The Pictorial Family Register.

We have just received from those
well-known publishers of firstclass
Subscription Books, Messrs. E. Han
naford 4 Co, copy of their unique
and beautiful novelty, "The Picto.
rial Family Register" We hardly
know how to describe it, but may
say il combines the features of a
very tasteful Family Photograph
Album with complete and syste~
matically arranged family history.
1t has evidently been prepared with
great care 10 meet a real want in
society. In every family there are
sacred memories, connected with the
living and the dead, aud a safe, ele~
giant and tasteful arrangement for
preserving fuller record Of them
than is CONVENIENT in the Family
Bible, is often felt to be exceedingly
desirable. The publishers of the
work before us have provided for
this in admirable style.
A great deal of information, both
interesting and valuable, in the hiss
tory of every family is constantly
being forgotten and lost, for the
want of some means, just such as
the Register, for collecting and pre-
serving it. Its forms are neatly
printed and very simple, so that any
one who can write can easily fill
them up. In addition to these forms,
the "Register" (four pages) of each
tndtUidHat EN- braces a suitable space
for miscellaneous memoranda of any
kind, and leaf for the insertion of
photograph. There are enough of
these Registers TO include all desired
dates in respect to twenty-five indi-
vidual lives and persons. Two "Mili-
tary Records" are also added at the
close Of the work, for noting the
principle events in the military life
Of those members Of the family who
may once have served their country
in the army.
From this brief description, our
readers will perceive that the "Pic>
toriaI Family Register" is really a
treasury Of home comfort and house
hold information, a deSiderdtum and
a positive luxury. It is as useful,
too, as it is ornamental.
The enterprising publishers, Mess.
/. Hgnnaford 4 90, (117 West
Fourth Street, Cincinnati, and Is s
South Clark Street, Chicago,) ano
nounce that it will be sold by subs
scription only. They desire agents
for it everywhere. We are not in
formed in regard to the commissions
allowed, but, from the character and
standing of the firm, we have no
doubt they are liberal, and if SO, the
sale of this most popular work must
prove highly remnnerative.
