[figure description] Advertisement.[end figure description]


The WATER WITCH, or the SKIMMER of
the SEAS. By the Author of the Pilot, Red Rover, &c. In
2 vols.

“We have read the whole of Cooper's forthcoming novel, The Water Witch,
or Skimmer of the Seas
. It relates, as its name implies, scenes and exploits of
naval life; and in our opinion, these are delineated with a deeper interest, and
a more vigorous spirit than he has exhibited even in that admirable sea-picture,
the Red Rover. * * * * A chase through the difficult channel of the East River,
a pursuit at sea, a naval battle and explosion, and the escape of a few persons
on a raft from the burning vessel, are depicted so as to fix a breathless interest
at every page. We have no hesitation in classing this among the most powerful
of the romances of our countryman.”

U. States Gazette.

“We have read the whole of Mr. Cooper's new novel, The Water Witch. It is
another tale of the sea, proving that the author's march is truly `on the mountain
wave,' and his home `on the deep.' We could not break from the volumes, and
may predict that they will excite the same interest in the minds of almost every
reader. The concluding chapters produce intense emotion.”

National Gazette.


New Editions of the following Works by the same
Author.

NOTIONS of the AMERICANS, by a Travelling Bachelor,
2 vols. 12mo.

The WISH-TON-WISH, in 2 vols. 12mo.

“We can conceive few periods better calculated to offer a promising field to
the novelist than that which these pages illustrate;—the mingling of wildest adventure
with the most plodding industry—the severe spirit of the religion of the
first American settlers—the feelings of household and home at variance with all
earlier associations of country—the magnificence of the scenery by which they
were surrounded—their neighbourhood to that most picturesque and extraordinary
of people we call savages;—these, surely, are materials for the novelist, and
in Mr. Cooper's hands they have lost none of their interest. We shall not attempt
to detail the narrative, but only say it is well worthy of the high reputation of
its author.”

JOURNAL of the HEART, edited by the
Authoress of Flirtation.

“This is a most charming and feminine volume, one delightful for a woman
to read, and for a woman to have written; elegant language, kind and gentle
thoughts, a sweet and serious tone of religious feeling run through every page,
and any extract must do very scanty justice to the merit of the whole, ******
We most cordially recommend this Journal of the Heart, though we are unable
to do it justice by any selection of its beauties, which are too intimately interwoven
to admit of separation.”

Literary Gazette.

The ARMENIANS, a Tale of Constantinople,
by J. Macfarlane, in 2 vols.

“The author will appreciate our respect for his talents, when we say that he
has done more than any other man to complete the picture of the East, dashed
off by the bold pencil of the author of Anastasius.”

This is a work recently published by Messrs. Vizetelly, Branston & Co. London,
with upwards of seven hundred embellishments, engraved in a superior
style on wood. The volume is a duodecimo of more than five hundred pages,
and sells in England for one guinea. It is intended to make the American edition
a perfect fac-simile, or as nearly so as practicable in this country, and to afford
it at $ 4, neatly bound in silk, and elegantly gilt. This work cannot be
classed as Annual, but may be said to be a Perennial, a suitable memorial for all
times and seasons. It differs essentially from the whole class of Literary Gifts
usually presented to Young Ladies, being a complete manual for all those elegant
pursuits which graee the person and adorn the mind.

The POETICAL WORKS of CAMPBELL,

With Portraits of the Authors.

The CHEMISTRY of the ARTS, on the Basis
of Gray's Operative Chemist, being an Exhibition of the
Arts and Manufactures dependent on Chemical Principles,
with numerous Engravings, by Arthur L. Porter, M. D.
late Professor of Chemistry, &c. in the University of Vermont.
In 8vo. With numerous plates.

