CHAMBEES'S WORKS. 



CHAMBERS'S HOME BOOK AND POCKET MISCELLANY. Con- 

 taining a Choice Selection of Interesting and Instructive Reading for the Old and the 

 Young. Six vols. J6mo, cloth, 3,00. 



This work is considered fully equal, if not superior, to either of the Chambers's other works in in- 

 terest, and like them, contains a vast fund of valuable information. Following somewhat the plan 

 of the " Miscellany, ' it is admirably adapted to the school or the family library, furnishing ample va- 

 riety for every class of readers, both old and young. 



"We do not know how it is possible to publish so much good reading matter at such a low price. 

 "We speak a good word for the literary excellence of the stories in this work ; we hope our people wih 

 introduce it into all their families in order to drive away the miserable flashy -trashy stuff so often, 

 found in the hands of our young people of both sexes. Scientific American, 



Both an entertaining and instructive work, as it is certainly a very cheap one. Puritan Recorder. 

 It cannot but have an extensive circulation. Albany Express. 



Excellent stories from one of the best sources in the world. Of all the series of cheap books, thii 

 promises to be the best Hangar Mercury. 



If any person wishes to read for amusement or profit, to kill time or improve it, get " Chambers'g 

 Home Book." Chicago Times. 



The Chambers are confessedly the best caterers for popular and useful reading in the world. 

 Willis's Home Journal. 



A very entertaining, instructive, and popular work. N. Y. Commercial. 



The articles are of that attractive sort which suits us in moods of indolence, when we would linger 

 halfway between wakefulness and sleep. They require just thought and activity enough to keep our 

 feet from the land of Nod, without forcing us to run, walk, or even stand. Eclectic, Portland. 



The reading contained in these books is of a miscellaneous character, calculated to have the very 

 best effect upon the minds of young readers. While the contents are very far from being puerile, they 

 are not too heavy, but most admirably calculated for the object intended. Evening Gazette. 



Coming from the source they do, we need not say that the articles are of the highest literary excel- 

 lence. We predict for the work a large sale and a host of admirers. East Boston. Ledger. 



It is just the thing to amuse a leisure hour, and at the same time combines instruction with amuse- 

 ment. Dover Inquirer. 



Messrs. Chambers, of Edinburgh, have become famous wherever the English language is spoken 

 and read, for their interesting and instructive publications. We have never yet met with any thing 

 which bore tlie sanction of their names, whose moral tendency was in the least degree questionable. 

 They combine instruction with amusement, and throughout they breathe a spirit of the purest moral- 

 ity. Chicago Tribune,
