BY ROSS COX, ESQ.

TANCRED;

OR, THE NEW CRUSADE.
By B. DISRAELI, M.P.

Author of "Coningsby," "Sybil," &c. Third Edition. 3 vols., post 8vo, 31s. 6d.

"Tancred' is full of charming effects of style and fine delineations. The descriptions of oriental life are only to be compared with those of Anastasius or Eothen."-Edinburgh Review.

"Tancred' is a brilliant book. It has entertained us more than either 'Coningsby' or 'Sybil,' and we think may stand higher in public favour." -Athenæum.

[ocr errors]

"We hold it to be impossible for the author of Vivian Grey' to write a work of fiction which shall not be clever, brilliant, witty, and dashing. 'Tancred' is all this, and something more. Its writer has borrowed for a season the pencil of Roberts, and become a gorgeous painter."-Times.

ZOOLOGICAL RECREATIONS.

By W. J. BRODERIP, Esq. F.R.S.

SECOND EDITION, WITH ADDITIONS. 1 vol., post 8vo, 10s. 6d. bound. "We believe we do not exaggerate in saying that, since the publication of White's Natural History of Selborne, and of the Introduction to Entomology,' by Kirby and Spence, no work in our language is better calculated than the Zoological Recreations' to fulfil the avowed aim of its author-to furnish a hand-book which may cherish or awaken a love for natural history."-Quarterly Review.

THE COUNTESS OF BLESSINGTON'S JOURNAL OF HER CONVERSATIONS WITH LORD BYRON.

66

Cheaper Edition. 8vo, With a Portrait by Count D'Orsay, 7s. Beyond all comparison, the best thing that has been written on Lord Byron-the truest, cleverest, and most pleasing. With all possible delicacy, consideration, and good nature, the true character of Byron is laid open even to its inmost recesses."-Spectator.

ADVENTURES OF THE GORDON HIGHLANDERS,

IN SPAIN, FRANCE, AND BELGIUM.

By JAMES GRANT, Esq., late 62d Regt.

4 vols. bound in 2, price 21s.

"The main charm of this very attractive work must ever be the truthful outline it presents of the heroic devotion and dauntless daring of the heroes in the garb of old Gaul,' during that momentous conflict ending with Wellington's last triumph on the plains of Waterloo." Caledonian Mercury.

THE JESUIT AT CAMBRIDGE.

BY SIR GEORGE STEPHEN.

2 vols., post 8vo, 21s. bound.

"One of the best written novels published for many years, both as regards its excellent purpose and vigorous style. Nothing can be more exact to truth than the author's painting of the scenes of college life."-Messenger.

"This vigorous protest against Jesuitical growth displays consummate literary tact, and is a production of infinite talent."-Somerset Gazette.

ZENON;

AN HISTORICAL NARRATIVE.

By the Rev. RICHARD COBBOLD, M.A.

II.

THE HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCHPOLE,

A SUFFOLK GIRL.

THE SOLDIER'S DAUGHTER, WIFE, & WIDOW.

"In this most interesting work, we have the stirring scenes of a soldier's life, and the history of his daughter, wife, and widow, under the various difficulties of a situation calling for all the energies of a manly heart, and all the strength and relying love of a woman's unshrinking spirit. The work is full of incidents, narratives of extraordinary events, perils, and preservations."-Bury Herald.

KING ARTHUR.

BY THE AUTHOR OF "THE NEW TIMON."

Post 8vo, 58.

THE NEW TIMON:

A POETICAL ROMANCE.

Fourth edition, 1 vol. post 8vo, 6s. bound.

"One of the most remarkable poems of the present generation-remarkable in a threefold degree-its conception being strictly originalits language and imagery new-its tendency eminently moral. It has beauties of no ordinary lustre; the animus of the work is essentially humanising, its plot ingenious, and its effect altogether bold, harmonious, and original. No poem of equal length has issued from the English press for a number of years, with any thing approaching to the ability of 'The New Timon,'-it augurs a resuscitation of our Bardic glories."-Sun.

POETICAL WORKS OF HORACE SMITH,

ONE OF THE AUTHORS OF " REJECTED ADDRESSES." Now First Collected, 2 vols., post 8vo, with Portrait, 12s. bound. "A host of readers we are confident will participate in our gratification at the publication of these volumes, for Horace Smith is now amongst the English classics."-Naval and Military Gazette.

"In this work the reader will find, not only Christmas reading for every day in the year, but as abundant proof of honest cheerfulness, manly warmth of feeling, and genuine enjoyment of every thing enjoyable, as in any two hearty little volumes of the same size in the language."-Examiner.

POETICAL

WORKS OF BARRY CORNWALL.

3 vols., small 8vo, 21s.

"It is delightful to turn awhile from moral and political animosities to the unalloyed sweets of such poetry as Mr. Cornwall's; and to refresh our fancies, and strengthen and compose our good affections among the images of love and beauty, and gentle sympathy and sorrow, with which it everywhere presents us."-Edinburgh Review.

THE HALL AND THE HAMLET.

By WILLIAM HOWITT.

Author of "The Book of the Seasons," "Rural Life in England," &c., Cheaper Edition, 2 vols., post 8vo. 12s. bound.

"This work is full of delightful sketches and sweet and enchanting pictures of rural life, and we have no doubt will be read not only at the homestead of the farmer, but at the mansion of the squire, or the castle of the lord, with gratification and delight. In these volumes there is more originality, more wit, more humour, more pathos, than in any of those which have already issued from the same pen."Sunday Times.
