Travellers, political writers, philosophers, are all brought to illustrate the comparative advantages of the Govern ment of the United States. Probably all that can be collected on the subject of any value he has collected, The style is as neat and perspicuous as the arrangement is convenient."--The Economist.

Models of Gommercial Letters for Youth.

Anderson's Mercantile Letters.

A Collection of Modern Letters of Business; with Notes, Critical and Explanatory; an Analytical Index; and an Appendix, containing pro formâ Invoices, Account Sales, Bills of Lading, and Bills of Exchange. Also, an Explanation of the German ChainRule, as applicable to the Calculations of Exchanges: with a Nomenclature of Technicalities not to be found in any Dictionary.

By W. ANDERSON.

"Youth designed for mercantile pursuits cannot be better occupied than in copying these letters "-Standard.

The style of these letters is simple, clear, concise, and correct, saying much in a little compass: the author is evidently a man of business, and his book may be regarded as an intermediate step between the school and the counting-house, and is the only work of its kind in existence. There are also forms of invoices, bills of lading, bills of exchange; in fact, we have rarely, if ever, seen so much useful matter in so small a compass. To young men just entering counting-houses, this book will be a very great assistant indeed we have heard several elderly merchants of great respectability and influence say, that if they had but possessed such a book in their youthful days, it would have saved them a world of trouble."-London Mercantile Journal.

"A most comprehensive and complete guide to commercial transactions, the examples being taken from genuine commercial letters; and the whole work being directed to objects of practical utility and matters of genuine business, it forms a most useful assistant in all branches of trade and commerce."-Courier.

The New Edition is not merely valuable as examples of commercial style, but as introducing the reader and student, in the most familiar and intelligible manner, to the system of commercial dealings in all its branches, as carried on between this and other countries; in fact, it is a book which should be found in every counting-house and school, as the general mercantile information which it communicates and familiarises cannot fail to render it interesting to all classes of readers."-Examiner.

"We have only to announce a second edition of this excellent work. Of its merits, as being the first of its class, we have already spoken. We perceive that in this edition much has been inserted which tends to add to its previous utility. We would especially notice Australian correspondence. This is novel and striking, and speaks much for the growing commerce of that rising colony. These letters are models for the man of business and the counting-house. Further commendation would be superfluous."-Atlas.
