HOWIIT'S (WILLIAM) LIFE AND 
ADVENTURES OF JACK OF THE 
MILL; a Fireside Story, by William 
HowiTT, second edition, 2 vols. fcap. 8vo. 
tvith A6 iliuitrations on wood, extra cloth, (pub. at 
15s) reduced to Is 6d 1845 
A more entertaining or better written tale for yoiitli 
has never been penned since Robinson Crusoe ; young 
or old will without question find pleasure in its perusal, 
and be sure not to lay it down until tliey have gone 
entirely through it. 
" Two pleasantly written and beautifully got-up 
volumes, intended for the juvenile portion of the com- 
munity, and adapted to tlieir capacity. Mr. Howitt 
possesses the hapi)y knack of accommodating himself 
to the youthful mind : and there can be no question 
that his ' Jack of the Mill' will become a favourite." 
Obneiver. 
'" Jack of the Mill' we shall not be surprised to 
find carried the circuit of the kingdom, and whirled by 
tlie acclamation of a million youthful voices to the 
topmost heights of popularity." — Britannia. 
" A tale of powerful and thrilling interest, told in 
that peculiar style, so remarkable for its combined 
grace and nervousness, for which Mr. Howitt has 
hitherto been so eminently distinguished. Jack of the 
Mill, is a most wonderful character; he accomplishes 
feats of ingenuity and achieves prodigies of valour 
that are quite beyond the teach of ordinary mortals. 
No ditScullies are too great for him to encounter. It 
is just such a book as one would like to take up of a 
cold winter's evening, while the rain is falling and the 
v/ind whistling without." — Sunday Times. 
" Jack's adventures are told by Mr. Howitt with 
a spirit as unflagging as if he were again a boy, and 
are sufficient to command many a dozen of open- 
mouthed listeners. There is good faith in his manner 
of narrative, even where the incidents are the most 
improbable, which, as has been elsewhere said, re- 
minds the reader strongly of Defoe." — AtheTucum. 
WANDERINGS OF A JOURNEYMAN 
TAILOR, through Europe and tbe East, 
during the Years 1824 to 1840, by P. D. 
HoLTHAus, translated from the last German Edi- 
tion, by William Howitt, fcap. 8vo. with 
portrait of the Tailor, extra cloth, (pub. at 6s) 
reduced to 3s 6d . 1844 
" He has scrambled amongst the Klephtes, played 
with the Neapolitan sharpers, brought home a pil- 
grim's certificate from the Holy Sepulchre, worn out 
his appointed days in quarantine and his weary weeks 
in hospitals, and, in short, is a tailor in ten thousand, 
to whom the world should bid welcome." — Atheneeum. 
" Except 'The Bible in Spain,' we have not had 
80 interesting a ' wander-book' for years." 
Christian Reformer. 
" He has traversed Germany, Poland, Hungary, and 
VVallachia several times ; gazed with professional de- 
light on the varied costumes in Constantinople and 
Alexandria ; ascended the Nile ; climbed the Pyra- 
mids; dodged the Bedouins; kneeled as a pilgrim 
in the Holy City; stood in adoration on Mount Zion ; 
cut a walking-stick on Mount Tabor ; washed in the 
Lake of Gcnntsareth ; slept by the side of the Dead 
Sea; braved the robbers of " blest Arcady :" narrowly 
escaped being married at Malta by rianisils who are 
worse than Sam VVeller's widows ; and being stoned 
for his impertinent curiosity in attempting to enter 
Solomon's mosque at Jerusalem. His discriptions of 
all these various places are clear and vivid ; the ex- 
pression of his feelings simple and natural." — Critic. 
" Worth a host of the imiiosing tlieories of your 
fafhionable tourist. Fidelity, simplicity, fhrewdiiess, 
arc the capital merits of this bonk." — Inquirrr.

" The intense spirit and frolic of the author's sketches, 
have made him one of the most successful writers of 
the day." " Some sketches of Mr. O'Leary, a few years 
since, in Harry Lonequor's " Confessions," make him 
not entirely a new portrait ; but he is here at full 
length, and in Mr. Lever's best style."— Literary 
Gazette. 
"Tho author is pre-eminent for his mirth-movinR 
powers, for his acute sense of the ridicniou?, for the 
breadth of his humour, and for his power of dramatic 
writinpr, which renders his boldest conceptions with the 
happiest facility. It is seldom, indeed, that wo have met, 
in any volume, with such frequent occasions for a 
hearty and prolonged lausrh, and in wliich the racinessof 
the fun more often amounts to wit. 
In Arthur O'Leary Mr. Lever's style is decidedly ira 
proved." — Atheneeum.
