 " Golden volumes ! richest treasures! 
 " Objects of delicious pleasures f 
 " You my eyes rejoicing please, 
 " Tou my hands in rapture seize ! 
 " Brilliant wits, and musing sages, 
 " Lights who beamed through many ages, 
 " Left to your conscious leaves their story, 
 " And dared to trust you with their glory. 
 " And now their hope of fame achieved, 
 
 " Dear volumes! you have not deceived.'''' Dr. Syntax. 
 
 He that will have no 'books but those that are scarce, evinces about as correct a taste in literature as he 
 would do in fHendship, who would have no friends but those whom all the rest of the world have sent to 
 the state prison — M. Hornrloweu. 
 
 Self-Knowledge. — Who seeth not how great is the advantage arising from this knowledge, and what 
 misery must attend our mistakes concerning it f For he., who is possessed of it, not only knoweth himself, 
 but knoweth what is best for him. He perceiveth what he can and what he cannot do; he applieth himself 
 to the one, he gaineth what is necessary, and is happy ; he attempts not the other, and, therefore, incurs 
 neither distress nor disappointment Xenophon. 
 
 " If you wish to become learned and useful, famed and ivise, read. Foster not that morbid appetite to 
 devour the trashy literature of this prolific age. Converse with the grand, instructive and solid authors of 
 every age. Spend your spare moments, 1 those neglected scraps of time.'' in string your mind with the 
 j 'acts, events and instructive lessons derived from a well digested course of reading . If you wish to revel 
 in the sublimities of nature — dive into the deep intricacies of the human heart — expand the intellect and 
 senMbili'ies of your own bosom, and refresh yourself with the wondrous charms of history, poetry, science 
 and genercd literature, read and bewise." Loud Chesterfield.

 BIBLIOTHECA AMERICANA. 
 
 Consisting of a series of reprints of rare old books and pamphlets, relating to 
 the early settlement of North America; namely, History, Biography, Topography, 
 Narrative and Poetry. Each book or pamphlet, reprinted accurately and care- 
 fully from the original text, with an Historical Introduction and copious Notes, 
 illustrative, biographical, historical, &c, &c.

 No. 3. Miller, John. — A Description of the Province and City of 
 New York, with the plans of the City and several Forts as they existed in the

 an Introduction and copious Historical and Biographical Notes, by Edward 
 Armstrong, Esq. New York, 1865. $2.50. 
 
 The above four books, touching the early history of the New World, 
 were all produced by residents at the time on the spot, and witnesses 
 to what they relate. In consequence, like all fragments or large trea- 
 tises, written by eye-witnesses, they possess an interest and authority not 
 connected with the works of copyists or reproducers. These new editions are 
 vastly enhanced in intrinsic value by the Historical and Biographical Notes, 
 added by their respective editors, all well known as being amply capable of 
 doing justice, as commentators on American subjects. Copies of the original 
 editions of these books are worth $100. Budd cost $150. 
 
 The edition of the small paper copies was quite limited, and only fifty 
 copies each of the large paper were produced. These volumes will hereafter 
 possess a value far exceeding the originals, for this two-fold reason : First, 
 there are but few produced : and second, they constitute as it were, landmarks 
 in the early history of the North American Colonies, as well as divers other 
 parts of the new found land of America. 
 
 No. 5. Alsop's Maryland. — An Account of the first settlement 
 of Maryland in 1665, by George Alsop. In preparation and will shortly 
 be published : to match the above.
