FROM A "WESTERN POETESS. The lansuage is chaste and appropriate, the character* 

 flne'y drawn, and the whole makes a fine family picture, which some great artist like 

 Powers, or Durand, might chisel into palpable form, or cause to glow upon the almost 

 breathing canvass with admirable effect M us. JANE MARIA MEAD. 



The author evinces ingenuity in the construction of his Allegory, the perusal of 

 which cannot fail to contribute to the amusement and instruction of the intelligent and 

 pure-minded, to whom the volume is allectionately and respectfully dedicated. It is 

 a well printed volume, &c., &c. UEV. Dr. FLOY National Jftigainne.

 commend them to the readers' approval, and to make a salutary and lasting impression 

 upon their minds; while the intrinsic interest of the work, will delight, instruct, and 

 improve. Syracuse Journal. 



The truthfulness of its characters, in all their movements and relations, challenges 

 aniversal recognition far more so than had they been drawn from individual, ratlier 

 than universarexperience. The author of the volume before us has taken hold of his 

 subject with much of Uunyan's spirit and power, and in treating the ereat family of 

 Christian virtues Truth, Hope, Charity, Faith, Patience, &c. in their ssparate or 

 associated development in human life, he has invested them with more than mortal 

 sUity, and clothed them about with transcendent grace and beauty. Evening Kin or
