The Errors of Modern Infidelity Illustrated and Refuted.
BY S.M. SCHMUCKER, A.M.
In one volume, 12mo.; cloth. Just published.
We cannot but regard this work, in whatever light we view it in reference
to its design, as one of the most masterly productions of the age, and
fitted to uproot one of the most fondly cherished and dangerous of all
ancient or modern errors. God must bless such a work, armed with his own
truth, and doing fierce and successful battle against black infidelity,
which would bring His Majesty and Word down to the tribunal of human
reason, for condemnation and annihilation.--_Alb. Spectator_

"This very interesting and instructive collection of pleasing and solemn
remembrances of many pious men, illustrates the character of the day in
which they lived, and defines the men more clearly than very elaborate

JOSEPHUS'S (FLAVIUS) WORKS,
FAMILY EDITION.
BY THE LATE WILLIAM WHISTON, A.M.
FROM THE LAST LONDON EDITION, COMPLETE.
One volume, beautifully illustrated with Steel Plates, and the only
readable edition published in this country.
As a matter of course, every family in our country has a copy of the Holy
Bible; and as the presumption is that the greater portion often consult its
pages, we take the liberty of saying to all those that do, that the perusal
of the writings of Josephus will be found very interesting and instructive.
All those who wish to possess a beautiful and correct copy of this valuable
work, would do well to purchase this edition. It is for sale at all the
principal bookstores in the United States, and by country merchants
generally in the Southern and Western States.
Also, the above work in two volumes.

BURDER'S VILLAGE SERMONS;
Or, 101 Plain and Short Discourses on the Principal Doctrines of the
Gospel.
INTENDED FOR THE USE OF FAMILIES, SUNDAY-SCHOOLS, OR COMPANIES ASSEMBLED
FOR RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN COUNTRY VILLAGES.
BY GEORGE BURDER.
To which is added to each Sermon, a Short Prayer, with some General Prayers
for Families, Schools. &c., at the end of the work.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO.
These sermons, which are characterized by a beautiful simplicity, the
entire absence of controversy, and a true evangelical spirit, have gone
through many and large editions, and been translated into several of the
continental languages. "They have also been the honoured means not only of
converting many individuals, but also of introducing the Gospel into
districts, and even into parish Churches, where before it was comparatively
unknown."
"This work fully deserves the immortality it has attained."
This is a fine library edition of this invaluable work: and when we say
that it should be found in the possession of every family, we only
reiterate the sentiments and sincere wishes of all who take a deep interest
in the eternal welfare of mankind.

