VIRGINIA LANDS. 
THE attention of Northern Farmers who wish to purchase 
in Fairfax County, Va., is invited particularly to two farms 
for sale, three miles east from Fairfax Court House, thirteen 
from Alexandria, and fourteen from the city of Washington. 
There are no buildings on either tract, but, by following the 
custom of the country, comfortable and temporary ones can be 
cheaply built. The soil is well adapted to farming purposes, 
and there is timber on them, near two sawmills. 
These farms would sell in the north, for from $50 to $100 
per acre, and can be bought here in a more pleasant and 
healthy climate, one for eight, the other ten dollars per acre, 
on easy terms, and a good title given. 
Further information given, if requested, by T. R. Love, trus¬ 
tee, eitker personally, or by letter (postage paid), directed to

MACAULAY’S HISTORY OF ENGLAND 
FROM THE ACCESSION OF JAMES II. 
Vols. I. <$• II. 8vo, Muslin , gilt , $2 each. 
ESTIMATED even by the ordinary means of judgment, Mr 
Macaulay’s qualifications and opportunities are such as to 
warrant no ordinary anticipations. By the side of signal po¬ 
litical facilities, the minor advantages of rich materials and an 
almost untrodden field become nearly imperceptible. The 
domestic and the external life of the British nation are to be 
distinctly portrayed. A perfect history can never be writ¬ 
ten ; but the approximation has been made by Mr. Macaulay 
to this consummate ideal. He has, as we before observed, had 
the double advantage of unusually good guidance and an al¬ 
most untrodden field .—London Times. 
A book which will be highly popular as long as the English 
language lasts. His style is terse and brilliant, and his gene¬ 
ral views of a far-seeing and impartial character. It js, in¬ 
deed, delightful reading, but it stands in no need of the praise 
—the great praise—we are bound to bestow upon it .—London 
Literary Gazette. 
Mr. Macaulay frequently rectifies a general prejudice by 
bringing to his task a calmer and more searching considera¬ 
tion, if not a larger mind, than has yet been brought to the 
subject. Absolute novelty in the main facts will not, of 
course, be found, but in those traits that mark the manners of 
the time, the general reader will be introduced to almost a 
new world .—London Spectator. f2t*.
