 CAPTAIN HALL'S VOYAGES, 



viz- I- Voyage to Loo Choo, &c. in the Eastern Seas. 



II. Interview with Napoleon, at St. Helena, in August, 1817. 



III. Journal written on the Coasts of Chili, Mexico, and Peru. 



Captain Hall is too well and too favourably known to the public, to require 

 any remarks on his great and varied qualifications as a descriptive writer. 

 His voyages now rank among the standard works of English literature, and 

 must hold that place while the union of a sailor's frankness, with a scholar's 

 refinement, will be justly estimated. Being uniform with his interesting 



Fragments of Voyages and Travels," it forms a very appropriate companion. 



"We do not know a more entertaining traveller, or one who more graphically de- 

 u be , s r Persons and places in the various interesting countries he visited." Scots Times

MEMOIRS of the 

 MARCHIONESS LAROCHE-JAQUELEIN. 



With a Preface and Notes, by Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart. 



This volume contains a narrative of the Vendean War, by a lady who per- 

 sonally shared in all the exciting events of that unparalleled campaign. 



"While it contains an important picture of French history, it is fall of romantic adven- 

 ures, and ot sentiments in the highest tone of chivalrous loyalty." Courant. 



It is the most affecting piece of female autobiography that has hitherto been given to 

 the public. She is the only authentic historian of the revolutionary troubles of her own 

 district." Observer.

CONVERTS from INFIDELITY. 

 By ANDREW CRICHTON. 



Archbishop Sharpe said that the best evidences of Christianity might be 

 obtained from the death-bed these volumes amply illustrate the truth of his 

 assertion, and show that the philosophy which leads men to forget religion in 

 the vigour of life and sunshine of prosperity, deserts them at their utmost 

 need : and that in the time of adversity and of sickness, piety alone is a source 

 of consolation, and pure religion the only support in the hour of death.
