One of the most valuable books for youth that we have seen.—Cong. Journal.

CHAMBERS’S WORKS.
CHAMBERS’S HOME BOOK AND POCKET MISCELLANY. Containing a Choice Selection of Interesting and Instructive Reading for the Old and the Young. Six vols. 16mo, cloth, 3,00.
This work is considered fully equal, if not superior, to either of the Chambers’s other works in interest, and, like them, contains a vast fund of valuable information. Following somewhat the plan of the “Miscellany,” it is admirably adapted to the school or the family library, furnishing ample variety for every class of readers, both old and young.
We do not know how it is possible to publish so much good reading matter at such a low price. We speak a good word for the literary excellence of the stories in this work; we hope our people will introduce it into all their families, in order to drive away the miserable flashy-trashy stuff so often found in the hands of our young people of both sexes.—Scientific American.
Both an entertaining and instructive work, as it is a very cheap one.—Puritan Rec.
It cannot but have an extensive circulation.—Albany Express.
Of all the series of cheap books, this promises to be the best.—Bangor Mercury.
