VERPLANCK. Will design, select, and arrange the illustrations, of which there will be about 1400, executed on wood, in the very best style of the modern school of that art. In submitting the Prospectus of the Editor to the public, the publisher has only to add that he will spare neither expense uor pains to make this edition of the World's Poet superior to any lhal has hereto fore appeared—in illustrations, typography and pa per. The form will be royal octavo, and will be is sued in weekly parts, price 12 1-2 cents, which pla ces it within the means of persona of the most limit ed fortunes, whilst on account of the peculiar beauty it will gain itself admission into the libraries of the rich, aud there prove to be one us the choicest orna ments. Those who wish this work in the most perfect state will only be sure of it dy taking the parts as they ap pear, which will contain the early proofs of the en gravings. The Tragedy of Hamlet is now in press. The first part will be issued in March. PROSPECTUS. The Pictorial and Illustrated editions of SHAK SPEARE, lately published in England, are amongst the most beautiful specimens of the recent and re markable improvementol the art of wood engraving, which, by combining great excellence of execution, with economy of price, has given an unprecedented diffusion to the most useful as well as the most ex quisite productions of the arts of design. The designs of Kenny Meadows for the illustra tions of Tyas’ edition of Shakspeare, expresses the character of the several personages, and the spirit o the scene, with wonderful truth and power; whilst the wood engraving of Knight’s Pictorial edition combine with the highest merits of art and taste, such a learned aud minute accuracy as to scenery, costume, architecture and antiquity as to make them a perpetual and most instructive commentary upon the Poet’s text. It is now proposed to embody in an American Edition, the admirable illustrations of both these editions, engraved with equal excellence of mechanical execution, to add to these, other en gravings from eminent artists, as Reynolds, Fuseli, S. Newton, Ac., and to accompany them with a beau lifully printed and correct text. ffiut tile publisher, anxious that his country should pay some part of the homage due from her to the greatest of Poets, as to otic who belongs not solely to England, butte all who speak the tongue That Shakspeare spake, Could not content himself with a mere r£publication or compilation. He has therefore prevailed upon R. W. Weir, whose reputation as an artist is already identified with his country’s history, to contribute a series of original designs, together with such advice and assistance in other details of art as his taste may suggest for the illustration and embellishment of thispublication. From the same reason the publish er, instead of reprinting the text and commentary of any popular English impression, was desirous that his edition should have the supervision of an Amcr can editor. This task has been undertaken by GU LIAN O. VERPLANCK. The plan proposed to himself by the editor is to furnish the reader with a carefully prepared and ar.- ourately printed text, unencumbered by any notes or comments upon the page itself; as however use ful they may be elsewhere, they are too apt to divert the mind from the power of the Poet’s thought, and to disturb the magic of hD scene. Such notes as may be thought useful for the explanation or criti cism of the text, will be thrown into an Appendix to each play. The text of Shakspeare’s dramatic works, drawn from old printed copies in his age, which had never passed under the author’s own eye, was consequent ly disfigured by many errors and obscurities. It passed during the last century through a succession of varying editions until the revision of Stevens and Malime. whose lo>£t, (or radier that of SteVCJls) lISS become the standard from which most of the e.nglish and American editions have been printed, with vari ous degrees of accuracy. But within the last twen ty years a more minute and familiar acquaintance with old English idioms, habits, and modes of thought, guided by an intense and constantly increa sing admiration of Shakspeare’s genius, has led to the strong conviction that very many of the numer ous though slight deviations from the ancient text appearing in modern editions, are useless or errone ous interpolations, sometimes weakening the sense aud often substituting an arbitrary monotonous met rical regularity to the Poet’s own native melody.— Accordingly very many of these emendations have been rejected by the last and best English editors, espeofally Mr. Knight and Mr. Collier, and the rea dings of the old folios and quartos have been resto red, unless where some error of the press or manu script was undeniably manifest. Vet there are ma ny such passages confessedly corrupt, and requiring conjectural emendation; there are also differences of reading between the several old impressions, af fording grounds for some diversity of text and warm controversy between the more recent editors. Upon these the American editor thinks it due to the character of lias edition, to decide for himself without implicitly follow ing the text of any one mod ern edition. As'the industry and learning of prior editors have furnished the collation of various read ings and the authorities upon which they may be supported, the task is no longer that ol laborious in vestigation, but, as it were, of judicial decision, en lightened by contending argument As many of these variations are of nearly equal probability, and as some of them arc doubtless the author’s own alterations at different periods .all the more important readings will be presented to the reader in the notes for his own selection. Those notes will also contain so much of commentary ns may be useful to explain antiquated words andphra ses, obscurely expressed passages, and allusions lo obsolete opinions or the habits or history of the times; the whole in as condensed a form as practica ble. ‘But any commentary upon Shakspeare, how ever brief, would be imperfect if -t did not present some view of the higher criticism employed, not on the interpretation of bis language, but upon his thoughts, his character, his poetry, passions, philoso phy. The only difficulty here arises from the abun dance, the magnificent variety of the materials con tributed during the last half century by the most brilliant minds of Europe. Still it is believed that this duty can be satisfactorily performed without swelling the edition to an inconvenient bulk. H. W. HEWET, Publisher, 291, Broadway, New York.

