ADAPTATIONS TO LADIES AND CHILDREN.

ADDRESSING THE INTELLECT, THE IMAGINATION, AND THE HEART.
ALL ARE CHRISTIANS.

A SERIAL,

By "META LANDER," author of "The Broken Bud," published by the Carters, New York; of "Light on the Dark River," published by Ticknor & Fields, Boston; and of other valuable works, will be a feature of THE TREASURE for 1866. Other Serials, by excellent writers, are engaged.

This Magazine has just closed its second volume. It is a work of sixty-four octavo rages monthly, double columns, and neatly covered, and has received many commendations:

"THE FAMILY TREASURE is happily adapted to the different ages, tastes, and degrees of mental culture, which are found in almost every household."-Professors of Allegheny Theological Seminary. "It is always interesting and instructive to me and my family. I heartily commend this periodical, as a safe, attractive, and useful means of family education."-Dr. M'Gill of Princeton Seminary. "It combines the attractive with the useful and important, in an unusual degree.”—Dr. Lord of Chicago.

"This work is the only Presbyterian monthly in the country, and the character of its editors for intelligent orthodoxy, sound discretion, and love for the truth as it is revealed in God's Word-all guaranty a rich Family Treasure."-Drs. Humphrey and Yerkes of Danville, in Western Presbyterian. "Whatever regulates, or purifies, or elevates the family, elevates society and improves the condition of mankind. We like the articles, the variety, the sprightliness, and the good taste exhibited in them."-Christian Mirror, Portland, Maine.

"We like it much as a household periodical,”-Christian Instructor, Philadelphia.

"It ought to be, and will be, sustained by the families of the Presbyterian Church.”—Presbyterian Standard, Philadelphia.

"Steadily increasing in both patronage and interest. Its articles have uniformly inculcated sound doctrines and correct morals."-Presbyterian Banner, Pittsburg.

"For purity of purpose no Magazine excels this."-Boston Recorder.

"It brings out, monthly, a collection of choice articles in prose and poetry, long and short, but more short than long, in the departments of religion, literature, history, travels-and something for the imagination-just such as every family needs, and as no family can afford to do without."Religious Herald, Hartford, Conn.

It is the foremost Magazine of the day. The fireside never had a more delightful companion, nor the million a more enterprising friend, than Harper's Magazine. Methodist Protestant (Baltimore).

The most popular Monthly in the world.-New York Observer.

We must refer in terms of eulogy to the high tone and varied excellences of HARPER'S MAGAZINE—a jour nal with a monthly circulation of about 170,000 copies -in whose pages are to be found some of the choicest light and general reading of the day. We speak of this work as an evidence of the culture of the Americaz

People; and the popularity it has acquired is merited. Each Number contains fully 144 pages of reading-matmatter, appropriately illustrated with good wood-cuts; and it combines in itself the racy monthly and the more philosophical quarterly, blended with the best features of the daily journal.

TWO GREAT WAR BOOKS.

PRISON LIFE IN THE SOUTH: At Richmond, Macon, Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh, Goldsborough, and Andersonville, during the Years 1864 and 1865. By A. O. ABBOTT, late Lieutenant 1st New York Dragoons. Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, Beveled Edges, $2 00.

From the N. Y. Daily Times.

The book exhibits all the various phases of rebel treatment of their prisoners. Its revelations are almost too painful for general reading, and with the illustrations form a picture that must never be forgotten. Lieutenant Abbott's book is indispensable to a comprehension of the spirit in which war was waged by our adversaries.

From the N. Y. Express.

One of the most vivid and thrilling histories of the late war yet written. A simple story is told, which is more powerful from its simplicity.

From the Philadelphia Press.

No other work has more tangibly impressed us with the reality of what our captured citizen-soldiers suffered from rebel barbarity than this "Prison Life in the South."

From the Brooklyn Times.

