10 Biographical Works Published by J. J. Harper. 
LIFE OF MOHAMMED ; Founder of the Religion of Islam, 
and of the Empire of the Saracens. By Rev. George Bush, A.M. With an 
Engraving. I8mo. 
The objects of the writer in the preparation of this volume liave been condensation, 
clearness, and accuracy. It was written expressly for the pubUshers by an American 
author, and, in addition to the numerous and highly flattering commendations bestowed 
upon it by the press, it has received the testimonial of republication in England. In 
\ one respect, the plan adopted by the author presents an improvement upon preceding 
{ fnemoirs of the great impostor, in the careful collocation of the chapters of the Koran 
j with the events of the narrative, — a method by which the history is illustrated in a 
1 remarkable degree. The appendix, containing a series of prophetic investigations, 
\ is peculiarly curious, learned, and valuable. 
THE LIFE OF OLIVER CROMWELL. By Rev. M. Rus- 
sell, LL.D. In 2 vols. 18mo. With a Portrait. 
These volumes contain a popular History of one who, it is allowed, was, in many 
respects, the most extraordinary man t'hat England has ever produced. It has been^ 
the study of the author, while he availed himself of the labours of all of his prede- 
cessors, to give an unbiastd view of Cromwell's conduct ; in his early life ; at his first 
entrance upon public business; in his achievements as a soldier; in his rise to 
political power ; and, finally, in his government of those kingdoms which he was the 
first to conquer. The reverend gentleman is certainly entitled to the most unquali- 
fied praise for his exertions, and for the new, curious, and important information 
which he has collected and arranged ; and' those who peruse his work will be re- 
warded by mach valuable information. 
INDIAN BIOGRAPHY: or, an Historical Account of those 
Individuals who have been distinguished among the North American Natives 
as Orators, Warriors, Statesmen, and other Remarkable Characters. By B. B. i 
Thatchee, Esq. In 2 vols. 18mo. With a Portrait. 
The extensive popularity of these Biographies is one of the strongest e\'idences of 
their merit : within a very few months after the publication a large edition was dis- 
posed of, and the work was at once established as a standard. Until its appearance 
there was no authentic or satisfactory account of the Indians : notices of a few of 
the most distinguished among them in earlier times were to be found scattered through 
the pages of various historical works, but the number was very limited, and it might 
be said that all knowledge of their true character, and of the traits for which they were 
remarkable, was locked up in manuscripts or in obsolete publications. The writer 
of these volumes has, with great industry and perseverance, explored those almost 
unknown stores of information, and produced a work of the highest character for 
candour, extent, and accuracy. It haifbeen truly said, that until Mr. Thatcher took 
upon himself the office of their historian, full justice had never been done to the 
characters and actions of the aborigines. 
LIVES OF THE APOSTLES and EARLY MARTYRS of tpie 
CHURCH. Bythe Author of "The Trial of Skill." 18mo. Juvenile. 
The style is beautifully simple, and the narrative is interspersed with comments 
and reflections remarkable for their devout spirit, and for the clearness with which 
they elucidate whatever might appear to the mind either contradictory or unintelli- 
gible. It is impossible for any child to read these effecting histories without becoming 
interested; and the interest is so directed and improved as to implant and foster the 
purest principles of religion and morality. The most esteemed rehgious publications 
throughout the Union have joined in cordial expressions of praise to this work. 
THE LIFE AND REMAINS OF EDWARD DANIEL 
CLARKE ; Professor of Mineralogy in the University of Cambridge. By 
Rkv. William Otter, A. M. Complete in one volume, 8vo.
