, are laid in the city of New York; and most
glowingly the author pictures to us how the guilty may, for a time,
escape the justice of the law, but only to feel the heavy hand of
retribution sooner or later; how vice may, for a time, triumph over
virtue, but only for a time; how crime may lie concealed, until its very
security breeds exposure; how true virtue gives way to no temptation,
but bears the ills of life with patience, hoping for a better day, and
rejoices triumphant in the end. In short, from base hypocrisy he tears
the veil that hides its huge deformity, and gives a true picture of life
as it exists in the crowded city. We do cordially recommend this book
for its excellent moral. It is one that should be circulated, for it
_must_ do good.

Price for the complete work, in one volume, in paper cover, Fifty Cents
only; or a finer edition, printed on thicker and better paper, and
handsomely bound in one volume, muslin, gilt, is published for One
Dollar.
