*'A MOST INTENSELY EXCITING BOOK." 



OR, BOUND AND FREE, 



A TALE just published by ua is winning golden opinions. 

 After alluding to " The Lamplighter," and other of the most 

 aaccessful books of the present century, the New York Saturday 

 Evening Courier sa\3 of the " Rag Picker :" 



'' The latest novel of this class, and we may add, the most origi- 

 1 in its concepti' n, the widest in its scope, the most interesting 

 its narrative, and the best in its execution, is the handsome du- 

 odecimo under review." 



From tke Boston Liberator. 

 "We have read this work, which claims to be *a record of the 

 facta' by an eye and ear witncB, with thrilling interest at a single 

 "tting. It deserves to be placed in the same category with ' Uucle 

 om's Cabin,' though not ao escUifiively devoted to delineations of 

 the slave system at the South. What higher panegyric can we be- 

 ow upon it ?" 



From the Boston Transcript. 

 **The story is a most exciting one, well and powerfully written. 

 • • It is a rem^irkable story. 



From the Puritan Recorder. 



This is a most sMrring and pathetic story. • • The au- 



lor assuies ua that his statements are throughout nothing but 



sober verity ; and that many of the persons whose character and 



experienc ' are here described, are still living in various parts of 



the United States. If ihia be really so, (and we have no right to 



dispute the author's word), we can only say, that they form the 



most remarkable group of personages which have ever come within 



our knowledge. It is a most intensely exciting book. Price, $1,25. 



Will be published soon,

A BOOK FOR BOTH SEXK3. 

 THE PHYSIOLOGY OF MARRIAGE. 



By a Married Man and Distinguished Physician. 



IT is one of the most remarkable hooka which has been published 

 in any country. In language simple, decorous, and rtspeclful, 

 and in terms of fatherly kindness it reveals to the your g of both 

 sexes a fund of inlormation hitherto chiefly inaccessible in any 

 reliable form, and for want of which many have been prompted to 

 resort to sources either questionable or of immoral tendency. The 

 work is written by one of our jldest and most experienced medical 

 men, who has devoted a long life to the study of Physiology. The 

 work was examined in manuscript by competent judges, and pro- 

 nounced to he as unexceptionable as any work which has appeared 

 in the English language. It breathes, moreover, a truly Christian 

 spirit. The following, brieily, are its contents : 

 Chapter 1. The True Relation of the Sexes. 



" 2. Premature Marriage and its Consequences. 



" 3. Enors of Education. 



" 4. Errors of Courtship. 



" 5. Individual Transgression and ita Penalties. 



" 6. Social Errors and their Punishment, 



'• 7. Physical Laws of Marriage. 



" 8. A Fundamental Error. 



*' 9. The Laws of Pregnancy. 



" 10. Crime without a Name. 



" 11. The Laws of Lactation. 



" 12. A crime that ought not to be Named. 



" 13. Directions to Parents and Guardians. 



" 14. General Directions.
