FRANCIS BERRIAN ; OR THE MEXICAN PATRIOT. BY W. FLINT. 



THREE VOLUMES. LONDON : 1834. NEWMAN AND Co. 

 VERILY we had feared that the publishing glories of the East had 

 been totally eclipsed by the effulgence of the West that the long 

 sustained fame of Leadenhall-street had been forgotten in the new- 

 won honours of Burlington and Albemarle streets, and departed for 

 ever ! But, " like a giant refreshed with wine/' lo ! here we have 

 Masters Newman and Co. armed cap-a-pee for adventure in the guise 

 of a Mexican Patriot, whose heart of " flint" will bear him gallantly 

 on through " perilous path" to victory. In plain words, these are 

 three exceedingly original and entertaining volumes, and are worth a 

 dozen of some that we wot of " that have been praised, and that 

 highly too." 



THE BABOO, AND OTHER TALES, DESCRIPTIVE OF SOCIETY IN 

 INDIA. Two VOLUMES. LONDON: 1834. SMITH, ELDER, AND Co. 



THESE interesting volumes come before the public under circum- 

 stances so peculiarly calculated to insure them a kind reception, that 

 the reviewer can have little else to do respecting them than conscien- 

 tiously and heartily to recommend them to notice. They are the 

 first productions of a young man in the civil employment of the East 

 India Company, who died on his passage home, and are published by 

 his widow, in a laudable spirit of admiration for his talents, as a 

 monument to his memory. They evince a fine imagination, con- 

 siderable tact, and great facility of language ; and the only faults that 

 we can discover in them are only such as a little more experience 

 would have wholly rectified. They consist of sketches illustrative of 

 life and manners in India, which, although sometimes exaggerated, 

 are always deeply interesting or highly entertaining. They portray 

 characters and depict scenes of which we, in this northerm clime, can 

 have no idea but from sketches such as these, and with which we are 

 as yet but very imperfectly acquainted ; and we cannot sufficiently 

 lament the premature loss of one who, had he lived, might have pro- 

 duced an East Indian companion on our shelves to the Gil Bias of 

 Spain, and the Hajji Baba of Persia. 



LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. 



THE PILGRIMS of THE RHINE, by the AUTHOR of PELHAM. The 

 delay in the publication of this costly work has arisen from the de- 

 sire of giving to the Illustrations the highest possible degree of 

 finish. 



Mrs. Jameson, the authoress of " Characteristics of Women" is 

 about to publish her VISITS AND SKETCHES AT HOME AND ABROAD. 



The new novel from the pen of the author of " Mothers and 

 Daughters" is to be entitled " THE HAMILTONS."
