CAMPBELL'S LORD CHANCELLORS. 



JUST PUBLISHED. 



LIVES OF THE LORD CHANCELLORS AND KEEPERS OF THE 



GREAT SEAL OF ENGLAND, 



FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE REIGN OF KING GEORGE IV., 

 BY JOHN LORD CAMPBELL, A. M., F. R. S. E. 



First Series, forming three neat volumes in demy octavo, extra cloth. 



Bringing the work to the time of Lord Jeffries. 

 The second series will shortly follow in three volumes to match. 



It is sufficient for us to thank Lord Campbell for tne honest industry with which he has 

 thus far prosecuted his large task, the general candor and liberality with which he has 

 analyzed the lives and characters of a long succession of influential magistrates and min- 

 isters, and the manly style of his narrative. We need hardly say that we shall expect with 

 great interest the continuation of this performance. But the present series of itself is more 

 than sufficient to give Lord Campbell a high station among the English authors of his age. 

 Quarterly Rev. 



The volumes teem with exciting incidents, abound in portraits, sketches and anecdotes, 

 and are at once interesting and instructive. The work is not only historical and biographi- 

 cal, but it is anecdotal and philosophical. Many of the chapters embody thrilling incidents, 

 while as a whole, the publication may be regarded as of a high intellectual order. Inquirer. 



A work in three handsome octavo volumes, which we shall regard as both an ornament 

 and an honor to our library. A History of the Lord Chancellors of England from the insti- 

 tution of the office, is necessarily a History of the Constitution, the Court, and the Jurispru- 

 dence of the Kingdom, and these volumes teem with a world of collateral matter of the live- 

 liest character for the general reader, as well as with much of the deepest interest for the pro- 

 fessional or philosophical mind. Saturday Courier. 



A work of enduring interest, as well from the signal ability with which it is written, as 

 from the great names whose personal history and official acts it enumerates. Richmond 

 Whig.

BY W. T. PORTER, ESQ., EDITOR OF THE N. Y. SPIRIT OF THE TIMES. 



In one large octavo volume, rich extra cloth, with numerous Illustrations. 



" Here is a book, a hand-book, or rather a text-bookone that contains the whole routine of the science. It is 

 the Primer, the Lexicon, and the Homer. Every thing is here, from the minutest portion of a gun-lock, to a 

 dead Buffalo. The sportsman who reads this book understandingly, may pass an examination. He will know 

 the science, and may give advice to others. Every sportsman, and sportsmen are plentiful, should own this 

 work. It should be a " vade mecum." He should be examined on its contents, and estimated by his abilities 

 to answer. We have not been without treatises on the art, but hitherto they have not descended into all II 

 minutiae of equipments and qualifications to proceed to the completion. This work supplies deficiencies, and 

 completes the sportsman's library." 17. S. Gazette.

 met with. We think we can do a service to our juvenile readers by recommending it to their study, tnouj 

 may be read profitably by many of either sex who wear beards or bishops.'' Richmond Times. 



" It shows the young reader why his present toys enact such wonderful pranks, and how new or 

 constructed even more remarkable ; and contains matter enough within its cover to amuse anousel 

 ably for a twelvemonth." NeaPs Saturday Gazette.
