VISITS TO EUROPEAN CELEBRITIES. By WILLIAM B. SPKAGUK, D D 



12mo. doth. $1.00. Second Edition. 



THE first edition of this work was exhausted within a short time after its publica- 

 tion. It consists of a series of Personal Sketches, drawn from life, of many of the 

 most distinguished men and women of Europe, with whom the author became 

 acquainted in the course of several European tours : Edward Irving, Rowland Hill, 

 Wilberforce, Jay, Robert Hall, John Foster, Hannah More, Guizot, Louis Philippe, 

 Sismoudi, Tholuck, Gesenius, Neander, Humboldt, Encke, Rogers, Campbell, Joanna 

 Baillie, John Pye Smith, Amelia Opie, Dr. Pusey, Mrs. Sherwood, Maria Edgeworth, 

 John Gait, Dr Wardlaw, Dr. Chalmers, Sir David Brewster, Lord Jeffrey, Professo? 

 Wilson, (Kit North,) Southey, and others, are here portrayed as the author saw them 

 in their own homes, and under the most advantageous circumstances. Accompany- 

 ing the Sketches are the AUTOGRAPHS of each of the personages described This 

 unique feature of the work adds in no small degree to its attractions. For the social 

 circle, for the traveller by railroad and steamboat, for all who desire to be refreshed 

 and not weared by reading, the book will prove to be a most agreeable companion. 

 The public press of all shades of opinion, North and South, have given it a most flat- 

 tering reception.

THIS was first published in Blackwood's Magazine, in which form it has attracted 

 general attention. It is the only connected and continuous narrative of the War in 

 Europe that has yet appeared. The author is an officer of rank in the British army, 

 and has borne an active part in the campaign ; he has also won a brilliant reputation 

 as the author of the fascinating story of " Lady Lee's Widowhood." By his profes- 

 sion of arms, by his actual participation in the conflict, and by his literary abilities, 

 he is qualified in a rare degree, for the task he has undertaken. The expectations 

 thus raised will not be disappointed. To those who have been dependent on the 

 orief, fragmentary, interrupted, and irresponsible newspaper notices of the war, this 

 book will furnish a full, complete, graphic, and perfectly reliable account from the 

 beginning. Should the author's life be spared, his history of future operations will 

 follow, and will be issued by the publishers uniform with the present volume. 



ROGET'S THESAURUS OF ENGLISH WORDS. A New and Improved 

 Edition. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50. 



THIS edition is based on the last London edition (just issued.) The first 

 American edition having been prepared by Dr. Sears, for strictly educational pur 

 poses, those words and phrases, properly termed " vulgar," incorporated into th 

 original work, were omitted. Regret having been expressed by critics and scholars, 

 whose opinions are entitled to respect, at this omission, in the present new 

 edition the expurgated portions have been restored, but by such an arrangement ol 

 matter as not to interfere with the educational purpose of the American editor 

 Besides this, there will be important additions of words and phrases net in the Eng 

 fish edition, making this, therefore, in all respects, more full and perfect than tb* 

 author's edition.
