WALPOLE'S NEW LETTERS. 



THE LETTERS OF HORACE WALPOLE, EARL OF ORFORD, TO 

 SIR HORACE MANN, His Britannic Majesty's Resident at the Court of 

 Florence, from 1760 to 1785. Now first published from the original MSS. 

 In four parts, paper, at One Dollar each, or two handsome octavo volumes, cloth. 



It was believed that the immediate descendants of some of Walpole's curious anecdotes and racy g(js>si|i 

 cnigiit be pained by their early publication, and thus the wit of the dead has been restrained until tlic living 

 chould DO longer be wounded by its piquancy. 



HISTORICAL MEMOIRS OF MY OWN TIMES, by Sir N. William 

 WraxalL In two parts, paper, or one volume extra cloth. 



This is the work for which, in consequence of his portraiture of Catherine II., 

 the author was imprisoned and fined. 



" Wraxall a one of the most amusing hoarders of Anecdotes of public men since the days of the memo- 

 rable Boswell. These memoirs are distinguished for their refinement as well as the abundance of original 

 anecdotes which they contain of all the personages of the day most remarkable for profound talent, for wit, 

 or fot bea«ity." — BlackaoetVi Magaiine. 



POSTHUMOUS MEMOIRS OF HIS OWN TIMES, by Sir N. William 

 WraxalL In two parts, paper, at seventy-five cents each, or one volume extra 

 cloth- 



The author assigns a good reason for making these Memoirs " Posthumous." Taught by the experience of 

 (lis former series of Memoirs, that those in power dislike their secret intrigues to be laid open, he took the 

 only plan to avoid the effects of their inevitable anger, and not only prevented the appearance of these 

 interesting and amusing Memoirs during his life, but took care that they should not appear till after the 

 decease of George IV, then Prince Regent. The matters which made the work dangerous to the author, 

 reader it peculiarly attractive to the reader.
