NATIONAL TALES OF LIFE AND ADVENTURE, Translated from the Originals, with Biographical and Critical Notices, &c.

BY THOMAS ROSCOE, Esq.

"This work contains a selection of historiettes, some after the humorous style of Cervantes, others of a more plaintive and melancholy cast. In the majority of them there is great point, with many touches of rich dry humour. They have come out in the right season, for it would be difficult to find more agreeable beguilers of the time in a long winter's evening."— Sunday Times.

"These Tales are all remarkable, and many of them admirable. The work will prove a valuable addition to our literature."-New Monthly Magazine.
