NEW AND EXTRAORDINARY (Copyright) WORK. Price 1s. 6d., in fancy boards,

(UNIFORM WITH AND A COMPANION TO "THE LAMPLIGHTER.") THE WATCHMAN.

An Interesting and Moral Tale of Domestic Life.
By J. A. MAITLAND.

From numerous Critiques the following are selected-viz.:

"Is a story of humble life: the Author's aim throughout is to inculcate a love of truth and benevolence, and to make fiction founded on the incidents of real life a vehicle through which lessons of virtue and religion may be conveyed, and instruction blended with amusement."Statesman, Ohio.

"The Watchman' may be read with advantage by all. The moral it inculcates is, that eventual success awaits the efforts of those who earnestly strive to do their duty to God and man. This book will be a fitting companion to The Lamplighter.""-Advocate, York.

"It is beautifully written, and for a purpose the highest that can animate a writer. Readers of that intensely-interesting work, The Lamplighter,' should not fail to read The Watchman.""-Daily Times.

"A tale of real life-a plain, unvarnished narrative of the humble and unfortunate; one of the short but simple annals of the poor."-Albany Express.

The Watchman,' a companion to The Lamplighter.' This is a story of humble life, the region of such romance as contributes to the best moral development of man in society."-The Author's Aim.

"Is a book that all persons may read with pleasure and profit; to the aged and the young it possesses an equal interest. It does not contain a single exaggerated character nor a forced incident, yet it abounds in force, and is of a powerful effect. It bids fair to attain a greater popularity than any work that has been issued from the press for a long time."-New York Daily Times.

NOW READY,-THE TWENTY-SECOND THOUSAND, Price 1s., boards, of

FEMALE LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS. BY THE WIFE OF A MORMON ELDER.

"This is a reprint from an American book; and we should be well pleased to see it extensively circulated wherever the absurd delusions of Mormonism prevail. It is a relation of facts: the authoress experienced what she relates for the warning of others. We get at the practical everyday life of the Mormons, in all its details; and we think that more astounding revelations were never made. There is a large amount of matter in the volume, for the whole subject is illustrated most extensively; and it will be worth the while of respectable persons to put in the way of their ignorant neighbours in country places where Mormon agents are at work."-Cambridge Chronicle.
