Section 13

'• This work in this form has been for some j-ears before the public, and is the best and most complete edition published. The work is comiirised in two volumes of about six hundred pages each, containing the prefaces of Rollin and the ' History of the Arts and Sciences of the Ancients,' which have been omitted in most American editions." — Springfield Republic.
'• The work is too well known, and has too long been a favorite to require any commendationfrom us. Thougli in some matters more recent investi- gations have led to conclusions diilerent from those of the author, yet his general accuracy is unquestionable." — Wcf^iem Christian Advocc.te.
" Tins work is so well known as stnnd ird — as necessary to the completion of every gentleman's library — that any extended notice of it would be folly on our i)art. We have named it f()r the puri)ose of calling the attention of our readers to the beautiful edition issued by the enterprising house of Mess. Applegate & Co " — Jfet/wdist Protestant., Baltimore.
The public arc under obligations to Applegate &. Co. for their splendid edition of this standard History. — Times.
Works like this, that form a connecting link between the splendid civiliza- tion of the ancients, an boon to the lover of literature and the student of History. — Ruilroad Jiecord.
Time is fleeting — Empires perish and monuments moulder. But a book like tliis survives the wteck of time and the ravages of decay. — Globe.
The liistory of departed kingdoms, with the causes of their sad decline and fall, serve as light-linuses along the sea i>f life, to warn succeeding generations of their fite. and to teach tliem to avoid the mcks and quicksands of error and guilt on which they were wrecked. In no history is this purpose so well ac- complished as in that of Rjllin, a handsome edition of which has just been issued by Ajjplegate &. Co. — yiics.

Tiie Spectator
By Addison, Steele, etc., 1 vol. royal 8vo., 750 pages, with portrait of Addison. Sheep, spring back, marble edge.
The numerous calls for a complete and cheap edition of this valuable work, have induced us to neuly stereotype it, in this form, corresponding in style and price with our otlier books. Its thorough revisions have been com- mitted to competent hands, and will be found complete.
There is no work in the English language that has been more generally read, approved, and appreciated than The Spectator. It is a work that can be perused by persons of all classes and conditions of society with equal pleasure and profit.
" One hundred and forty years ago, when there were no daily newspapers nor periodicals, nor cheap fictions for the people, the Spectator had a daily ciiculation in England. It was witty, pithy, tasteful, and at times vigorous, and lashed the vices and follies of the age, and inculcated many useful les- sons wliicli would have been disregarded from more serious sources. It was widely popular." — Central Christian Iltrald.
" Applegate & Co., 43 Main street, have just published, in a handsome octavo volume of 750 pages, one of the verj'' best classics in our language. It wjuld be superfluous at this day to write a line in commendation of this w o r k . " — Ci7i . Com .
" There are few works, if any, in the English language that have been more higlily appreciated and generally read than tlie Sjiectator. It is in gen- eral circulation, and continues a popular work for general reading. I'he chaste style of its composition, and ])urity of its diction, has placed it high in rank among the English classics." — iSi. Lortis liepublican.
*' It is a source of general satisfaction to hear of the republication of a work of such standard merit as the Spectator. In these days, when the press teems with tlie issue of eithemeral publications, to subserve the purpose of an hour, to enlist momentary attention, and leave no im]>rovement on the mind, or impression on the heart — it is a cause of congratulation to see, now and then, coming from the press such works as this ; to last as it sliould, so long as a pure taste is cultivated or esteemed." — Cincinnati Gazette.
*' Criticism upon the literary merits of the Spectator would be rather late and superfluous at the present time. Steele, Addison and Swift are above criticism. This edition is gotten up in style and form that will make it pecu- liarly acceptable to the admirers of English literature. It is bound in one volume, with copious notes of the contributors prefixed. The type is clear and elegant, the paper sjood, and the binding excellently suitable for the li- brary."— Cincinruiti Daily Times.
" Amid the rush and whirl of this locomotive and high pressure ajre — amid the almost breathless rage for the light and flimsy eflusions with which the Laboring ])ress is inundating the world, Addison, the immortal Addison, — one of the most beautiful, chaste, elegant, and instructive, as well as pleasing writers of the English language, may be i)us!ied aside or overlooked for a time, but the healthful mind, satiated with the frothy productions of the times, will again return to such authors as Addison, and enjoy with renewed zest the pleasing converse of such pure and noble spirits." — Methodut Monthly. ^
