AMERICAN AGrrAroRs AND REroRxERs.
Messrs. Rathbun & Orion have laid upon our
table very handsomely executed volume Of
some 400 pages, containing very spirited pen
portraits of a number of living American re-
formers. Among them are Horace Greeley,
William Cullen Bryant, W. Lloyd Garrison
Theodore Parker, and some fifteen Others,
The admirers of those original and turbid
spirits will find in this volume much to intc-
rest them, and examples TO excite emulation.
Messrs. r. & o. have now as fine n stock
of books, stationery, aud everything belong
ing to the trade as can be found this side of
Chicago or st. Louis, They arc regularly
supplied with al! the late publications from
the east, and sell them, as we can attest from
experience, as chcaply as the Chicago book
sellers. We hope they may receive that en-
enlargement in their business which their en-
tcrprize SO eminently deserves.
