lineations of people, character and manners
-everupholding the cause ofreligion,moral-
ity and virtue, they should be welcome at
every ircsde where these precepts are
taught The great barrier heretofore, to
the introduction Of these works, has been
the high price at which they have been held,
but this objection is being now overcome,

to bring them within the means of oil per
sons whatever. To Messrs T. B. Peterson

cheap form, and their last enterprise is in
giving to the public, the works of Sir Wal
ter Scott, complete and unabridged, at the
very low price of 25 cents for each work,
