In advertising the above work, we take
great pleasure in recommending the same
to our numerous readers as one worthy
OF their best support in every respect, as
it contains extensive information in re-
gard to the lives of the best men that ev-
er blessed our earthly abode, and the re-
ligious progress of the world, which it
would require the research of many IL
braries to obtain otherwise, and perhaps
in much less thorough manner.
The agent for the above work, Mr.. j.
Easton, of Chicago, will call upon our
citizens for the purpose of exhibiting the
work and obtaining subscriptions for it.
He has our best wishes for success.
