GOULD, KENDALL & LINCOLN are happy to announce that they have 

 completed arrangements with the Messrs. Chambers, of Edinburgh, for the 

 re-publication, in semi-monthly numbers, of CHAMBERS'S MISCELLANY. 

 The first number will be issued in July, and continued at regular intervals 

 until the work is completed. 



The design of the MISCELLANY is to supply the increasing demand for 

 useful, instructive, and entertaining reading, and to bring all the aids of 

 literature to bear on the cultivation of the feelings and understandings of 

 the people to impress correct views on important moral and social ques- 

 tions suppress every species of strife and savagery cheer the lagging 

 and desponding, by the relation of tales drawn from the imagination of 

 popular writers rouse the fancy, by descriptions of interesting foreign 

 scenes give a zest to every-day occupations, by ballad and lyrical po- 

 etry in short, to furnish an unobtrusive friend and guide, a lively fireside 

 companion, as far as that object can be attained through the instrumentality 

 of books. 



The universally acknowledged merits of the CYCLOPAEDIA OF ENGLISH 

 LITERATURE, by the Chambers', connected with its rapid sale, and the 

 unbounded commendation bestowed by the press, give the publishers full 

 confidence in the real value and entire success of the present work.