SPLENDID LIBRARY EDITIONS.
ILLUSTRATED STANDARD POETS.
ELEGANTLY PRINTED, ON FINE PAPER, AND UNIFORM IN SIZE AND STYLE.
The following Editions of Standard British Poets are illustrated with
numerous Steel Engravings, and may be had in all varieties of binding.
BYRON'S WORKS.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO.
INCLUDING ALL HIS SUPPRESSED AND ATTRIBUTED POEMS; WITH SIX BEAUTIFUL
ENGRAVINGS.
This edition has been carefully compared with the recent London edition of
Mr. Murray, and made complete by the addition of more than fifty pages of
poems heretofore unpublished in England. Among these there are a number
that have never appeared in any American edition; and the publishers
believe they are warranted in saying that this is _the most complete
edition of Lord Byron's Poetical Works_ ever published in the United
States.
THE POETICAL WORKS OF MRS. HEMANS.
Complete in one volume, octavo; with seven beautiful Engravings.
This is a new and complete edition, with a splendid engraved likeness of
Mrs. Hemans, on steel, and contains all the Poems in the last London and
American editions. With a Critical Preface by Mr. Thatcher, of Boston.
"As no work in the English language can be commended with more confidence,
it will argue bad taste in a female in this country to be without a
complete edition of the writings of one who was an honour to her sex and to
humanity, and whose productions, from first to last, contain no syllable
calculated to call a blush to the cheek of modesty and virtue. There is,
moreover, in Mrs. Hemans's poetry, a moral purity and a religious feeling
which commend it, in an especial manner, to the discriminating reader. No
parent or guardian will be under the necessity of imposing restrictions
with regard to the free perusal of every production emanating from this
gifted woman. There breathes throughout the whole a most eminent exemption
from impropriety of thought or diction; and there is at times a pensiveness
of tone, a winning sadness in her more serious compositions, which tells of
a soul which has been lifted from the contemplation of terrestrial things,
to divine communings with beings of a purer world."
MILTON, YOUNG, GRAY, BEATTIE, AND COLLINS'S POETICAL WORKS.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO.
WITH SIX BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS.
COWPER AND THOMSON'S PROSE AND POETICAL WORKS.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO.
Including two hundred and fifty Letters, and sundry Poems of Cowper, never
before published in this country; and of Thomson a new and interesting
Memoir, and upwards of twenty new Poems, for the first time printed from
his own Manuscripts, taken from a late Edition of the Aldine Poets, now
publishing in London.
WITH SEVEN BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS.
The distinguished Professor Silliman, speaking of this edition, observes:
"I am as much gratified by the elegance and fine taste of your edition, as
by the noble tribute of genius and moral excellence which these delightful
authors have left for all future generations; and Cowper, especially, is
not less conspicuous as a true Christian, moralist and teacher, than as a
poet of great power and exquisite taste."
* * * * *
THE POETICAL WORKS OF ROGERS, CAMPBELL, MONTGOMERY, LAMB, AND KIRKE WHITE.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO.
WITH SIX BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS.
The beauty, correctness, and convenience of this favourite edition of these
standard authors are so well known, that it is scarcely necessary to add a
word in its favour. It is only necessary to say, that the publishers have
now issued an illustrated edition, which greatly enhances its former value.
The engravings are excellent and well selected. It is the best library
edition extant.
CRABBE, HEBER, AND POLLOK'S POETICAL WORKS.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO.
WITH SIX BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS.
A writer in the Boston Traveller holds the following language with
reference to these valuable editions:--
"Mr. Editor:--I wish, without any idea of puffing, to say a word or two
upon the 'Library of English Poets' that is now published at Philadelphia,
by Lippincott, Grambo & Co. It is certainly, taking into consideration the
elegant manner in which it is printed, and the reasonable price at which it
is afforded to purchasers, the best edition of the modern British Poets
that has ever been published in this country. Each volume is an octavo of
about 500 pages, double columns, stereotyped, and accompanied with fine
engravings and biographical sketches; and most of them are reprinted from
Galignani's French edition. As to its value, we need only mention that it
contains the entire works of Montgomery, Gray, Beattie, Collins, Byron,
Cowper, Thomson, Milton, Young, Rogers, Campbell, Lamb, Hemans, Heber,
Kirke White, Crabbe, the Miscellaneous Works of Goldsmith, and other
masters of the lyre. The publishers are doing a great service by their
publication, and their volumes are almost in as great demand as the
fashionable novels of the day; and they deserve to be so: for they are
certainly printed in a style superior to that in which we have before had
the works of the English Poets."
No library can be considered complete without a copy of the above beautiful
and cheap editions of the English Poets; and persons ordering all or any of
them, will please say Lippincott, Grambo & Co.'s illustrated editions.

