Academic Mind of Ireland for the last two hundred 
and fifty years.' " 
" The author has not spared either time, labour, or 
expense in collecting and arranging this large body of 
facts, which he must have been years in acquiring, and 
his work must become a standard of reference to future 
generations. It gives the best history yet published 
of this celebrated University ; it embraces all the topics 
of interest connected with it; and will be read with deep 
interest as the first work giving to British people an 
adequate description of that national establishment for 
developing the intellectual power of the Irish people."

more entertaining, by dilating on what is most pictu- 
resque in its antiquities, its legends, and its scenery ; 
in short, comprehending within his scope all that the 
reader can require to know of the country and its in- 
habitants." — ife7v Monthly Mag.

"The present Tour embraces the land of the English 
dominion in France, and the scenes of the heroic ad- 
ventures of Joan de Arc— the field of the no less noble 
struggle of La Vendee — and of the sanguinary wars of 
the Huguenots at La Rochelle, and the country of 
Cognac and Claret, — rendered memorable also as the 
spot where flourished that terror of the curious. Blue 
Beard, the equally sanguinary Geotfrey Grand Bent, 
Diana of Poictiers, ' Les Penitens d'Amour,' and a whole 
host of historical characters of equal interest,— the 
attractiveness of the author's materials must be as 
manifest as that of Mrs. TroUope's name as editor." 
"These volumes are calculated to be both a useful 
guide and agreeable companion to any tourist through 
Western France. AVe like this class of books."
