Such treasures, we think, as have never before been offered to American buyers. Catalogues may be had by application to the Auctioneers, or to SIDNEY S. RIDER, Providence, R. I. VOL. XXIII., No. 15.

The well-rounded and graceful culture of the author of "Men and Books" is too well known to need mention, and the subject of which this book treats has been so exemplified in his previous writings that it would be difficult to name another writer who could so surely be selected as an authority in all that pertains to the correct and elegant use of the English language.
