COMMERCIAL GARDEN AND NURSERY. 
PARSONS & CO., at Flushing, near New York. The pro- 
E rietors of this establishment invite public attention to their 
irge assortment of every desirable variety of Fruit and 
Ornamental Tree or Shrub. Their importations of every¬ 
thing new in Europe are annually continued, and they 
offer a very large variety of Ornamental Trees and Shrubs 
imported expressly for arboretums and pleasure grounds. 
Their collection of Roses is annually enriched by novel¬ 
ties from abroad, many of which may be found described 
in their new work on the Rose, recently published. Fruit 
Trees receive their particular attention, and are propagated 
under their personal supervision ; this care, with their pos¬ 
session of extensive specimen grounds, in which is tested 
every variety of fruit they cultivate, enables them confidently 
to guarantee the genuineness of the varieties. 
Their care in pruning and cultivation enables them also to 
send out thrifty and well-formed trees. From their large scale 
of propagation, they can offer to dealers very liberal discounts, 
where hundreds or thousands are taken. Orders or inquiries 
can be addressed to the proprietors at Flushing, near New 
York, where catalogues will also be furnished. They have 
established a Branch at Brighton Depot near Boston and by 
the entire success of their trees transplanted thither have 
thoroughly proved the superior adaptation of Long-Island 
Trees to the soil and climate of any part of New England. 
This they attribute to the perfect maturity attained by the 
wood before frost, which renders the trees suitable for trans¬ 
portation to any latitude. 
At the season of transplanting, a salesman will be at their 
Brighton Branch to furnish those who may prefer obtaining 
their supply thence. \ ■ mhtf

TPIE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 
from the Discovery of the Continent to the Organization of 
Government under the Federal Constitution. By Richard 
Hildreth, complete, in three volumes octavo, $7.50. 
This important work presents, in a compact and popular 
form the first complete history of the United States that has 
ever appeared. The author’s pursuits and studies have pre¬ 
pared him for the most faithful and skillful executio'n of his 
task. The style is characterized by great perspicuity, force, 
and gracefulness ; the narrative is unencumbered, and the 
tone of the history sound and scholar-fike. He gives the 
great mass in our reading country just the history which is 
adapted to their wants, and which, we have no doubt, will at 
once gain the position that it deserves, of a popular, readable 
book for the million, which may be relied on for the correct¬ 
ness of its details, while it wins the attention by the simple 
beauty of its narrative.— Corr. Boston Chronotype. 
It is full of detail, bears marks of care and research, and is 
written under the guidance of clear sight and good judgment, 
rather than of theory, philosophical or historical, or of preju¬ 
dice of any sort whatever. We trust it will be widely read. 
— N. Y. Courier Enquirer. 
A SECOND VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES. By Sir 
Charles Lyell, F.R.S In two volumes, T2mo ; muslin, $1.50. 
The author looks at Nature with learned as well as picto¬ 
rial eyes. He not only sees her wonders and her beauties, 
but he knows their sources and their consequences, so that 
he informs as well as pleases the mind. His book abounds in 
social sketches, and anecdotes and incidents illustrative of so¬ 
ciety in all its various classes.— London Spectator. 
An intelligent account of the author’s travels, with observa¬ 
tions upon his favorite science, geology, criticisms upon so¬ 
ciety, and remarks upon sectional differences, sectional pros¬ 
perity, and the various institutions of the country. We com¬ 
mend it to the public, as both useful and entertaining.— Troy 
Gazette. 
LITERARY CORNER STONE. 
:t ONCE possessed of a work so able, copious and scientifi¬ 
cally constructed, as 
WEBSTER’S QUARTO DICTIONARY, 
one discovers a hundred benefits previously unthought of. 
Old uses, and new uses, and disuses and abuses,—old terms, 
and new terms, and the history of the rise and progress of 
terms,—together with apt citations, pointed and sparkling,— 
with other benefits I need not attempt to enumerate,—com¬ 
bine to make him feel the work a desideratum,—to lay it as a 
corner stone in his library. Or rather,—since corner stones 
are not often disturbed,—as a janitor,—a librarian,—ever at his 
post, ready to converse on whatever topic is at hand.”
