A NEW HOME - WHO'LL FOLLOW?

OR,

GLIMPSES OF WESTERN LIFE.

BY MRS. MARY CLAVERS, AN ACTUAL SETTLER.

Third Edition

"This is a work of striking merit, such as we do not often meet with in these days of repetition and imitation. The real enjoyments of forest life are set forth in their true colors; but the real inconveniences, and annoyances, and sacrifices which belong to it, are not extenuated."

"It is one of the most spirited and original works which have yet been produced in this country."-North American Review.

"This work shows evidence of a genius for description very uncommon, even in these days of clever narrative. Done with a nerve, an elegance of quotation and allusion, a playfulness of style, and a pure and Christian-like spirit of resignation and good humor, which warrant us in pronouncing it one of the first productions of the day. More eminently readable matter has not fallen under our notice for a long time." Grant's London Journal.

"One of the cleverest productions of the season; containing very interesting and lively pictures of Western life, character, and manners."- New York Review.

"Mrs. Clavers's sketches are lively, fresh-colored, and characteristic. We recommend the book to all who have any appetite for what is humorous and graphic in the light literature of America."— London Atheneum.

"This book is agreeable as a whole; valuable as a picture of daily household life, and of village society in a new Western settlement, and curious for its glimpses of love and marriage, of a more sentimental kind, in the United States."- London Spectator.

"One of the most natural, pleasant, and entertaining books that we have read for a twelvemonth."- Knickerbocker.

"This is a real view of the settlers in the far West, and, we imagine, gives a more minute and faithful account of their daily life than any book of travels that has been published." London Literary Gazette.

"The most amusing and spirited work, descriptive of life in the West, that we have perused since we read Mr. Hoffman's Western Tour. The volume is spiced with many beautiful descriptions of natural scenery, and abounds in classic allusions and happy illustrations." - The Corsair.

"This work gives us a simple picture of a home on the outskirts of civiliza tion,' and presents us with an unvarnished tale' of the life of the emigrant. It is amusing in the extreme, and so vivid in its coloring, that, as we read, we might almost fancy ourself in Michigan, participating with the fair authoress in the vicissitudes and troubles of getting domesticated in a shingle palace."— Boston Transcript.

BY THE AUTHOR OF "A NEW HOME."

Mrs. Caroline M. Kirkland,

"Where are the advantages, beyond the means, first, of mere subsistence,
secondly, of information, which ought not to be indifferent to true philosophers?
And yet, where exists the true philosopher who has been able, effectually, to
detach himself from the common mode of thinking on such subjects?"
