[page 2, column 2, continued:]

The Messrs. Harper have published a very extraordinary volume purporting to be a narrative of “Arthur Gordon Pym,” who it is said lately deceased in some melancholly [[melancholy]] way, and his adventures as well as his death are referred to as of perfect notoriety. We don’t know whether he died at Cuddyhunk, Van Dieman's land, Communipaw or in the moon. The narrative is a most extraordinary one, and will be bought and read, we doubt not, with great avidiity [[avidity]]. It is hinted that Mr. Poe, the accomplished Virginia writer had some thing to do about the book. We should be more inclined to think that Mr. Lock [[Locke]], the very ingenious author of the Moon Marvel was the author.
