We are indebted for the publication of the present valuable work to the liberality of the Duke of Northumberland, whose warm and generous support of literature and art deserves our grateful acknowledgments."

LAVENGRO;
THE SCHOLAR--THE GIPSY--AND THE PRIEST.

BY GEORGE BORROW, ESQ.

Author of "The Bible in Spain," "The Gipsies of Spain," &c. &c.
With a Portrait. 3 Vols. Post 8vo. 30_s._

"We trust our extracts have exhibited enough of one at least of the many aspects of 'Lavengro' to convince the reader that neither is it a work to be read cursorily, nor to be handled easily, by any of the silver-fork school of critics. These volumes are indeed replete with life, with earnest sympathy for all genuine workers, with profound insight into the wants and wishes of the poor and uneducated, and a lofty disdain of the conventional 'shams' and pretensions which fetter the spirits or impede the energies of mankind. Nor is a feeling for the beautiful less conspicuous in its pages. A quiet market-town, environed by green meadows or bosomed in tufted trees; an old mercantile and ecclesiastical city, with a history stretching from the times of the Caesars to the times of George III.; the treeless plain, the broad river, the holt, the dingle, the blacksmith's forge, are all in their turn sketched freely and vividly by Mr. Borrow's pencil. In his portraitures of ruder life he is unsurpassed; a dog-fight, a prize-fight, an ale-house kitchen, Greenwich Fair, a savage group of wandering tinkers, are delineated in words as Wilkie or Hogarth might have depicted them in colours. We are embarrassed by the riches spread before us.

"We have not touched upon the gipsy scenes in 'Lavengro' because in any work of Mr. Borrow's these will naturally be the first to draw the reader's attention. Neither have we aimed at abridging or forestalling any portions of a book which has a panoramic unity of its own, and of which scarcely a page is without its proper interest. If we have succeeded in persuading our readers to regard Mr. Borrow as partly an historian and partly as a poet, as well as to look for more in his volumes than mere excitement or amusement, our purpose is attained, and we may securely commend him to the goodly company he will find therein. 'Lavengro,' however, is not concluded; a fourth volume will explain and gather up much of what is now somewhat obscure and fragmentary, and impart a more definite character to the philological and physiological hints comprised in those now before us. Enough, indeed, and more than enough, is written to prove that the author possesses, in no ordinary measure, 'the vision and the faculty divine' for discerning and discriminating what is noble in man and what is beautiful in nature. We trust Mr. Borrow will speedily bring forth the remaining acts of his 'dream of adventure,' and with good heart and hope pursue his way rejoicing, regardless of the misconceptions or misrepresentations of critics who judge through a mist of conventionalities, and who themselves, whether travelled or untravelled, have not, like Lavengro, grappled with the deeper thoughts and veracities of human life."--_Tait's Magazine._

POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND INDUSTRIAL.

BY WILLIAM JOHNSTON, ESQ.

2 Vols. Post 8vo. 18_s._

"This book is a somewhat undigested mass of valuable matter, interspersed occasionally with reflections of much interest and observations of considerable originality. The author is unquestionably a man of talent; he writes with vigour and smartness; he has taken pains in the collection of most of his materials; and his statistics are arranged with great care and managed with unusual skill. In this point he is much superior to his prototype and apparent master, Mr. Alison."

"Mr. Johnston's work is readable and well-written, abounding with information of many kinds."--_Edinburgh Review._

THE SAXON IN IRELAND:

BEING NOTES OF THE RAMBLES OF AN ENGLISHMAN IN THE WEST OF IRELAND
IN SEARCH OF A SETTLEMENT.

With Map. Post 8vo. 9_s._ 6_d._

"A valuable testimony to the capabilities of Ireland."--_Observer._

"Let the intending emigrant devote a few hours to the perusal of this volume. The work possesses deeper interest than even could be claimed for it from its fascinating descriptions."--_Illustrated News._

THE PALACES OF
NINEVEH AND PERSEPOLIS RESTORED.

AN ESSAY ON ANCIENT ASSYRIAN AND PERSIAN ARCHITECTURE.

