GUIZOT'S GIBBON THE HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND

FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE: By EDWARD GIBBON, Esq. A New Edition, revised and corrected throughout, preceded by a Preface, and accompanied by Notes, critical and historical, relating principally to the propagation of Christianity: by M. F. GUIZOT, Minister of Public Instruction for the kingdom of France. The Preface, Notes, and Corrections, translated from the French expressly for this edition. With a Notice of the Life and Character of Gibbon, and Watson's Reply to Gibbon. In 2 vols. imp. 8vo., 1073 pp.-sheep, marble edges. Price $6 00.

We have the pleasure of presenting the following notice of Guizot's Gibbon, from the Committee of Selection, to he patrons of the Historical Family Library :

The great work of Gibbon embraces a long and interesting period of history, respecting which the English reader nas few other sources of information. The vast amount of facts which it embodies, and their skillful exhibition, will lways render it a popular work.

This edition, with ample corrections, was first prepared in Paris, in 1812, by M. Guizot, who has since so highly listinguished himself as a minister of state, and the head of one of the political parties in France.

Though this is a work of such acknowledged importance and merit, it has never yet appeared in an English dress. The translations of Guizo's Notes and Corrections, by a person every way qualified for the task, has greatly enhanced the value of a work which, from its first appearance, has been regarded as a standard in English Historical Literature.

The Family Magazine.--This is a valuable work for families, adorned with a multitude of engravings, illustrative of the various objects in nature, or productions of art, described in the magazine.

BY J. G. NORWOOD, M. D.

"Among the American writers whose works have been freely put in requisition
for this work, may be mentioned-Doctors Rush, Chapman, Caldwell, Cook, Barton,
James, Dudley, Eberle, Short, Drake, Dewees, Yandell, Dunglison, and Cartwright.
Also to the labors of Cooper, Abernethy, Burns, Mackintosh, Armstrong, Johnson,
Thomas, and other English writers, who stand at the head of their profession in their
own country. The object, throughout the entire work, being to give the history,
characteristic, symptoms, progress, and termination of all common diseases, in as
correct, simple, and intelligible terms as possible, suited to the capacities of all who
ought, in any event, to undertake the treatment of a disease, in the termination of
which human life may be at stake."

"It is not intended to induce people to neglect medical assistance, and place too
great confidence in their own discrimination; but to enable families to make prompt
use of suitable remedies in sudden attacks of illness, and in case of accidents, when
the services of a physician cannot be immediately procured."

"To render this work more generally useful, however, as well as more acceptable
to the intelligent part of mankind, I have, in most diseases, besides regimen, recom-
mended some of the most simple and approved forms of medicine, and added such
cautions and directions as seemed necessary for their safe administration."-[Ex-
tracts from Preface.
