 2 Vols. 8vo, 26s. 



" Mr. Hill's Correspondence, though not set forth with any such view, is a supplement to the 

 ' MARLBOROUGH DESPATCHES,' and a needful explanation of them on some material points." 

 Examiner.

 Literary Gazette. 



LYELL'S JOURNAL OF A GEOLOGIST IN NORTH 



AMERICA. Maps and Plates. 2 Vola. post 8vo. 21s. 



"We regard the work as one of the best books of travels that has appeared for some years : the 

 matter well selected ; the style easy, finished, and endowed with a quiet animation ; the manner 

 straightforward, off-hand and courteous though conclusive, like that of a man of the world ; whilst, 

 perhaps, as a consequence of all this, the narrative is rapid, rather inducing a wish for more than 

 a sense of weariness." Spectator. 



" Mr. Lyell visited America not merely as a man of science or a philosopher, but as a man of sense 

 and of the world, eminently imbued with qualifications to constitute him an astute observer of nature, 

 whether displayed in the forms of landscape scenery, or unfolded by the conditions of his fellow-men." 

 Literary Gazette. 



"Although so many works have been written on America, not any of these have been the produc- 

 tions of men of science, and this is a feature which gives peculiar interest to the volumes before us. 

 Few have gone to America resolved to observe its state of society and its institutions, as necessary 

 results of certain circumstances acting on man, and prepared to point out the relation of cause and 

 effect in the spirit of philanthropy and love of truth. The object of Mr. Lyell does not appear to have 

 been so much the study of the inhabitants and institutions, as the solid earth on which they rest ; 

 nevertheless, his observations and remarks on the former are not few, and are not wanting in that 

 candour and freedom from prejudice, which make us regret that they are not more numerous." 

 Athenceum. 



BARROW'S MEMOIRS OF THE NAVAL WORTHIES 



OF QUEEN ELIZABETH'S REIGN. 8vo. 14s. 



" Mr. Barrow has in this nationally interesting volume laid before us concise but sufficient descrip- 

 tions of the state of the navy from the time of Henry VIII., and of the progress made under its gallant 

 leaders, whose undertakings and adventures follow the general view." Literary Gazette. 



' Mr. Barrow is industrious, earnest in his task, and agreeable in his manner; he has a hearty 

 sympathy with his subject, sees what he does see clearly, and infuses a species of vitality into his 

 narrative." Spectator.
