ich we allude. Na'theless, he must
'squeeze out more of his whey.' . . . THE admirers of one of the most
popular contributors that this Magazine ever enjoyed, will be glad to meet
with the following announcement:
'BURGESS, STRINGER AND COMPANY, corner of Broadway and Ann-street,
New-York, have in press the Literary Remains of the late WILLIS
GAYLORD CLARK, including the _Ollapodiana Papers_, with several
other of his Prose Writings, not less esteemed by the public;
including also his '_Spirit of Life_,' a choice but comprehensive
selection from his Poetical Contributions to the Literature of his
Country; together with a Memoir: to be edited by his twin-brother,
LEWIS GAYLORD CLARK, Editor of the KNICKERBOCKER Magazine. The
publishers do not consider it necessary for them to enlarge upon
the character of the writings which will compose the above volume.
The series of papers under the title of _Ollapodiana_ will be
remembered with admiration and pleasure, by readers in every
section of the United States. Their rich variety of subject; their
alternate humor and pathos; the one natural, quiet, and
irresistibly laughable; the other warm from the heart, and
touching in its tenderness and beauty; won for them the cordial
and unanimous praise of the press throughout the Union, and
frequent laudatory notices from the English journals.
Reminiscences of early days; expositions of the Ludicrous and the
Burlesque, in amusing Anecdote; Limnings from Nature; and 'Records
of the Heart,' were among their prominent characteristics. It is
not too much to say of the other Prose Writings which the volume
will contain, that although of a somewhat different character,
they are in no respect inferior to the _Ollapodiana_, in their
power to awaken and sustain interest. The _Poetical Writings_ of
Mr. CLARK are too well known to require comment. They have long
been thoroughly established in the national heart, and have
secured for the writer an enviable reputation abroad.'
The work will be embraced in four numbers, of ninety-six~pages each,
stereotyped upon new types in the best manner, and printed upon fine white
paper; and the price will be but twenty-five cents for each number. Need
we ask the interest of our friends, of the friends of the Departed, in
behalf of the volume in question? . . . THE ITALIAN OPERA, at Sig. PALMO'S
