HARPER'S FAMILY LIBRARY.
_Books that you may hold readily in your hand are the most useful,
after all._--Dr. Johnson.
The above-named series, extending to 173 volumes, comprises a rich and
varied collection of works in the several departments of literature,
forming a most valuable circle of useful, instructive, and entertaining
knowledge, adapted for popular use. The utmost care has been taken,
not only to exclude whatever can have an injurious influence on the
mind, but to embrace every thing calculated to strengthen the best
and most salutary impressions.
No family ought to be without this library, as it furnishes the
readiest resources for that education which ought to accompany
or succeed that of the boarding-school or the academy, and is
infinitely more conducive than either to the cultivation of the
intellect.--_Monthly Review._
