The separate volumes are suited for _School Prizes_, _Presents to Young People_, and for general instruction and entertainment. The Series comprises fourteen of the most popular of Lord Macaulay's _Essays_, and his _Speeches_ on Parliamentary Reform. The department of Travels contains some account of eight of the principal countries of Europe, as well as Travels in four districts of Africa, in four of America, and in three of Asia. Madame Pfeiffer's _First Journey round the World_ is included, and a general account of the _Australian Colonies_. In Biography and History will be found Lord Macaulay's Biographical Sketches of _Warren Hastings, Clive, Pitt, Walpole, Bacon,_ and others, besides Memoirs of _Wellington, Turenne, F. Arago,_ &c., an Essay on the Life and Genius of _Thomas Fuller_, with Selections from his Writings, by Mr. Henry Rogers; and a history of the _Leipsic Campaign_, by Mr. Gleig,--which is the only separate account of this remarkable campaign. Works of Fiction did not come within the plan of the TRAVELLER'S LIBRARY, but the _Confessions of a Working Man_, by Souvestre, which is indeed a fiction founded on fact, has been included, and has been read with unusual interest by many of the working classes, for whose use it is especially recommended. Dumas's story of the _Maitre d'Armes_, though in form a work of fiction, gives a striking picture of an episode in the history of Russia. Amongst the works on Science and Natural Philosophy, a general view of Creation is embodied in Dr. Kemp's _Natural History of Creation_, and in his _Indications of Instinct_ remarkable facts in natural history are collected. Dr. Wilson has contributed a popular account of the _Electric Telegraph_. In the volumes on the _Coal-Fields_, and on the Tin and other Mining Districts of _Cornwall_, is given an account of the mineral wealth of England, the habits and manners of the miners, and the scenery of the surrounding country. It only remains to add, that among the Miscellaneous Works are a Selection of the best Writings of the Rev. Sydney Smith, Lord Carlisle's _Lectures and Addresses_, an account of _Mormonism_, by the Rev. W. J. Conybeare, an exposition of _Railway_ management and mismanagement by Mr. Herbert Spencer, an account of the Origin and Practice of _Printing_, by Mr. Stark; and an account of _London_, by Mr. M'Culloch--To be had, in _complete Sets only_, at £5. 5s. per Set, bound in cloth and lettered.

DOMENECH'S MISSIONARY TRAVELS IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

Just published, in One Volume, 8vo. with Map, price 10s. 6d. cloth,

MISSIONARY ADVENTURES

IN

TEXAS AND MEXICO:

A PERSONAL NARRATIVE OF SIX YEARS' SOJOURN IN THOSE REGIONS.

By the Abbé DOMENECH.

Translated from the French under the author's superintendence.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"The chequered and perilous existence of a Catholic missionary consecrating himself to the cure of souls in the wilds of Texas and Western America, his physical and moral struggles, are here portrayed with a vivid truthfulness well calculated to arrest the sympathy of our readers.... This book requires no further recommendation from as than the analysis here given. Since the perusal of Livingstone's Africa, we have read no traveller's journal with more instruction and pleasure. It is eminently suggestive, too." LEADER.

"Domenech's tone throughout is one of profound conviction; and the hardships which he encountered, and which he relates with so much simplicity and modesty as to enforce belief, are proof that he took his mission to heart. In the two journeys he performed to America--journeys that would have supplied a diffuse book-maker with matter for many volumes, the Abbé was almost every day exposed to dangers of his life--sometimes from the climate, sometimes from the privations to which he was subjected, now from the rough character of the country he constantly compelled to traverse in his spiritual journeys, anon from the violence of colonists or Indians.... It will be seen that readers who expect an infinity of enjoyment from these missionary adventures will not be disappointed." DAILY TELEGRAPH.

"The good and brave young Abbé Domenech, whose personal narrative we may at once say we have found more readable and more informing than a dozen volumes of ordinary adventure, is not unworthy to be named with Huc in the annals of missionary enterprise; and we know not how to give him higher praise. We speak of personal characteristics, and in these--in the qualifications for a life of self-denying severity, not exercised under the protecting shadow of a cloister, but in hourly conflict with danger and necessity--the one looks to us like a younger brother in likeness to the other. His account of Texas, its physical geography, its earlier and later history, its populations, settled and nomad, and of the history and customs of the Indian tribes and their forms of religious worship, is concisely full and clear; and now that the new destiny of these regions is beginning to unfold itself, we recommend to particular attention the few pages in which all that is worth knowing about their past and present condition is summed up.... To us, the pages in which the Abbé Domenech confesses the trials and sorrows of his own heart are the most interesting of his book. They bear the stamp of a perfect and most touching sincerity; and, as we read them, we are more and more impressed with the truth which they convey to all churches and all sects. It has been well said, that Heaven is a character before it is a place. The lesson which this personal narrative of a poor missionary teaches, stems to us to be that religion is a life before it is a dogma." SATURDAY REVIEW.
