Great cite which are the hearts of
great nations. are always fruitful topics
for the pen of askillful writer; but prob
ably no city in the world eenters in her
self moro Anaterici of varied interest than
does New York. SO, 10 work which
could come to our readers, who love. TO
know "what's going on in the world, ;"
and "how people live" would be apt to
be found so intensely interesting as the
one whose title we quote above. J. B.
Burr 4 Co, the publishers Of the work,
certainly knew what they were about
in giving it tothe public. 1t must have
u vast sale, for "every body and his
neighbour cannot but find in the book
a great deal to excite and interest him,
to say nothing of the Thousand valuable
matters of solid information which it
affords. Nobody from the country
should ever visit New York without
having first read this book; and the old
frequenter of that city will find scattered
here and there throughout its pages,
hosts of things which may have escaped
his attention, and vii! rise from the
g -, Io
sure not to lay aside till he has finished
it, which that sort of pleasure which
one feels in rcvisiting in manhood the
scenes of his childhood, or i'm wandering
and low; moral worth, and craft and
cunning; joys and SORROWS; smiling for
tune and frowning penury; the home
and affairs of devotion and purity, and
the interior views Of the homes Of de-
bnucllery and crime, etc, etc., are here
painted in their true colors. The pub
fishers deserve the public's most pra ct;-
cal thanks for this work.
BALLoU's MONTHLY MAGAzINE.-
The December number of this popular
Magazine is received. We find it Tiled
with that charming variety of ilius.ra-
ton and interesting letter-press SO well
calculated to keep it at the head of the
cheap Magazines Of the country. Shil-
lubcr treats us TO one of his most must
cal illustrated poems; Mrs. Edison closes
her interesting serial, "A Woman's En-
rOr;n William l.. Williams gives the
young folks an exciting story, while
Jane q. Austin, James Franklin Fits,
Catharine Erilshaw, w. III. Macy, n.
r. Darling and several other writers of
more or less note furnish each a capital
story or poem. The humorous pictures
are unconmonly good, embracing four
different subjects, illustrated by six en-
cravings designed by Rogers.
The publishers announce for 1869 a
new serial by the charming Miss Camil
Ia William, also an original story for boys
and girls, to run through the year, by
Horatio Alger. Jr., one of the most pop
ular writers for the young. They also
promise increased attractions in stories
and illustrations for the coming year,
over those Of any previous one. As their
promises have been more than PERFORM
ed in the past, we have reason to believe
they will continue to be in the future,
though it Is difficult to see how BALLOU
cal be much improved over its present
excellence. It is sent to subscribers at
81 80 per year, or in clubs for 81 ,25. Eli
