The Works embraced in this Catalogue, the publishers trust may find their way into the hands of every family in this country. The greatest care has been taken, that while they should be eminently instructive, interesting, and some of them even amusing, they should contain nothing in any manner the least injurious in their tendency, or censurable in their character. At this time, when our country has become satiated with a class of literature that aims at the virtuous foundations of the human mind, the intelligent reader and the thinking parent will seek something of a more substantial and lasting character.

Any of our Publications not for sale in the reader's locality, will be sent to any person to any part of the United States or Canada, on their remitting the price of the work they may wish, to the Publishers, in a letter, free of postage or any other expense.

The expense of preparing this work has been very heavy, as, in addition to the closely condensed printed matter, it has been necessary to execute upwards of Seven Hundred Engravings, in order effectually to explain and embellish the various subjects of scientific, historical, and geographical information which the work fully and concisely embraces; but the publishers confidently rely on the intelligence and liberality of the public for

remuneration.

This is one of the most useful books published, of which over 100,000 copies have been sold in England. It contains as much for five dollars as can be only had in the ordinary way of books for a hundred.
