They are the best children's books ever published.
They wisely avoid the introduction or discussion Of
religious topics, yet are such as christian parents NAV
unhesitatingly place in their children's hands. The
price is marvelsusly low. Twenty five cents q lumber
makes it abouts six pages Of print and two excellent
engravings for each cent of the money.
The engraving nione without a line of letter press.
would be cheapat the price. One good thing these
Story Books will certainly accomplish: henceforth in
fetior authorship and used-up worn out illustrations
can not be palmed of on children. They have samples
here of what is best for them, and they are shrewd
enough not to put up with any thing Of lower quality.

YTlHESE Periodical are the critical censOrs Of the
British scholastic and literary world. By their
criticisms, they aid readers in the selection Of stand
ard valuable books; and by the epitomes which they
present, often obviate the necessity Of consulting works
too voluminous for general examination. They fill a
place which American magazines cAnot supply; for
they discuss topics relating more strictly to the affairs,
political. religious, scientific, and literary, OF the con
tinent Of Eu1pe. They are conducted BY the best
talent Of Great Britain; and are engaged with the most
important questions which interest or agitate the civ
ilixed world. Whoever subscribes to them all, may
read the ablest representatives OF the principal parties
into which the people of Great Britain are divided.
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW
8 the exponent Of the Wing party in Great Britain,
having from its commencement advocated Freedom
and the rights Of the people. When the war, appa-
rently of determination, was waged against France by
British Tory rulers, and during which occurred the
second great struggle of England with our own coun-
try, this Review first unfurled the tag of resistance,
and made, by its unanswerabe and eloquent appeals
in behalf Of inalienable rights, the halls Of British
legislation and even the throne itself to tremble. The
graphic and stirring delineations of those events, pre-
scented in the pages of that distinguished journal, ex,
hibit the truest portra,ture Of those perilous days TO
be fonnd, perhaps, in the Language. Its influence was
becoming so apparent, that at length the leaders Of the
Tory party, at whom the thunders of its eloquence
were especially directed, found it too powerful an in
strument to be resisted by ordinary means, and hence
they established the Quarterly. or as it is distin-
guished among the American Reprints,

BARRIERS AS "professional' class we be.
leve the BARRIERS of Nashville compare favor
ably with those of any city in the land. They
are accommodating, prompt and well behaved.
As they bear such a character il is no more
than right that favorable mention should be
made of them. We respect the profession for
various good reasons. BARRIERS are honorably
mentioned ia history, at that remote period
when the globe had scarcely recovered from
the damps of the deluge; BARRIERS are immor-
tai in the tales of the Arabian Nights; BARRIERS
figure with credit in later masterpieces of fc-
ton; aud BARRIERS at ;hC present time, we are
proud to say, possess all the characteristics
upon which their ancient fame was built
Physically, they are handsome, sometimes i'm
posing; morally, they are gen;eel, polished and
polite; and intellectually, they are far superior
60 great many of their patrons. OF their
importance as a class Of the community, little
need be said. Suppose the BARRIERS should con-
clude, every man of them, to lay by their ra-
zors and work no mores What would become
of us alll The simplest mind eau arrive at a
speedy solution to the problem.
Many black haired knowledge box that we
now see, would be either gray as a rat, or
smooth as a lurnip. Many a fascinating wave
OF hair that reflects the amorous sunbeams,
and gush Of locks that daily with the zephyrs
aud sweeten them with their ambrosial odors,
Tould typify the briar- bush, or stand six ways
for Sunday. The velvely cheek, the seductive
whisker and the killing noustache, would dis
appear in chaos of scrubs and kinks, and the
Don Juan of our city psrlors would be trans
formed in appearance to the wild ranger Of the
occidental hills. Credit would become i'm
paired; friendship weakened; love matches
broken off; discord regnant 10 the family circle;
and all the business, ali the happiness, all the
gentility, would fall-dreadfu thought! to that
class of the community who shave themselves
For time society would be upset; aud the
consequence would be, instead of the goodwill
and mutual reliance that now sweeten social
intercourse, q semi barberous and hostile state
of feeling, with every man an independent,
bungliug barber of his own, and rise ia the
price of court-plaster.
