A FEW THOUGHTS FOR A YOUNG MAN.
By HORACE MANN.
Cloth, 50 cents.
In 1849, Horace Mann, one of the most skilful and sympathetic educators known to this country, delivered a lecture before the Mercantile Association, Boston, choosing for his theme: "Thoughts for a Young Man." So kind, fatherly, wise, and sagacious were the counsels to young men embodied in this lecture, that its publication was immediately sought for; and the work enjoyed a wide popular circulation. Sundry editions have been redemanded; and it now appears from the publishing house of Lee & Shepard, Boston. The book is earnestly commended to young men for its sober recall from the deceptive glitter of material things, its lofty inculcations and its wholesome precepts. The author well deserved the statue which stands in front of the Massachusetts State House.—Newark Advertiser.

Dear Mr. Bigelow,—I sent for your "Punctuation and other Typographical Matters" (having long groaned over bad pointing in authors and printers), and was glad to find an excellent manual which will contribute to the comfort of many. I cordially recommend it to all authors, printers, and men of letters.
