It is from the pen of Mr. T.S. Arthur—the
story of two families, one of which prospers by the
union of good-will which prevails among the brothers,
and leads them always to aid each other in their
worldly undertakings; while the other goes to
rack and ruin, because the brothers always act
upon the maxim, “Every one for himself.”
The moral is excellent, and cannot be too earnestly
and widely inculcated.
Mr. Bradley has produced this

GOLDEN GRAINS FROM LIFE’S HARVEST FIELD,
bound in full gilt, with a beautiful mezzotint engraving, 12mo, 240 pages.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
It is not too much to say, that the Golden Grains here presented to the reader, are such as will be productive of a far greater amount of human happiness than those, in search of which, so many are willing to risk domestic peace, health, and even life itself, in a distant and inhospitable region.
These narratives, like all of those which proceed from the same able pen, are remarkable not only for their entertaining and lively pictures of actual life, but for their admirable moral tendency.
It is printed in excellent
style, and embellished with a
mezzotint engraving.
We cordially recommend it to the favour
of our readers.—Godey’s
Lady’s Magazine.
TRUE RICHES; or, WEALTH WITHOUT WINGS,
12mo, 210 pages, with a fine mezzotint Frontispiece.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
This volume is written by T.S. Arthur, the most popular of all our American writers on domestic subjects. His intention is to direct the reader to the real riches of life, the wealth which cannot be taken away by the adverse events of fortune. The true wisdom of life, he shows us, is to place our fortune in ourselves, to make our own minds rich in intellectual treasures, and our hearts true to the legitimate purposes and ends of life. When the doctrine of this little volume becomes universally prevalent, a new era of happiness will dawn upon mankind.—Godey’s Lady’s Book.
Mr. Arthur, in this volume, impresses upon his readers the importance of laying up treasures in the really profitable way—moral and intellectual treasures, which, in all the storms of ill-fortune, never leave their possessor without ample resources. The world acknowledges the truth of his moral, but often forgets to reduce it to practice. It therefore, becomes the duty of the world’s moral teachers, of which Mr. Arthur is one of the most successful, to impress the truth by a well-written narrative.—Scott’s Weekly.
