parent throughout our country, who has the temporal and eternal interest of his offspring at heart. The few and leading maxims of the Christian Religion are plainly and practically enforced, and the parent's duties are descanted in a train of pure and beautiful eloquence, which a father's mind, elevated by religion, only could have dictated. We believe that a general knowledge of this little volume would be attended with consequences beneficial to society, since a practice of its recommendations could scarcely be refused to its solemn and affectionate spirit of entreaty.

PLEASURE AND PROFIT, OR TIME WELL SPENT, being the first volume of a series.

Edited by UNCLE ARTHUR. 18mo. Steel plate frontispiece. Price 371⁄2 cents.

Says the New-York Evangelist

PLEASURE AND PROFIT, OR TIME WELL SPENT.- We have before us the first of a series of volumes just commenced by our young friends, Taylor & Gould, booksellers. The present volume contains a pleasing fancy sketch, called "the Museum; by Charlotte Elizabeth; edited by Uncle Arthur." We suspect that Uncle Arthur is the name adopted by a gentleman whose real name would give currency to almost any thing. He and his brothers have a happy faculty not only to make excellent books, but also to edit (or, as we say in plain English, make over) the books written by other people, so as to render them more entertaining, less erroneous, more safe, and far more useful. We have tried this little book, by putting it into the hands of a "juvenile reader,” and find it to answer very well. The sentiments are correct, the feeling good, the style pleasing, the price reasonable.

From the Commercial Advertiser.

PLEASURE AND Profit, or Time well spent.-Vol. I. The Museum; by Charlotte Elizabeth; edited by Uncle Arthur. Taylor & Gould.

If attractive binding, paper, print and subject, can render a little book the favorite of children, this will be quite popular among them. It purports to be an account of a visit to the Museum, and the different objects are explained in an easy manner, in the form of dialogue. Religious knowledge is judiciously blended with instruction throughout.
