HISTORY OF THE 



REIGN OF FERDINAND AND ISABELLA, 



The Catholic. 

 BY WILLIAM H. PRESCOTT. 



* 



With splendid Portraits and Maps. 

 In Three Volumes, Octavo. Ninth Edition. 



In this Edition, the publishers have added a Map for the War of Granada, and

"The history of Spain cannot boast of a more useful ami admirable contribution since 

 tbe publication of the great work of Robertson." — British and Foreign Review. 



"Bold, indeed, it is ; but, in our judgment, eminently successful. On such works we 

 are content to rest the literary reputation of the country." — North American Review. 



" In every page, we have been reminded of that untiring patience and careful discrimi- 

 nation, which have given celebrity to the great, though not always impartial, historian of 

 the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." — New York Review. 



" .Mr. Prescott's is by much the first historical work which British America has yet pro- 

 duced, and oue that need hardly fear a comparison with any that has issued from the 

 European press since this century began." — London Quarterly' Review. 



"One of the most remarkable historical compositions that have appeared for a long 

 time." — Bibliotheque UniverseUe de Qenice. 



16 Mr. Prescott's merit chiefly consists in the skilful arrangement of his materials, in the 

 ipirit of philosophy which animates the work, and in a clear and elegant style, that charms 

 and interests the reader. His book is one of the most successful historical productions of 

 our time. The inhabitant of another world, beseems to have shaken off all the prejudices 

 I of ours. In a word, he has, in every respect, made a most valuable addition to our his- 



torical literature. " — Edinburgh. Review.

LIFE IN MEXICO, 



During a Residence of Two Years in that Country. 



BY MME. C DE LA B . 



In Two Volumes, Duodecimo. 



" To the fair author we owe our thanks for one of the most agreeable and instructive 

 books of the kind we have ever read. Indeed, we douht if, in the whole range of liter- 

 ature, there is any single work which presents so complete an idea of the society and 

 actual condition of a country, as this work of Mexico." — Boston Courier. 



These topics have been treated with more or less depth by the various travellers who 

 have written since the great publication of Humboldt. We have had occasion to become 



for 

 Id or 



oote, and lor the fascinating graces of style, no one of them is to be compared with « Life 

 in Mexico.' " — North American Review.

BY WASHINGTON ALLSTON. 



Who knows himself, must needs in prophecy 

 Too oft behold his most sad reverse.
