ADAIR (SIR ROBERT) —AN HISTORICAL MEMOIR OF A MISSION 



TO THE COURT OF VIENNA IN 1806. By the Right Honorable Sir Robert Adair, G.C.B. 

 With a Selection from his Despatches, published by permission of the proper Authorities. 

 8vo. 18s. cloth. 



*' We sincerely thank the distinguished author of this memoir for giving it to the world. 

 This book is more than materials for history; it is almost history itself. It relates, 

 .from authentic and unquestionable sources, the negotiations entered upon in 1806 for a 

 peace with France, and clearly and succinctly states the causes of failure. The narra- 

 tive is marked by the best qualtties of the English mind— sincerity , plain speaking, and good 

 faith; and it moreover affords information, never till now accessible, the absence of which 

 has compelled every successive Enslish historian, in common with the political writers of that 

 day, to slur the period of our history to which it refers; whilst our less scruptilous foreign 

 contemporaries have Jilled up the hiatus prejudicially to England, and disseminated erroneous 

 views of our policy, which this Memoir places at once and for the first time in its true light.' 1 ''

AIKIN.— THE LIFE OF JOSEPH ADDISON. 



Illustrated by many of his Letters and Private Papers never before published. By Lucy 

 Aikin. 2 vols, post 8vo. with Portrait from Sir Godfrey Kneller's Picture. 18s- cloth. 

 *' It is impossible to be otherwise than pleased with the instructive and sensible biography 

 with which Miss Aikin has here presented us. It is the first attempt to furnish a memoir of 

 Addison at all equal to the merit of the subject; it is a pleasing and interesting work, and 

 supplies a desideratum in literary history. In the execution of her labour, Miss Aikin has 

 exercised praiseworthy diligence; she has ransacked among those fine and inexhaustible 

 sources of personal and national interest— family papers, and has succeeded in rescuing from 

 the obscurity of worm-eaten chests, and from the bondage of red tape, many documents 

 which throw light on the most doubtful parts of his history, and relieve his character from the 

 reproaches attempted to be cast on it. She has produced, both in style and matter, a very 

 interesting work, creditable to her feelings and talents, and honourable to her industry."

AMY HERBERT. 



By a Lady. Edited by the Rev. William Sewell, B.D. of Exeter College, Oxford. 2 vols, 

 foolscap 8vo. 9s. cloth. 



" The object of this interesting little work is, under the attractive form of an agreeable 

 fiction, and by means of well-contrived incidents, to inculcate and exemplify the incalculable 

 advantages of a strictly religious and moral education. The style is simple and elegant, and 

 the narrative so constructed as to interest the reader by its character, apart from the religious 

 and moral teaching to which it is made subservient. Its great merit is, the skilful blending 

 of amusemen t with the teaching of all the kindlier virtues and christian graces."— John Bull. 



BAILEY.— ESSAYS ON THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH, 



And on the Progress of Knowledge. By Samuel Bailey, author of "Essays on the Formation 

 and Publication of Opinions," "Berkeley's Theory of Vision," etc. 2d Edition, revised 

 and enlarged, 8vo. 9s. 6d. cloth. 

 " Mr. Bailey is an admirable writer, both as to the general tone of thought and sentiment, 

 and as to his style, which is clear , forcible, and elegant. On the class of subjects to which he 

 has chiefly directed his attention, no man writes what is more worthy of being read, or what 

 is acceptable to a larger class of readers. The peculiar quality of his powerful essays is the 

 practical and useful conviction they produce of truths as obvious as they are important, but 

 which are strangely neglected by the majority of mankind. We do not ojten meet with a book 

 which we can more strongly recommend.'''' — Inquirer.
