Of these two indispensable worlis iti an Eiiglisli 
Historical Library, only 250 copies were printed, and 
bnt very few now remain for sale. As tliere is no ]>ro- 
bability of llicir ever beins reprinted, tliere is little 
doubt, but that in a few years botli works will become 
rare and valuable. 
The former edilion of the Progresses of Queen Eliza- 
beth, less complete than the present, had become so 
extremely scarce, that copies were repeatedly sold by 
public auction for upwards of £40. 
The procresses of Kinp; James have only been once 
printed. The two works include the republication of 
rare historical and poetical tracts, the originals of 
which, if they could be bought, would be worth more 
than a thousand pounds. 
No library, into which the English Chronicles, State 
Paj)ers, the Harleian Miscellany, and Lord Somere' 
Collection of Tracts are admitted, should be without 
these important volumes, which form a connected 
History of the Courts of Elizabeth and James, and 
afford a living picture of the manners of England, its 
pursuits and its amusements for three-quarters of a 
century, (1553 to 1625.) They also develope numerous 
inteiesting and unknown anecdotes of most of our 
Nohle Families, and in many cases the circumstances 
of their rise and first elevation to the Peerage.

Queen Elizabeth, Bvo. with Fac-Similes of 
tvriting, in extra cloth boards, (pub. at 12s) 
reduced to 4s 6rf . 1823 
" This is a valuable piece of historico-biographical 
information. It contains a minute investigation of 
the question as to Elizabeth's privity and consent to the 
death of her sister, Mary Queen of Scots. It is a 
truly valuable accession to the historical library."

NIEBUHR'S HISTORY OF ROME, epitomized, 
with Chronological Tables and an Appendix, 
by Travers Twiss, B.C.L. 2 vols. 8vo. extra 
cloth, (pub. at£l. Is) reduced to 12s 
Oxford, Talboys, 1837 
"Niebuhr has thrown new light upon our knowledge 
of Roman affairs, to a degree of which those who are 
unacquainted with his labours can scarcely form an 
adequate idea.."— (Quarterly Review. 
" This edition by Mr. Twiss is a very valuable addi- 
tion to classical learning, clearly and ably embodying 
all the latest efforts of the laborious Niebuhr. The 
chronological tables ,ire excellent ; and, indeed, the 
whole is a work most fitting for the library of every in- 
telligent re.ider." — Literary Gazette. 
"This is a truly valuable work, which for the first time 
presents the researches of Niebuhr to English students 
in an accessible form. Mr. Twiss has judiciously ex- 
punged those passages in which Niebuhr exhibited so 
strange a mixture of scepticism and credulity. In the 
appendix there are some original investigations which 
display great learning and acuteness ; we were particu- 
larly pleased with that on the office of the Dictator, 
which appears to us the most satisfactory account that 
has yet been given of that anomaly in the Roman con- 
stitution." — AihencBum. 
NIMROD ABROAD, (being Observations made

sule$, (pub. at £1. Is) reduced to Ss 1842 
" Our sporting readers will welcome with delight this 
new production of the popular author ot ' The Chaw, 
the Turf, and the Road.' In these volumes the famous 
Nimrod, from whose sporting dicta there is no apjHjal, 
carries the reader with him to enjoy every species of 
sport which the wide world affords. We have sohfom 
seen Mr. Ai)pcrIoy more at home or to better purpose 
than in these volumes, while partaking of the princely 
hosi)itality of the late Duke of Orleans or the Prince of 
Woskowa, or of a score of the sporting noblemen in 
all i)arts of the civilized world." — New Monthly.

at £11.) reduced to £3. 3s 1823 
" These Travels are sp replete with new and invalu- 
able matter, that we «H>nfess ourselves unequal to do 
them justice by a synopsis ; and they assuredly must 
rank high among the most Important books of reference 
of which we are possessed. They and Burckhardt's de- 
serve a place on the same shelf : — a place to which no 
other Eastern travels have hitherto attained." — Clas- 
sical Journal, 
PARDOE'S (MISS) RIVER AND THE DE- 
SART, or Recollections of the Rhone and the

former productions." — Atlas.

" An able and very interesting work." — Athentxum. 
" There is much research, and much interesting infor- 
mation, in the present volumes ; Miss Pardoe hasbeen 
an industrious and inquisitive traveller.and has success- 
fully studied the institutions of the country, and tlio 
customs and character of the people with wliom she 
dwelt. The book i>artakes of the nature both of a his- 
tory an of a book of travel : one portion of it pleases 
us by its graphic details, and its amusing anecdotes, 
another interests us by its researches info the political 
and statistical state of Hucsfary. Much will be new, 
not only to those who have never resided in that singu- 
larly interesting part of Europe, but even to many 
persons who have visited it. It is, indeed, a book of 
sterling merit." — GcnVs Mag.
