INDIAN LIVES; or, an Historical Account of those Individuals who have been distinguished among the North American Natives as Orators, Warriors, Statesmen, &c. By B. B. THATCHER, Esq. In 2 vols.

"The author has spared no pains in making himself acquainted with the proper materials for a work of this character; and their arrangement reflects much credit on him."-N. E. Christian Herald.

"We like these volumes well. They are written with a perspicuity and liveliness that recommend them to all. Mr. Thatcher has ably filled up a chasm in American literature. These two volumes blend the authenticity of history with the thrilling excitements of forest narratives, descriptive of the native energy and grandeur of the old free kings, who ruled the new-found America."--Badger's Weekly Messenger.

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNT OF BRITISH INDIA. From the most remote period to the present time. By several popular Authors. In 3 vols. With a Map, and many Engravings on Wood.

"We know of no other work or treatise whch has compressed, within the same compass, so much useful and various matter upon the many subjects falling within the range of the investigation."-Com. Advertiser.

THE HISTORY OF IRELAND. By W. C. TAYLOR, Esq. With Additions, by WILLIAM SAMPSON, Esq. In 2 vols. Plates.

"This is a calm, clear, and a candid book....A sober and dispassionate book on this tender subject was much wanted... Mr. Taylor has performed his melancholy task with no ungentle spirit, and written the most consistent narrative of those events that we have yet seen.... The work abounds with pictures of war and desolation-of happiness and prosperity of sudden elevations and sad overthrows; if there is much violence and wrong, there is also much nobleness of mind, generosity of nature, and gentleness of heart "-The Atheneum.

THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON; or, Adventures of a Father and Mother and four Sons on a desert Island. From the seventh London Edition, greatly improved. In two vols. 18mo. [Nos. II. & III. of the BOY'S AND GIRL'S LIBRARY.]

"We do not think a parent could select a more accept able or judicious_Christmas or New Year's gift."-New Haven Religious Intelligencer.

"Well calculated to claim the attention of the interesting part of the community to which it is addressed."-N. Y. Advocate and Journal.

"We cordially recommend these little volumes to those for whom they are designed."-Atlas.

"A treasure for children which parents cannot over-esti mate."-Albany Evening Journal.

"We recommend this work to parents as well calculated to attract the attention of the young, and to convey to their minds great and important truths in morals, history, and the sciences."-Troy Budget.

"The contents are of a character that cannot fail to interest, amuse, and instruct the class of readers for whom it is designed."—R. I. American.

"This little work is so much of a story, that it will seem a relaxation rather than a school-task, and at the same time it will give the juvenile reader more practical instruction in natural history, economy, and the means of contriving and helping one's self, than many books of the very best pretensions in the department of instruction."-Boston Daily Advocate.

"Parents would do well to place these volumes in the hands of their children."-N. Y. Mercantile Advertiser.

“A work of infinite merit."-Literary Subaltern, Prov.
