ADVERTISEMENT.

THIS Volume of the AMARANTH constitutes the fourth one of the series, under this general title; the statement of which fact, it is believed, is all that is necessary to be said in regard to its standard character as a gift-book.

In the volume last preceding, the proprietors made strong promises for the character of this; all of which, they believe, they have fully met, as they have had substantially the same literary and artistic aid in this, as in the previous volumes of the series.

They would only add, that in the year that is before them, they will make early exertions for the issue of a worthy successor of this.

BOSTON, AUGUST, 1849.
