T.S. Arthur is one of the best literary writers of the
age.--_Watchman, Circleville, Ohio_.
The name alone of the author is a sufficient guaranty to the
reading public of its surpassing merit.--_The Argus, Gallatin,
Miss_.
Probably he has not written a line which, dying, he could wish
to erase.--_Parkersburg (Va.) Gazette_.
THE WAY TO PROSPER, AND OTHER TALES,
12mo, over 200 pages, with six illustrations.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
This is one of Mr. Arthur's best books. His object, and he
always has in view a noble one, is to recommend family union,
a firm adherence to the law which requires us to respect the
holy tie of family union, which requires brother to assist
brother, and sister, sister. By means of a lively and pleasing
narrative, he shows that this principle is not only right, but
politic, and that the law of family unions is really the true
way to prosper. We commend the volume to our readers as one
of the best and most profitable of the many useful works which
have been produced by the same accomplished writer.--_Godey's
Lady's Book_.
This is the title of a small volume published by Mr. J.W.
Bradley, of this city. It is from the pen of Mr. T.S.
Arthur--the story of two families, one of which prospers by
the union of good-will which prevails among the brothers,
and leads them always to aid each other in their worldly
undertakings; while the other goes to rack and ruin, because
the brothers always act upon the maxim, "Every one for
himself." The moral is excellent, and cannot be too earnestly
and widely inculcated.
Mr. Bradley has produced this little work in very handsome
style, with original embellishments from the fertile pencil of
Mr. Croome.--_Scotts Weekly_.
GOLDEN GRAINS FROM LIFE'S HARVEST FIELD,
bound in full gilt, with a beautiful mezzotint engraving, 12mo, 240
pages.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
It is not too much to say, that the Golden Grains here
presented to the reader, are such as will be productive of a
far greater amount of human happiness than those, in search of
which, so many are willing to risk domestic peace, health, and
even life itself, in a distant and inhospitable region.
These narratives, like all of those which proceed from the
same able pen, are remarkable not only for their entertaining
and lively pictures of actual life, but for their admirable
moral tendency.
It is printed in excellent style, and embellished with a
mezzotint engraving. We cordially recommend it to the favour
of our readers.--_Godey's Lady's Magazine_.
TRUE RICHES; or, WEALTH WITHOUT WINGS,
12mo, 210 pages, with a fine mezzotint Frontispiece.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
This volume is written by T.S. Arthur, the most popular of all
our American writers on domestic subjects. His intention is to
direct the reader to the real riches of life, the wealth which
cannot be taken away by the adverse events of fortune. The
true wisdom of life, he shows us, is to place our fortune
in ourselves, to make our own minds rich in intellectual
treasures, and our hearts true to the legitimate purposes and
ends of life. When the doctrine of this little volume becomes
universally prevalent, a new era of happiness will dawn upon
mankind.--_Godey's Lady's Book_.