Told in simple but effective language, the history of the sufferings at the Libby, at Macon, at Columbia, and other places, is harrowing in the extreme, but on every page bears internal marks of authenticity.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. This handsomely illustrated volume is a tale of terrible trial and suffering, of brutal persecution, and of the manifold attempts to break prison. These personal narratives fill out the bare skeletons of official detail, and verify the horrible stories that are in circulation in regard to rebel cruelty.

From the Union, Springfield, Mass.

A valuable contribution to the literature of the war. It is a stern arraignment of the rebel authorities and rebel prison-keepers.

THE STORY OF THE GREAT MARCH: Diary of General Sherman's Campaign through Georgia and the Carolinas. By Brevet Major GEORGE WARD NICHOLS, Aid-de-Camp to General Sherman. With a Colored Map and numerous Illustrations, and an Appendix, containing Major-General SHERMAN'S Official Report of his Campaign, and Quartermaster and Commissary Reports, &c. 12mo, Cloth, Beveled Edges, $2 00.

FROM MAJOR-GENERAL SHERMAN, U. S. A. "I have read the volume, Story of the Great March,' by Major GEORGE WARD NICHOLS, and was interested in it, as it is the faithful record of one who made the March, and had abundant opportunities to observe for himself.

“W. T. SHERMAN, Major-General."

DR. R. SHELTON MACKENZIE,

In the Philadelphia Press, of November 21st, 1865, makes the following comparison between Major NICHOLS'S "Story of the Great March" and another account of the March recently published without Maps or Illustrations:

"The description of Sherman's March to the Sea, as given here (in Captain Conyngham's book), is by no means as good as that by Major Nichols. Of course, an experienced officer knew more and wrote better of that great military exploit than such a mere amateur as a newspaper reporter acting as volunteer aid-de-camp."

[ocr errors][merged small]

FROM MAJOR-GENERAL HAZEN.

"For freshness and piquancy of style, for accuracy of statement, and for clear delineation of the characteristics of the country and people, there has been no book published upon the war equal to Major NICHOLS's 'Story of the Great March.' W. B. HÄZEN, Major-General.”

From the New York Times.

Never did a book appear more opportunely abroad than Colonel Nichols's "Story of the Great March," lately issued by Messrs. Harpers. The only accounts accessible of Sherman's grand achievement were derived from the newspapers, and from them it was impossible to form a connected idea of this great military movement. Colonel Nichols, in his unaffected diary of each day's occurrences, supplied just the information that was wanted better than a mere technical book could have done, and the result is that Sherman is now lifted high on a pinnacle of science that places him above any living commander by the unanimous voice of the English journalists.

ENGLISH OPINIONS.

We have enjoyed the perusal of this work greatly, which, making due allowance for the author's enthusiasm, and for the fact that he wrote under the influence of all the excitement of the war, can not fail to be both instructive and amusing. The map and illustrations to the book are excellent; the engravings especially are exceedingly well printed, and add greatly to the elegance of an otherwise well got up volume.

London Athenæum.

The best merit of a book like Major Nichols's is, that it offers us a glimpse of the daily life of men in the camp, as well as a record of great events. We like to sit by the pine log and see how the Boston poet and the Western farmer play at the game of warcatching, mayhap, at pictures which help us to understand the camp life of our own great civil wars.

London Spectator.

An excellent little volume, useful not merely or chiefly to the military student, but useful to the general reader. It is a valuable contribution to history, having the merit of entertaining as well as enlightening a contemporary reading public.

Pall Mall Gazette.

With this novel bit of description we lay down one of the most interesting books which have as yet been written upon the war.

London Examiner.

This "Story of the Great March" may fairly take rank in the category to which the works of the ancient Greek and the modern Gaul belong-the conclusion to which it points being of equal importance to the time to which it relates.

PUBLISHED BY HARPER & BROTHERS, FRANKLIN SQUARE, NEW YORK.

Either of the above works sent by mail, pos'age prepaid, to any part of the United States, on receipt of $2 00.
