CONSTABLE'S MISCELLANY. 7 



xm. XIV. 



MARINER'S ACCOUNT of the NATIVES of the TONGA 

 ISLANDS, in the South Pacific Ocean. 



From this work the most striking portions of Lord Byron's poem, The 

 Island, have been derived. 



" We have had many striking pictures of savage life and manners, but never so fine a 

 piece of savage history as is contained in these volumes." Quarterly Review. 



XV. XVI. 



HISTORY of the REBELLION in SCOTLAND, 

 in 1745, 1746. 



By ROBERT CHAMBERS, Author of " Traditions of Edinburgh," &c. 



In these volumes will be found many of the traditions on which the novels 

 of Waverley and Redgauntlet have been founded. 



" Till Sir Walter Scott, or Stewart of Garth, take up the pen, this history must remain 

 the popular and standard narrative of these civil broils." Edinburgh Observer. 

 " It is a work of high national interest." Caledonian Mercury. 



XVII. 



VOYAGES and EXCURSIONS on the EAST COAST, and in 

 the INTERIOR of CENTRAL AMERICA. 



By ORLANDO W. ROBERTS, many years a resident trader. 



The countries described have been rarely visited by Europeans, and by 

 none under circumstances so favourable to observation as Mr. Roberts. The 

 volume contains some curious pictures of savage life, and is enriched by 

 valuable practical hints respecting the extension of commerce in the Pacific 

 Ocean. 



XVIII. XIX. 



The HISTORICAL WORKS of FREDERICK SCHILLER, 

 from the German. 



By GEORGE MOIR, Esq. Translator of " Wallenstein." 



The history of the thirty years' war, which, after unparalleled vicissitudes, 

 terminated in securing the establishment of the Protestant religion and the 

 independence of the Germanic states, is here related by Schiller, whose name 

 is scarcely second to Goethe's in the modern continental literature. 



" We are really grateful to Mr. Constable for having introduced this excellent history 

 into his ' Miscellany.' It bears throughout the stamp of genius; it is distinguished in 

 every part by deep research, order, and perspicuity; by an enlightened humanity, sound 

 policy, a noble and manly philosophy, an ardent admiration of liberty, and, above all, by 

 an uncompromising love of truth, rarely met with in an historian." London Weekly 

 Revieiu. 



" Of the present translation, we have to say, that it is like every thing of the kind 

 which has issued from Mr. Moir's hands the most perfect specimen of correct and spi- 

 rited transmutation." Scots Times.
