HISTORY OF THE MUTINY AT SPIT- 

 HEAD AND THE NOEE. 



By J. NEALE, Esq., Author of " Cavendish." 

 With an Inquiry into its Origin and Treatment. With a 



Portrait of RICHARD PARKER. 



Resistance to authorities necessarily enlists so few abettors, 

 that, even when it originates in cruelty, injustice, and injury, 

 its correction is demanded by the voice of the nation. To 

 this feeling must be traced 'the flagrant partiality of our 

 historians in describing the Mutiny of the Nore, and their 

 misrepresentation of the causes of that calamity. Viewed 

 at this distance of time, it is remembered as the foundation 

 of that splendid and perfect discipline which has ever since 

 pervaded and adorned the fleet, and as the cause for 

 abolishing the despotic practice of impressment. But from 

 these memorable movements legislators may receive a lesson, 

 and learn how much more faithful freemen are than slaves 

 to a state in danger, and more binding the ties of gratitude 

 and affection than the terror of tyranny. This is the moral 

 reduced from the Mutiny of the Nore in the present history. 



TOUE THROUGH SOUTH HOLLAND AND 

 UP THE EHINE. 



With 10 Views, from Designs of LiEUT.-CoL. BATTY. 

 It is strange that the history and condition of Holland 

 should be so little known, and that it till now should never 

 have been made the subject of a popular work. The object 

 of this little book is not merely to afford entertainment, but 

 to furnish that valuable and practical information, which 

 will render it a desirable guide-book to all who are tempted 

 to take a summer's trip across Holland, up the Rhine, and 

 through Belgium ; visiting Rotterdam, the Hague, Amster- 

 dam, Cologne, Coblentz, Frankfort, Brussels, and Antwerp, 



THE LIVES OF SCOTTISH WOETHIES. 



By PATRICK FRASER TYTLER, Esq. 3 Vols. 

 " Truth is strange, stranger than fiction." The romantic 

 annals of Scotland, and the characters of her ancient 

 heroes -Wallace, Bruce, and the like, will go far to convert 

 this expression into an axiom.
