THE present critical state of European affairs
will render these publications unusually interes-
ting during the year, 1854. They will occu-
py middle ground between the hastily written
news items, crude speculations, and flying ru-
mors of the daily Journal, and the pondcrous
Tome of the future historian, written after the
living interest and excitement of the great polit-
ical events Of the time shall have passed away.
1t is to these Periodicals that readers must look
for the only really Ineligible and reliable histo-
~ of current events, and "a such, in addition to
their wcll-cStablished literary, scientific, and the
illogical character, we urge them upon the con-
sidcration of the reading public.
Arrangements arc now permanently made for
the receipt of early sheets from the British Pub
fishers, by which we shall be able TO place all our
Reprints in the hands of subscribers, about as
soon az they can be furnished with the foreign
copies. cs.-Al;hough this will involve very large
outlay on our part, We shall continne to furnish

cipal duels, from that between David and
Goliah, the first on record, to the present
day and contains a full account of those Of
importance, including all of historical in
terest, in the annals of this country.
The duels between Hamilton and Burr,
Clay and Randolph, Decatur and Barron,
Cilley and Graves, as well as many others,
arc related IN full; and the authors familiar
ity with history, and his intimacy with men
in public life, has enabled him to bring to
light facts Of great interest and value.
The avidity with which every acc cunt Of
a duel is sought for and devoured, led the
publishers to hesitate before offering the
public volume containing such fund Of
interesting and exciting material; but the
high character Of the author, and a perusal
Of his Historical Essay, have convinced them