The popular and valuable English work of Mr. Gray, which forms the groundwork
of the present volume, was published in London in 1829, and designed to
exhibit a Systematic and Practical view of the numerous Arts and Manufactures
which involve the application of Chemical Science. The author himself, a
skilful, manufacturing, as well as an able, scientific chemist, enjoying the multiplied
advantages afforded by the metropolis of the greatest manufacturing nation
on earth, was eminently qualified for so arduous an undertaking, and the
popularity of the work in England, as well as its intrinsic merits attest the
fidelity and success with which it has been executed. In the work now offered
to the American public, the practical character of the Operative Chemist has
been preserved, and much extended by the addition of a great variety of original
matter, by numerous corrections of the original text, and the adaptation
of the whole to the state and wants of the Arts and Manufactures of the United
States; among the most considerable additions will be found full and extended
treatises on the Bleaching of Cotton and Linen, on the various branches of Calico
Printing, on the Manufacture of the Chloride of Lime, or Bleaching Powder,
and numerous Staple Articles used in the Arts of Dying, Calico Printing,
and various other processes of Manufacture, such as the Salts of Tin, Lead,
Manganese, and Antimony; the most recent Improvements on the Manufacture
of the Muriatic, Nitric, and Sulphuric Acids, the Chromates of Potash, the
latest information on the Comparative Value of Different Varieties of Fuel, on the
Construction of Stoves, Fire-places, and Stoving Rooms, on the Ventilation of
Apartments, &c. &c. To make room for the additional practical matter, and
not to enhance the price of the work to the American reader, between two and
three hundred pages of the theoretical or doctrinal part of the original work
have been omitted; indeed, most of the articles on the theory of chemistry, such
as Electricity, Galvanism, Light, &c. which have little or no immediate application
to the arts, and which the chemical student will find more fully
discussed in almost every elementary work on the science, have been either
wholly omitted or abridged. Many obsolete processes in the practical part of
the work, used in some instances, the description of arts not practised, and from

-- --

[figure description] Advertisement[end figure description]

their nature not likely to be practised in the United States, have also been
omitted; in short, the leading object has been to improve and extend the practical
character of the Operative Chemist, and to supply, as the publishers flatter
themselves, a deficiency which is felt by every artist and manufacturer, whose
processes involve the principles of chemical science, the want of a Systematic
Work which should embody the most recent improvements in the chemical
arts and manufactures, whether derived from the researches of scientific men,
or the experiments and observations of the operative manufacturer and artizans
themselves.

PATHOLOGICAL and PRACTICAL RESEARCHES

“With a mind so framed to accurate observation, and logical deduction, Dr.
Smith's delineations are peculiarly valuable.”

“No work has been more lauded by the Reviews than the Treatise on Fevers,

our conscience, we believe it the best that ever flowed from the pen of physician
in any age or in any country.”'

SKETCHES of CHINA, with Illustrations
from Original Drawings. By W. W. Wood, in 1 vol. 12mo.

“The residence of the author in China, during the years 1826-7-8 and 9, has
enabled him to collect much very curious information relative to this singular
people, which he has embodied in his work; and will serve to gratify the curiosity
of many whose time or dispositions do not allow them to seek, in the voluminous
writings of the Jesuits and early travellers, the information contained
in the present work. The recent discussion relative to the renewal of the East
India Company's Charter, has excited much interest; and among ourselves, the
desire to be further acquainted with the subjects of `the Celestial Empire' has
been considerably augmented.”

EMBRACING

HISTORY of ENGLAND. By Sir James Mackintosh, Vol. I.

“Our anticipations of this volume were certainly very highly raised, and unlike
such anticipations in general, they have not been disappointed. A philosophical
spirit, a nervous style, and a full knowledge of the subject, acquired by
considerable research into the works of preceding chroniclers and historians,
eminently distinguish this popular abridgment, and cannot fail to recommend it
to universal approbation. In continuing his work as he has begun, Sir James
Mackintosh will confer a great benefit on his country.”

HISTORY of SCOTLAND. By Sir Walter Scott, 2 vols.

HISTORY of SCOTLAND. By Sir Walter
Scott,
Bart, in 2 vols. 12mo.

