NEW BOOKS 



Just published by J. W. Randolph. 



Black Acre v. White Acre — A case at Law. Reported by J. G., Esq., a retired Barrister of Lincolnshire 

 England. Now first printed "from a MS. of the reign of Queen Anne," price 75c. " Here are law, politics 

 and belles letters, all elegantly mingled together in an entertaining romance of Colonial Life in the reign of 

 Queen Anne — the Augustine Age of English Literature. The story is allegorical, and though the manu- 

 script claims to have come down to us from one of the past centuries, the story seems to have a prophetic ap- 

 plication to the condition of Northern and Southern society, in our own era. We will have more to say on 

 this rare morceau in a short time. Meanwhile we desire the public to become familiar with its contents. Let 

 no educated man fail to procure and read it through to the end — none will regret his pains. — Richmond Ex- 

 aminer-'''' 



" It is a Southern work, and abounds with fun, merriment and good hits at the fanatical spirit which gov- 

 erns the abolitionists at the North. The whole work is amusing as well as instructive, and commends itself 

 o all who peruse its pages ." ' —Charlottesville Jeffcrsonian. 



Scriptural and Statistical Views in favor of Slavery, 



By THORNTON STRI NGFK LW)W, I>. D. Price SOc. 



It is a complete exposition of the institution of Slavery, giving Bible evidence to sustain its legality. It is 

 a well written work, and will repay a perusal, and the author deserves the patronasre as well as jthe thanks of 

 the people of the Southhern States, for the able defence he has put forth in behalf of their institutions.— 

 Greenbriar Era-. 



" The true use of such a book at this time is [to dissipate the doubts of that apologetic class of people in 

 the South, who are in the habit of weakening the cause of the South by a weak defense and illogical support 

 of her vital institution of slavery." — N. O. Delia. 



Books sent by mail postpaid to those who remit the retail price.
