The End
Important Literary and Scientific Works, Published by Gould and Lincoln, 59 Washington Street, Boston
ANNUAL OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY;
This work, commenced in the year 1850, and issued in the month of January, annually, embraces an enumeration and description of every important Invention, Discovery, or Scientific Theory, reported during the year. Each volume is distinct in itself, and contains ENTIRELY NEW MATTER, with a fine portrait of some person distinguished for his attainments in science and art.
LAKE SUPERIOR;
THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS.
This masterly production, which has excited so much interest in this country and in Europe, will now have increased attraction in the Supplement, in which the author’s reviewers are triumphantly reviewed.
COMPARATIVE ANATOMY OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
This is unquestionably the best and most complete work of its class ever yet published.
It is surpassed by no work before the American public. We hope that every teacher among our readers will examine the work and put the justness of our remarks to the test of his judgment and experience.—M. B. Anderson, LL. D.—[Pres. of Rochester University, N. Y.
This is just such a work as is needed for all our schools. It should take its place as a text-book in all the schools of the land.—[N. Y. Observer.
THE EARTH AND MAN.
INFLUENCE OF THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE UPON INTELLECTUAL EDUCATION.
PRINCIPLES OF ZOÖLOGY.
This work places us in possession of information half a century in advance of all our elementary works on this subject.—Prof. James Hall.
A work emanating from so high a source hardly requires commendation to give it currency. Simple and elementary in its style, full in its illustrations, comprehensive in its range.—[Silliman’s Journal.
The best book of the kind in our language.—[Christian Examiner.
Zoology is an interesting science, and is here treated with a masterly hand.—[Scientific American.
THE LANDING AT CAPE ANNE;
GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE UNITED STATES AND BRITISH PROVINCES.
→ The Map is elegantly colored, and done up with linen cloth back, and folded in octavo form, with thick cloth covers.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
CYCLOPÆDIA OF ANECDOTES OF LITERATURE AND THE FINE ARTS.
This is unquestionably the choicest collection of anecdotes ever published. It contains three thousand and forty Anecdotes, and more than one hundred and fifty Illustrations. It is admirably adapted to literary and scientific men, to artists, mechanics, and others, as a Dictionary for reference, in relation to facts on the numberless subjects and characters introduced.
KITTO’S POPULAR CYCLOPÆDIA OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE.
This work answers the purpose of a commentary, while at the same time it furnishes a complete Dictionary of the Bible, embodying the products of the best and most recent researches in biblical literature, in which the scholars of Europe and America have been engaged. It is not only intended for ministers and theological students, but is also particularly adapted to parents, Sabbath-school teachers, and the great body of the religious public.
HISTORY OF PALESTINE.
Beyond all dispute this is the best historical compendium of the Holy Land, from the days of Abraham to those of the late Pasha of Egypt, Mehemet Ali.—[Edinburgh Review.
→ In the numerous notices and reviews, the work has been strongly recommended, as not only admirably adapted to the family, but also as a text-book for Sabbath and week day schools.
CHAMBERS’S CYCLOPÆDIA OF ENGLISH LITERATURE.
This work embraces about one thousand authors, chronologically arranged and classed as Poets, Historians, Dramatists, Philosophers, Metaphysicians, Divines, etc., with choice selections from their writings, connected by a Biographical, Historical, and Critical Narrative; thus presenting a complete view of English literature from the earliest to the present time. Let the reader open where he will, he cannot fail to find matter for profit and delight. The selections are gems—infinite riches in a little room; in the language of another, “A whole English Library fused down into one cheap book!”
CHAMBERS’S MISCELLANY OF USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING KNOWLEDGE.
CHAMBERS’S HOME BOOK AND POCKET MISCELLANY.
This work is fully equal, if not superior, to either of the Chambers’s other works in interest, containing a vast fund of valuable information, furnishing ample variety for every class of readers.
CHAMBERS’S REPOSITORY OF INSTRUCTIVE AND AMUSING PAPERS.
