BY ALEXANDre Dumas.
Translated from the original MSS. by Madame Julie De
Marguerittes.

This work makes its first appearance before the public in an English dress, the publication in Paris having been suspended, for the reason explained in the following communication to M. Dumas, which appeared in the Mousquetaire, October 25th, 1854:

Dear Readers:--Probably you are aware that I was publishing in "Le Siecle" a romance entitled "Ingenue." Yesterday morning I received the following letter:-"Perhaps you do not know, my dear DUMAS, that your Ingenue still exists. She resided No. 6 Rue Favart, from whence she removed, on the 15th of this month, to the Rue d'Alger.Her means of subsistence seem to be derived from the sale of chaplets, which she makes in a little church, situated, I believe, in the Rue de Provence.

"Profit by this advice as circumstances may suggest. I
take advantage of this opportunity to reiterate the assurance
of my old friendship.
Sincerely yours,

LEFEVRE,
No. 19 Rue Vielle du Temple."

It is needless to add, that as soon as the existence of the child of Retiff de la Bretonne was made known to us, the

LIPPINCOTT, GRAMBO & CO.'S

PRONOUNCING

GAZETTEER OF THE WORLD,

OR

Geographical Dictionary,

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN MAY, 1855.

No Gazetteer of the World has yet been published that is not defective in many essential particulars; and these defects appertain as well to the works recently issued as to those of older date, the later compilers having copied their laborious predecessors with a fidelity somewhat remarkable in this age of new ideas, progression, and improvement.

To remedy these important defects, the present Gazetteer-of which a specimen is now issued-was begun, and announced more than four years ago. Our aim was not merely to produce a work that should SUPPLY THE DEFICIENCIES OF EXISTING GAZETTEERS, but to furnish a GEOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY which should be as comprehensive in its design, as perfect in its arrangement, and complete and accurate in its execution, as the BEST DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. To accomplish this no labor nor expense has been spared. The preparation of the work has been entrusted to Editors eminent for their varied and extensive attainments; and that this will be immeasurably superior to the best and most recent Gazetteers hitherto published in this country or in Europe, we feel the fullest assurance.

Among its other claims to superiority over all previous works of the kind are the following:

It will be a

PRONOUNCING GAZETTEER,

a feature as essential to the completeness of a Geographical Dictionary, as to a Dictionary of the English Language. Only a single attempt, either in this country or in Europe, has hitherto been made to execute so important a task, and that was by the Editors of the present work, in a small volume well known to the public as Baldwin's Pronouncing Gazetteer, which has universally been adopted as a standard of Geographical pronunciation. Dr. THOMAS, the eminent linguist, to whom the department of Pronunciation in that work was exclusively entrusted, has now, aided by gentlemen of distinguished learning, undertaken the difficult task of giving the correct pronunciation of all the names in this

THE MOST COMPLETE GAZETTEER EVER ATTEMPTED,

No other man in the country is so competent to perforin a work of this kind.

With regard to ACCURACY, we unhesitatingly claim for our Gazetteer a great superiority over all others. As to the care with which any work of this class has been prepared, the reader may easily satisfy himself by simply comparing statements made with regard to the same subject in different parts of the book. It will contain

MANY THOUSAND MORE NAMES OF PLACES THAN ANY OTHER GAZETTEER OF THE WORLD;

and the notices of all important places in our Gazetteer will also be found far more full and satisfactory.

The information has been derived from the most recent and reliable sources both at home and abroad, including the late remarkable Mining operations in Australia--the new Discoveries in Central Africa-Explorations in the Polar Scas-localities recently rendered interesting by their relation to the present European War-and, above all, the late rapid Extension of Commerce, and the still more wonderful Development of Railways in almost every part of the Globe. In all these particulars, this Gazetteer will be found incomparably superior to every other.

Our "Gazetteer of the United States," now Universally acknowledged to be the only complete and thoroughly reliable one extant, was commenced as the basis of this --a fact announced at the time, and as that work progressed, the editors gathered in, digested, and arranged their material for the Gazetteer of the World. In compiling this work, however, the Gazetteer of the United States has undergone a complete revision, and a vast amount of new matter has been added, especially with regard to Commerce, Railways, &c.

We might have hurried our Gazetteer through the press, to forestall other works commenced long after ours was in progress, but we could not be tempted to waver a single feature of excellence requiring time for its perfection. It will contain

OVER 2,000 SUPER-ROYAL OCTAVO PAGES,

bound in the most substantial manner. Price, in Cloth, $5; in Extra Sheep, $6.
