COLLIER, & CO. PUBLISH ALSO THE FOLLOWING BOOKS. THE TREE AND ITS FRUITS from the pen of Mrs. P. H. Brown. Its contents are as follows: The Reading Club, The Victim, The Infidel, The Aged Cottager-all of which are founded on fact. To one who has read the volume in question, nothing need be said of its merit; to those who have not perused the same, it need only be said that it is from the pen of Mrs. Brown, a lady who has dictated poetry and prose of no ordinary kind; whose deep toned piety has awakened in many hearts glad thoughts of heaven and of God, and many times given impetus and strength to the worshippers of the Most High in the great congregation, the social circle, and the Christian in the more private walks of life. It is manifestly written by one who has strictly in view the welfare of souls, and a particular regard for the young, and happily combines in conception and expression all that is lovely in woman, and prominent in a truly benevolent heart. Parents should read this book. Children and youth indiscriminately should read it.

It should also find a place in every Sabbath School and Juvenile Library. We hope the author will not withhold from the public many similar volumes, for she may rest assured their tendency is highly instructive and beneficial.—Boston Recorder.

Each chapter is a thrilling narrative of facts, written in the author's best style. The two first show in a glowing manner, some of the evils to which young gentlemen and ladies are exposed. The third gives the history of a man who was once an infidel but afterwards a christian, as related by himself, in a stage-coach, on the North River The fourth gives the early and latter history of a man of ninety. The reader will find it difficult to lay down the book till it is finished, and hard must be the heart that is not moved by its touching delineations.-N. Y. Observer. These narratives bear the following titles: The Reading Club, The Victim The Infidel, The Aged Cottager, and they expose the evils of dissipation, of gambling, intemperance and infidelity, and at the same time recommend the virtues opposed to these vices. They impressively expose the cheer |
