Its truth is of that simple and startling character which is sure of an immortal existence; nor is it paying the gallant author too high a complement to class this masterpiece of military history with the most precious of those classic records which have been bequeathed to us by the great writers of antiquity who took part in the wars they have described."--_The Press._

It has all the liveliness and sparkle of a work written only for amusement; it has all the solidity and weight of a State paper; and we expect for it not a little political influence as a fair, full, and masterly statement of the Imperial policy--the first and only good account that has been given to Europe of the Napoleonic system now in force."--_Times._

More improving reading, both for the general student and for the lawyer, we cannot well imagine; and there are few, even among learned professional men, who will not gather some novel information from Lord Mackenzie's simple pages."--_London Review._

Miss Strickland's talents as a writer, and turn of mind as an individual, in a peculiar manner fit her for painting a historical gallery of the most illustrious or dignified female characters in that land of chivalry and song."--_Blackwood's Magazine._

"'The Boscobel Tracts' is a very curious book, and about as good an example of single subject historical collections as may be found.

DUNDEE--WILLIAM PENN. By John Paget, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. In
Crown 8vo, 6s.
"We certainly never saw a more damaging exposure, and it is something worth notice that much of it appeared in 'Blackwood's Magazine' during the lifetime of Lord Macaulay, but he never attempted to make any reply. The charges are so direct, and urged in such unmistakable language, that no writer who valued his character for either accuracy of fact or fairness in comment would let them remain unanswered if he had any reason to give."--_Gentleman's Magazine._

Minister of Inveresk. Containing Memorials of the Men and Events of
his Time. Edited by JOHN HILL BURTON. In 8vo. Third Edition, with
Portrait, 14s.
"This book contains by far the most vivid picture of Scottish life and manners that has been given to the public since the days of Sir Walter Scott. In bestowing upon it this high praise, we make no exception, not even in favour of Lord Cockburn's 'Memorials'--the book which resembles it most, and which ranks next to it in interest."--_Edinburgh Review._

"It is of the handiest of sizes; the paper is good; and the type, which seems to be new, is very clear and beautiful. There are no pictures. The whole charm of the presentment of the volume consists in its handiness, and the tempting clearness and beauty of the type, which almost converts into a pleasure the mere act of following the printer's lines, and leaves the author's mind free to exert its unobstructed force upon the reader."--_Examiner._
"Nothing could be better as to size, type, paper, and general get-up."--_Athenæum._

A New Edition. With Illustrations by STANFIELD, WEIR, SKELTON,
WALKER, &c., Engraved by WHYMPER. Crown 8vo, 6s.
"Everybody who has failed to read 'Tom Cringle's Log' should do so at once. The 'Quarterly Review' went so far as to say that the papers composing it, when it first appeared in 'Blackwood,' were the most brilliant series of the time, and that time one unrivalled for the number of famous magazinists existing in it. Coleridge says, in his 'Table Talk,' that the 'Log' is most excellent; and these verdicts have been ratified by generations of men and boys, and by the manifestation of Continental approval which is shown by repeated translations. The engravings illustrating the present issue are excellent."--_Standard._

_CHRONICLES OF CARLINGFORD: SALEM CHAPEL._
Second Edition. Complete in 1 vol., price 5s.
"This story, so fresh, so powerfully written, and so tragic, stands out from among its fellows like a piece of newly-coined gold in a handful of dim commonplace shillings. Tales of pastoral experience and scenes from clerical life we have had in plenty, but the sacred things of the conventicle, the relative position of pastor and flock in a Nonconforming 'connection,' were but guessed at by the world outside, and terrible is the revelation."--_Westminster Review._
_CHRONICLES OF CARLINGFORD: THE RECTOR, AND THE DOCTOR'S FAMILY._
Post 8vo, price 4s. _THE PERPETUAL CURATE._ Complete in one vol.
8vo, price 6s.

_THE BOOK-HUNTER, ETC._
By JOHN HILL BURTON. New Edition. In Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.
"A book pleasant to look at and pleasant to read--pleasant from its rich store of anecdote, its geniality, and its humour, even to persons who care little for the subjects of which it treats, but beyond measure delightful to those who are in any degree members of the above-mentioned fraternity."--_Saturday Review._

"Professor Aytoun's 'Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers'--a volume of verse which shows that Scotland has yet a poet. Full of the true fire, it now stirs and swells like a trumpet-note--now sinks in cadences sad and wild as the wail of a Highland dirge."--_Quarterly Review._
