BY JOEL COOK.

One volume, 12mo, 310 pages, fine cloth, $1; paper cover, 75 cents.

One of the most instructive and best written books of travel that has of late been published in this country. It is a book that statesmen and tourists may read with profit."-Forney's Philadelphia Progress.

"Mr. Cook seemed to grasp, with peculiar aptitude, the salient points of such matters as would naturally attract the attention of a stranger, and his letters were marked with a vigor and freshness most rare, and thoroughly unlike the usual paraphrase of the shilling guide-book imposed upon newspaper readers."-North American.

"No one can read Mr. Cook's correspondence without being impressed with its exceptional merit. He is a good observer; he knows when to speak and when to be silent; what to give and what to withhold. Thus his letters are neither barren nor trivial, and can be read with as much profit as pleasure."-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Valentines are adapted to any kind of store, and pay a larger profit with less risk than any other class of goods.

"The details of the practical experiments by the original Telegraph Companies, as related by the author, who was early appointed a superintendent on some of the principal lines, are often as interesting as a romance, abounding in personal sketches, recitals of perilous adventures, and narratives of obstacles surmounted and difficulties overcome by the courageous and enthusiastic pioneers of the enterprise."-New York Tribune.
