 Poland and Liberty. The Duchess and Sancho. 

 The Clean Face. Lady Jane Grey. In one 

 volume, 12mo. 



" Miss Leslie hits, skilfully and hard, the follies, foibles, and exception- 

 able manners of our meridian. She is perhaps too severe; she draws too 

 broadly, but she is always more or less entertaining, and conveys salutary 

 lessons even in her strongest caricatures. Her subjects, incidents, and per- 

 sons, are happily chosen for her purposes." — National Gazette.

 ceived impressions of the ample capiicities of Mrs. Hall

 Service Journal. 



" The work now before us belongs to the historical 

 school ; but it has that talent which bestows its own 

 attraction on whatever subject its peculiar taste may 

 select. We sincerely congratulate Mrs. Hall on the in- 

 terest and the talent displayed in the Buccaneer." — Lit. 

 Gazette.

 and expression." — JVetc York Mirror.

 on this or the other side of the Atlantic." — JVezc York 

 Courier and Inquirer.

 men, and scenery, so fresh and agreeable, that we can- 

 not help feeling that they are drawn from nature." 



IVAN VEJEEGHEN, or LIFE IN RUSSIA. 



By Thaddeus Bulgarin. 2 vols. 12mo. 



" This is a genuine Russian novel, and a tale, which, 

 with the interest of a fictitious story, presents many 

 details of a state of society of which nothing can be 

 learned from books of travels. It is in every respect 

 equal to Hope's Anastasius, and well deserves to equal 

 that renowned romance in popularity; it has all the 

 novelty and the ability." — Monthly Magazine.

 odore Hook, Author of Sayings and Do- 

 ings, &c. In 2 vols. 12mo. 



"We proceed to assure the reader, who has it before 

 him, that he will enjoy an intellectual treat of no mean 

 order. The principal feature of its excellence is an all- 

 engrossing interest, which interest is mainly attributa- 

 ble to the extreme vraisemblance of its incidents, and 

 the fidelity with which each character supports its 

 individuality. In it there is as much invention and 

 originality as we have ever met with in a modern 

 novel, be the author who he md.y.'"''— Metropolitan. 



ROSINE LAVAL. By Mr. Smith. An 

 American Novel. In 1 volume, 12mo. 



" The perusal of a few pages of the work must imprers every reader 

 with the opinion that the writer is no ordinary person."— iVa<. Gazette. 



" His pages abound with passages of vigor and beauty, with much fund 

 for abstract thought ; and with groups of incidents which not only fix the 

 attention of the reader, but awake his admiration."— P/iiZ. Gazette. 



" It is one of the most pleasing, chaste, and spirited productions that we 

 have met with for a long time. We may claim it with pride as an Ameri- 

 can production."— BaZ<. Gazette. 



FRANKENSTEIN: or, THE MODERN 

 PROMETHEUS. By Mary W. Shelley, 

 Author of the Last Man, Perkin Warbeck, 

 &c. 2 vols. 



" Vigorous, terrible, and with its interest sustained 

 to the last, Frankenstein is certainly one of the most 

 original works that ever proceeded from a female pen." 

 — Literary Gazette. 



THE RECTORY OF VALEHEAD. By 

 the Rev. Robert Wilson Evans, M. A. 



" Universally and cordially do we recommend this 

 delightful volume. Impressed w^ith the genuine spirit 

 of Christianity ; a diary, as it were, of the feelings, 

 hopes, and sorrows of a family,— it comes home to all, 

 either in sympathy or example. It is a beautiful pic- 

 ture of a religious household, influencing to excellence 

 all within its sphere. We believe no person could read 

 this work, and not be the better for its pious and touch- 

 ing lessons." — Literary Gazette. 



" We fearlessly pronounce this delightful little volume 

 to be not only one of the most faultless, but every way 

 valuable works it has ever fallen to our lot to recom 

 mend to public iiemsaL"— Stamford Herald. 



PICTURES OF PRIVATE LIFE. . By Sa- 

 rah Stickney. In 1 neat 18mo. vol. 



" The publishers deserve the thanks of the lovers of 

 pure, chastened, and profitable fiction, for their reprint 

 of this charming little work. It cannot fail to become 

 as popular here as it already is in England. It is a col- 

 lection of tales and sketches, designed to impress upon 

 the mind useful lessons of piety, virtue and wisdom. 



" It is written in a style of unusual excellence — mas- 

 culine in its vigor, yet light and playful in its delicacy, 

 and embodies several scenes of pathos and feeling of 

 which Sterne or M'Kenzie might be proud. 



" To those whose taste has not been perverted by the 

 flashy wit and nauseous sentimentality of modern fic- 

 tion, we commend the immediate purchase of this de- 

 lightful little woik,'"— Daily Intelligencer.

" One of the first female novelists."— .Sir Walter Stott. 



" The most correct of female writers. Miss Austen."— 

 Miss Mitford, in Our Village. 



"Her fables appear to us, in their own way, nearly 

 faultless. * * * She conducts her conversations with a 

 regard to character hardly exceeded by Shakspeare him- 

 self. Like him, she shows as admirable a discrimination 

 in the character of fools, as of people of sense a merit 

 which is far from common. * * * Those who delight in 

 the study of human nature, may improve in the know- 

 ledge of it, and in the profitable application of that 

 knowledge, by the perusal of such fictions as those beforft 

 us." — Quarterly Review.