VALUABLE WORKS
PUBLISHED BY
GOULD AND LINCOLN,
59 WASHINGTON STREET, BOSTON.
THE CHRISTIAN’S DAILY TREASURY.
A work for every Christian. It is indeed a “Treasury” of good things.
THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST;
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE,
The demand for this extraordinary work, commencing before its publication, is still eager and constant. There is but one voice respecting it; men of all denominations agree in pronouncing it one of the most admirable works of the age.
GOD REVEALED IN THE PROCESS OF CREATION,
PHILOSOPHY OF THE PLAN OF SALVATION.
By an American Citizen. An Introductory Essay, by Calvin E. Stowe, D. D.
This book is generally admitted to be one of the best in the English language. The work has been translated into several different languages in Europe. A capital book to circulate among young men.
A WREATH AROUND THE CROSS;
THE BETTER LAND;
A most charming and instructive book for all now journeying to the “Better Land,” and especially for those who have friends already entered upon its never-ending joys.
THE MISSION OF THE COMFORTER.
DR. WAYLAND’S UNIVERSITY SERMON
THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD.
SACRED RHETORIC;
THE PREACHER AND THE KING;
It combines substantial history with the highest charm of romance. Its attractions are so various that it can hardly fail to find readers of almost every description.—[Puritan Recorder.
THE PRIEST AND THE HUGUENOT;
→ This is truly a masterly production, full of interest, and may be set down as one of the greatest Protestant works of the age.
FOOTSTEPS OF OUR FOREFATHERS.
An exceedingly entertaining work. The reader soon becomes so deeply entertained that he finds it difficult to lay aside the book till finished.—[Ch. Parlor Mag.
A work absorbingly interesting, and very instructive.—[Western Lit. Magazine.
MEMORIALS OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY.
→ This, like the “Footsteps of our Forefathers,” will be found a work of uncommon interest.
This is one of the most charming books that have issued from the press for a long period. “It is,” says a distinguished author, “one of those rare pictures painted from life with the exquisite skill of one of the ‘Old Masters,’ which so seldom present themselves to the amateur.”
THE EXCELLENT WOMAN.
→ This elegant volume is an appropriate and valuable “gift book” for the husband to present the wife, or the child the mother.
MEMORIES OF A GRANDMOTHER.
THE MARRIAGE RING;
A beautiful volume, and a very suitable present to a newly-married couple.—[N. Y. Christian Intelligencer.
“We have by us another work, the ‘Life of Amos Lawrence.’ We heard it once said in the pulpit, ‘There is no work of art like a noble life,’ and for that reason he who has achieved one, takes rank with the great artists and becomes the world’s property. We are proud of this book. We are willing to let it go forth to other lands as a specimen of what America can produce. In the old world, reviewers have called Barnum the characteristic American man. We are willing enough to admit that he is a characteristic American man: he is one fruit of our soil, but Amos Lawrence is another. Let our country have credit for him also. The good effect which this Life may have in determining the course of young men to honor and virtue is incalculable.”—Mrs. Stowe, in N. Y. Independent.
“We are glad to know that our large business houses are purchasing copies of this work for each of their numerous clerks. Its influence on young men cannot be otherwise than highly salutory. As a business man, Mr. Lawrence was a pattern for the young clerk.”—Boston Traveller.
“We are thankful for the volume before us. It carries us back to the farm-house of Mr. Lawrence’s birth, and the village store of his first apprenticeship. It exhibits a charity noble and active, while the young merchant was still poor. And above all, it reveals to us a beautiful cluster of sister graces, a keen sense of honor, integrity which never knew the shadow of suspicion, candor in the estimate of character, filial piety, rigid fidelity in every domestic relation, and all these connected with and flowing from steadfast religious principle, profound sentiments of devotion, and a vivid realization of spiritual truth.”—North American Review.
“We are glad that American Biography has been enriched by such a contribution to its treasures. In all that composes the career of ‘the good man,’ and the practical Christian, we have read few memoirs more full of instruction, or richer in lessons of wisdom and virtue. We cordially unite in the opinion that the publication of this memoir was a duty owed to society.”—National Intelligencer.
