J. S. REDFIELD, the enterprising New York publisher, has just brought before the public a splendidly Illustrated edition of the works of Edgar A. Poe. The designs are executed by our best artists, and the work is creditable to them as well as to the publisher. The literary public have long, since passed judgment on the writings of Poe; and now no library is complete without them. — So enormous has been their sale that Mr. Redfield announces that he has now ready the fifteenth edition of his works, in good library style, edited by those two bright stare in our literary world, N. P. Willis and Rufus W. Griswold. For a holiday gift book nothing could be more appropriate than a copy from the illustrated edition, as the subject matter is from the pen, of one who was considered one of our most gifted writers and the execution of the work, on the part of the publisher is splendid in every sense of the word. For particulars we refer our readers to the advertisement in another column.
