  VALUABLE PUBLISHED BY LEARY & GETZ, PHILADELPHIA. PROFESSOR FROST’S NEW HISTORICAL WORK. REMARKABLE EVENTS COMPILED FROM THE BEST AUTHORITIES BY J. FROST, LL.D. embellishes with SEVEN HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS, FROM DESIGNS OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED ARTISTS. The demand of the public for Historical Works, and especially for those which relate to the history of our own country, has increased so rapidly of late, that HISTORY may now be pronounced the leading department of literature. Not only classical histories, but every other description of books which may be expected to throw light upon history, are eagerly demanded. Biographies and Memoirs of Distinguished Men, local Histories, Historical and Topographical accounts of States, Historical Collections, Correspondence of Generals, Commodores, and Statesmen, State papers, and documents of all kinds, old and new, find a ready sale as soon as they are published. This decided taste of the public for historical reading, whilst it is hailed by the patriot and the friend of sound popular education as an evidence of increased intelligence among the people, points out distinctly the duties of authors and publishers, to contribute their best efforts towards the substitution of books of real utility, instead of the lighter and less useful publications, which have heretofore had too free a currency. The work here announced is intended to embrace a view of the most REMARKABLE EVENTS Which have transpired since the DISCOVERY OF AMERICA. It includes an account of THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO, by Herman Cortes. THE CONQUEST OF PERU, by Pizarro and Almagro. THE CONQUEST OF FLORIDA, by De Soto. THE DISCOVERY AND SETTLEMENT OF THE U. STATES AND CANADA. KING PHILIP’S WAR, and THE SEVEN YEARS’ WAR, which terminated in the Conquest of Canada. The Leading Incidents of THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, and THE WAR OF 1812, WITH GREAT BRITAIN. THE WAR WITH THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE SEVERAL INDIAN WARS, and THE LATE WAR WITH MEXICO. This work fills 1600 pages, and is very richly embellished throughout. It presents a great variety of REMARKABLE INCIDENTS, and brings to view a great number of Distinguished Characters, including DISCOVERERS, CONQUERORS, GENERALS, STATESMEN, AND LITERARY CHARACTERS, and will serve to gratify, in a high degree, the prevailing taste for Historical Reading. The Publisher has spared no expense to render this work in all respects worthy of public patronage. The Publisher relies on the liberality and discernment of the public for remuneration for the great expense which an undertaking of this magnitude has necessarily involved. The work is bound in a neat arabesque style, in one very large volume, and is sold at the extremely low price of THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS A COPY!

In one handsome large octavo volume of over 1200 pages, handsomely bound in cloth, gilt. Price only Three Dollars, OR BOUND IN TWO VOLUMES, CLOTH, GILT, $3.50. The Biography of this most distinguished and honored Statesman is eminently fraught with encouragement and hope for aspiring youth—especially for those who enter upon the stage of active life, unportioned and unheralded by the partial voice of powerful friends and kindred. Henry Clay was one of the many among our eminent men who, besides the disadvantages of poverty and obscurity, were fated to encounter that of early orphanage. Yet his subsequent career emphatically teaches that no one who is conscious of possessing the requisite qualities need ever apprehend that humility of origin or obscurity of position will deprive him of opportunities to serve and honor his country. The work here presented is intended to trace clearly the career of Mr. Clay, from his entrance on the stage of public life down to the period of his death—mainly by the right of his own lofty, persuasive, and impassioned eloquence. Mr. Clay’s parliamentary efforts, clear, direct, and vigorous, embody all the illustration that is needful to their full understanding—the great importance, variety, and indestructible interest of the topics he generally discussed—the character and ability of the orator, the direct and exact bearing of his arguments on the controversies and interests of the times—all combine to render his speeches among the most valuable contributions of Patriotism and Genius to the enlightenment and elevation of the American people.

HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
MAGNIFICENTLY ILLUSTRATED!
The work now offered to the public is designed to fill up a great chasm in one most important department of literature. To satisfy a want felt, not only by the student, by the man left to himself for an education, but also by the intelligent of all classes of society. It will supply the great mass of the public, who are at present almost necessarily in the dark as to the past world and its destinies, with a complete picture of all the great events relating to the world and to man, from the earliest dawn of history down to the present time; and we indulge the hope that it will satisfy the universal want of a good General History of the World. We have works entitled “Histories of the World,” or “Universal Histories,” it is true; but all of them (we mean those in a small form, and such as are within the reach of the generality of readers) are sadly deficient, ill-selected, and worse arranged: they could not, according to the ideas of the author of this work, be considered, strictly speaking, General Histories of the World.
The author of this History is celebrated throughout Europe as a scholar, as a statesman, and as a bold defender of liberty; and this reputation will certainly be an excellent recommendation of his work to the American public. Although born in Germany, educated in its far-famed halls of learning, and breathing a German atmosphere, he is not a German alone; he is a man whom the world may claim. He is no mystic, full of unintelligible, useless theories; but a man devoted to practicable objects, to the welfare of his race, and to pure religion and morality.
His History has been extensively circulated in Europe (in the German, French, Dutch, Swedish, and Danish languages), and is the most popular one that has ever been published. For, although he may be ranked as the first historian of Europe, he has written, not for a particular class, but for people in general. In fine, his History is equally fitted for the student, the merchant, the farmer, the mechanic, and the professional man.
THE WORK IS PUBLISHED IN ONE LARGE OCTAVO VOLUME OF OVER 1700 PAGES,
Illustrated with 28 Splendid Engravings.
? In order to bring this History within the reach of all classes of readers, the Publishers have been induced to put it at the extremely low price of
$3.50 per Copy.
Over 100,000 Copies of this valuable work have been sold in Germany alone.

BY THE REV. WILLIAM JACKSON.
THE CHRISTIAN’S LEGACY having gone through 10 editions, in a short space of time, the writer has no other apology to offer for the 11th edition, than a belief of its proving useful to all Christians of every denomination.
A conviction that a knowledge of the Bible, above all other books, is calculated “to make one wise;” and that an advantage is given to the enemy by not attending to our Lord’s admonition, “Search the Scriptures,” led to an attempt to assist the inquirer in his “Search” after TRUTH.
The design of the work is, to make the reading and study of the Holy Scriptures more easy and delightful; especially to those who have but few helps, little time for studying, or are young in years. The plan is new; and the arrangement so simple, that no one, not even a child, need mistake it; but may, without knowing a word of the Bible beforehand, find whatever the Scriptures contain on any subject, as readily as though he knew the whole Bible by heart.
It is a handsome volume of 420 full pages, printed with good type, on clear, fine white paper; is handsomely bound and lettered, with a striking likeness of the author.
The first 310 pages contain as many subjects, adapted to every state and condition of the Christian in Life, Death, the Grave, and beyond the grave, as far as the Bible goes but no farther: for there is not a sectarian expression to be found in the work. Each Page is complete of itself.
The last 110 pages contain a compendium of every book in the Bible, with the history of the several writers, &c.; together with the character of the first Christians—the example—miracles—parables—and remarkable discourses of Christ—the prophecies with their fulfillment—figurative and symbolical language of the Bible, alphabetically arranged, with the import of each word—a description of the Jewish offerings; and the different Sects mentioned in the Scriptures—Scriptural difficulties accounted for—fate of the Evangelists and Apostles—Hebrew offices—a Pronouncing Dictionary of the “hard names” in the Old and New Testament, &c.
An alphabetical Index is placed in the former part of the book, and by consulting which, the reader may readily find an answer to any question, that may be asked him by any Bible question-book, or individual; providing, that it is a question that would benefit any one to have answered, is not Sectarian, and is one that the Bible can answer.

Whether we choose the pathetic or the humorous parts of the story, we find the best and truest sentiments enforced in the moat beautiful language.

