MILITARY MEMOIRS OF THE DUKE 

 OF WELLINGTON. By Capt. Moyle 

 Sherer, Author of Recollections of the 

 Peninsula. L- 2 vols. 18rao. 



"The tone of feeling and reflection which per- 

 vades the work is in the characteristic mood of the 

 writer, considerate, ardent, and chivalrous ; his prin- 

 ciples, as might be expected, are sound and independ- 

 ent, and his language is frequently rich in those beau- 

 ties which distinguish his previous writings. To us 

 it appears a work which will not discredit its illustri- 

 ous subject." — United Service Journal. 



GLEANINGS in NATURAL HISTORY, 

 being a Companion to the Journal of a Nat- 

 uralist. 



" The Cabinet Library bids fair to be a series of great 

 value, and is recommended to public and private libraries, 

 to professional men, and miscellaneous readers generally! 

 It is beautifully printed, and furnished at a price whicli 

 will place it within the reach of all classes of society."— 

 American Traveller. 



" The series of instructive, and, in their original form, 

 expensive works, which these enterprising publishers are 

 now issuing under the title of the " Cabinet Library," 

 is a fountain of useful, and almost universal knowledge ; 

 the advantages of which, in forming the opinions, tastes' 

 and manners of that portion of society, to which this 

 varied information is yet new, cannot be too highly 

 estimated." — JVational Journal. 



" Messrs. Carey and Lea have commenced a series of 

 publications under the above title, which are to appear 

 monthly, and which seem likely, from the specimen before 

 us, to acquire a high degree of popularity, and to afford 

 a mass of various information and rich entertainment, 

 at once eminently useful and strongly attractive. The 

 mechanical execution is fine, the paper and typography 

 excellent." — JVashville Banner. 



MEMOIRS OF THE I^IFE OP SIR WAL- 

 TER RATjEGH, with some Accoiint of the 

 Period in wliich he lived. By MRS. A. T. 

 THOMSON. With a Portrait. 



"Such is the outline of a life, which, in Mrs. Thom- 

 son's hands, is a mine of interest ; from the first page to 

 the last the attention is roused and sustained, and while 

 we approve the manner, we still more applaud the spirit 

 in which it is executed." — Literary Gazette. 



JOURNAL OP A NATURALIST. With 

 Plates. 



-Plants, trees, and stones we note ; 



Birds, insects, beasts, and rural things. 



" We again most strongly recommend this little unpre- 

 tending volume to the attention of every lover of nature. 



LIBRARY. 



and more particularly of our country readers. It will 

 induce them, we are sure, to examine more closely than 

 they have been accustomed to do, into the objects of ani- 

 mated nature^ and such examination will prove one of 

 the most innocent, and the most satisfactory sources of 

 gratification and amusement. It is a book that ought 

 to find its way into every rural drawing-room in the 

 kingdom, and one that may safely be placed in every 

 lady's boudoir, be her rank and station in life what they 

 may. ' — Quarterly Review, No. LXXVIII. 



" We think that there are few readers who will not 

 be delighted (we are certain all will be instructed) by the 

 ' Journal of a Naturalist.' " — Monthly Review. 



" This is a most delightful book on the most delightful 

 of all studies. We are acquainted with no previous 

 work which bears any resemblance to this, except 

 ' White's History of Selborne,' the most fascinating piece 

 of rural writing and sound English philosophy that ever 

 issued from the press." — Atlienmim. 



"The author of the volume now before us, has pro- 

 duced one of the most charming volumes we remember 

 to have seen for a long lime."— JVew Monthly Magazine, 

 June, 1829. 



" A delightful volume— perhaps the most so— nor less 

 instructive and amusing— given to Natural History 

 since White's Selborne." — Blackwood's Magazine. 



" The Journal of a Naturalist, being the second num- 

 ber of Carey and Lea's beautiful edition of the Cabinet 

 Library, is the best treatise on subjects connected with 

 this train of thought, that we have for a long time pe 

 rused, and we are not at all surprised that it should have 

 received so high and flattering encomiums from the Eng- 

 lish press generally." — Boston Traveller. 



"Furnishing an interesting and familiar account of 

 the various objects of animated nature, but calculated 

 to afford both instruction and entertainment."— JVasA- 

 ville Banner. 



" One of the most agreeable works of its kind in the 

 language." — Courier de la Louisiane. 



"It abounds with numerous and curious facts, pleas- 

 ing illustrations of the secret operations and economy of 

 nature, and satisfactory displays of the power, wisdom 

 and goodness, of the great Creator."— PAi/a<i. Album. 



THE MARCtUESS OF LONDONDERRY'S 

 NARRATIVE OP THE LATE WAR IN 

 GERMANY AND PRANCE. With a Map. 



" No history of the events to which it relates can be 

 correct without reference to its statements." — Literary 

 Gazette. 



" The events detailed in this volume cannot fail to 

 excite an intense interest." — Dublin Literary Gazette. 



" The only connected and well authenticated account 

 we have of the spirit-stirring scenes which preceded the 

 fall of Napoleon. It introduces us into the cabinets and 

 presence of the allied monarchs. We observe the secret 

 policy of each individual : we see the course pursued by 

 the wily Bernadotte, the temporizing Metternich, and 

 the ambitious Alexander. The work deserves a place in 

 every historical library." — Globe. 



" We hail with pleasure the appearance of the first 

 volume of the Cabinet Library." " The author had sin- 

 gular facilities for obtaining the materials of his work, 

 and he has introduced us to the movements and measures 

 of cabinets which have hitherto been hidden from the 

 world." — American Traveller. 



" It may be regarded as the most authentic of all the 

 publications which profess to detail the events of the 

 important campaigns, terminating with that which se- 

 cured the capture of the French metropolis."— JVbit. Jour- 

 nal. 



" It is in fact the only authentic account of the memo- 

 rable events to which it refers.'"— Mishville Banner. 



" The work deserves a place in every library."— PAtVa- 

 delphia Album.
