MR. MURRA Y'S LIST. 



THE FIVE ANCIENT MONARCHIES OF THE 



EAST; 



OR THE HISTORY OF CHALDiEA, ASSYRIA, BABYLON, MEDIA, 



AND PERSIA. 



By GEORGE RAWLINSON, M.A., 



Camden Professor of Ancient History at Oxford. 

 With Map and Illustrations. 4 vols. 8vo. 16s. each. 



" Mr. Rawlinson has now completed his 

 valuable work. He hos placed within the 

 reach of English readers all that we as yet 

 know of those great i'abrics of eastern power 

 of which the names are so familiar to us, and 

 which affected more or less directly the history 



in which we are most interested. Mr. Raw- 

 linson has taken the subject in hand fully and 

 comprehensively, and with the advantage of 

 discoveries which are new since Niebuhr." —

THE HUGUENOTS: 



THEIR SETTLEMENTS, CHURCHES, AND INDUSTRIES IN GREAT BRITAIN 



AND IRELAND. 



By SAMUEL SMILES. 



Second Edition. 8vo. 16s. 



" He has chosen the prosaic side of Hu- 

 guenot history, and has made it as fascina- 

 ting as a romance. He has not essayed to 

 depict the religious heroism or the social tra- 

 gedy of the Huguenot story — he has restricted 

 himself to the economical influence of its mi- 

 grations, and he has made the statistics and 



genealogies — of which his work is full— as 

 interesting as Homer's list of ships and heroes, 

 or as Milton's array of the demi-gods of hell. 

 Mr. Smiles has pursued liis investigations 

 witli a laborious minuteness ; and yet it is as 

 impossible to skip a pnge as in reading his 

 Life of Stephenson." — British Quarterly. 



REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT 



IN THE UNITED STATES DURING THE LAST EIGHTY YEARS. 

 By LOUIS J. JENNINGS. 



Second Edition. Post Svo. 10s. 6c?. 



" A more forcible or more lucid account of 

 the ideas of American Constitutionalists, and 

 especially of Constitutionalists of the present 

 day, it would be hard to find, or one expressed 

 with such an entire freedom from verbal sur- 

 plusage. There are not five sentences in the 

 book which could be excised without percep- 



tible loss to the reader. Mr. Jennings de- 

 scribes a delicate and complicated constitution 

 in words as finely chosen, in phrases as clearly 

 definite as its own provisions, and for any 

 reader familiar with politics but ignorant of 

 the American Constitution, we could desire 

 no safer guide." — Spectator.
