DR. BROWN’S WRITINGS.
Reading edition
SPARE HOURS;
BY JOHN BROWN, M. D.
1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
The author of “Rab and his Friends” scarcely needs an introduction to American readers. By this time many have learned to agree, with a writer in the NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, that “Rab” is, all things considered, the most perfect prose narrative since Lamb’s “Rosamond Gray.”
[From the LONDON TIMES, October 21.]
“Of all the John Browns, commend us to Dr. John Brown, the physician, the man of genius, the humorist, the student of men, women, and dogs. By means of two beautiful volumes he has given the public a share of his by-hours, and more pleasant hours it would be difficult to find in any life.
“Dr. Brown’s master-piece is the story of a dog called ‘Rab.’ The tale moves from the most tragic pathos to the most reckless humor, and could not have been written but by a man of genius. Whether it moves to laughter or to tears, it is perfect in its way, and immortalizes its author.”
RAB AND HIS FRIENDS.
3d edition. 1 vol. 16mo. Paper. 15 cents.
[From the MORNING HERALD.]
“Who is he that has not heard of, if not read, ‘Rab and his Friends’? We suppose that there have been few stories ever printed which, in so short a time, won for their author fame. Certainly never was a story so short and so pathetic, so full of joyous tears, so brimming with the actions from which spring sacred pity. We do not envy the man, and we cannot imagine the woman or girl, who could read the story of ‘Rab and his Friends’ without tears actual or imminent.”
[From CHAMBERS’ JOURNAL.]
“What Landseer is upon canvas, that Dr. Brown is upon paper. The canine family was never before so well represented in literature.”

MR. LONGFELLOW’S NEW VOLUME.

THE GREAT BATTLE BOOK.
TICKNOR & FIELDS have just published
My Days and Nights on the Battle-Field.
BY “CARLETON.”
1 vol. 12mo. Profusely illustrated with Engravings, Maps, and Diagrams. $1.00.
The object of this book is to tell the youth of America, in plain and simple terms,
THE CAUSES OF THE REBELLION;
to give them an idea of the valor and courage of their fathers and brothers, who are now upholding the national cause by fighting
THE BATTLES OF THEIR COUNTRY.
With this view, the author has given authentic and vivid descriptions of some of the most important battles of the war, drawn from his own personal observations, and has thus made his work at once an ABSORBING NARRATIVE and a TRUTHFUL HISTORY of the war.
All parents who desire their sons to have a clear and distinct idea of the nature of the struggle through which the country is passing, should buy this book. “CARLETON,” the author, is well known as one of the best and most reliable of the army correspondents.