A COMPLETE
Dictionary of Poetical Quotations:
COMPRISING THE MOST EXCELLENT AND APPROPRIATE PASSAGES IN THE OLD BRITISH
POETS; WITH CHOICE AND COPIOUS SELECTIONS FROM THE BEST MODERN BRITISH AND
AMERICAN POETS.
EDITED BY SARAH JOSEPHA HALE.
As nightingales do upon glow-worms feed,
So poets live upon the living light
Of Nature and of Beauty.
_Bailey's Festus._
Beautifully illustrated with Engravings. In one super-royal octavo volume,
in various bindings.
The publishers extract, from the many highly complimentary notices of the
above valuable and beautiful work, the following:
"We have at last a volume of Poetical Quotations worthy of the name. It
contains nearly six hundred octavo pages, carefully and tastefully selected
from all the home and foreign authors of celebrity. It is invaluable to a
writer, while to the ordinary reader it presents every subject at a
glance.--_Godey's Lady's Book_.
"The plan or idea of Mrs. Hale's work is felicitous. It is one for which
her fine taste, her orderly habits of mind, and her long occupation with
literature, has given her peculiar facilities; and thoroughly has she
accomplished her task in the work before us."--_Sartain's Magazine_.
"It is a choice collection of poetical extracts from every English and
American author worth perusing, from the days of Chaucer to the present
time."--_Washington Union_.
"There is nothing negative about this work; it is _positively_
good."--_Evening Bulletin_.
* * * * *
THE DIAMOND EDITION OF BYRON.
THE POETICAL WORKS OF LORD BYRON,
WITH A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
COMPLETE IN ONE NEAT DUODECIMO VOLUME, WITH STEEL PLATES.
The type of this edition is so perfect, and it is printed with so much
care, on fine white paper, that it can be read with as much ease as most of
the larger editions. This work is to be had in plain and superb binding,
making a beautiful volume for a gift.
"_The Poetical Works of Lord Byron_, complete in one volume; published by
L., G. & Co., Philadelphia. We hazard nothing in saying that, take it
altogether, this is the most elegant work ever issued from the American
press.
"'In a single volume, not larger than an ordinary duodecimo, the publishers
have embraced the whole of Lord Byron's Poems, usually printed in ten or
twelve volumes; and, what is more remarkable, have done it with a type so
clear and distinct, that, notwithstanding its necessarily small size, it
may be read with the utmost facility, even by failing eyes. The book is
stereotyped; and never have we seen a finer specimen of that art.
Everything about it is perfect--the paper, the printing, the binding, all
correspond with each other; and it is embellished with two fine engravings,
well worthy the companionship in which they are placed.
"'This will make a beautiful Christmas present.'
"We extract the above from Godey's Lady's Book. The notice itself, we are
given to understand, is written by Mrs. Hale.
"We have to add our commendation in favour of this beautiful volume, a copy
of which has been sent us by the publishers. The admirers of the noble bard
will feel obliged to the enterprise which has prompted the publishers to
dare a competition with the numerous editions of his works already in
circulation; and we shall be surprised if this convenient travelling
edition does not in a great degree supersede the use of the large octavo
works, which have little advantage in size and openness of type, and are
much inferior in the qualities of portability and
lightness."--_Intelligencer_.
* * * * *
THE DIAMOND EDITION OF MOORE.
(CORRESPONDING WITH BYRON.)
THE POETICAL WORKS OF THOMAS MOORE,
COLLECTED BY HIMSELF.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME.

and is the most complete printed in the country.
* * * * *
THE DIAMOND EDITION OF SHAKSPEARE,
(COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME,)
INCLUDING A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
UNIFORM WITH BYRON AND MOORE.
THE ABOVE WORKS CAN BE HAD IN SEVERAL VARIETIES OF BINDING.

GOLDSMITH'S ANIMATED NATURE.
IN TWO VOLUMES, OCTAVO.
BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH 385 PLATES.
CONTAINING A HISTORY OF THE EARTH, ANIMALS, BIRDS, AND FISHES; FORMING THE
MOST COMPLETE NATURAL HISTORY EVER PUBLISHED.
This is a work that should be in the library of every family, having been
written by one of the most talented authors in the English language.
"Goldsmith can never be made obsolete while delicate genius, exquisite
feeling, fine invention, the most harmonious metre, and the happiest
diction, are at all valued."

BY THOMAS M. SMITH,
Veterinary Surgeon, and Member of the London Veterinary Medical Society.
WITH A SUPPLEMENT, BY J.S. SKINNER.
The publishers have received numerous flattering notices of the great
practical value of these works. The distinguished editor of the American
Farmer, speaking of them, observes:--"We cannot too highly recommend these
books, and therefore advise every owner of a horse to obtain them."
"There are receipts in those books that show how _Founder_ may be cured,
and the traveller pursue his journey the next day, by giving a _tablespoon
of alum_. This was got from Dr. P. Thornton, of Montpelier, Rappahannock
county, Virginia, as founded on his own observation in several cases."
"The constant demand for Mason's and Hinds's Farrier has induced the
publishers, Messrs. Lippincott, Grambo & Co., to put forth new editions,
with a 'Supplement' of 100 pages by J.S. Skinner, Esq. We should have
sought to render an acceptable service to our agricultural readers, by
giving a chapter from the Supplement, 'On the Relations between Man and the
Domestic Animals, especially the Horse, and the Obligations they impose;'
or the one on 'The Form of Animals;' but that either one of them would
overrun the space here allotted to such subjects."
"Lists of Medicines, and other articles which ought to be at hand about
every training and livery stable, and every Farmer's and Breeder's
establishment, will be found in these valuable works."

