A TREATISE ON POLITICAL ECONOMY;
Or, The Production, Distribution and Consumption of Wealth.
BY JEAN BAPTISTE SAY.
FIFTH AMERICAN EDITION, WITH ADDITIONAL NOTES, BY C. C. BIDDLE,Esq.
In one volume, octavo.
It would be beneficial to our country if all those who are aspiring to office, were required by their constituents to be familiar with the pages of Say.
The distinguished biographer of the author, in noticing this work, observes: “Happily for science he commenced that study which forms the basis of his admirable Treatise onPolitical Economy; a work which not only improved under his hand with every successive edition, but has been translated into most of the European languages.”
The Editor of the North American Review, speaking of Say, observes, that “he is the most popular, and perhaps the most able writer on Political Economy, since the time of Smith.” “
LAURENCE STERNE’S WORKS,
WITH A LIFE OF THE AUTHOR:
WRITTEN BY HIMSELF.
WITH SEVEN BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS, ENGRAVED BY GILBERT AND GIHON, FROM DESIGNS BY DARLEY.
One volume, octavo; cloth, gilt.
To commend or to criticise Sterne’s Works, in this age of the world, would be all “wasteful and extravagant excess.” Uncle Toby—Corporal Trim—the Widow—Le Fevre—Poor Maria—the Captive—even the Dead Ass,—this is all we have to say of Sterne; and in the memory of these characters, histories, and sketches, a thousand follies and worse than follies are forgotten. The volume is a very handsome one.

AUNT PHILLIS’S CABIN;
OR, SOUTHERN LIFE AS IT IS.
BY MRS. MARY H. EASTMAN.
PRICE, 50 AND 75 CENTS.
This volume presents a picture of Southern Life, taken at different points of view from the one occupied by the authoress of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” The writer, being a native of the South, is familiar with the many varied aspects assumed by domestic servitude in that sunny region, and therefore feels competent to give pictures of “Southern Life, as it is.”
Pledged to no clique or party, and free from the pressure of any and all extraneous influences, she has written her book with a view to its truthfulness; and the public at the North, as well as at the South, will find in “Aunt Phillis’s Cabin” not the distorted picture of an interested painter, but the faithful transcript of a Daguerreotypist.

LONZ POWERS; Or, The Regulators.
A ROMANCE OF KENTUCKY.
FOUNDED ON FACTS.
BY JAMES WEIR, ESQ.
IN TWO VOLUMES.
The scenes, characters, and incidents in these volumes have been copied from nature, and from real life. They are represented as taking place at that period in the history of Kentucky, when the Indian, driven, after many a hard-fought field, from his favourite hunting-ground, was succeeded by a rude and unlettered population, interspersed with organized bands of desperadoes, scarcely less savage than the red men they had displaced. The author possesses a vigorous and graphic pen, and has produced a very interesting romance, which gives us a striking portrait of the times he describes.
