The following books are particularly adapted for family read- 

 ing, and we do hope, as our political troubles are ended for 

 awhile, that our friends will now settle down to their " sober 

 second thoughts," and as " knowledge is power" and " informa- 

 tion capital," that instead of being satisfied with the periodical 

 trash of the day, they will store their minds with something 

 more solid, and for that purpose make a selection from the fol- 

 lowing list: 



FAMILY PRAYERS AND HYMNS, adapted to family 

 worship, and tables for the regular reading of the Scriptures. By Rev. 

 S. C. Winchester, A. M. 1 vol. 12mo. 



THE YOUNG LADIES' AND GENTLEMENS' PAR- 

 LOUR LIBRARY, 6 vols. 32mo. 



These two beautiful works are particularly adapted to promote the wel- 

 fare and happiness of the rising generation. 



A. UNIVERSAL BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY, con- 



taining the Lives of the most Celebrated Characters of every age and nation. 



COWPER AND THOMSON'S PROSE AND POETICAL 



WORKS, complete in 1 vol. 8vo., including two hundred and fifty Letters, 

 and sundry Poems of Cowper, never before published in this country; and of 

 Thomson a new and interesting Memoir, and upwards of twenty new poems, 

 for the first time printed from his own Manuscripts, taken from a late edition 

 of the Aldine Poets, now publishing in London. 



The distinguished Professor Silliman, speaking of this edition, observes, 

 "I am as much gratified by the elegance and fine taste of your edition, as 

 by the noble tribute of genius and moral excellence which these delightful 

 authors have left, for all future generations; and Cowper especially, is not 

 less conspicuous as a true Christian moralist and teacher, than as a poet of 

 great power and exqtiisite taste." 



GOLDSMITH'S ANIMATED NATURE, in 4 vols. 8vo., 



beautifully illustrated. 



"Goldsmith can never be made obsolete, while delicate genius, exquisite 

 feeling, fine invention, the most harmonious metre, and the happiest diction 

 are at all valued." 



This is a work that should be in the Library of every family, being writ- 

 ten by one of the most talented authors in the English language. 



THE WORKS OF LAURENCE STERNE, in 1 vol. 8vo., 



with a life of the author, written by himself.