A DICTIONARY OF SELECT AND POPULAR QUOTATIONS, WHICH ARE IN DAILY USE.
TAKEN FROM THE LATIN, FRENCH, GREEK, SPANISH AND ITALIAN LANGUAGES.
Together with a copious Collection of Law Maxims and Law Terms, translated
into English, with Illustrations, Historical and Idiomatic.
NEW AMERICAN EDITION, CORRECTED, WITH ADDITIONS.
One volume, 12mo.
This volume comprises a copious collection of legal and other terms which
are in common use, with English translations and historical illustrations;
and we should judge its author had surely been to a great "Feast of
Languages," and stole all the scraps. A work of this character should have
an extensive sale, as it entirely obviates a serious difficulty in which
most readers are involved by the frequent occurrence of Latin, Greek, and
French passages, which we suppose are introduced by authors for a mere show
of learning--a difficulty very perplexing to readers in general. This
"Dictionary of Quotations," concerning which too much cannot be said in its
favour, effectually removes the difficulty, and gives the reader an
advantage over the author; for we believe a majority are themselves
ignorant of the meaning of the terms they employ. Very few truly learned
authors will insult their readers by introducing Latin or French quotations
in their writings, when "plain English" will do as well; but we will not
enlarge on this point.
If the book is useful to those unacquainted with other languages, it is no
less valuable to the classically educated as a book of reference, and
answers all the purposes of a Lexicon--indeed, on many accounts, it is
better. It saves the trouble of tumbling over the larger volumes, to which
every one, and especially those engaged in the legal profession, are very
often subjected. It should have a place in every library in the country.

Or, The Production, Distribution and Consumption of Wealth.
BY JEAN BAPTISTE SAY.
FIFTH AMERICAN EDITION, WITH ADDITIONAL NOTES, BY C.C. BIDDLE,
ESQ.
In one volume, octavo.
It would be beneficial to our country if all those who are aspiring to
office, were required by their constituents to be familiar with the pages
of Say.
The distinguished biographer of the author, in noticing this work,
observes: "Happily for science, he commenced that study which forms the
basis of his admirable Treatise on _Political Economy_; a work which not
only improved under his hand with every successive edition, but has been
translated into most of the European languages."
The Editor of the North American Review, speaking of Say, observes, that
"he is the most popular, and perhaps the most able writer on Political
Economy, since the time of Smith."

LAURENCE STERNE'S WORKS,
WITH A LIFE OF THE AUTHOR:
WRITTEN BY HIMSELF.
WITH SEVEN BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS, ENGRAVED BY GILBERT AND GIHON, FROM
DESIGNS BY DARLEY.
One volume, octavo; cloth, gilt.
To commend or to criticise Sterne's Works, in this age of the world, would
be all "wasteful and extravagant excess." Uncle Toby--Corporal Trim--the
Widow--Le Fevre--Poor Maria--the Captive--even the Dead Ass,--this is all
we have to say of Sterne; and in the memory of these characters, histories,
and sketches, a thousand follies and worse than follies are forgotten. The
volume is a very handsome one.

MONEY-BAGS AND TITLES:
A HIT AT THE FOLLIES OF THE AGE.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH OF JULES SANDEAU.
BY LEONARD MYERS.
One volume, 12mo.
"'_Money-Bags and Titles_' is quite a remarkable work, amounts to a kindly
exposure of the folly of human pride, and also presents at once the evil
and the remedy. If good-natured ridicule of the impostures practised by a
set of self-styled reformers, who have nothing to lose, and to whom change
must be gain--if, in short, a delineation of the mistaken ideas which
prevent, and the means which conduce to happiness, be traits deserving of
commendation,--the reader will find much to enlist his attention and win
his approbation in the pages of this unpretending, but truly meritorious
publication."

HAW-HO-NOO:
OR, THE RECORDS OF A TOURIST.
BY CHARLES LANMAN,
Author of "A Summer in the Wilderness," &c. In one volume, 12mo.
"In the present book, '_Haw-ho-noo_,' (an Indian name, by the way, for
America,) the author has gathered up some of the relics of his former
tours, and added to them other interesting matter. It contains a number of
carefully written and instructive articles upon the various kinds of fish
in our country, whose capture affords sport for anglers; reminiscences of
unique incidents, manners, and customs in different parts of the country;
and other articles, narrative, descriptive, and sentimental. In a
supplement are gathered many curious Indian legends. They are related with
great simplicity and clearness, and will be of service hereafter to the
poem makers of America. Many of them are quite beautiful."--_National
Intelligencer_.

