AMOS LAWRENCE.

DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE OF THE LATE AMOS LAWRENCE; with a brief account
of some Incidents in his Life. Edited by his son, WILLIAM R. LAWRENCE,
M. D. With fine steel Portraits of AMOS and ABBOTT LAWRENCE, an Engraving
of their Birth-place, a Fac-simile page of Mr. Lawrence's Hand-writing,
and a copious Index. Octavo edition, cloth, $1.60. Royal duodecimo
edition, $1.00.

This work was first published in an elegant octavo volume, and sold at
the unusually low price of $1.50. At the solicitation of numerous
benevolent individuals who were desirous of circulating the work--so
remarkably adapted to do good, especially to young men--_gratuitously_,
and of giving those of moderate means, of every class, an opportunity of
possessing it, the royal duodecimo, or "_cheap edition_," was issued,
varying from the other edition, only in a reduction in the size
(allowing less margin), and the _thickness_ of the paper.

Within six months after the first publication of this work, _twenty-two
thousand_ copies had been sold. This extraordinary sale is to be
accounted for by the character of the man and the merits of the book. It
is the memoir of a Boston merchant, who became distinguished for his
great wealth, but more distinguished for the manner in which he used it.
It is the memoir of a man, who, commencing business with only $20, gave
away in public and private charities, _during his lifetime more_,
probably than any other person in America. It is substantially an
_autobiography_, containing a full account of Mr. Lawrence's career as a
merchant, of his various multiplied charities, and of his domestic life.

"We have by us another work, the 'Life of Amos Lawrence.' We
heard it once said in the pulpit, 'There is no work of art like
a noble life,' and for that reason he who has achieved one,
takes rank with the great artists and becomes the world's
property. WE ARE PROUD OF THIS BOOK. WE ARE WILLING TO LET IT
GO FORTH TO OTHER LANDS AS A SPECIMEN OF WHAT AMERICA CAN
PRODUCE. In the old world, reviewers have called Barnum THE
characteristic American man. We are willing enough to admit
that he is a characteristic American man: he is ONE fruit of
our soil, but Amos Lawrence is another. Let our country have
credit for him also. THE GOOD EFFECT WHICH THIS LIFE MAY HAVE
IN DETERMINING THE COURSE OF YOUNG MEN TO HONOR AND VIRTUE IS
INCALCULABLE."--MRS. STOWE, IN N. Y. INDEPENDENT.

"We are glad to know that our large business houses are
purchasing copies of this work for each of their numerous
clerks. Its influence on young men cannot be otherwise than
highly salutory. As a business man, Mr. Lawrence was a pattern
for the young clerk."--BOSTON TRAVELLER.

"We are thankful for the volume before us. It carries us back
to the farm-house of Mr. Lawrence's birth, and the village
store of his first apprenticeship. It exhibits a charity noble
and active, while the young merchant was still poor. And above
all, it reveals to us a beautiful cluster of sister graces, a
keen sense of honor, integrity which never knew the shadow of
suspicion, candor in the estimate of character, filial piety,
rigid fidelity in every domestic relation, and all these
connected with and flowing from steadfast religious principle,
profound sentiments of devotion, and a vivid realization of
spiritual truth."--NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.

"We are glad that American Biography has been enriched by such
a contribution to its treasures. In all that composes the
career of 'the good man,' and the practical Christian, we have
read few memoirs more full of instruction, or richer in lessons
of wisdom and virtue. We cordially unite in the opinion that
the publication of this memoir was a duty owed to
society."--NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

"With the intention of placing it within the reach of a large
number, the mere cost price is charged, and a more beautifully
printed volume, or one calculated to do more good, has not been
issued from the press of late years."--EVENING GAZETTE.

"This book, besides being of a different class from most
biographies, has another peculiar charm. It shows the inside
life of the man. You have, as it were, a peep behind the
curtain, and see Mr. Lawrence as he went in and out among
business men, as he appeared on change, as he received his
friends, as he poured out, 'with liberal hand and generous
heart,' his wealth for the benefit of others, as he received
the greetings and salutations of children, and as he appeared
in the bosom of his family at his own hearth stone."--BRUNSWICK
TELEGRAPH.

"It is printed on new type, the best paper, and is illustrated
by four beautiful plates. How it can be sold for the price
named is a marvel."--NORFOLK CO. JOURNAL.
