PETBR SCHLSMIHL. 



PETER SCHLEMIHL IN AMEllICA. 



Complete in One Volume, \2ino. 



" The object of this work is to * catch ihe 

 manners living as they rise' in connection 

 with the antagonisms of the present day— 

 ^novelties which disturb the ^eace' — as Swe- 

 denborgianism, Transcendentalism, Fou- 

 rierism, and other isms. The author has ^ 

 made these pages the vehicle of valuable 

 information oa all the topics of which he 

 has treated." 



" Peter, as our readers may recollect, sold 

 his shadow to a Gentleman in Black, and 

 upon this fable the American adventures 

 are founded. The author, whoever ne may 

 be, has read much, and been at least ' a 

 looker on in Venice,' .f not a participator 

 of the follies of fashionable life. 



"The theological and political criticism 

 is inwoven with a tale of fashionable life, 

 and the reader becomes not a little interest- 

 ed in the heroine, Mrs Smith, who certainly 

 must have been a lemarkable woman. It 

 is nealiy published, and will be extensively 

 read." — Bulletin. 



" We shall be greatly mistaken if this 

 book does not kick up a whole cloud of 

 dust."— The City Item. 



*'TLe work is characterized by much 

 learning and sincere feeling." — N. Y. Mirror. 



" One of the most entertaining works we 

 have read for many a day, as well as one 

 of the best written. Who the author is we 

 know not; but we do know that the book 

 will meet with a rapid sale wherever an 

 inkling of its character leaks out. For 

 watering places, or anywhere, during the 

 hot weather, it is worth its weight in — gold 

 we almost said. It is full of everything of 

 the best, and you can scarcely open it at 

 random without striking upon some sketch 

 or dialogue to enchain the attention."— Ger- 

 mantown Telegraph. 



" His stock of knowledge is large ; and as 

 his conscience is rectified by Christian 

 principle, and his heart beats in unison 

 with the right and the true, he uses his trea- 

 sures of information only for good purposes, 



"The book belongs to that class of novels 

 which make an interesting story the me- 

 dium for the communication of important 

 *|uth. In many respects it is a peculiar 

 work, differing from all others in both de- 

 sign and execution, and leaving the impres- 

 sion that it is the product of a mind of no 

 ordinary power. * * * ♦ 



"Those who love to thinlc and/eeZ, as the 

 result of trulhtul thought, will read the book 

 with interest and profit." — Rejlector ^ Watch- 

 man. 



"A rare book. Who m the world wrote 

 it? Here are nearly five hundred pages 

 with gems on every one of them. The 

 satire is equal to that of Don Quixote or 

 Asmodeus. The hits at society in this 

 country are admirable and well pointed. ) 

 The humbugs of the day are skillfully ' 



shown up, and the morals of the book ar* 

 unexceptionable. The author cannot long 

 esftipe detection, in s{ute of his shadowy 

 concealment, and if a new practitioner ha 

 will jump to the head of his profession al 

 once." — Godey''s Lady''s Book. 



"We are prepared to say, that Peter 

 richlemihl is an exceedingly clear and 

 well-written work — that the author has 

 displayed a considerable amount of book 

 lore in its composition — that the story is in- 

 teresting and instructive — that we have 

 been entertained and edified by Us perusal, 

 and that it possesses merits of more than 

 ordinary character. We cordially recom- 

 mend it to the reading community, since we 

 are sure that they will be benefitted as well 

 as entertained by the revelations contained 

 in the pages of Peter.— TAe National Era. 



"A strangely conceived and ably executed 

 work."— iV. O. Com. Times. 



"The work forms a consecutive tale, all 

 along which runs a vein of severe satire, 

 and which at every step is illustrated by a 

 vast deal of valuable information, and the 

 inculcation of sound principles of morality 

 and religion. It is a work which is adapted 

 to do good, suited to all intelligent general 

 readers, and a pleasant companion for the 

 scholar's leisure hours."— iV. Y. Recorder. 



"This is a very remarkable production, 

 and unless we are greatly deceived, it is 

 from a new hand at the literary forge. We 

 have read every page of this thick volume, 

 and have been strongly reminded of South- 

 ey's great book, The^Doctor. The author of 

 this work must be a man of close observa- 

 tion, much research, and if we are accurate 

 in our estimate, he is a layman. * * * * 

 This same book will make a sensation in 

 many quarters, and will unquestionably 

 create a name and reputation for its author, 

 who forthwith takes his place among the 

 best and keenest writers of our country. * * 

 We commend it to the graved and gayest of 

 our readers, and assure them that our own 

 copy will not go off our table until another 

 winter has passed away."— JV. Y. AUianca 

 and Visitor. 



"The volume cannot fail to be read exten- 

 sively and do good, The popular '■ isms'' of 

 the day, their folly and injurious tendency, 

 are descanted upon with mingled gravity 

 and humor, and considerable talent and 

 truthful feeling are shown in the discus- 

 sion. Whether the book have an immediate 

 run or not, the soundness of its views, deli- 

 vered with some quaintness of style, will 

 insure it permanent popularity."— iV. York 

 Commercial Advertiser. 



"Light, sportive, graceful raillery, ex- 

 pressed with terse and delicate ease. * * • 



"It is a novel of fun, with grave notes by 

 way of ballast."— CAmfia^ Examiner,
