There is a rustling in the crib—the baby is waking, and at my request
Juno brings her to me, saying as she lays her on my lap, “She’s the
berry pictur’ of t’other Jessie,” and as her soft blue eyes unclose and
my hand rests on her curly hair which begins to look golden in the
sunlight, I, too, think the same, and with a throbbing heart I pray the
Father to save her from the early death which came to our lost
darling—“Jessie, the angel of the Pines.”

BY S. G. GOODRICH,

&c. &c.

This work embraces the prominent public events of the last half century,
both at home and abroad; a complete Autobiography of the author—his
early days, education, and literary career; and an amount of original
curious, and valuable Personal Incident, Anecdote, and Description,
seldom, if ever, met with in a single work. It is the AUTHOR’S LIFE-LONG
WORK; and nothing superior, if anything equal to it, in blended
amusement and instruction, has ever been published. Mr. Goodrich is the
author and editor of =170 Volumes=, of which over =seven millions= of
copies have been sold! and this, the great work of his life, embodies
the condensed substance of his _ample Literary and Practical
Experience_; _the War with England in 1812–14_, in which Mr. Goodrich
was a private soldier; the _Hartford Convention_, whose operations took
place under his immediate observation, and with most of the members of
which he was personally acquainted. Embracing curious and interesting
details respecting _Old Jeffersonian Democracy, Old Federalism, and
Connecticut Blue Lights_; curious and marvellous events connected with
the rise and progress of RELIGIOUS SECTS in the United States; with
descriptions of the _French Revolution of 1848, and Louis Napoleon’s
Coup d Etat_, both of which the author witnessed. Also, a full account
of the “PETER PARLEY’S TALKS,” of which Four Millions have been sold.