The History of Scotland, by Sir Walter Scott, we do not hesitate to declare,
will be, if possible, more extensively read, than the most popular work of fiction,
by the same prolific author, and for this obvious reason: it combines much of the
brilliant colouring of the Ivanhoe pictures of by-gone manners, and all the
graceful facility of style and picturesqueness of description of his other charming
romances, with a minute fidelity to the facts of history, and a searching scrutiny
into their authenticity and relative value, which might put to the blush Mr.
Hume and other professed historians. Such is the magic charm of Sir Walter
Scott's pen, it has only to touch the simplest incident of every day life, and it
starts up invested with all the interest of a scene of romance; and yet such is his
fidelity to the text of nature, that the knights, and serfs, and collared fools with
whom his inventive genius has peopled so many volumes, are regarded by us as
not mere creations of fancy, but as real flesh and blood existences, with all the
virtues, feelings and errors of common place humanity.”

Military Hospitals—first American from the third London edition,
with Life of the Author, by his son, Dr. John Hennen.

“The value of Dr. Hennen's work is too well appreciated to need any praise
of ours. We were only required then, to bring the third edition before the notice
of our readers; and having done this, we shall merely add, that the volume
merits a place in every library, and that no military surgeon ought to be without
it.”

“It is a work of supererogation for us to eulogize Dr. Hennen's Military Surgery;
there can be no second opinion on its merits. It is indispensable to the military
and naval surgeon.”

than for the delicacy of its humour, and its beautiful and at times affecting simplicity.
A lady must have written it—for it is from the bosom of woman alone,
that such tenderness of feeling and such delicacy of sentiment—such sweet lessons
of morality—such deep and pure streams of virtue and piety, gush forth to
cleanse the juvenile mind from the grosser impurities of our nature, and prepare
the young for lives of usefulness here, and happiness hereafter. We advise parents
of young families to procure this little book—assuring them that it will
have a tendency to render their offspring as sweet as innocent, as innocent as
gay, as gay as happy. It is dedicated by the author `to her young Bedford
friends, Anna and Maria Jay'—but who this fair author is, we cannot even guess.

The PRACTICE of PHYSIC, by W. P.
Dewees, M. D. Adjunct Professor of Midwifery in the University
of Pennsylvania, 2 vols. 8vo.

“We have no hesitation in recommending it as decidedly one of the best
systems of medicine extant. The tenor of the work in general reflects the highest
honour on Dr. Dewees's talents, industry, and capacity, for the execution of
the arduous task which he had undertaken. It is one of the most able and
satisfactory works which modern times have produced, and will be a standard
authority.'

DEWEES on the DISEASES of CHILDREN.
Third edition. In 8vo.

The objects of this work are, 1st, to teach those who have the charge of children,
either as parent or guardian, the most approved methods of securing and
improving their physical powers. This is attempted by pointing out the duties
which the parent or the guardian owes for this purpose, to this interesting,
but helpless class of beings, and the manner by which their duties shall be fulfilled.
And 2d, to render available a long experience to these objects of our affections,
when they become diseased. In attempting this, the author has avoided
as much as was possible, “technicality;” and has given, if he does not flatter himself
too much, to each disease of which he treats, its appropriate and designating
characters, with a fidelity that will prevent any two being confounded, together
with the best mode of treating them, that either his own experience or
that of others has suggested.

A CHRONICLE of the CONQUEST of
GRENADA, by Washington Irving, Esq. in 2 vols.

“On the whole, this work will sustain the high fame of Washington Irving.
It fills a blank in the historical library which ought not to have remained so
long a blank. The language throughout is at once chaste and animated; and
the narrative may be said, like Spencer's Fairy Queen, to present one long gallery
of splendid pictures. Indeed, we know no pages from which the artist is
more likely to derive inspiration, nor perhaps are there many incidents in literary
history more surprising than that this antique and chivalrous story should
have been for the first time told worthily by the pen of an American and a republican.”
