rounded by those bright constellations in the courtly 
hemisphere. Bacon, Cecil, and Raleigh : when the 
cause of literature was accelerated in its glorious march 
by the undying efforts of Shakespeare and Jonson— who 
lived " not for an age but for all time."— Herald.

of works among which Ihey will rank."— Naval and

ent varieties ofl,\(e—Mfssenger. 
"It isa real pleasure to find this gifted writer again 
contributing the treasures of his mind to the general 
stock of our literature. His writings are of higher pur- 
pose and value than to be read and forthwith dismissed ; 
they are of the kind to be stored in private libraries, and 
recurred to from lime to time as a still fresh solace and 
delight."— Sura. 
PICTURES OF THE WORLD at Home

cloth, (pub. at £1.1 h6d) reduced to 7s 6(i 1843 
" This i;ew work, by the accomplished author of 
' Tremaine,' consists of three distinct tales, each occu- 
pying one volume. The first is entitled ' Sterling.' In 
point of real and exact observations of life, in happy, 
easy, and spirited portrayal of character, it may rank 
with the best of Air. Ward's previous productions. 
The second story is called ' Penruddock, or the Higii- 
minded,' and nobly does the tale answer to the lofty 
demands of its title. ' Penruddock' is one of th* most 
pure, perfect, and natural delineations that is to be foDud 
in prose fiction. The third story is called ' The En- 
thusiast,' and is introduced by an admirable essay on 
enthusiasm, which will be looked upon by many readers 
as the most enduring gem, the crowning feature of the 
whole work." — New jflon. Mag.
