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.
THE WESTERN MERCHANT.
A NARRATIVE,
Containing useful Instruction for the Western Man of Business, who makes his Purchases in the East. Also, Information for the Eastern Man, whose Customers are in the West. Likewise, Hints for those who design emigrating to the West. De- duced from actual experience.
BY LUKE SHORTFIELD, A WESTERN MERCHANT. One volume, 12mo.
This is a new work, and will be found very interesting to the Country Merchant, &c. &c. A sprightly, pleasant book, with a vast amount of information in a very agreeable shape. Busi- ness, Love, and Religion are all discussed, and many proper sentiments expressed in regard to each. The "moral" of the work is summed up in the following concluding sentences : "Adhere stead- fastly to your business ; adhere steadfastly to your first love ; adhere steadfastly to the church."

" That our daughters may be as polished corners of the temple."
The publishers sincerely hope (for the happiness of mankind) that a copy of this valuable little work will be found the companion of every young lady, as much of the happiness of every family depends on the proper cultivation of the female mind.
THE DAUGHTER'S OWN BOOK:
OR, PRACTICAL HINTS FROM A FATHER TO HIS DAUGHTER. One volume, 18mo.
This is one of the most practical and truly valuable treatises on the culture and discipline of the female mind, which has hitherto been published in this country ; and the publishers are very confi- dent, from the great demand for this invaluable little work, that ere long it will be found in the library of every young lady. 1
THE AMERICAN CHESTERFIELD :
Or, "Youth's Guide to the Way to Wealth, Honour, and Distinction," &c. 18mo. CONTAINING ALSO A COMPLETE TREATISE ON THE ART OF CARVING.

NEW SONG - BOOK.
Brigg's Southern and Western Songater;
BEING A CHOICE COLLECTION OF THE MOST FASHIONABLE SONGS, MANY OF WHICH ARE ORIGINAL. In one volume, 18mo.
Great care was taken, in the selection, to admit no song that contained. in the slightest degree, any indelicate or improper allusions ; and with great propriety it may claim the title of "The Par- lour Song-Book, or Songster." The immortal Shakspeare observes -
" The man that hath not music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils."

UNCLE TOBY AND CORPORAL TRIM. 1 BY L. STERNE. Beautifully Illustrated by Darley. Stitched.

THE LIFE OF GENERAL JACKSON, WITH A LIKENESS OF THE OLD HERO. One volume, 18mo.
LIFE OF PAUL JONES.
In one volume, 12mo. WITH ONE HUNDRED ILLUSTRATIONS. BY JAMES HAMILTON.
The work is compiled from his original journals and correspondence, and includes an account of his services in the American Revolution, and in the war between the Russians and Turks in the Black Sea. There is scarcely any Naval Hero, of any age, who combined in his character so much of the adventurous, skilful and daring, as Paul Jones. The incidents of his life are almost as start- ling and absorbing as those of romance. His achievements during the American Revolution -the fight between the Bon Homme Richard and Serapis, the most desperate naval action on record - and the alarm into which, with so small a force, he threw the coasts of England and Scotland - are matters comparatively well known to Americans; but the incidents of his subsequent career have been veiled in obscurity, which is dissipated by this biography. A book like this, narrating the actions of such a man, ought to meet with an extensive sale, and become as popular as Robinson Crusoe in fiction, or Weems's Life of Marion and Washington, and similar books, in fact. It con- tains 400 pages, has a handsome portrait and medallion likeness of Jones, and is illustrated with numerous original wood engravings of naval scenes and distinguished men with whom he was familiar.

"It is by far the fullest and most interesting biography of General Taylor that we have ever seen." -Richmond ( Whig) Chronicle.
"On the whole, we are satisfied that this volume is the most correct and comprehensive one yet published." - Hunt's Merchants' Magazinc.
" The superiority of this edition over the ephemeral publications of the day consists in fuller and more authentic accounts of his family, his early life, and Indian wars. The narrative of his pro- ceedings in Mexico is drawn partly from reliable private letters, but chiefly from his own official correspondence."
"It forms a cheap, substantial, and attractive volume, and one which should be read at the fire- side of every family who desire a faithful and true life of the Old General."
