No book has been issued from the Amerl
can Press for long time that deserves so
universal . circulation as this. Bible Die
tionaries have been prepared in form eryearS;
some were meager and imperfect, and all
have been outgrown. Calmet's was surpass-
ed bv Kittos kitto'S, and indeed, all others,
have been far outrivaled by this of DR.. Smith,
of the London University, and the most emf
ncnt Lcxicographer Of the English speaking
world.
Having finished this great work. DR.. S.
then prepared condensed edition tthe work
being in three massive octave volumes, was
TOO large and costly for the public generally,
which should include all that is best adapted
to the needs of Christian families and Sabbath
School Teachers. This is the Work now re-
published-in in this country, whose title we have
given, and we do not hesitate to say that ii
should 60 into every dwelling where there is
any desire TO read and study the Bible intel
ligently and with profit, Every person cons
nected with a Sabbath School, either as
teacher or pupil, and every parent should, by
allmeanS, avail themselves Of this incOmpara-
bic help.
This edition is in the highest style Of the
art, largely illustrated with elegant wood and
steel engravings AMI maps, pIrted in clear
and beautiful type, and IN every rcpcct in
harmony with the high character and value
! Of the work. No House SurpaSSes this enter
priSing publishing firm in the artistic finish
and elegance of their books. And in the issue
of this, they have spared no pains nor expense.
It has several special and essential merits be-
yonl The English edition, and especially over
any other reprint in This country. 1t con-
tans all the matter Of the largest edition, cX-
cept nun: rouS diSquisiiionS and critical notes
on original Hebrew and Greek terms. which
| arc OF TO practical value TO the general Eng
lish student, and considerably more than
twice the reading matter Of the smaller book.
| With all its elegance and embellishments it
is the cheapest edition.
1t is having a large and rapid sale, as
nothing but straitened means can induce any
wise parent or faithful teacher to decline the
offer OF an auxiliary for the understanding of
| the Scriptures.
The Agent Of this valuable work, Rev. L.
r. ScruggS, will remain in town for few
| days, and we commend him to the courtesy
| and patronage of our citizens, and trust ne
will meet with that success commensurate
with the rare merits Of the work.

to buzz in it also, for there is western
sketch of a Bee Hunt on the Prairie" by
Miss Thomas; a second article by Arthur
Gilman, on beginning an Apiary;" and the
pretty Little Folk Songs" include one about
a bee. There is bird story in "a Wood
robin Abroad" and one Of 'Laurels and
Daisy Chains" Hans Andersen also sends

heralded in the "Rivcr$!de." $3.50 year.