BENJAMIN BRANDRETH’S PILLS, The cures effected by this medi cine would fill volumes. Views on Indigestion as a source of various Undefined and lrregular Nervous Sensations. “Ills, small at first, grow larger from delay, “ And slowly eat their sad and cankering way " Thus by successive throes, the frame is torn “ Till health and peace of mind alike are gone." THE nerves of the human body—those necessary and mysterious agents which immediately con nect man with external nature—are singularly prone to have their functions disordered by an oppressed con dition of the stomach; the minute termination of that portion of the nerves expanded upon the organs of digestion conveying the morbid impression to the Brain. And although the Head can. undoubtedly, like other organs, be the seat of primary eisorder.yet, in the great majority of cases, the uneasy sensations there experi enced are symptomatic of disordered Stomach ; and, further there is abundant evidence to prove that crudi ties in the Stomach and Bowels can, in every grade of ltumhn existence give rise to spasmodic action in every organ of the body ; and whether we survey it in the agonising form ofTtc Dolereaux—the alarming con vutskms of the Eipileplic eeinuie- o, in n,.t irritable condition of the nerves ofthe heart occasioning nervous palpitation—they can all frequently be traced to the source above mentioned, and be cured by mild cvacu ant and tonic remedies. To relieve a state of so much suffering and distress (in which body and mind also participate) BRANDRETH PTt.T.H are confi dently recommended; as, by combining aromatic tonic and cleansing properties, they remove all oppressive, accumulations, strengthen the Stomach, induce a healthy appetite, and impart tranquility to the nervous system ; and in fact, by their general purifying power upon the blood, exert a most benEflcinl influence in all cases of disease.

In the year 1839, I was attacked with that dis agreeable complaint, the DYSPEPSIA, which si affected me that I could not take the least particle of food, without the most unpleasant and un«oinfonahl« sensations in my chest, head and bowels. My dies, was so sore that I could not bear the slightest pre. sure without giving me pain. My health was most miserable ; many physicians told me they thought was in the consumption, aud that if I did not give up my business, and change climate.l could live but a short time. I tried every thing in the shape of medicine, and consulted the most skilfnl physicians, but found no permanent relief. I became discouraged, gloomy, sad, and sick of life; and, probably, ere this should have been in my grave, had I not fell in with your precious medicine. A friend of mine, whohad been sick of the same complaint, advised me to try your pills ; but,jhaving tried most of the medicines without obtaining any relief, had but little faith that your Pills would he of benefit to me ; but, at his earnest soficitfltions, I procured a box and commenced taking them. The'first box produced little or no effect, and I began to despond, for fear that your medicine would prove like others I have taken; but my friends argued that one was not alair trial, and I purchased a second, and before I.had taken the w hole box be gan to experience a change : the pain in my chest becan to be less painful, and my food did not disfres me as ouch as formerly. I wrnton taking them un til I had taken six boxes, and my DYSPEPSIA was GONE, and my expectation of an early death vanished, and I felt like a “ new creature.” 1 wr* then, and am now, a healthy man. I have never since been troubled with the DYSPEPSIA. I have administered your Pills to the members of my family, and to my friends, and in all rases with good success; You ran publish if it will be of any use to lam, Hear oir, tralyjuUlß, J.
