OF ENGLAND AND ITS PEOPLE. 



Bv HUGH MILLER, author of " Old lied Sandstone," " Footprints of the 

 Creator/' etc., with a fine likeness of the author. 12ruo, cloth, 1,00. 



Let not the careless reader imagine, from the title of this book, that it is a common book of travels, 

 on the contrary, it is a very remarkable one, both in design, spirit, and execution. The facts recorded, 

 and the views advanced in this book, are so fresh, vivid, and natural, that we cannot but commend it 

 as. a treasure, both of information and entertainment. It will greatly enhance the author's reputation 

 in this country as it already has m England. Willts's Home Jowiial, 



This is a noble book, worthy of the author of the Footprints of the Creator and the Old Red Sand- 

 stone, because it is seasoned with the same power of vivid description, the same minuteness of obser- 

 vation, and soundness of criticism, and the same genial piety. "We have read it with deep interest, 

 nnd with ardent admiration of the author's temper and genius. It is almost impossible to lay the book 

 down, even ;to attend to more pressing matters. It is, without compliment or hyperbole, a most de- 

 lightful volume. X. Y. Commercial. 



It abounds with graphic sketches of scenery and character, is full of geiilns, eloquence, nnd observa- 

 tion, and is well calculated to arrest the attention of the thoughtful and inquiring. Phil. Inquirer. 



This is a most amusing and instructive book, by a master hand. Democratic Review. 



The author of this work proved himself, in the Footprints of the Creator, one of the most original 

 thinkers and powerful writers of the age. In the volume before us he adds new laurels to his reputa- 

 tion. "Whoever wishes to understand the character of the present race of Englishmen, as contradistin- 

 guished from past generations ; to comprehend the workings of political, social, and religious agitation 

 in the minds, not of the nobility or gentry, but of the people, will discover that, in this volume, he has 

 found a treasure. Peterson's Magazine. 



His eyes were open to see, and his ears to hear, every thing ; and, as the result of what he saw and 

 heard in " merrie " England, he has made one of the most spirited and attractive volumes of travels 

 aud observations that we have met with these many days. Traveller. 



It is with the feeling with which one grasps the hand of an old friend that we greet to our home and 

 heart the author of the Old Red Sandstone and Footprints of the Creator. Hugh Miller is one of the 

 most agreeable, entertaining, and instructive writers of the age ; and, having been so delighted with 

 him before, we open the First Impressions, and enter npon its perusal with a keen intellectual appe- 

 tite. "We know of nO work in England so full of adaptedness to the ago as this. It opens up clearly to 

 view the condition of its various classes, sheds new light into its social, moral, and religious history, 

 not forgetting its geological peculiarities, and draws conclusions of great value. Albany Spectator. 



"We commend the volume to our readers as one of more than ordinary value nnd interest, from the 

 pen of a writer who thinks for himself, nnd looks at mankind aud at nature through his own spec- 

 tacles. Traiiscript. 



The author, one of the most remarkable men of the age, arranged for this journey into England, 

 expecting to " lodge in humble cottages, and wear a humble dress, and see what was to be seen by 

 humble men only, society without its mask." Such an observer might be expected to bring to view 

 & thousand things unknown, or partially known before ; and abundantly docs he fulfil this expecta- 

 tion. It is one of the most absorbing books of the time. Portland Ch. Mirror.
