years."--EVENING GAZETTE.
"This book, besides being of a different class from most
biographies, has another peculiar charm. It shows the inside
life of the man. You have, as it were, a peep behind the
curtain, and see Mr. Lawrence as he went in and out among
business men, as he appeared on change, as he received his
friends, as he poured out, 'with liberal hand and generous
heart,' his wealth for the benefit of others, as he received
the greetings and salutations of children, and as he appeared
in the bosom of his family at his own hearth stone."--BRUNSWICK
TELEGRAPH.
"It is printed on new type, the best paper, and is illustrated
by four beautiful plates. How it can be sold for the price
named is a marvel."--NORFOLK CO. JOURNAL.
"It was first privately printed, and a limited number of copies
were distributed among the relatives and near friends of the
deceased. This volume was read with the deepest interest by
those who were so favored as to obtain a copy, and it passed
from friend to friend as rapidly as it could be read. Dr.
Lawrence has yielded to the general wish, and made public the
volume. It will now be widely circulated, will certainly prove
a standard work, and be read over and over again."--BOSTON

THE CAMEL: His Organization, Habits and Uses, considered with reference
to his Introduction into the United States. By GEORGE P. MARSH, late
U. S. Minister at Constantinople. 16mo, cloth. 75 cents.
This book treats of a subject of great interest, especially at the
present time. It furnishes a more complete and reliable account of the
Camel than any other in the language: Indeed, it is believed that there
is no other. It is the result of long study, extensive research, and
much personal observation on the part the author; and it has been
prepared with special reference to the experiment of domesticating the
Camel in this country, now going on under the auspices of the United
States government. It is written in a style worthy of the distinguished
author's reputation for great learning and fine scholarship.
