 New Works published The Illustrated Knickerbocker, With a series of Original Designs, in one vol., octavo, is also in preparation. Mr. Putnam has also the honor to announce that he will publish at intervals (in coix- nexion, and uniform with the other collected writings), Mr. Irving 's New Works, now nearly ready for the press : including The Life of Mohammed; The Life of Washington; new volumes of Miscellanies, Biographies, &c. country or in Europe, the publisher confidently believes that the undertaking will meet with a prompt and cordial response. To say this, is perhaps superfluous and impertinent ; for it is a truism that no American book-case (not to say library) can be well filled without the works of Washington Irving; while the English language itself comprises no pure? models of composition. G. P. Putnam has also made arrangements for the early commencement of new work* or new editions of the works of Miss C. M. Sedgewick, Prof. rf. Gray, Leigh Hunt, Chas. Fenno Hoffman, Mrs E Oakes Smith, Thomas Carlyle, George H. C a /vert, Mrs. C. M. Kirkland, R Monckton Milnes T J. Bayard Taylor, Mary Howitt, Mm. Jameson, . Wells Williams, W. M.
