ADVERTISEMENT.

IN the preface to a volume of Miscellanies published last year, entitled "PERISOOPICS," the Author intimated his intention to follow it with another volume, "to consist of Essays, Philosophical and Ethical, more bookish in style, and more elaborate in texture."

The volume now offered to the public is a compromise fulfillment of that intention.

About fifty of the miscellaneous articles of that first publication have been replaced in this one by a series of Essays, to give the work its permanent form.

If this book shall afford to its readers but a tithe of the advantages which its production has yielded to its author, all parties will be satisfied.

Not a line in it was produced for the market. It was written under impulse, not under inducement of any kind; and, it is published for those "whom it may concern."

September, 1855.