BY JAMES FERGUSSON ESQ.,

With Woodcuts. 8vo. 16_s._

"This book contains many things of general interest relating to one of the most wonderful discoveries that has occurred in the history of the world. Mr. Fergusson writes very dispassionately. What he has said deserves serious consideration."--_Gentleman's Magazine._

MEMOIRS OF ROBERT PLUMER WARD.

WITH HIS CORRESPONDENCE, DIARIES, AND LITERARY REMAINS.

BY THE HON. EDMUND PHIPPS.

With Portrait. 2 Vols. 8vo. 28_s._

"The most valuable portions of Mr. Ward's diary are its illustrations of the character of the Duke of Wellington. The great soldier, then in the flush of his military triumph, was also in the prime of his power and activity; and Mr. Ward gives us an insight into his business habits, his method of arguing public questions, his ready resource and never-tiring energy, which possesses occasionally a striking interest."--_Examiner._

THE MILITARY EVENTS IN ITALY, 1848-9.

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.
BY THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF ELLESMERE.

With a Map. Post 8vo. 9_s._

"Military history is, as the Earl of Ellesmere declares, a rare article in English literature; and, therefore, he thought that the most authentic extant narrative of the operations implied in the title page of the present book, written by an impartial Swiss, would not be an unwelcome addition to the British library. His lordship has judged rightly; the work of which he has presented a version is a worthy labour, and the events to which it relates are of the last importance. It is written with judgment, and has been translated with care."--_Morning Chronicle._

* * * * *

A TRANSPORT VOYAGE TO THE MAURITIUS,

BY WAY OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE AND ST. HELENA.

BY THE AUTHOR OF "PADDIANA."

Post 8vo. 9_s._ 6_d._

"This book reminds us of one of those pleasant fellows, whom one sometimes meets with in company, who has an anecdote or a story ready a propos of everything, whose fund of amusing tales is inexhaustible, and who rattling on from one thing to another, will keep a whole table in a roar, or a whole drawing-room in high glee. Even such is our author. He gossips on and on, telling now of one adventure, and then of another; his volume is a perfect chaos of racy reminiscences graphically told."--_John Bull._

LIVES OF THE CHIEF JUSTICES OF ENGLAND.

FROM THE NORMAN CONQUEST TO THE DEATH OF LORD MANSFIELD.

BY LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CAMPBELL.

2 Vols. 8vo. 30_s._

"There is, indeed, in Lord Campbell's works much instruction; his subjects have been so happily selected, that it was scarcely possible that there should not be. An eminent lawyer and statesman could not write the lives of great statesmen and lawyers without interweaving curious information, and suggesting valuable principles of judgment and useful practical maxims: but it is not for these that his works will be read. Their principal merit is their easy animated flow of interesting narrative. No one possesses better than Lord Campbell the art of telling a story: of passing over what is commonplace; of merely suggesting what may be inferred; of explaining what is obscure; and of placing in strong light the details of what is interesting."--_Edinburgh Review._

* * * * *

THE FORTY-FIVE.

BEING A NARRATIVE OF THE REBELLION IN SCOTLAND OF 1745;

BY LORD MAHON.

Post 8vo. 3_s._

"This is a very comprehensive and lively sketch of the famous 'Rebellion' so vividly remembered, even after the lapse of a century, by the people of Scotland. The incidents of that unfortunate invasion from first to last, from the landing of Charles (July 25th) in Borrodale, with the 'seven men of Moidart,' to the fatal battle of Culloden (16th April, 1746), are minutely and faithfully recorded; but we have no doubt the reader will be most and mainly interested in the personal history and adventures of the Pretender himself. The character of the Prince is admirably drawn, and generously vindicated from the calumnies heaped upon him by his adversaries after his fall. It will perhaps surprise some to learn, that he was so illiterate as scarcely to be master of the most common elements of education. 'His letters,' says Lord Mahon, 'which I have seen among the Stuart papers, are written in a large, rude, rambling hand, like a schoolboy's. In spelling they are still more deficient.' We recommend Lord Mahon's narrative as a very agreeable sketch of a stirring and eventful period."--_Edinburgh Advertiser._

KUGLER'S HANDBOOK ILLUSTRATED.

