The new volume is akin to the former triumphs of this favorite artist, whose " Sketch Hooks " have achieved a popularity unequalled in the history of fine art publications. In the profusion of designs, originality, and delicacy of treatment, the channing sketches of mountain, meadow, lake, and forest scenery of New England here reproduced are unexcelled.

Consul at Glasgow, v.'rites concerning it: " I have never seen anything superior, if equal, to the delicacy and finish of the engravings, and the perfection of the press-work. The copy you sent me has been looked over with evident and unfeigned delight by many people of artistic taste. Every one frankly says, ' It is impossible to produce such effects here," and, whether it is possible or not, I am sure it is ;// t/oiif ; no such effects are produced on this side of the Atlantic. In this combination of art and workmanship, the United States leads the world; and yon have a right to be proud of the honor of presenting such a specimen to the public." ONE YEAR'S SKETCH BOOK. Containing forty-six full- page original illustrations, engraved on wood by Andrew; in same bindings and at sa;ne prices as " Nature's Hallelujah." " P.very thick, creamy page is embellished by some gems of art. Sometimes it is but a da^h and a few trembling strokes; at others an impressive landscape, but in all and through all runs the master touch. Miss Jerome has the genius of an -Angclo, and the execution of a Guido. The beauty of the sketches will be apparent to all, having been taken from our unrivalled New England scenery." — iVasht'iigton Chronicle. THE MESSAGE OF THE BLUEBI RD, Told to Me to Tell to Others.
