HrsrorY OF THs NAVY THE UNITED STATES OF AME


xfc.; By J. FrMtM9Rg COOPER Abridged


volume. Philadephia: Thomas Cosper,hwat &


Co. New-York F. J. Huntington & Co.


Since Mr.. Cooper's work seems destined to rank,
a, least until an9,her war as the standard history
of the American Navy, we rejoice that this Judi
cious ubrdgemcnt Of it has been made The two
large and open octavos are here compressed into
compact one Of 447 pages, from which 30 far
we have examined, nothing is omitted which OF
interest to the general reader. Most of the ex-
eluded matter consists of dissertations Nutional>
policy, the importance and prsper constitution OF;
an effective Na,a' force, &c &c. which is out OF
place in work intended fer popular reading We
srs happy 10 remark that the cunbrous defence
of Com Jesse d. Elliott is also omitted, while all
the ccoua,s of battles. chascs &c. are retained.
Ii our Young readers. whose memories DO not reach
back to the exciting scenes of the Last War, were
bu, aware how far deeper and keener is the inter.
est of this volume than that Of the best novel of the
season. It's perusal would enliven very many fire
side, during the approaching winter evenings.

If animated description, profound research ele
gance of language, and subj ecis full of interest can
recouurend book these volumos will be exten-
sively read. The History of the Mortimer, By
cvI learned couniryman, DR.. Wheaton, has justly
ranked hun among the most elegant scholars, and
profound antquorics of the day; and there are few
works which have been read with greater pleasure
than DR.. Crichton's History of Arabia The cheap
ness with which the Harpers publish their books
in this admirable series is worthy of noti-e. They
sell tn ss two volumes, which run to nearly 400
pages each, of hne printed matter, with map and
eagravinss for 81.
