From the Nashville and Louisville Christian Advocate. 

 " PLUTARCH'S LIVES. This great work, to which has 

 long since been awarded the first honors of literatute, is 

 now published complete in one volume by Messrs. Apple- 

 gate & Co., of Cinciutiati, and offered at so low a price as 

 to place it within the reach of all. This is a desideratum, 

 especially in this age of ' many books/ Next in impor- 

 tance to a thorough knowledge of history, and in many 

 respects fully equal to it, is the study of well authenti- 

 cated biography. For this valuable purpose, we know of 

 no work extant superior to the fifty lives of Plutarch. It 

 Is a rare magazine of literary and biographical knowledge. 

 The eminent men whose lives compose this work, consti- 

 tute almost the entire of that galaxy of greatness and 

 brightness, which stretches across the horizon of the dis- 

 tant past, and casts upon the present time a mild and 

 steady luster. Many of them are among the most illus- 

 trious of the earth." 



From the Ladies' Repository. 



" It is a better piece of property for a young man to 

 own, than an eighty acre lot in the Mississippi Valley, or 

 many hundred dollars in current money. We would 

 rather leave it as a legacy to a son, had we to make the 

 choice, than any moderate amount of property, if we were 

 certain he would read it; and, we are bound to add, that, 

 were we now going to purchase a copy, this edition would 

 have the preference over every other of which we hav 

 any knowledge."
