THE PARTISAN. _A Romance of the Revolution._ By W. Gilmore Simms,
Esq., author of "The Yemassee," "Guy Rivers," "Martin Faber," etc.
etc. A new and revised edition. The first edition of this work was so
favorably received by the critics, and was so generally read, it would
seem unnecessary for us to call particular attention to its merits as a
history or a romance. We may say, however, with great justice, that in his
revision of the work the author has availed himself of all the new facts
brought to bear upon his subject by the critical observations of friends,
and that the volume now presents a complete history of all the leading
events in the war of the Revolution in South Carolina, dating from the
fall of the city of Charleston, in 1780.

From J. P. JEWETT & CO., Boston:--
DRESS AS A FINE ART. By Mrs. Merrifield. The publisher, in his preface,
says: "This work of Mrs. Merrifield's has been circulated among the forty
thousand subscribers of the 'London Art Journal.'" He might have added,
"and also among the hundred thousand subscribers of the 'Lady's Book;'"
for we have published nearly every word of it. Still, the book before
us is beautifully got up, and, the articles being gathered together and
placed before the reader upon beautiful type and paper, it must command a
great sale, as it is an admirable work. That may be taken for granted, or
it never would have appeared in "Godey." The book is a splendid specimen
of typography.
