, A Scnaon in the Desert" but there
is not any OF that dry sort Of reading that
one naturally expects 10 find in sermons On
the contrary, it is nothing more nor less than
an exceedingly interesting historical ro'

mcnt of patented privileges, are still sold at
REASONABLE PRICES,
And wHh UaqncSiioned Right.
Having terminated our legal controversy
with Elias Howe, Jr., and procured his full
license to use his invention, there is not the
slightest claim that our machines infringe
any other patent.
The right to use the machines which we
lave Sold and shall hereafter sell, is unques-
tonablc.
We own ten distinct patents on Sewing Ma
chimes, covering all the nice points Of the in
veniion, and all the machines Of other manu-
facturers infringe one or more Of them. Our
patent securing the spring whereby the cloth,
&c is held to the feeding apparatus by a
yielding pressure, is inirrged by all the ma
chimes now offered in the market. Those who
buy the inferior and piratical machines, are
hereby distinctly apprised that we shall COM
pei them to pay MS for the privilege Of using
! them. Our legal rights will henccfor,h be
rigidly enforced.
THE IMMENSE SUPERIORITY
of Singers Sewing Machines has been com
pletely established They are Of universal
application-thc same machine doing all
kinds of work, and doing it perfectly. They
are not only superior in contrivancc, but I'M
cqualcd in mechanical finish. They per-
form all work required, and continue to do it
without getting out Of order. We desire to
call attention part 'cu'arly TO our new
Machines to Sew with Single Thread,
which by ample trials have been proved SUI
pcrior to all others for stitching linen and all
very thin f,brcs-also for sewing leather Ell
ther with waxed thread or sik-aud for
quilting Innings. We are also prepared to
exhibit and sell cmbroideriug machines, pro
during nm entirely new and very beautiful
result. Machines Of extra size, both shuttle
aud single thread, may be had for a small
difference in price. These are found trbc
very popular. Machines for hat binding
stitching carpet hag handles, and any other
peculiar work, will be supplied at short no
