 covery. Illustrated Jay Docii.in.en.ts froma 

 tlie Rolls, now first publisSied. 



Put forth in the most unpretending manner, and 

 without a name, this work is of paramount importance 

 to the subjects of which it treats." — Literary Oaiette. 

 " The author has corrected many grave errors, and in 

 general given us a clearer insight into transactions of 

 considerable national interest." — lb. " Will it not," says 

 the author, with just astonishment, " be deemed almost 

 incredible, that the very instrument in the Records of 

 England, which recites the Great Discovery, and plainly 

 contemplates a scheme of Colonization, should, up to 

 this moment, have been treated by her own writers as 

 that which tirst gave permission to go forth and explore ?" 

 — /&. " We must return to investigate several collateral 

 matters which we think deserving of more space than we 

 can this week bestow. Meanwhile we recommend the 

 work as one of great value and interest." — Ih. 



" The general reader, as well as the navigator and the 

 curious, wi!! derive pleasure and information from this 

 well- written production." — Courier. 



"A specimen of honest inquiry. It is quite frightful to 

 think of the number of the inaccuracies it exposes : we 

 shall cease to have confidence in books." " The investi- 

 gation of truth is not the fashion of these times. But 

 every sincere inquirer after historical accuracy ought to 

 purchase the book as a curiosity: more false assertions 

 and inaccurate statements were never exposed in the 

 same compass. It has given us a lesson we shall never 

 forget, and hope to profit by." — Spectator. 



HISTORY OF THE NORTHMEN, OR NOR- 

 MANS AND DANES ; from tlie earliest 

 times to the Conquest of England Iby 

 WiUiam of Normandy. By Henry Whiea- 

 ton, Member of tlie Scandinavian and 

 Icelandic Literary Societies of Copenlia- 

 gen. 



This work embraces the great leading features of Scan- 

 dinavian history, commencing with the heroic age, and 

 advancing from the earliest dawn of civilization to the 

 introduction of Christianity into the North — its long and 

 bloody strife with Paganism — the discovery and coloniza- 

 tion of Iceland, Greenland, and North America, by the 

 Norwegian navigators, before the time of Columbus — the 

 military and maritime expeditions of the Northmen — 

 their early intercourse of commerce and war with Con- 

 stantinople and the Eastern empire — the establishment 

 of a Norman state in France, under Rollo, and the sub- 

 jugation of England, first by the Danes, under Canute 

 the Great, and subsequently by the Normans, under 

 Duke William, the founder of the English monarchy. 

 It also contains an account of the mythology and litera- 

 ture of the ancient North— the Icelandic language pre- 

 vailing all over the Scandinavian countries until the 

 formation of the present living tongues of Sweden and 

 Denmark — an analysis of the Eddas, Sagas, and various 

 chronicles and songs relating to the Northern deities and 

 heroes, constituting the original materials from which 

 the work has been principally composed. It is intended 

 to illustrate the history of France and England during 

 the middle ages, and at the same time to serve as an 

 introduction to the modern historyof Denmark, Norway, 

 and Sweden. 



THE PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIAN PHILOSa 

 PHY. Containing the Doctrines, Duties, Admoni- 

 tions, and Consolations, of the Christian Religion. 

 By John Burns, M. D., F. R. S. From the 4th 

 London edition. In 1 vol. 12rao. 



" The author has unfolded the principles of Christianity with much candor 

 and correctness ; he has explained our personal and relative duties in a just 

 and philosophical manner ; and, by the ease and unafifected simplicity of his 

 style, has rendered his treatise pleasing as well as iustiuctive.— His remarks 

 OB brotherly love, in that part of his work embracing the relative duties, 

 possess much to interest."— v2 Traveller. 



" The book has a high reputation in Great Britain, and there is no being 

 capable of reflection, who has not need, and upon whom it is not incumbent, 

 to obtain light, and bestow concern on the topics which are here discussed. 



" Every page that directs the mind to what should be deemed the main in 

 terest of life, and causes operative thought in ulterior destinies, is of inesti- 

 mable vaJue." — Nat. Oazette. 



PRIVATE MEMOIRS of NAPOLEON BO- 

 NAPARTE, from the French of M. Fauve- 

 LET DE BouRRiEKNE, Private Secretary to 

 the Emperor. 



The peculiar advantages of position in regard to 

 his present subject, solely enjoyed by M. de Bourri- 

 enne, his literary accomplishments and moral quali- 

 fications, have already obtained for these memoirs the 

 first rank in contemporary and authentic history. In 

 France, where they had been for years expected with 

 anxiety, and where, sinfce the revolution, no work 

 connected with that period or its consequent events 

 has created so great a sensation, the volumes of Bour- 

 rienne have, from the first, been accepted as the only 

 trustworthy exhibition of the private life and political 

 principles of Napoleon. 



" We know from the best political authority now liv- 

 ing in England, that the writer's accounts are perfectly 

 corroborated by facts."— Gaz.

" The style of the stories is no less remarkable f6r its

 and its t^autiful and at times affecting simplicity. A 

 lady must have written it— for it is from the bosom of 

 woman alone, that such tenderness of feeling and such" 

 delicacy of sentiment — such sweet lessons of morality — 

 such deep and pure streams of virtue and piety, gush 

 forth to cleanse the juvenile mind from the grosser impu- 

 rities of our nature, and prepare the young for lives of
