    Notes on the State of Virginia. By Thomas Jef- ferson. Illustrated with a map including the States of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Penns}Tlvania. A new edition, prepared by the author, containing Notes and Plates never before published. £2.50 Popular as it has always been, the present edition will be found to possess superior attractions to any which have preceded it. Rich and varied in its statements of the early history of Virginia, accurate in its statements, and minute in its details, it will always present strong claims upon public confidence, enhanced and strengthened by the subject matter of its history, and the eminence of character and position of its author. The work is essentially Virginian : written, printed and bound in Virginia. It is from the press of Mr. Chas. H. Wynne, of this city, and is a very fine speci- men of the art of printing.—R. C. Advocate. The Best Answer to Uncle Tom. Uncle Robin, in his Cabin in Virginia, and Tom without one in Bos- ton, by J. W. Page. Plates, $1,00 The locality of the story is in Clarke county, Va,, on the banks of the Shenandoah, a region which presents ' the peculiar institution' in a fair aspect, both to the Southerner and the rational Northerner. The work will be undoubtedly hailed as the very best novel which has yet been produced on the subject of slavery. There is but little of the melo-dramic in the plot or treatment, that department having been abandoned to Mrs. Stowe. There is no poetry but the poetry of truth, and it is as little overstrained or prejudiced as the most exacting Yankee philosopher and critic can expect. It speaks in a calm tone, which is one that none but a strong cause can adopt.—Winchester Virginian.
