The Roman Traitor; or, The Days of Cataline and Cicero.
By Henry William Herbert, author of “Cromwell,” “The Brothers,” etc. This is
one of the most powerful Roman stories in the English language, and is of itself
sufficient to stamp the writer as a powerful man. The dark intrigues of the days
which Cæsar, Sallust, and Cicero made illustrious; when Cataline defined and almost
defeated the Senate; when the plots which ultimately overthrew the Roman Republic
were being formed, are described in a masterly manner. The book deserves a prominent
position by the side of the great Bellum Catalinarium of Sallust, and if we
mistake not, will not fail to occupy a prominent place among those produced in
America. This splendid work is published complete in two large volumes, of over
250 pages each, paper cover, price 50 cents a volume, or the whole work is handsomely

illustrated. Price $1 00.

Wild Oats sown Abroad; or, On and Off Soundings. By a gentleman
of leisure. It is the Private Journal of a Gentleman of Leisure and Education,
and of a highly cultivated mind, in making the tour of Europe. Whoever buys the
book and reads the opening chapter, we venture to say, would not part with it for
ten times its cost, if he could not procure another. It is having a sale unprecedented
in the annals of literature, for nothing equal to it in spiciness, vivacity, and real
scenes and observations in daily travel, has ever appeared from the press. Complete
in one volume, price 50 cents in paper cover, or 75 cents in cloth, gilt.

THE FORGED WILL.

[figure description] Page 014.[end figure description]

BY EMERSON BENNETT,
AUTHOR OF “CLARA MORELAND,” “VIOLA,” “PIONEER'S DAUGHTER,” ETC.

THIS CELEBRATED AND BEAUTIFUL WORK is published complete in one large
volume, of over 300 pages, paper cover, price FIFTY CENTS; or the work is handsomely
bound in one volume, cloth, gilt, price ONE DOLLAR.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES OF THE FORGED WILL! will be sold in
a short time, and it will have a run and popularity second only to Uncle Tom's Cabin.
The Press everywhere are unanimous in its praise, as being one of the most powerfully
written works in the language.

THE FORGED WILL is truly a celebrated work. It has been running through
the columns of the Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper, where it has been appearing for ten
weeks, and has proved itself to be one of the most popular nouvelettes that has ever
appeared in the columns of any newspaper in this country. Before the fourth paper appeared,
the back numbers, (although several thousand extra of the three former numbers
were printed,) could not be obtained at any price, and the publishers of the paper
were forced to issue a Supplement sheet of the first three papers of it, for new subscribers
to their paper, which induced the publisher to make an arrangement with the popular
author to bring it out in a beautiful style for the thousands that wish it in book form.

If Emerson Bennett had never written his many delightful and thrilling stories of
border life, of prairie scenes, and Indian warfare, this new story of the `Forged Will'
would have placed his name on the record as one of the best of American novelists. The
scenes, principally, of this most captivating novel, are laid in the city of New York; and
most glowingly the author pictures to us how the guilty may, for a time, escape the
justice of the law, but only to feel the heavy hand of retribution sooner or later; how
vice may, for a time, triumph over virtue, but only for a time; how crime may lie concealed,
until its very security breeds exposure; how true virtue gives way to no temptation,
but bears the ills of life with patience, hoping for a better day, and rejoices
triumphant in the end. In short, from base hypocrisy he tears the veil that hides its
huge deformity, and gives a true picture of life as it exists in the crowded city. We do
cordially recommend this book for its excellent moral. It is one that should be circulated,
for it must do good.

Price for the complete work, in one volume, in paper cover. Fifty Cents only; or a
finer edition, printed on thicker and better paper, and handsomely bound in one volume,
muslin, gilt, is published for One Dollar.

THE ROMAN TRAITOR; OR, THE DAYS OF CICERO, CATO AND CATALINE.

[figure description] Page 017.[end figure description]

BY HENRY WILLIAM HERBERT,
AUTHOR OF “CROMWELL,” “THE BROTHERS,” ETC.

THIS SPLENDID WORK is published complete in two large volumes, of over 250
pages each, paper cover, price FIFTY CENTS a volume, or the whole work is handsomely
bound in one volume, cloth, price ONE DOLLAR AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

This is one of the most powerful Roman stories in the English language, and is of
itself sufficient to stamp the writer as a powerful man. The dark intrigues of the
days which Cæsar, Sallust, and Cicero made illustrious; when Cataline defied and almost
defeated the Senate; when the plots which ultimately overthrew the Roman Republic
were being formed, are described in a masterly manner. The book deserves a prominent
position by the side of the great Bellum Catalinarium of Sallust, and, if we mistake
not, will not fail to occupy a prominent place among those produced in America.

READ THE FOLLOWING OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ABOUT IT.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, of September 3rd 1853

“Since the publication of `The Last Days of Pompeii' no fiction of classic times has
appeared at all equal to this. The period chosen by Mr. Herbert is even better suited
than that selected by Bulwer, both to delineate the manners of ancient Rome and to
enchain the attention of the reader. Thoroughly conversant with the age of which he
writes, practised as a moralist, and enthusiastic in his subject, our author has, in this
work, executed his master-piece, and may well challenge for it intelligent criticism, as
well as popular applause. The character of Cataline, the hero of the volume, in the
sense at least in which `Balfour of Burley' is the hero of `Old Mortality,' is boldly and
artistically drawn, not indeed in the dark colors of Sallust, but in the milder tints
which more Catholic historians have used. There are so few books in the language
which the scholar and ordinary reader can alike peruse with pleasure, that Mr. Herbert
may fairly consider himself entitled to the very highest praise for his successful production,
in `The Roman Traitor,' of such a work. The publisher has issued the novel in
a handsome style, bound in embossed cloth, so pleasant to all who love pleasant books.”