CHAMBERS’S
INFORMATION FOR THE PEOPLE;
OR,
POPULAR ENCYCLOPÆDIA,
EMBRACING ALL THE BRANCHES OF GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
NECESSARY TO CONSTITUTE A WELL INFORMED MAN.
The Work has been Edited by an accomplished American Scholar, who, without impairing in the slightest degree the integrity of the original text, has added such notes, and made such corrections and additions as were necessary to adapt it to the wants of the American public.
The plan on which the work is formed, was to select only the subjects on which it is important that a people, who feel the value of sound education, should be well informed. The minutiÆ of biography, topography, scientific technicalities, and other matters to which there may be only need for occasional reference, are dismissed, and thus what usually fills the greater part of an EncyclopÆdia is at once got rid of. There only remains a series of articles on the MOST IMPORTANT BRANCHES OF SCIENCE, PHYSICAL, MATHEMATICAL, AND MORAL; NATURAL HISTORY, POLITICAL HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY. AND GENERAL LITERATURE. All is given which, if studied and received into the mind, would make an individual, in the common walks of life, A WELL INFORMED MAN. While, with a few exceptions, only that is omitted which is not needed as a part of the standing knowledge of any person whatever, besides those for whom it may have a professional or local interest.
INFORMATION FOR THE PEOPLE,
Therefore, is an ENCYCLOPÆDIA including such knowledge only as tends to improve every mind possessing it—such knowledge as expands, liberalizes, and fertilizes. The ruling objects of the accomplished authors, the Messrs. Chambers, have been to give what may be expected to prove the means of SELF-EDUCATION to the people generally, whether enjoying the means of academic instruction or not.
AMONG THE SUBJECTS TREATED ARE
| Astronomy, Geography, Geology. Physical Hist’y of Man, Ancient History— Egypt, Arabia-PetrÆa, History of the Jews—Palestine, History of Greece and Rome, History of the Middle Ages, History of Great Britain and Ireland, Constitution and Resources of the British Empire, Descriptions of— England, London, Scotland, Ireland, British America, United States, Australia, Van Diemen’s Land, New Zealand, South America, West Indies, East Indies, China and the Tea Trade, Ocean— Maritime Discovery, Navigation, | The Whale— Whale Fisheries, Conveyance— Roads, Canals, Railways, Zoology, Account of the Human Body, Vegetable Physiology, Botany, Natural Theology, History of the Bible—Christianity, Private Duties of Life Public and Social Duties of Life, Life and Maxims of Franklin, Preservation of Health, Commerce— Money, Banks, History and Nature of Laws. Political Economy, Population, Poor-Laws, Life Assurance, Mohammedan and Pagan Religions, Superstitions, Domestic Economy, | Cookery, Proverbs and Old Sayings, Natural Philosophy, Mechanics, Machinery, Hydrostatics, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Optics, Light, Acoustics, Chemistry, Chemistry applied to the Arts Electricity, Galvanism, Electro-Magnetism, Meteorology, The Weather, Phrenology, Principles of Civil Government, Language, English Grammar, Logic, Education, Drawing and Perspective, Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Popular Statistics, Agriculture, | Social Economics of the Industrious Orders. Improvement of Waste Lands, The Kitchen Garden, The Flower Garden, The Fruit Garden, Arboriculture, The Horse, Cattle and Dairy Husbandry, Sheep, Pigs, Goats, Rabbits, Poultry, Cage Birds, Bees, The Dog, Field Sports, Angling, Gymnastic Exercises, In-door Amusements, Chronology, Printing, Engraving, Lithography, Architecture, The Steam Engine, Mining, Metals, Coal, Salt, and a variety of other subjects |
The expense of preparing this work has been very heavy, as, in addition to the closely condensed printed matter, it has bean necessary to execute upwards of FIVE HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS, in order effectually to explain and embellish the various subjects of scientific, historical, and geographical information which the work 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 100,000 copies have been sold in England. Price, elegantly bound in Two Volumes, only FIVE DOLLARS.

We return to it again and again, and bless the memory of an author who contrives so well to reconcile us to human-nature. Whether we choose the pathetic or the humorous parts of the story, we find the best and truest sentiments enforced in the moat beautiful language. In too many works of this class there are particular passages unfit to be perused by youth and innocence; but the wreath of Goldsmith is unsullied. He wrote to exalt virtue and expose vice.”
