The paper, the engravings, the binding, and the literary
contents, are all calculated to make it a favourite.--_Penn.
Inquirer_.
This volume cannot be too highly recommended.--_N.Y. Tribune_.
More good has been effected, than by any other single medium
that we know of.--_N.Y. Sun_.
The work should be upon the centre-table of every parent in
the land.--_National Temperance Magazine_.
A single story is worth the price charged for the
book.--_Union, Newburyport, Mass_.
ARTHUR'S SKETCHES OF LIFE AND CHARACTER, an octavo volume of over 400
pages, beautifully illustrated, and bound in the best English muslin,
gilt.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
The present volume, containing more than four hundred
finely-printed octavo pages, is illustrated by spirited
engravings, and made particularly valuable to those who
like to "see the face of him they talk withal," by a correct
likeness of the author, finely engraved on steel.--_Neal's
Gazette_.
In the princely mansions of the Atlantic merchants, and in
the rude log cabins of the backwoodsman, the name of Arthur
is equally known and cherished as the friend of
virtue.--_Graham's Magazine_.
We would not exchange our copy of these sketches, with
its story of "The Methodist Preacher," for any one of
the gilt-edged and embossed annuals which we have yet
seen.--_Lady's National Magazine_.
The first story in the volume, entitled, "The Methodist
Preacher, or Lights and Shadows in the Life of an Itinerant,"
is alone worth the price of the work.--_Evening Bulletin_.
It is emphatically a splendid work.--_Middletown Whig_.
Its worth and cheapness should place it in every person's
hands who desire to read an interesting book.--_Odd Fellow,
Boonsboro_.
"The Methodist Preacher," "Seed Time and Harvest," "Dyed in
the Wool," are full of truth, as well as instruction, and any
one of them is worth the whole price of the volume.--_Lowell
Daystar, Rev. D.C. Eddy, Editor_.
There is a fascination about these sketches which so
powerfully interests the reader, that few who commence one
of them will part with it till it is concluded; and they will
bear reading repeatedly.--_Norfolk and Portsmouth Herald_.
Those who have not perused these model stories have a
rich feast in waiting, and we shall be happy if we can
be instrumental in pointing them to it.--_Family Visitor,
Madison, Geo_.
No library for family reading should be considered complete
without this volume, which is as lively and entertaining in
its character, as it is salutary in its influence.--_N.Y.
Tribune_.
The work is beautifully illustrated. Those who are at all
acquainted with Arthur's writings need hardly be told that the
present work is a prize to whoever possess it.--_N.Y. Sun_.
We know no better book for the table of any family, whether
regarded for its neat exterior or valuable contents.--_Vox
Populi, Low_.
The name of the author is in itself a sufficient
recommendation of the work.--_Lawrence Sentinel_.
