Elegantly bound in cloth. Price $1 00. Being a compilation of the original letters from the immortal Q. K. Philander Doesticks, P. B. (Perfect Brick.) [From N. P. Willis’s Home Journal.] “Things so copied, so talked of, so pulled out of every pocket to be lent to you, so quoted, and so relished and laughed over as Doesticks’ writings, never were launched into print.” PLU-RI-BUS-TAH; A SONG THATS BY NO AUTHOR—A DEED WITHOUT A NAME. Pp. 264. 12mo. Elegantly bound in cloth. Price $1 00. As a History of the country this book is invaluable, inasmuch as it notices a great many events not mentioned by Bancroft, Hildreth, or Prescott. As a Novel it is unapproachable, for it contains several characters unknown to Cooper, Dickens, Marryatt, or Bulwer. As a Mythological Work it should be immediately secured, as it makes mention of a number of gods and deified worthies hitherto unknown to old Jupiter himself. As a Poem, its claims to consideration cannot be denied, as it comprises a great many beauties not discoverable in the “Song of Hiawatha,” besides several Indian names which were therein omitted.