From the Baltimore Republican and Argus, of Sept. 2d, 1853.

“This is the title of a new and powerfully written story from the pen of H. W. Herbert,
which of itself would place the author among the first writers of the day. Mr.
Herbert is already well known as an author of no common merit, and this work
must give him a permanent place in the front rank of the literary men of the age.
It is a book which may be placed in the library of every man, and will be often referred
to with pleasure. The book has been published by T. B. Peterson, and is put up in a
style suited to the character of the work, and is altogether an interesting and handsome
volume.”

From the Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper, of Sept. 7th, 1853

“This is a work calculated to excite a lively interest in literary circles. Roman history
ever has a charm for the youthful inquirer after knowledge, and by keeping
historical facts steadily in view, the garb of fiction, without material detriment, will
greatly add to the number of readers. In the story which the author has woven round
the principal incidents in the life and history of Cataline, he claims to have adhered
scrupulously to dates, facts, and the historical characters of the individuals introduced.
The great aim of the author is to popularize the incidents of Roman history, and by
avoiding the common errors of writers in the same field, who have preceded him, of
appearing learned, to bring his matter down to the comprehension of the mass of the
reading public. He has aimed less at portraying Greeks and Romans, than at depicting
men—assuming that in all ages `the human heart is still the human heart, convulsed
by the same passions, chilled by the same griefs, burning with the same joys, and, in
the main, actuated by the same hopes and fears.'”

Price for the complete work, in two volumes, in paper cover, One Dollar only or a
finer edition, printed on thicker and better paper, and handsomely bound in one volume,
muslin, gilt, is published for One Dollar and Twenty-five Cents

SPLENDID PORTRAIT OF HENRY CLAY.

[figure description] Page 019.[end figure description]

NEAGLE'S CORRECT PORTRAIT AND ONLY TRUE LIKENESS
EVER PUBLISHED OF
HENRY CLAY.

T. B. PETERSON, No. 102 Chesnut Street, Philadelphia,
PUBLISHES THIS DAY the above Portrait, and most respectfully dedicates
it to the People of the United States, and is truly proud to be able to
present to the American People, so true, so faithful, so superb a memorial of
the noble Statesman, for whose death a nation mourns.

This beautiful picture of HENRY CLAY was painted by the celebrated
JOHN NEAGLE, on Henry Clay's farm at Ashland, Kentucky. It is full-length,
and represents him surrounded with the implements of AGRICULTURE,
MANUFACTURES, COMMERCE, and the ARTS, and in the well-known
attitude he always assumed when addressing the Senate and the
People. The graceful folds of the American Flag, to the right of the figure,
lends a beauty, and makes this splendid Mezzotinto Engraving not only the
best likeness of HENRY CLAY in existence, but one of the most beautiful
pictures in the world.

THE CABIN AND PARLOR.

[figure description] Page 020.[end figure description]

BY J. THORNTON RANDOLPH.

Complete in one volume of 336 pages; full of beautiful illustrations.

PRICE ONE DOLLAR A COPY IN CLOTH, GILT; OR FIFTY CENTS IN PAPER COVER.

Twenty-two Thousand Copies of this celebrated work were sold by November
10th, 1852, which was only four weeks after its first publication, at which
time this advertisement was written, and the demand is increasing every
day. The Press every where praise it as far surpassing Mrs. Stowe's farfamed
work of “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” Telegraphic despatches from all
quarters of the “UNION” are pouring in for it, and Printers, Steam Presses,
Bookbinders, Packers, and all others are kept busy at it to supply the demand.
Every body should send for a copy and read it.

“The Cabin and Parlor,” is a book for the whole country, and not for
one section only. It is intended to allay, not excite, local jealousies. It is
free from all bias of party. Every person who values the Constitution framed
by Washington and his co-patriots, or loves “truth for truth's sake,” should
have a copy of this work.

The author is a gentleman who has travelled both North and South, so
that his descriptions are both faithful and accurate; indeed, nearly every
incident described in the volume, he has personally witnessed. The narrative,
though thus substantially true, is as thrilling as the most engrossing novel.
Never, perhaps, has a book so interesting in every respect, been offered to the
American public.

The spirit of enlarged philanthrophy which pervades the book, is not its
least recommendation. The author is a true and wise friend of his race, and
not a quack in morals, as so many modern writers are. His religion is that
of the Bible, and not mere varnished infidelity.

Price for the complete work, in paper cover, beautifully illustrated, Fifty
cents a copy only; or a finer edition, printed on thicker and better paper,
and handsomely bound in muslin, gilt, is published for One Dollar.

Copies of either edition of the work will be sent to any person at all, to
any part of the United States, free of postage, on their remitting the price of
the edition they wish, to the publisher, in a letter, post-paid.
