“The narrative includes some daring adventures which would make timid blood shudder at their magnitude.... This work abounds in interest, and is written in a style of great vigour and elegance.”--_Weekly Times._
“The work does not want to be invested with any fictitious interest; and the talent which is visible in its pages is its best recommendation to public favour.”--_Morning Post._
“The attempt was a bold and hazardous one, but it has been fully successful. We have rarely read a production of deeper interest--of interest sustained from the first page to the last. It has been conceived in a fine spirit; the several characters are ably painted.... He is as much at home on the ocean, and there are many scenes on ship-board equal to the best of the great sea-lord, the author of ‘The Spy.’”--_New Monthly Magazine._

PRINCIPLES OF THE ART OF MODERN HORSEMANSHIP FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IN WHICH ALL THE LATE IMPROVEMENTS ARE APPLIED TO PRACTICE.
Translated from the French, by DANIEL J. DESMOND.
THE ART OR HORSEMANSHIP.--This is the title of a neat little work translated from the French of Mr. Lebeaud, by Daniel J. Desmond, Esq, of this city, and just published by Carey & Hart. It gives full and explicit directions for breaking and managing a horse, and goes into detail on the proper mode of mounting, the posture in the saddle, the treatment of the animal under exercise, &c. An appendix is added, containing instructions for the _ladies_, in mounting and dismounting.
The Philadelphia public are under obligations to Mr. Desmond for this translation. We have long needed a manual of horsemanship, to correct the inelegant habits in which many of our riders indulge, and to produce uniformity in the art of equitation. We see daily in our streets, mounted men, who totter in their seats as if suffering under an ague-fit; others who whip, spur, and rant, as if charging an enemy in battle; and again others, of slovenly habits, with cramped knees, and toes projecting outwards, who occupy a position utterly devoid of every thing like ease, grace, or beauty. These things are discreditable to our community, and earnestly do we hope, that this book will have many attentive readers.--_Philadelphia Gazette._

MATHEMATICS FOR PRACTICAL MEN; BEING A COMMON-PLACE BOOK OF PRINCIPLES, THEOREMS, RULES AND TABLES, IN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF PURE AND MIXED MATHEMATICS,
With their applications; especially to the pursuits of surveyors, architects, mechanics, and civil engineers, with numerous engravings.

SECOND EDITION, CORRECTED AND IMPROVED.
“Only let men awake, and fix their eyes, one while on the nature of things, another while on the application of them to the use and service of mankind.”--_Lord Bacon._
_Extract of a Letter from_ WALTER R. JOHNSON, _Professor of Mechanics and Natural Philosophy in the Franklin Institute_.
“This treatise is intended and admirably calculated to supply the deficiency in the means of mathematical instruction to those who have neither time nor inclination to peruse numerous abstract treatises in the same departments. It has, besides the claims of a good elementary manual, the merit of embracing several of the most interesting and important departments of Mechanics, applying to these the rules and principles embraced in the earlier sections or the work.
“Questions in Statics, Dynamics, Hydrostatics, Hydro-dynamics, &c. are treated with a clearness and precision which must increase the powers of the student over his own intellectual resources by the methodical habits which a perusal of such works cannot fail to impart.
“With respect to Engineering and the various incidents of that important profession, much valuable matter is contained in this volume; and the results of many laborious series of experiments are presented with conciseness and accuracy.”
_Letter from_ ALBERT B. DOD, _Professor of Mathematics in the College of New Jersey_.
“Messrs. CAREY & HART,
“Gentlemen--I am glad to learn that you have published an American edition of Dr. Gregory’s ‘Mathematics for Practical Men.’ I have for some time been acquainted with this work, and I esteem it highly. It contains the best digest, within my knowledge, of such scientific facts and principles, involved in the subjects of which it treats, as are susceptible of direct practical application. While it avoids such details of investigation and processes of mathematical reasoning as would render it unintelligible to the general reader, it equally avoids the sacrifice of precision in its statement of scientific results, which is too often made in popular treatises upon the Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. The author has succeeded to a remarkable degree in collecting such truths as will be found generally useful, and in presenting them in an available form to the practical mechanic. To such, the work cannot be too strongly recommended; and to the student, too, it will often be found highly useful as a book of reference.
“With much respect, “Your obedient servant, “ALBERT B. DOD, “_Professor of Mathematics in the College of New Jersey_.
“Princeton, Nov. 11, 1834.”
_Extract of a Letter from_ EDWARD H. COURTENAY, _Professor of Mathematics in the University if Pennsylvania_.
“The design of the author--that of furnishing a valuable collection of rules and theorems for the use of such as are unable, from the want of time and previous preparation, to investigate mathematical principles--appears to have been very successfully attained in the present volume. The information which it affords in various branches of the pure and mixed Mathematics embraces a great variety of subjects, is arranged conveniently, and is in general conveyed in accurate and concise terms. To THE ENGINEER, THE ARCHITECT, THE MECHANIC--indeed to all for whom results are chiefly necessary--the work will doubtless form a very valuable acquisition.”

WILLIAM C. ROBERTS AND JAS. B. KISSAM.
Copy of a letter from WILLIAM GIBSON, M. D. Professor of Surgery in the University of Pennsylvania.
_Philadelphia, Nov. 5th, 1833._
It gives me pleasure to say that the elementary work on Surgery, by M. Bourgery, and now under translation by Drs. Roberts and Kissam of New York, appears to me _well calculated for the use of students_. So far as I can judge from examination of a small portion of the English text, justice has been done by the translators to the author of the work.
W. GIBSON, M. D. _Professor of Surgery in the University of Pennsylvania._
Copy of a letter from GEORGE M’CLELLAN, M. D. Professor of Surgery in the Jefferson Medical College.
_Philadelphia, Nov. 6th, 1833._
Dear Sirs,
I have examined Bourgery’s manual, or work on Lesser Surgery, and am of opinion that it is an _excellent compend_, which contains a great deal of matter that will be useful to students. The translation which you are about to make, will deserve a large edition, and I have no doubt will meet with a ready sale. Yours truly, GEO. M’CLELLAN.
DRS. ROBERTS AND KISSAM.
