HISTORY of the WAR of INDEPENDENCE in GREECE. 

 By THOMAS KEIGHTLEY, Esq. 



This is the best and almost the only complete account of the Greek war of 

 independence, and its details furnish us with better descriptions of the mo- 

 dern Greek character than any other English work can supply. 



" No one can read, without emotion, this plain and unvarnished narrative of dauntless 

 valour, devoted heroism, and unwearied perseverance in the cause of liberty, which 

 would not have been unworthy of the best days of ancient Greece. The style is concise, 

 perspicuous, and unpretending." Derbyshire Courier. 



LXII. 



HISTORY of the CONQUEST of PERU by the SPANIARDS. 

 By DON TELESFORO DE TRUEBA Y Cosio. 



The establishment of the independence of the South American republics 

 was attended by circumstances little understood in Europe, from the ignorance 

 that prevailed respecting the ancient history of the Spanish colonies. This 

 volume contains very valuable information on the subject, and is, besides, more 

 than ordinarily interesting from the pictures it contains of chivalrous enter- 

 prize, mixed with mercenary speculation, in the character and conduct of the 

 Spanish captains. 



" The material has been collected with much industry, and arranged with great spi- 

 rit." Literary Gazette. 



LXIII. LXIV. 



The ACHIEVEMENTS of the KNIGHTS of MALTA, 



from the Institution of the Hospitallers of St. John, in 1099, till 



the Political Extinction of the Order, by Napoleon, in 1800. 



By ALEXANDER SUTHERLAND, Esq. 



The History of the gallant community of the Knights of Malta is the most 

 extraordinary union of romantic incident with historic truth that can be ima- 

 gined. There never was a narrative, each page of which was crowded with 

 such strange and important events, and each sentence more replete with ex- 

 citing interest, than that contained in these volumes. 



" Most admirably has Mr. Sutherland sketched their chivalrous and romantic deeds." 

 Athenaeum. 



LXV. 



JOURNAL of a RESIDENCE in NORMANDY. 

 By J. A. ST. JOHN, Esq. 



This volume contains some very delightful descriptions of rustic manners 

 in a part of France rarely visited by tourists, and is replete with valuable in- 

 struction for those whom circumstances or inclination may lead to seek either 

 a permanent or temporary abode among our Gallic neighbours. 



" It is full of sound and healthy remark, new or hitherto unappropriated facts, and, 

 strange to say, light yet learned annotation and research. Its perusal is like reading a 

 .letter from relatives settled in another clime." Scots Times.
