THE SPECTATOE. 



1 vol. royal 8vo, 750 pages, with a portrait of Addi- 

 son. Plain and embossed gilt. 



The numerous calls for a complete and cheap edition of 

 this valuable work, have induced us to newly stereotype it, 

 in this form, corresponding in style and price with our 

 other books. Its thorough revisions have been committed 

 to competent hands, and will be found complete. 



From the Central Christian Herald. 



" One hundred and forty years ago, when there were 

 no daily newspapers nor periodicals, nor cheap fictions for 

 the people, the SPECTATOR had a daily circulation in Eng- 

 land. It was witty, pithy, tasteful, and at times vigorous, 

 and lashed the vices and follies of the age, and inculcated 

 many useful lessons which would have been disregarded 

 from more serious sources. It was widely popular. It 

 contains some very excellent writing, not in the spasmodic, 

 moon-struck style of the fine writing of the present day, 

 Out in a free, graceful and flowing manner. It used to be 

 considered essential to a good style and a knowledge of 

 Belles-Lettres to have studied the Spectator, and we are 

 certain our age is not wise in the selection of some of 

 the substitutes which are used in its stead. It should yet 

 be a parlor volume, which should be read with great profit. 



" But we do not design to criticise the book, but have 

 prefixed these few facts for the information of our readers 

 to a notice of a new edition of the work by Messrs. Apple- 

 gate & Co. It is entirely of Cincinnati manufacture, and 

 is in a style very creditable to the enterprising house 

 which has brought it out." 



From the Cincinnati Commercial. 



" APPLEGATE & Co., 43 Main street, have just published, 

 in a handsome octavo volume of 750 pages, one of the 

 very best classics in our language. It would be super- 

 fluous at this day to write a line in commendation of thi* 

 work. The writings of Addison are imperishable, and 

 will continue to charm youth and age while language lasts."
