THE ARABIAN NIGHTS. 



A completely new and elegant edition, Revised throughout, with 

 Notes, by the REV. GEORGE FYLER TOWNSEND. 640 pages, 

 elegantly printed in a new type by BALLANTYNE, ROBERTS, and 

 Co., and Illustrated with sixteen page Plates by HOUGHTON, 

 DALZIEL, &c. 



"This edition has our decided preference. A careful excision removes 

 all the incidents and expressions permitted in others to pass with impunity 

 as Eastern language, and which are on all sides admitted to be uncongenial 

 to the purity of an English home, or unfitted to endure the minute ques- 

 tionings of children. At the same time it omits no single narrative or 

 adventure. Another great recommendation is the wonderful improvement 

 of the text. The illustrations and the notes seem also to have had their 

 full share of justice; and as well-bestowed labour generally meets its 

 reward, so we expect it will in a few years be the universally received and 

 standard English edition of the 'Arabian Nights' Entertainments.'"

A TOUR ROUND MY GARDEN. 



BY ALPHONSE KARR. 

 REVISED AND EDITED BY THE REV. J. G. WOOD. 



The Third Edition, finely printed on Tinted Paper. With 

 upwards of 117 Illustrations, from Designs by W. HARVEY. 



" Have you ever read ' A Tour Round my Garden,' by Alphonse Karr ? 

 You should read it ; it is a book of deep philosophy, showing what com- 

 pensations the Creator provides for persons of different stations. Its first 

 object is to solace those who cannot travel, by showing that in the small 

 compass of a Paris garden all the advantages of travel are to be obtained, 

 without its expense and inconveniences. On the other hand, it consoles 

 those who have not a yard of ground of their own, by showing that they 

 are free of the whole earth, whereas every possessor becomes to the extent 

 of his possession a prisoner. All such books do good, by showing us the 

 relative importance of the hobbies which we ride." Black-wood's Mag.
