In two volumes, bound in elegant embossed and gilt leather binding, consisting of over 1,600 closely printed large imperial octavo pages. The reproduction of this great work in this country cost over ten thousand dollars ($10,000.) In it the publisher has embodied his idea of a model subscription book. Its authors were nearly ten years in its production, and the American editor has expended great pains in making it a complete work. A peculiar feature in this work is, many of the larger engravings are colored by hand in imitation of nature, and the Map of the World and the Flags of all Nations are also beautifully colored.

The following are a few extracts from the numerous recommendations the "History of the World" has already received: AMHERST COLLEGE, Mass. I have carefully examined "The History of the World," by John Inman, Esq., and find it a work exhibiting great historical research; and it cannot fail to be useful and instructive as a work for genral circulation, and I would therefore recommend it to all. EDWARD HITCHCOCK, President SOUTH HADLEY FALLS, MASS. I am prepared to express my concurrence in the remarks of President Hitchcock. As a book of reference or general history, I think it valuable to all who may possess it, and it must in a great measure supply the place of larger and more expensive works, which few families feel able to possess. REV. L. THOMPSON, From Professor Emerson, of Andover (Mass.) Seminary. I have examined the "History of the World," and think it particularly valuable, especially to such as have not access to more extended works of history; and even to those who have such works, it will often be found an important help, as it brings down the history of the countries to the present time. So far as I have observed, the author appears impartial. RALPH EMERSON. HANOVER COLLEGE, IND. I have examined the "History of the World," and know it to be a work of high character and value, which I can cordially recommend to public patronage. M. STURGUS, Professor of Languages. From the Baltimore Clipper. HISTORY OF THE WORLD.-This new work from the press of Henry Bill, is one of the most magnifie cent issues for a long time. We were shown a copy on Friday, and were highly pleased with its cor tents. It consists of two royal octavo volumes, embellished with forty splendid engravings, and embraces a complete history of all nations and prominent events, and making it invaluable to either the private or public library. From the Norwich (Conn.) Aurora. HISTORY OF THE WORLD.-A very considerable portion of the reading public are already personally acquainted with the merits of the work entitled "The Treasury of History, or a History of the World," published by Mr. Henry Bill of this city. It has met with a more extensive sale, probably, than any other work of a similar character ever issued from the press in this country; and at no time has the demand for it been greater than at present-numerous agents being successfully employed in nearly every State and the most important counties in the Union, in its dissemination; in short, the aim has been to get up precisely such a book as the great mass of the people want, and we congratulate the publisher on his success. That we do not too highly extol the work, every one will admit who has examined it, or who may take the trouble to do so. From the Chicago (Ill.) Tribune. HISTORY OF THE WORLD.-The above is a succinct and accurate description of historical events from the date of the earliest authentic records down to the present time. As a book of reference to the student and professional man, as well as for those who have not leisure to pursue historical studies in detail, we regard it as the very best book that has fallen under our observation.

D. Illustrated with over four hundred engravings, some of which are beautifully colored, consisting of In one large octavo volume, containing over 700 pages, bound in embossed and gilt Some of the most interesting scenes in the great drama of human life have been enacted on the North American Continent. The stirring events connected with its discovery-the establishment of colonies within its bounds-the early Wars of the Spaniards, the French, the Dutch, and the English-the perils of the missionary, the emigrant, and the adventurer-the advance of civilizationthe triumphs of industry-the Revolution and establishment of the Republic, combined with the general development of physical and intellectual progress, impart to the history of North America the fascination of romance. The history and destiny of the United States cannot be well and thoroughly understood without connecting it with that of North America. We must look at the whole of the great picture, to discover the relation which the parts bear to eack other. The publisher was induced to issue this work, observing the want among the masses of a book na tional in its character, which would meet the wants of those even of the smallest means, and at the same time retain the attractive features of more elaborate and expensive books. It has already reached & sale of nearly 20,000 copies. In the English and German Languages.
