12mo. Price $1.00.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
It is not too much to say, that the Golden Grains here presented to the reader, are
such as will be productive of a far greater amount of human happiness than those in
search of which so many are willing to risk domestic peace, health, and even life itself
in a distant and inhospitable region.
These narratives, like all of those which proceed from the same able pen, are remarkable
not only for their entertaining and lively pictures of actual life, but for their
admirable moral tendency.
It is printed in excellent style, and embellished with a mezzotint engraving. We
cordially recommend it to the favor of our readers.

her as she is, and comprehend in some small degree the influence she wields in the
world's progress upward, as well as her power to mar the human soul and drag it down
to perdition, when her own spirit is darkened by evil passions.”