LONZ POWERS; Or, The Regulators.
A ROMANCE OF KENTUCKY.
FOUNDED ON FACTS.
BY JAMES WEIR, ESQ.
IN TWO VOLUMES.
The scenes, characters, and incidents in these volumes have been copied
from nature, and from real life. They are represented as taking place at
that period in the history of Kentucky, when the Indian, driven, after many
a hard-fought field, from his favourite hunting-ground, was succeeded by a
rude and unlettered population, interspersed with organized bands of
desperadoes, scarcely less savage than the red men they had displaced. The
author possesses a vigorous and graphic pen, and has produced a very
interesting romance, which gives us a striking portrait of the times he
describes.

BY LUKE SHORTFIELD, A WESTERN MERCHANT.
One volume, 12mo.
This is a new work, and will be found very interesting to the Country

A sprightly, pleasant book, with a vast amount of information in a very
agreeable shape. Business, Love, and Religion are all discussed, and many

summed up in the following concluding sentences: "Adhere steadfastly to
your business; adhere steadfastly to your first love; adhere steadfastly to
the church."

usefulness."

NEW SONG-BOOK.
Grigg's Southern and Western Songster;
BEING A CHOICE COLLECTION OF THE MOST FASHIONABLE SONGS, MANY OF WHICH ARE
ORIGINAL.
In one volume, 18mo.
Great care was taken, in the selection, to admit no song that contained, in
the slightest degree, any indelicate or improper allusions; and with great
propriety it may claim the title of "The Parlour Song-Book, or Songster."

"The man that hath not music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils."

WITH A LIKENESS OF THE OLD HERO.
One volume, 18mo.
* * * * *
LIFE OF PAUL JONES.
In one volume, 12mo.
WITH ONE HUNDRED ILLUSTRATIONS
BY JAMES HAMILTON.
The work is compiled from his original journals and correspondence, and
includes an account of his services in the American Revolution, and in the
war between the Russians and Turks in the Black Sea. There is scarcely any
Naval Hero, of any age, who combined in his character so much of the
adventurous, skilful and daring, as Paul Jones. The incidents of his Life
are almost as startling and absorbing as those of romance. His achievements
during the American Revolution--the fight between the Bon Homme Richard and
Serapis, the most desperate naval action on record--and the alarm into
which, with so small a force, he threw the coasts of England and
Scotland--are matters comparatively well known to Americans; but the
incidents of his subsequent career have been veiled in obscurity, which is
dissipated by this biography. A book like this, narrating the actions of
such a man, ought to meet with an extensive sale, and become as popular as
Robinson Crusoe in fiction, or Weems's Life of Marion and Washington, and
similar books, in fact. It contains 400 pages, has a handsome portrait and
medallion likeness of Jones, and is illustrated with numerous original wood
engravings of naval scenes and distinguished men with whom he was familiar.

by Darley.
In one handsome 12mo. volume.
"It is by far the fullest and most interesting biography of General Taylor
that we have ever seen."--_Richmond (Whig) Chronicle_.
"On the whole, we are satisfied that this volume is the most correct and
comprehensive one yet published."--_Hunt's Merchants' Magazine_.
"The superiority of this edition over the ephemeral publications of the day
consists in fuller and more authentic accounts of his family, his early
life, and Indian wars. The narrative of his proceedings in Mexico is drawn
partly from reliable private letters, but chiefly from his own official
correspondence."
"It forms a cheap, substantial, and attractive volume, and one which should
be read at the fireside of every family who desire a faithful and true life
of the Old General."

WILLIAMS'S TRAVELLER'S AND TOURIST'S GUIDE
Through the United States, Canada, &c.
This book will be found replete with information, not only to the
traveller, but likewise to the man of business. In its preparation, an
entirely new plan has been adopted, which, we are convinced, needs only a
trial to be fully appreciated.
Among its many valuable features, are tables showing at a glance the
_distance_, _fare_, and _time_ occupied in travelling from the principal
cities to the most important places in the Union; so that the question
frequently asked, without obtaining a satisfactory reply, is here answered
in full. Other tables show the distances from New York, &c., to domestic
and foreign ports, by sea; and also, by way of comparison, from New York
and Liverpool to the principal ports beyond and around Cape Horn, &c., as
well as _via_ the Isthmus of Panama. Accompanied by a large and accurate
Map of the United States, including a separate Map of California, Oregon,
New Mexico and Utah. Also, a Map of the Island of Cuba, and Plan of the
City and Harbor of Havana; and a Map of Niagara River and Falls.
* * * * *

U.S. Congress. Designed to economise time, secure uniformity and despatch
in conducting business in all secular meetings, and also in all religious,
political, and Legislative Assemblies.
