FENN'S PASTON LETTERS. Original Letters 
of the Paston Family, written during the 
Reigns of Henry VI., Edward IV., and 
Richard III., by various persons of rank and 
consequence, chiefly on historical subjects, new 
edition, with notes and corrections, complete in 
2 vols, bound in 1, square 12mo. cloth gilt, 
(pub. at 10s) reduced to 7s 6d 1840 
— — the same, quaintly boxind in maroon morocco, 
carved boards, in the early style, gilt edges, reduced 
to 15s 
The original edition of this very curious and inte- 
resting series of historical letters is a rare book, and 
sells for upwards of ten guineas. The present is not 
an abridgment, as might be supposed from its lorm, 
but gives the whole matter by omitting the duplicate 
version of the letters written in an obsolete language, 
and adopting only the more modern readable version 
published liy Fenn. 
" The Paston letters are an important testimony to 
the progressive condition of society, and come in as a 
precious link in the chain of the moral history of 
England, which they alone in this perio^ supply. 
They stand indeeil singly in iMiropc ; for though it is 
highly probable that in tlie aichives of Italian families, 
if not in France or Germany, a series of merely 
private letters equally ancient may be concealed, I 
do not recollect any th:it have been published. They 
were all wiitlen in the reigns of Henry VI. and 
Edward IV., except a few as late as Henry VII., by 
different members of a wealthy and respectable, but 
not noble, family; and are, tlicrefore, pictures of the 
life of the English gentry in that age^—Hallam.

"I am now reading the ' Pa>t<m Family Original 
Letters,' written in the wars of York and Lancaster, 
and am greatly entertained with them. Their antique 
Mr, their unstudied communication of the modes ot 
those old times, with their undoubteil authenticity, ren- 
der them highly interesting, curious, and informing. 
The Queen told me she had been much struck with ihu 
nuke of Suffolk's letter to his son. It is indeed botb

" I have read with the greatest admiration, the Essay* 
of Mr. F'oster. He is one of the most piolbund and 
eloquent writers that England has produced." 
Sir JUmes Macintosh. 
" The author places the idea which he wishes la 
present in such a flood of light, that it is not merely 
visible itself, but it seems to illumine all around it. He 
paints metaphysics, and has the happy art of arraying, 
what in other hands would appear cold and comlorlless. 
abstractions, in the warmest colours of fancy." 
JRobert Hall. 
" Mr. Foster's Essays are full of ingenuity and ori- 
ginal remarks. The style of them is at once terse and 
elegant."— /^iMira's Library Camp.

POPULAR IGNORANCE, new edition, 
elegantly printed, in fcap. 8vo. now first uni- 
form with his Essays on Decision of Character, 
eloth,5s . 1845 
" Mr. Foster always considered this his best work, 
and the one by which he wished his literary claims to 
be estimated. Its not having sold to anything like the 
extent of his other Essays was, he used to say, a proof 
of the Popular Ignorance." 
" A work which, popular and admired as it con- 
fessedly is, has never met with the thousandth part of 
the attention which it deserves."— Dr. Pye Smith. 
" If any have yet to learn ' the Evils of Popular 
Ignorance,' let them survey the chambers of Imagery 
in this original and aftecting Essay, and if they can 
receive impressions, they will never more forget that 
the people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
