NOTES OF A TRAVELLER, 



On the Social and Political State of France, Prussia, Switzerland, Italy, and other parts of 

 Europe, during the present century. By Samuel Laing, Esq. 2d Edit. 1 vol. 8vo. 16s. cloth. 



! " The quantity of matter contained in this single volume would outweigh a dozen or twenty common travel-books, and 

 i exceeds that of any single work which has for years emanated from the press. Nor is it wanting in literary excellence, 

 j The subjects are all important in themselves, and well presented with a view to attract the reader who would take the 

 i slightest interest in such kind of questions. Every thing is exhausted, according to Mr. Laing's mode of exhaustion, yet 

 nothing is overdone. His social and political investigations are interesting from their intrinsic importance, and attractive 

 i from their racy, vigorous mode of treatment : his political economy and his statistics have none of the dryness frequently 

 i attendant upon such subjects, for they are all well selected and applied : the reader sees the object they are advanced to 

 j prove, and is not wearied by details which convey no idea of a whole or a purpose. The composition throughout is clear, 

 vigorous, and full of life ; the style never stagnates ; and in some of the more general descriptions, it displays a rough 

 picture-like power, which presents by a few touches a general view of the country's physical aspect."— Spectator.

A Statistical Description of that Country— its Laws, Commerce, Resources, Public Institutions,

 Official Documents and Authentic Soui'ces. By Frederick Strong, Esq. Consul at Athens 

 for the Kingdoms of Bavaria and Hanover. 1 vol. 8vo 15s. cloth. 



_ " The statistics, both tabular and explanatory, are elaborate ; whether they relate to general questions^ — as the popula- 

 tion, the area of the country, the extent of cultivation, the nature of the soil and climate, and the leading particulars con- 

 nected with agriculture, manufactures, commerce, navigation, the arts ; or to matters more immediately connected with 

 the state— as the finances, the army, the navy, justice, religion, and public education ; whilst chapters devoted to government 

 and the court give a view of the royal household , and the different official personages, as well as of the state of affairs previous 

 to the arrival of the King, and an account of the constitution, such as it is. On all these points Mr. Strong's book may 

 be advantageously consulted, especially by persons who take a practical interest in Greece." — Spectatoe.
