Several of these gentlemen have an established national reputation, and others les. widely known, are introduced with facts in their personal history to abide the public judg ment. In the memoirs are necessarily interwoven many topics deserving preservation' aside from the light they shed on individual character. A number of valuable documents and letters relative to Georgia affairs, have been produced to the public for the first time. These Memoirs of Statesmen, Jurists and Advocates, have been prepared in a manner to interest readers generally; and to the legal profession especially they cannot fail to prove a source of lively entertainment. Much of the matter will be found useful for re

ference.

FIFTH EDITION IN PRESS!!!

THE BOOK OF THE AGE! UNPARALLELED SUCCESS! Four Editions Sold in Two Weeks! The Great Italian Novel, BEATRICE CENCI,

An Historical Novel of the 15th Century. BY GUERRAZZI. Translated from the Original Italian, by LUIGI MONTI, of Harvard University. 12mo. Bound in cloth. With a Steel Engraving, after the celebrated Portrait by Guido Reni. Price, $1 25, cloth, or $2, half calf.

What the Press say of it.

From the New York Home Journal.

It is the most powerful of recent Italian fictions, and will have a large sale.

From the New York L'Eco D'Italia. The edition by Professor Monti is faithfully and correctly translated.

From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. It will win unqualified commendation for its artistic excellence as a tale.

From the Boston Transcript. Signor Monti has executed a translation which certainly has the merit of fidelity-in its English version it has the spirit and essence of the original.

From the Boston Post. Ladies will find a mournful fascination in its pages.

From the Boston Courier.. The publication of "Beatrice Cenci " will prove the opening of a new and unexplored field of literature filled with fresh charms and of truly captivating interest.

From the Boston Traveller.

The story of "Beatrice Cenci" is the saddest that ever occurred, and more terrible than anything that was ever invented.

N. B.

A CASE OF COURTESY (?) A carelessly prepared and imperfect translation of this famous novel has, we understand, been offered to several prominent Publishers in this City, who have declined issuing it, as our edition had been announced long ago. The translator, however, at last found a publishing house, which is hastily issuing this feeble translation in cheap paper parts-thus notoriously violating trade etiquette. The reader, therefore, who desires a faithful and vigorous translation of this great author, by an accomplished Italian scholar, should be particular to buy only the edition translated by LUIGI MONTI, and with the sanction of Harvard University, as it is the only genuine legitimate edition in the English language.

An unexpected and much larger demand for this work than we have anticipated, has entirely exhausted our first FOUR editions, and we have THIS DAY put to press a FIFTH Edition, and Booksellers will do well to send on their orders, without delay, before we are again out of print.

Combining with the most laborious and patient research a philosophical mind, an acute analysis, an unlimited power of condensation, a clear statement of principles, and a fresh and per spicuous style, he has made a book of extraordinary merit, evincing extraordinary mental ability, and destined to hold in legal bibliography an extraordinary rank."-S. Louis Republican.

TO BOOKSELLERS AND OTHERS.

THE STEREOSCOPE.

In addition to the many duties which the sun has faithfully and punctually performed for 6000 years or so, he has lately given attention to the fine arts. Since M. Daguerre, Prof. Draper, and others, have placed the painter's pencil in his hand, and employed him in taking "warranted likenesses, or the money returned," we have learned to look upon the centre of our solar system as something besides a mere warning apparatus for our lady mother the earth, and our respect is proportionably increased for the versatility of his talent, by discovering that he has extended his sphere in the domain of art, and wields the sculptor's chisel with a skill that may make Powers hang his head (and perhaps, his body) in very despair.

Most people would like to see a correct representation of St. Peter's, the Cathedral of Strasbourg, Westminster Abbey, Mont Blanc, the Venus de Medici, Apollo Belvidere, the Leaning Tower of Pisa; Queen Victoria, the Imperial Baby, and the Bunker Hill Monument; and though the Daguerreotype be not so high a manifestation of art as would meet the approval of Mr. Ruskin, not a few would prefer its minute exactness to any more poetical imagery. If this may be taken as popular sentiment, how much better pleased would the public eye be with not only a representation of such and such like objects as accurately as they can be conveyed upon a plane surface, but with a perfectly correct miniature MODEL, in which all the parts are reproduced in their exact proportions, preserving their proper relative distances, and bearing the same relation to the daguerreotype or photograph as the living group of the Siddons family would to Harlow's picture of "The Tryal of Queen Katherine." And yet by the perfected Stereoscope this most wonderful wonder is accomplished.

It has not escaped pretty general observation that animated creation, for the most part, enjoys the possession of duplicate eyes; and it has been shrewdly suggested that the especial purpose of this provision is, that a sharp look out may be kept without dangerously twisting the neck. Without entering into any scientific investigation into the laws of optics, we may remark that each eye is capable of receiving and communicating impressions independently to the brain. If we look at a horse with the left eye alone, or with the right eye alone, or with both eyes together, he is still a horse. If we look at a daguerreotype in the same manner, it still remains a daguerreotype. We hope all our readers understand thoroughly the beautiful distinction between monocular and binocular views, more particularly as we don't. At any rate, it may be taken for granted that there is a difference, which is all-sufficient for present purposes. By the binocular or two-eyed view, a very singular and remarkable effect can be produced. If two exactly similar daguerreotypes of the samne object be taken and looked at simultaneously, one by each eye, all idea or appearance of plane surface is dispelled, and instead of a picture we see a reduced copy of the thing itself, with its accessories, in all their relations as solid objects. Thus, in looking at daguerreotypes of St. Peter's in this manner, we would see a miniature of that edifice, not in relief, but a perfect and wonderful illusion of the church itself, within the dimensions of a walnut. By the same method we may see a carved statue, in little, of the Greek Slave, or a model of Mont Blanc, or of anything else. A group of persons is produced with all the fidelity of outline given by the daguerreotype, but without the slightest appearance of being a picture. A box, a tree, a road, does not convey the idea of shape or dimensions by means of the distribution of light and shade, foreshortening, adjustment of outline, or relations of size, but becomes a small box, a small tree, or a small road, not seeming to be a large box or tree diminished by distance, but a small box or tree, near by, to be touched and played with, and be broken like children's toys. This idea of solidity is the basis of the name given to the apparatus by means of which these effects are produced; and the Stereoscope invented by Prof. Wheatstone, and modified and perfected by Sir David Brewster, may be briefly described as a box to hold two pictures placed opposite two tubes containing refracting lenses to which the eyes are adjusted.—American Publishers' Circular, Sept. 13th, 1856.

