cription Of its Pairlarchs, Judges, Women,
Warriors, Poets, Kings, &c, sc. The work
Is published only by subscription, by ]. H..
Burr " Co., Hartford, and is, We think, a
most desirable and attractive volume. IT is
proiusely illustrated with steel plates, and
contains malter-handsomelY prinied-ot
much intrinsic value and merit. Tho work
is not at all lenominalional, but contains
articles from the pens of eminent divincs
and writer's Of all denominations, among
whom we find the names of Beecher, Clark
and others.
The Rev. Samuel Caldwell is now in our
city acting us agent lor the publishers, and
will call upon our citizens for subscriptions.
He is q gentleman of excellent address,
ready and willing TO give any information
concerning the merits and character. of the
work that may be desired.
Our own.iudgmcnt of the work is that it
is one which the general reader as well as
the student OF history cannot well afford to
do without, as ii imparts so much really
needed information not readily obtained IN
the same space and at the same cost, through
the medium Of any other single publication.
