This is the title of a large and closely printed octavo just issued from the press. It embraces much curious and valuable information, some of which is from original sources. The work, however, is badly arranged and carelessly written. The different parts, having but little connection with each other, should have been published separately.
A Kiss for a Blow. By Henry C. Wright. One volume, 18mo. Published at 31 North Fifth Street, Philadelphia.
Emma, or the Lost Found. One volume, 18mo. New York, Dayton & Newman: Philadelphia, Hogan & Thompson.
The Great Secret, or How to be Happy. One volume, 18mo. New York, Dayton & Newman: Philadelphia, Hogan & Thompson.
These are short stories, for children and youth, written with simplicity and in a genial and loving spirit, and in every way superior to the books of the class written before the last few years.
A Collection of the Promises of Scripture, under their proper heads, representing the Blessings promised, the Duties to which Promises are made, with an Appendix and Introduction, by Samuel Clarke, D. D. One volume, 32mo. New York, D. Appleton & Co. Philadelphia, Herman Hooker.
This little work is well known to Christians, and to others its title will convey an accurate idea of its character. The present edition is doubtless the most beautiful that has been published.
