ELEMENTS OF POT ITICAL ECONOMY. By FRANCIS WATLAND, 

 D. D., President of Brown University. Twenty-sixth thousand. 12mo, cloth, 1,25. 



B3- This important work of I>r. Wayland a is fast taking the place of every other text book on the 

 subject of Political Economt' in our colleges and higher schools in all parts of the country. 



The author says, " his object has been to write a book which every one who chooses may under- 

 stand. He has, therefore, "abored to express the general principles in the plainest manner possible, 

 and to illustrate them by cases with which every person is familiar. Jt has been to the author a 

 source of regret, that the course of discussion in the following pages has, unavoidably, led him over 

 ground which has frequently been the arena of political controversy. In all such cases, he has endeav- 

 ored to state what seemed to him to be truth, without fear, favor or affection. He is conscious to him- 

 self of no bias towards any ps.rty whatever, and he thinks that he who will read the whole work will 

 be convinced that h has been influenced by none." Extract from the Preface. 



It embraces the soundest system of republican political economy of any treatise extant. Advocate. 



We can say, with safety, that the topics are well selected and arranged ; that the author's name is a 

 guarantee for more than usual excellence. We wish it an extensive circulation. 3'. Y. Observer. 



POLITICAL ECONOMY, ABRIDGED, by the Author, and adapted 

 to the use of Schools and Academies. Thirteenth thousand. 18mo, half morocco* 

 Price 50 cents. 



*** The success which has attended the abridgment of " The Elements of Moral Sci- 

 ence " has induced the author to prepare an abridgment of this work. 'In this case, as in 

 the other, the work has been entirely rewritten, and an attempt has been made to adapt it to 

 Ihe attainments of youth. 



The original work of the author, on Political Economy, has already been noticed on our pages; an<l 

 the present abridgment stands in no need of a recommendation from us. We may be permitted how- 

 ever, to say, that both the rising and the risen generations are deeply indebted to Dr. Wayland for the 

 skill and power he has put forth to bring a highly Important subject distinctly before them, within 

 such narrow limits. Though "abridged for the use of academies," it deserves to be introduced into 

 every private family, and to be studied by every man who has an interest in the wealth and prosper- 

 ity of his country. It is a subject little understood, even practically, by thousands, and still less un- 

 derstood theoretically. It is to be hoped this will form a class book, and be faithfully studied in our 

 academies, and that it will find its way into every family library ; not there to be shut tip unread, but 

 to afford rich material for thought and discussion in the family circle. It is fitted to enlarge the mind, 

 to purify the judgment, to correct erroneous popular impressions, and assist every man informing 

 opinions of public measures, which will abide the test of time and experience. Puritan Recorder. 



An abridgment of this clear, common-sense work, designed for the use of academics, is just pub- 

 lished. We rejoice to see such treatises spreading among the people ; and we urge all, who would be 

 intelligent freemen, to read them. N. Y. Transcript. 



PALEY'S NATURAL THEOLOGY. Illustrated by forty Plates, and 

 Selections from the notes of Dr. Paxton, with additional Notes, original and selected, for 

 this edition; with a vocabulary of Scientific Terms. Edited by JOHN WARE, M. D., 

 New edition, with new and elegant Illustrations. 12mo, sheep, 1,25. 



03~ This deservedly popular work has become almost universally introduced into all school*, acad- " 

 mies, and colleges, where the subject is studied, throughout the country. 



The work before us is one which deserves rather to be studied than merely read. Indeed, without 

 diligent attention and study, neither the excellences of it can be fully discovered, nor its advantages 

 realized. It is, therefore gratifying to find it introduced, as a text book, into the colleges and literary 

 institutions of our country. The edition before us is superior to any we have seen, and, we believe, 

 superior to any that has yet been published. Spirit of the Pilgrims. 



Perhaps no one of our author's works gives greater satisfaction to all classes of readers, the young 

 and the old, the ignorant and the enlightened. Indeed, we recollect no book in which the arguments 

 for the existence and attributes of the Supreme Being, to be drawn from his works, are exhibited in a 

 manner more attractive and more convincing. Christian Examiner. TJJ
