_From the Committee of the Choir of Yale College._
“Sir,—We have been using for some time past your new
publication in the choir with which we are connected. We take
pleasure in stating to you our entire satisfaction with the
manner in which it has been compiled and harmonized, and would
willingly recommend it to any of the associations desiring a
collection of Sacred Music of a sterling character and original
matter. The melodies are quite varied and of an unusually
pleasing character; and uniting, as they do, the devotional
with the pleasing, we have no hesitation in giving them our
preference to any other collection of a similar character at
present in use among the churches.”
_From Three Leaders of Choirs._
“Mr. George Kingsley.
“Sir—We have examined the ‘Sacred Choir’ enough to lead us to
appreciate the work as the best publication of Sacred Music
extant. It is beautifully printed and substantially bound,
conferring credit on the publishers. We bespeak for the ‘Sacred
Music Choir’ an extensive circulation.
Sincerely yours,
“O. S. Bowdoin.

English and American.
D. APPLETON &, Co.
Beg leave to invite the attention of their Friends and the Public
generally, to their Choice and Unique Assortment of the most important
Works that emanate from the English and American Press.
Their Establishment is distinguished by its large collection of Standard
Works in the several departments of THEOLOGY, CIVIL AND ECCLESIASTICAL
HISTORY, POETRY, NATURAL AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY, ARCHITECTURE AND
ENGINEERING, GENERAL BIOGRAPHY, VOYAGES AND TRAVELS, FINE ARTS, CLASSICAL
and GENERAL LITERATURE.

Barrow, Hooker, Ben Jonson, Mussinger and Ford, Beaumont and Fletcher,
Shakspeare, Froissart, Monstrelet, Doddridge, Baxter, Owen, Strype,
Bloomfield, Cranmer, Butler, Cave, Berkeley, Adams, Greenhill, Donne
South, Hume and Smollett, Gibbon, Robertson, Locke, Lardner, Leslie,
Hurd, Porteus, John Scott, Skelton, Sherlocke, Warburton, Chillingworth,

Spencer, Warton, Fuller, Lamb, Hazlitt, Coleridge, Shelley, Bingham,
Graves, Beveridge, Wycherley, Congreve, Vanbrugh, Farquhar, and others,
too numerous to mention, always for sale on favourable terms.
AMERICAN BOOKS.
Their Assortment of “Modern American Publications” is now very complete,
comprising the most Valuable and Approved
WORKS IN THEOLOGICAL AND MISCELLANEOUS LITERATURE,
TO WHICH ADDITIONS ARE CONSTANTLY BEING ADDED.
School Books in every variety.
Country Merchants supplied on the most favourable terms.
IMPORTATION OF EUROPEAN BOOKS.
D. APPLETON & Co.
Beg to inform Literary and Scientific Gentlemen, and the Public
generally, that they have recently made extensive arrangements for
the increase of their business, through the senior partner of their
firm, (now resident in England,) connected with the establishment of a
permanent London Agency for the purchase and supply of European Books,
to be conducted by one of their house, who will devote his personal
attention to the execution of all orders transmitted them, with the
utmost promptitude and despatch.
They are induced to take this step from a conviction of its important
utility to the literary interests of this country, derived from
their long experience in business; and they flatter themselves that
this arrangement will place them in the most favourable position for
making purchases in the British and Continental Book Markets; while by
restricting their business simply to an Agency for the purchase of Books,
they will enjoy all the advantages accorded by the custom of the London
Trade when books are bought for exportation to a foreign country, but
which are rigorously withheld from any establishment engaged in the sale
of books on the spot.
It will be their aim to merit the patronage of the public by furnishing
books at the lowest possible price, and the constant attention of a
member of their Firm, personally acquainted with the British and Foreign
Book Trade, will secure the speedy execution of all orders entrusted to
their care.
TERMS.—Colleges, Theological Seminaries, and Incorporated Institutions
generally, may have their orders executed, to any amount, free of duty,
on a charge of Ten per cent. Commission—the Goods to be paid for on their
arrival at New-York—without any advance of cash required.
From Gentlemen, and Private Individuals, (when they are not known to D.
A. & Co.) an advance of one half the probable cost of the order will
be required; the balance to be settled on the arrival of the Books at
New-York. A Commission of Ten per cent. being charged.
