WILLIAM HAZLITT, ESQ.,
Preparing for speedy publication, in 2 vols. 12mo.,
With a Biographical Sketch of the Author, by SirE. L. Bulwer, Bart.—with remarks bySarjeant Talfourd, &c. Edited byPark Godwin, Esq.
“We have no hesitation in saying that the writings of few essayists surpass the varied excellence of those of Hazlitt;—whether we regard the philosophical subtlety of their spirit of observation, the fearless force of their satire, the unrivalled critical acumen of their literary discussions, the felicitous truth of their pictures of society, or the power, the purity and the brilliancy of their style.”—Court Journal.
“Hazlitt’s relish for wit and humour, and his acute perception of the critical value of the good things he enjoyed, give to these discourses a raciness and gusto.—It is like reading our favourite authors over again, in company with one who not only laughs with us, but points out the felicitous thoughts that please. He was a fine critic and always writes from the impulse of thought; and, brilliant as is his style, he never, like too many of our would-bebrilliants, sacrifices sense to sound.”—Spectator.
“Valuing, as we do, the stern, fidelity with which Hazlitt adheres to his subject, we are rejoiced to see these searching papers rescued from the obscurity of magazines and reviews,—they breathe the true feeling of the enthusiastic critic.”—Athenæum.

“This is a book of a novel character, and treating of a novel subject. The antiquities of America have been so little known, that many are almost entirely unacquainted with their existence. Attention has of late however been directed to their investigation and this mine of hidden treasures has been partially explored.”—N. Y. Times.
“The author, whoever he may be, is a man of genius. His style is fresh and vigorous, and he displays much ingenuity in weaving an interesting narrative from the vague materials furnished by our aboriginal traditions. The book is worthy of praise if only for its truly American character and the novelty of its descriptions.”—N. Y. Mirror.

GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
Preparing for Publication in royal octavo, an important original work entitled an
Illustrated Life of Washington,
By WASHINGTON IRVING.
Profusely Embellished with Engravings from Designs by Chapman and other eminent artists.
This magnificent work will contain an entirely new biographical memoir of General Washington, divided into three distinct sections, viz: his personal and domestic history, his military, and also his political career; the whole derived from authentic sources, and original documents, which will be richly embellished by about 500 illustrations exquisitely engraved on wood and steel by the first artists, from the beautiful designs of Chapman, including also copies from a series of great historical pictures in the possession of J. K. Paulding, Esq. Numerous other facilities have been added to the otherwise ample resources of this distinguished artist, who will remain with the several members of the Washington family during the winter for the purpose of collectingmaterials, much of which, it is understood will be exclusive and of great value. In a word, it is the determination of the publishers to produce a work in every respect worthy of the present advanced state of art, and befitting the national tribute to the memory of one whose name is destined to be ever redolent with the incense of a nation’s praise. The work will form two large octavo volumes, printed from new and beautiful type, on the finest paper, and appropriately bound, and gilt. Many of the illustrations are already in the hands of the engravers, and the work will be produced with all convenient speed commensurate with the care required for such a costly publication.
☞The publication will be commenced early in the ensuing season, in monthly parts.

The following are among the contributors to this work:
Bancroft, J. F. Cooper, Amos Kendall, Paulding, Sedwick, Gilpin, Parke Godwin, Hawthorne, Davezac, Eames, A. H. Everett, Brownson, J. L. Stephens, Tilden, Whittier, Bryant, Cass, C. J. Ingersoll, Butler, Cambreleng.
The Monthly Financial and Commercial articles, which have frequently been, pronounced by the most intelligent criticisms during the past year in themselves alone worth the subscription to the work, will be continued from the same able hand.
An arrangement has been made, by which theBoston Quarterly Review, edited by Mr.Brownson, is now merged in the Democratic Review, the latter being furnished to the subscribers of the former, and Mr. Brownson being a frequent and regular contributor to its pages. It is proper to state that Mr. Brownson’s articles will be marked by his name—though to most readers they would doubtless reveal themselves by their internal evidence; and that it has been agreed, under the circumstances, that these contributions shall be independent of the usual liability to editorial revision and control—the author alone having a similar responsibility for whatever peculiarity of views they may contain, as though appearing in the original work which has been heretofore edited with such distinguished ability by himself.
Terms.—Five Dollars per annum payable in advance; each number will contain one hundred and twelve closely printed pages and embellished with a finely engraved portrait.
Any person taking four copies, or becoming responsible for four subscribers,