“With the intention of placing it within the reach of a large number, the mere cost price is charged, and a more beautifully printed volume, or one calculated to do more good, has not been issued from the press of late years.”—Evening Gazette.
“This book, besides being of a different class from most biographies, has another peculiar charm. It shows the inside life of the man. You have, as it were, a peep behind the curtain, and see Mr. Lawrence as he went in and out among business men, as he appeared on change, as he received his friends, as he poured out, ‘with liberal hand and generous heart,’ his wealth for the benefit of others, as he received the greetings and salutations of children, and as he appeared in the bosom of his family at his own hearth stone.”—Brunswick Telegraph.
“It is printed on new type, the best paper, and is illustrated by four beautiful plates. How it can be sold for the price named is a marvel.”—Norfolk Co. Journal.
“It was first privately printed, and a limited number of copies were distributed among the relatives and near friends of the deceased. This volume was read with the deepest interest by those who were so favored as to obtain a copy, and it passed from friend to friend as rapidly as it could be read. Dr. Lawrence has yielded to the general wish, and made public the volume. It will now be widely circulated, will certainly prove a standard work, and be read over and over again.”—Boston Daily Advertiser.

SUPPLEMENTARY CATALOGUE
OF
VALUABLE WORKS,
RECENTLY PUBLISHED.
This book treats of a subject of great interest, especially at the present time. It furnishes a more complete and reliable account of the Camel than any other in the language: Indeed, it is believed that there is no other. It is the result of long study, extensive research, and much personal observation on the part the author; and it has been prepared with special reference to the experiment of domesticating the Camel in this country, now going on under the auspices of the United States government. It is written in a style worthy of the distinguished author’s reputation for great learning and fine scholarship.
This edition has been thoroughly revised by the author, with the view of making the work scrupulously accurate. The map is the first correct one of the Nestorian country yet published. The work itself is one of the most permanently valuable of its class, while it presents a full view of the life and labors of the heroic missionary whose name it bears; it also makes the reader familiar with the striking features of a country which, both in ancient and modern times, has been memorable in history. It embraces the scene of Xenophon’s immortal Anabasis, the site of Nineveh, that mighty seat of ancient civilization, and the cities of Kars and Erzerum, so recently the scene of deadly strife between the Russians and the Allies.
ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES;
Or, THE BIBLE PRESENTED UNDER DISTINCT AND CLASSIFIED HEADS OR TOPICS.
BY JOHN EADIE, D. D., LL. D.,
Author of “Biblical Cyclopedia,” “Ecclesiastical Cyclopedia,” “Early Oriental History,” “Dictionary of the Bible,” etc. etc. One volume. Octavo. P. 886. (in press.) The subjects are arranged as follows, viz.:
Agriculture,
Animals,
Architecture,
Army, Arms,
Body,
Canaan,
Covenant,
Diet and Dress,
Disease and Death,
Earth,
Family,
Genealogy,
God,
Heaven,
Idolatry, Idols,
Jesus Christ,
Jews,
Laws,
Magistrates,
Man,
Marriage,
Metals and Minerals,
Ministers of Religion,
Miracles,
Occupations,
Ordinances,
Parables and Emblems,
Persecution,
Praise and Prayer,
Prophecy,
Providence,
Redemption,
Sabbaths and Holy Days,
Sacrifice,
Scriptures,
Speech,
Spirits,
Tabernacle and Temple,
Vineyard and Orchard,
Visions and Dreams,
War,
Water.
The object of this Concordance is to present the entire Scriptures under a certain classified and exhaustive heads. It differs from and ordinary Concordance, in that its arrangement depends no on words, but on subjects, and the verses are printed in full. Its plan does not bring it at all into competition with such limited works as those of Gaston and Warden; for they select doctrinal topics principally, and do not profess to comprehend, as we do, the entire Bible. The work also contains a Synoptical Table of Contents of the whole work, presenting in brief a system of biblical antiquities and theology, with a very copious and accurate index.
The value of this work to ministers and Sabbath school teachers can hardly be over-estimated; and it needs but to be examined to secure the approval and patronage of every Bible student.
