IX. VOYAGES and ADVENTURES of the 



COMPANIONS of COLUMBUS. By WASHINGTON IRVING, 

 Author of the Life of Columbus, &c. 1 vol. 8vo. 



" Of the main work, we may repeat that it possesses the value of impor- 

 tant history, and the magnetism of romantic adventure. It sustains in every 

 respect the reputation of Irving." " We may hope that the gifted author will 

 treat in like manner the enterprises and exploits of Pizarr and Cortt sj and 

 thus complete a series of elegant recitals, which will contribute to the t special 

 gratification of Americans, and form an imperishable fund of delightful instruc- 

 tion for all ages and countries." Nat. Gaz. 



'* As he leads us from one savage tribe to another, as he paints successive scenes, 

 of heroism, perseverance, and self-denial, as he wanders among the magnificent 

 scenes of nature, as he relates with scrupulous fidelity the errors, and the crimes, 

 even of those whose lives are for the most part marked with trails to command 

 admiration, and perhaps esteem every where we find him the same undeviat- 

 ing, but beautiful moralist, gathering from every incident some lesson to pre- 

 sent in striking language to the reason and the heart. Where his story leads him 

 to some individual, or presents some incident which raises our smiles, it is re- 

 corded with that naive humour, which is the more effective from its simplicity; 

 where he finds himself called on to tell some tale of misfortune or wo and how 

 of ten must he do so when the history of the gentle and peaceful natives of the 

 Antilles jre his subject the reader is at a loss whether most to admire the beauty 

 of the picture he paints, or the deep pathos which he imperceptibly excites." 

 American Quarterly Review. 



X. A CHRONICLE of the CONQUEST oi 



GRENADA. By WASHINGTON IRVING, Esq. in 2 vols. 



" On the whole, this work will sustain the high fame of Washington Irving. 

 *t fills a blank in the historical library which ought not to have remained so 

 : *mg a blank. The language throughout is at once chaste and animated; and 

 the narrative may be said, like Spenser's Fairy Queen, to present one long gal- 

 lery of splendid pictures. Indeed, AVC know no pages from which the artist is 

 more likely to derive inspiration, nor perhaps are there many incidents in lite- 

 rary history more surprising than that this antique and chivalrous story should 

 have been for the first time told worthily by the pen of an American and a re- 

 publican." London Literary Gazette.
