Atlantic States -- Description and travel
No other volume extant can give the reader so true a picture of what he
would be likely to see and meet in Egypt. No other book is more practical
and plain in its picture of precisely what the traveller himself will
meet. Other writers have one account to give of their journey on paper,
and another to relate in conversation. Mr. Cooley has but one story for
the fireside circle and the printed page.—_Brother Jonathan._

NEW WORKS & NEW EDITIONS.
The undersigned have the pleasure of presenting to you a copy of
their Catalogue of important Publications in the several departments
of Literature. They would particularly direct your attention to
that admirable series of devotional works by BISHOP PATRICK, BISHOP
WILSON, DOCTOR SUTTON and others, which have received the unqualified
commendation of the Church. In a letter received from BISHOP WHITTINGHAM,
he says, “I had forgotten to express my _very great satisfaction_ at your
commencement of a series of devotional works, lately re-published in
Oxford and London.” Again, BISHOP DOANE says of this, “I write to express
my thanks to you for reprints of the Oxford books; first, for reprinting
such books, and secondly, in such a style I sincerely hope you may be
encouraged to go on, and give them all to us. You will dignify the art
of printing, and you will do great service to the best interests of the
country.” The undersigned also beg to refer to their beautiful edition of
the Poetical Works of SOUTHEY, also to that excellent series of “Tales
for the People and their Children,” by MARY HOWITT and others, and to
that extensive series of popular works for general reading, uniting an
interesting style with soundness of Christian principle, such as the
works of ARCHBISHOP MAGEE, GUIZOT, JOHN ANGELL JAMES, MISS SINCLAIR, REV.
ROBERT PHILIP, REV. AUGUSTUS WM. HARE, JNO. PYE SMITH, FREDERICK AUGUSTUS
SCHLEGEL, ISAAC TAYLOR, DR. W. C. TAYLOR, REV. DR. SPRAGUE, &c. &c. They
also publish those very popular Voyages and Travels by REV. H. SOUTHGATE,
of the Episcopal Mission, and FITCH W. TAYLOR, together with the Memoirs
of GENERAL ALEXANDER HAMILTON by his son; and will continue to publish
standard and popular works, and trust to merit a continuance of public
favour.