These views not only have very great interest as curiosities, but also as representing exactly, in a manner of which the best picture can give no idea, scenes the grandest in nature, and works of art, the highest manifestations of human taste and skill. They have proved to be very saleable, yielding a handsome profit, occupying but little room, and peculiarly appropriate for sale in Bookstores. A small outlay will be sufficient to procure sufficient stock for experiment, as the cost of views and machinery varies greatly.

MESSRS. RUDD & CARLETON-GENTLEMEN: Your ardor in the rivalry STANDARD SCHOOL BOOKS

which exists between your edition of BEATRICE CENCI, and Mrs. WATTS SHERMAN'S translation of the same work published by us, has led you into some awkward indiscretions in your announcements. For instance:

1. You charge Mrs. Sherman's translation (this being the only other than that you publish) with being "incomplete, mutilated and imperfect," and claim that your edition is "the only complete, unabridged edition." Now, you well know that your translation omits, at least, one entire chapter, and large portions of other chapters: that, in fact, your edition contains hardly more than three quarters of Guerrazzi's original work. Mrs. Sherman's edition you have never seen, and therefore the charge against it is quite gratuitous on your part. The fact is, her translation is complete, containing the parts omitted in your edition, and requiring about 760 pages, whereas yours is contained in 562 similar pages. Perhaps you will resort to a feeble attempt to palliate your "mistakes" in these asser tions by saying that all the parts of Mrs. Sherman's translation were not published at the time you wrote your advertisements. This would be a mere quibble, and a poor one at

that.

2. You charge us with "notoriously violating trade etiquette" in publishing Mrs. Sherman's edition. The circumstances are these: Mrs. Sherman's translation was com menced in Rome three years since, and we have it from your own mouth that you knew at that time that it was in progress; yet it is but a few months since you first heard of the translation you are now publishing. If "etiquette" is violated, who then are its violators? Not we, certainly.

3. You announce your edition as published "with the sanction of Harvard University." Now, Harvard University is a very celebrated and time-honored college, and in a very dif. ferent line of business from publishing or sanctioning novels. It is impossible that Harvard University ever sanctioned your edition of Beatrice Cenci; or any other, for that

matter.

These are sufficient for the present, and these we term "awkward indiscretions," for, do you not see that after detecting you in such curious "mistakes" in these matters of fact, as the public cannot help doing, they will very naturally infer that other of your assertions are also mistakes, as, for instance, that you "have sold four editions in two weeks," that your edition has met with "unparalleled success; " that it is "the book of the age," &c., &c.

"Honesty is the best policy." We admire your enterprise. But then, how much better it would be not to make such transparent "mistakes" as these!

In the preparation of the "Primary " and " Second Reader," it has been the endeavor of the author to adapt them to the use of the youngest children in our schools, by avoiding the use of words or expressions beyond the capacity of childhood.

In the more advanced numbers, the author has given the greatest variety of subject and style, having in view its adaptation to the grade of scholarship for which it is designed. The several numbers are progressive. The selections have been made with a view to their having a tendency to promote the cause and practice of virtue and piety, and to teach a natural, easy, and flowing style of delivery.

It is believed that it is the first and only series of School Geographics that is at once practical, systematic, and complete, philosophical in its arrangement, and progressive in its development of the subject. Beginning with elementary principles, the pupil is led by gradual, natural, and pleasant steps, to a thorough and intelligent mastery of the science.

THE PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY contains only those branches of Geographical science that admit of being brought fully within the comprehension of the youthful beginner. Commencing at the foundation of the science, its object is to make the pupil thoroughly acquainted with the local and relative position of the grand divisions of the earth, the 1-ading political divisions, and the principal capital cities. The work is illustrated with upward of seventy beautiful and appropriate designs, among which will be found representations of an island, a peninsula, an isthmus, a cape, a mountain chain, a sea a bay, a strait, a lake a river. etc., and also views of the most important cities in the world. A Pronounc ing Vocabulary, containing the names of all the natural and political divisions used throughout the work, is appended.

THE INTERMEDIATE GEOGRAPHY possesses all the advantages of arrangement and system peculiar to the first book of the series. It clearly explains the terms used in Physical, Political, and Mathematical Geography, and contains a judiciously sel cted and carefully systematized amount of Descriptive Geography. It is also illustrated with a large number of well executed wood-cuts. In clearness and beauty of execution, the maps will be found equal, if not superior, to any similar ones extant. This work also embraces a Pronouncing Vocabulary of the geographical names contained in it, giving the population of places, the length of rivers, etc.

THE HIGH SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY is an unusually attractive volume, illustrated with over one hundred exquisitely executed engravings made expressly for this work. This work is arranged on the true inductive system, proceeding by natural and gradual advances from deduction to deduction, and from step to step, until the whole ground is covered. It includes Mathematical Geography," Physical Geography;" also, Directions for the use of Gloves, with numerous problems on them. Also, a Glossary of Geographical Names.
