" We hardly know how to convey an adequate notion 
of the exuberant whim and drollery by which this volume 
is characterized. It is a perpetual feast of gaiety. Ad- 
venture succeeds to adventure, scene to scene, character 
to character, and in all so much variety, so much 
genuine humour, that every taste must find something 
wherewith to be pleased. 'Arthur O'Leary's Wander- 
ings in many lands, carry us from Paris to Brussels, 
Crom Brussels to the Brunnens of Germany, among 
Dutch smugglers into the mountains of Spa,' along the 
banks of the Rhine; and every where fresh adventures, 
rich anecdotes, marvellous escapes, and unexpected 
wonders present themselves." — John Bull. 
" Mr. Lever has written himself up to great eminence, 
and is now one of the highest of our authors. This work 
is better than any of the preceding. It has many tales 
of great interest, and they are very well told."—

LOVER'S LEGENDS AND STORIES OF 
IRELAND, both Series, 2 vols. fcap. 8vo. 
Fourth Edition, embellhhed with woodcuts by 
Harvey, bound in cloth, with emblematical devices 
in gold on the covers, (pub. at IS*') reduced to 
7i 6d . 1837 
" Samuel Lover, the well-known author of Eory 
O'MORB, is the genuine author of Irish fun and Irish 
eccentricity ; he reports with exquisite fidelity the odd 
notions which his imaginative countrymen form of 
men and things, notions by which sober Englishmen are 
at once amused and puzzled. The ready retort, the 
mixture of cunning with apparent simplicity, and the 
complete thoughtlessness combined with shrewdness 
so frequently found in Ireland, have never been better 
pourtrayed than in these volumes. We recommend 
them to all who love merriment, as well as to those who 
wish to study national characteristics." — Athenceum. 
"With the cleverest etchings, here is a genuine Irish 
story-book of the most amusing character. Mr. Lover 
shews how to tell a tale in the ra-al Irish manner;— 
we see the people, we hear them— they are dramatized 
as they exist in nature, and all their peculiarities are 
touched with a master-hand." — Literary Gazette.

Blackwood, 1843 
" Tliese sea-papers are among the best we ever read. 
They give an animated picture of life on board a man- 
of-war." — Lit. Oaz. 
" This work we have no doubt will become a stan- 
dard novel. Bill Truck does not write like ' Cecil ;' his 
periods are more redolent of tar and grog than of Eau de 
Mousseline or Tokay ; but he is a positive sua-Pelham, 
if compared with some of his progeny. His adventures 
are capital, and capitally told, and well deserve to be 
Issued in their present compendious form." — AtlierKCum.

"Amiscellany of fugitive articles, chiefly talcs, comic 
and sentimental, prose and vtrsi.'; an excellent parlour- 
window book for a country-house." — Athenceum.

engravifl^j? on wood, after the masterly designs

volume, royal 8vo. elegantly bound in cloth with 
emblematical gilding on the back and sides/reduced ] 
to 9s . 1840 
•»• Of this very popular and remarkably beautiful 
book ten thousand copies have already been sold at the 
full price. 
" The ' History of Poor Jack' is so naive and yet so 
Interesting, that we have no hesitation in saying it is 
one of the very best of the author's very popular pro ■ 
ductions. It is, indeed a touching picture, noble in its 
simplicity, and comes home to the heart. The Illus- 
trations, from the pencil of Stanfield, for original con- 
ception, beauty, truth, and expression, appear to us to 
be quite equal to the high reputation of the artist,— the 
first marine painter in the world."— Xiierary Gazette. 
" ' Poor Jack' is just completed ; and a most amusing 
fellow he is, and a most amusing set of companions he 
brings with him. The book while it is interesting is 
hearty, and of a healthy stamp; the characters are 
sketched ofi' easily and boldly. Capt. Marrvat has been 
very fortunate in his illustrator, Mr. Stanfield, whose 
numerous designs (and very nt>merou8 they are) are 
executed with great power a«d truth."— Time*. 
" In the simple and graphic style in which this tale 
is written, Capt. Marryat has no compotitor— it is the 
truth and freedom of &mo\\e\.t."~United Service 
Journal.

clever illustrations by Phiz, extra cloth, (pub. at 
13s) reduced to 6s 6(i . 1843 
" A most interesting work. It affords us sincere 
pleasure to bespeak the imblic regards to this new mani- 
festation of Mr. Miller's literary powers. His account 
of a poor author struggling in London is evidently 
drawn from the life ; and it is impossible for us to 
read it without recognizing many facts and characters. 
Few living writers can present us with more truth and 
talent than these pages indicate. Some of Miller's 
sweet ))oetry is also interspersed throughout the 
volume." — Literary Gazette. 
" This work has a tone and an individuality which 
distinguish it from all others, and cannot be read 
without pleasure. Mr. Miller has the forms and colours 
of rustic life more completely under his controul than 
any of his predecessors." — Athcn<euin.

" Thig is by many degrees Mr. Miller's bctt novel. 
If he knew his own strength, he would never again 
venture upon any other ground— but loitering along 
the common side and the meadow-path, and sittinf 
under the yew-tree which shades the village ' public,'
