Moby-Dick in Pittsburgh


Godey's Lady's Book, Graham's and Sartain's Magazines for December are all illustrated with an extra number of fine plates. They are for sale at Holmes' Literary Depot, Third street, opposite the Post Office. Also, Moby Dick, or the Whale, a sea tale by Herman Melville, Esq., author of "Typee," "Omoo," "Redburn," "White Jacket," etc. Persons who have read the author's former works should read Moby Dick, as it is equal to any of them.  --Pittsburgh Daily Post, November 18, 1851
