SAMUEL WARREN, ESQ., F.R.S.

DUTIES OF ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS. The Moral, Social, and Professional Duties of Attorneys and Solicitors. 18mo, Muslin, 75 cents.

Mr. Warren has handled this delicate and interesting subject with signal ability, and in a spirit indicative of a proper notion of those noble and elevated principles of moral duty which should guide all men in the active intercourse of life. His lectures are not only well calculated to maintain the station and character of the profession, to aid and direct its diligent study, and promote its honorable practice, but many valuable hints and suggestions are given and general practical rules laid down, a strict and faithful adherence to which will be found conducive to success in every pursuit and occupation in life.-Protestant Churchman.

A Tale.

NOW AND THEN.

12mo, Paper, 50 cents; Muslin, 60 cents.

*** Such is an outline of Mr. Warren's present work-a vindication, in beautiful prose, of the "ways of God to man." A grander moral is not to be found than that which dwells upon the reader's mind when the book is closed; conveyed, too, as it is, in language as masculine and eloquent as any the English tongue can furnish.-London Times.

It is sculpture, not painting, that we have here to deal with. The characters are few, the events simple; and both characters and events stand broadly and boldly out, chiselled into big, massive, rigid proportions. It is a book displaying peculiar and remarkable talents. In parts the narration is of breathless interest. There is an utter and blessed absence of conventionalism about the tale; and it is invested with a species of severe epic grandeur which, as it were, overshadows the mind.-Morning Chronicle.

THE DIARY OF A PHYSICIAN.

3 vols. 18mo, Muslin, $1 35.

We know of no book in the English language so calculated to rivet the attention, and awaken the purest and deepest sympathies of the heart as the "Diary of a late Physician." The man who has not read these tales has yet to learn a lesson in the mysteries of human nature.-Oxford and Cambridge Review.

Hunc circum innumeræ gentes populique volabant.
Ac veluti in pratis, ubi apes æstate serena

Floribus insidunt variis, et candida circum

Lilia funduntur: strepit omnis murmure campus.
