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.
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.
