COUNT ROBERT OF PARIS, a Tale of 

 the Lower Empire. By the Author of Wa- 

 verley. In 3 vols. 



"The reader will at once perceive that the subject, 

 the characters and the scenes of action, conld not have 

 been better selected for the display of the various and un- 

 equalled powers of the author. All that is glorious in arts 

 and splendid in arms— the glitter of armor, the pomp of 

 war, and the splendor of chivalry— the gorgeous scenery 

 of the Bosphorus— the ruins of Byzantium— the magnifi- 

 cence of the Grecian capital, and the richness and volup- 

 tuousness of the imperial court, will rise before the reader 

 in a succession of beautiful and dazzling images."— Cor«- 

 mercial Advertiser. 



AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SIR WALTER 

 SCOTT. With a Portrait.

 isfy every reader, and of which the contents ought to be 

 known to all those who would be deemed conversant with 

 the literature of our er^r—JsTational Gazette. 



HISTORY OF SCOTLAND. In 2 vols. 



" The History of Scotland, by Sir Walter Scott, we do 

 not hesitate to declare, will be, if possible, more exten- 

 sively read, than the most popular work of fiction, by the 

 same prolific author, and for this obvious reason : it com- 

 bines much of the brilliant colorir»,-of the Ivanhoe pic- 

 tures of by gone manners, and all the graceful facility of 

 style and picturesqueness of description of his other 

 charming romances, with a minute fidelity to the facts 

 of history, and a searching scrutiny into their authenti- 

 city and relative value, which might put to the blush 

 Mr. Hume and other professed historians. Such is the 

 magic charm of Sir Walter Scott's pen, it has only to 

 touch the simplest incident of every-day life, and it starts 

 up invested with all the interest of a scene of romance.; 

 and yet such is his fidelity to the text of nature, that the 

 knights, and serfs, and collared fools with whom his in- 

 ventive genius has peopled so many volumes, are regarded 

 by us as not mere creations of fancy, but as real flesh and 

 blood existences, with all the virtues, feelings and errors 

 of common-place humanity."— Lji. Gazette.

BY WASHINGTON IRVING. 



VOYAGES AND ADVENTURES of the 

 COMPANIONS OF COLUMBUS. By 

 Washington Irving, Author of the Life 

 of Columbus, &c. 1 vol. 8vo. | 

 "Of the main work we may repeat that it possesses | 

 the value of important history and the magnetism of ro- i 

 mantic adventure. It sustains in every respect the repu- 

 tation of Irving." " We may hope that the gifted author 

 will treat in like manner the enterprises and exploits of 

 Pizarro and Cortes ; and thus complete a series of elegant 

 recitals, which will contribute to the especial gratifica- 

 tion of Americans, and form an imperishable fund of 

 delightful instruction for all ages and countries." — JVat 

 Gazette. 



"As he leads us from one savage tribe to another, as 

 he paints successive scenes of heroism, perseverance and 

 self denial, as he wanders among the magnificent scenes 

 of nature, as he relates with scrupulous fidelity the 

 errors, and the crimes, even of those whose lives are for 

 the most part marked with traits to command admira- 

 tion, and perhaps esteem — everywhere we find him the 

 same undeviating, but beautiful moralist, gathering from 

 every incident some lesson to present in striking lan- 

 guage to the reason and the heart."— ./im. Quarterly Re- 

 view. 



" This is a delightful volume; for the preface truly says 

 that the e.xpeditions narrated and springing out of the 

 voyages of Columbus may be compared with attempts of 

 adventurous knights-errant to achieve the enterprise left 

 unfinished by some illustrious predecessors Washington 

 Irving's name is a pledge how well their stories will be 

 told : and we only regret that we must of necessity defer 

 our extracts for a week." — London Lit. Gazette. 



A CHRONICLE of the CONQUEST of 

 GRENADA. By Washington Irving, 

 Esq. In 2 vols. 



" On the whole, this work will sustain the high fame 

 of Washington Irving. It fills a blank in the historical 

 library which ought not to have remained so long a 

 blank. The language throughout is at once chaste and 

 animated ; and the narrative may be said, like Spenser's 

 Fairy Q-ueen, to present one long gallery of splendid pic- 

 tures." — Land. Lit. Gazette. 



THE ALHAMBRA; a series of Tales and 

 Sketches of the Moors and Spaniards. By 

 the iVuthor of the Sketch-Book, &c. 2 vols. 

 12mo. 



" Mr. Irving has fairly trusted himself ' to the golden 

 shores of old romance,' and yielded to all their influ- 

 ences. He has carried us into a world of marble foun- 

 tains, moonlight, arabesques, and perfume?. We do not 

 know whether reform and retrenchment haVe left any 

 imagination in the world, but this we know, that if 

 there be any fantasies yet slumbering deep within the 

 souls, the tales of the Alhambra must awaken them."—