THE SCHOOLS OF PAINTING IN ITALY.
FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES.

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY A LADY, AND EDITED WITH NOTES

BY SIR CHARLES LOCK EASTLAKE,
President of the Royal Academy.

_A New Edition._ 2 Vols. Post 8vo. 24_s._

"We cannot leave this subject (_Christian Art, its present state and its prospects_), without reverting to Sir C. Eastlake's edition of Kugler's Handbook of Painting, not for the sake of reviewing it,--for it is a work now of established reputation,--but for the purpose of recommending it as being upon the whole by far the best manual we are acquainted with, for every one who, without the opportunity of foreign and particularly Italian travel, desires to make a real study of art. Its method, its chronological arrangement, and its generally judicious criticism, make it most instructive to a learner. We may add that the present edition is enlarged just where the former one needed enlargement, and the Handbook is now far more satisfactory as to the early religious schools than it was before. The edition is beautifully got up, and so profusely and judiciously illustrated by one hundred woodcuts drawn by Scharf, that it would be next to impossible to speak too highly in its praise, even were its matter less valuable and important than it is."--_The Ecclesiastic._

ITS INTRODUCTION AND PROGRESS UNDER THE PORTUGUESE, DUTCH,
BRITISH, AND AMERICAN MISSIONS.

BY SIR JAMES EMERSON TENNENT, K.C.S., LL.D.

With Illustrations. 8vo. 14_s._

"To those who take either a religious or a philosophical interest in the subject, Sir Emerson Tennent's volume may be safely recommended, as a clear, succinct, sensible, and flowing account. The work also possesses a living animation arising from the author's knowledge of the country and the people."--_Spectator._

A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY GEOLOGY;

OR, THE ANCIENT CHANGES OF THE EARTH AND ITS INHABITANTS,
AS ILLUSTRATED BY ITS GEOLOGICAL MONUMENTS.

BY SIR CHARLES LYELL, F.R.S., P.G.S.

Third Edition, thoroughly revised,
and illustrated with 520 Woodcuts.
8vo. 12_s._

"The production of one of our most eminent geologists in an age of many. Though styled a 'third edition,' it is in reality a new book. This could not be otherwise if the task were well done; for the science of which Sir Charles Lyell treats is assuming new aspects every year. It is continually advancing and ever growing. As it advances, its steps become firmer and surer; as it grows, its framework becomes more compact, and its organization more perfect. They who take up the hammer to follow it must toil with unflagging tread to keep pace with its onward progress. If they lag behind, they can scarcely hope to overtake. None among its votaries has marked each movement more minutely, or weighed its value and purpose more judiciously, than the distinguished author of this Manual. He has indeed done his task well, and both the beginner and the experienced investigator will find his book an invaluable guide and companion."--_Literary Gazette._

With Plans. 8vo. 14_s._

"As a Treatise on the Science of War, these Commentaries ought to find their way into the hands of every soldier. In them is to be found an accurate record of events of which no military man should be ignorant."--_Morning Chronicle._

MODERN DOMESTIC COOKERY.

FOUNDED UPON PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMY AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
AND ADAPTED FOR THE USE OF PRIVATE FAMILIES.

With 100 Woodcuts. Post 8vo. 6_s._

"The advanced state of cookery having rendered Mrs. Rundell's work obsolete, the publisher has caused it to be remodelled and improved to such an extent as to give it a claim to the title of an original production. The receipts of the late Miss Emma Roberts have been revised and added to the work; and it has had the advantage of being subjected besides to the careful inspection of a 'professional gentleman'--Economy combined with excellence--is the aim, end, and object which it cannot be doubted will be obtained if its prescriptions are attended to. It is fuller than the former _Domestic Cookery_, of which it is an improved and amended edition--it is more simple and comprehensible in its language; it contains several diagrams not to be found in its predecessor; and it possesses various minor qualities, which increase its value in a tenfold degree, and make it, to say the least, equal to any other book of the kind in the English language."--_Observer._
