AT ONE THIRD TO ONE EIGHTH OF THE LONDON PRICES.

THE VAMPIRE, 12mo. 3fr.-This most terrific and inte-
resting tale was given out as Lord Byron's.
LIFE OF THE RIGHT HON. LORD BYRON, by J. W.
Lake, 32mo, 3fr.

CONVERSATIONS OF LORD BYRON; detailing the occurrences of his private life; his opinions on society, and literary men; being the substance of a journal kept during a residence with his lordship at Pisa, in the years 1821 and 1822. By Thomas Medwin, Esq. 2 vols, 12mo., 10fr. This edition is more complete than the London one.

"This work possesses great sources of attraction; it is discursive, full of anecdote and criticism, and teems with all the great names of the age; it is at once interesting and amusing; every body will read it. Mr Medwin has collected these Conversations with industry, and reported them with fidelity."-(New Monthly Magazine.) GREECE; being a series of letters and other documents on the Greek Revolution; written during a visit to that country, by the Hon. Col. L. Stanhope, and containing some most curious details relative to Lord Byron, 2 vols. 12mo. 12fr.-Illustrated by a fac simile of Lord Byron's hand writing.

"This is a very interesting work; and the best report on the state of affairs in Greece which has ever appeared."(Times.)

"This is a publication of sterling value. Its contents are documents and materials towards a very important part of a very important history; and its interest is not of a mere ephemeral description."-(Monthly Magazine.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF LORD BYRON, including his letters to his mother, written from Portugal, Spain, Greece, and other parts of the Mediterranean. Published from the originals, by R. C. Dallas, Esq. 3 vols. 12mo. 16 fr.

(For this work an injunction was granted by the Lord Chancellor, and it can never be published in England.)

"We are indebted to the French Press for this interesting publication, which our boasted liberties did not suf fice to procure us. These letters are graceful, elegant, and eminently remarkable for their ease and simplicity. Lord Byron's Correspondence is in reality such as very few persons could produce, and possesses a high place in our estimation."-(New Monthly Magazine.)

A NARRATIVE OF LORD BYRON'S LAST JOURNEY TO GREECE, from the Journal of Count Peter Gamba, who attended his Lordship on that expedition, 12mo. 6fr. "This narrative is perhaps the most important of all that Lord Byron's death has brought forward to establish his place in the rolls of Fame."-(Blackwood.) LAST DAYS OF LORD BYRON, with his Lordship's opinions on the state of Greece, by Major Parry; and the Reminiscences of Lord Byron, contained in letters addressed to the Hon. Col. Stanhope. 12mo. 6fr.

"The interest which every circumstance connected with the history of Lord Byron naturally excites, has produced this volume. The events which it relates are remarkable for the peculiar views it takes of the character of Lord Byron and the persons by whom he was surrounded. Upon the state of the Greeks the book affords some curious information."-(New Monthly Magazine.) IMPARTIAL PORTRAIT OF LORD BYRON, as a Poet and a man, compared with all the evidences and writings regarding him. By Sir E. Brydges, Bart. 12mo. 3fr.

The scorching beams of Lord Byron's sun have sunk beneath the horizon, but the milder reflexion from them still irradiates the sky. I have accompanied his progress from its first dawning ray, when scarcely noticed by others, to his premature exit; and now, with a still growing enthusiasm, I continue to throw fresh flowers on his tomb. "-Preface.

NARRATIVE OF LORD BYRON'S VOYAGE TO CORSICA AND SARDINIA, from minutes by the passengers, and extracts from the Journal of his Lordship's Yacht the Mazeppa, kept by Capt. Benson, R. N. 3fr.

This splendid edition comprises the whole of Mr. Moore's Poetical Works. It is unnecessary to point out the advantages of possessing these celebrated works in their present elegant and portable form, and at so moderate a price. The Melodies, Canzonets, &c., about 300 in number, have never been printed in England but with the music, which alone amounts to fifteen times the price of this entire edition; it will be found, in arrangement and execution, one of the most perfect that has ever appeared, and is uniform with Messrs. Galignani's edition of the Works of Lord Byron, complete in I vol. -The same,7 vols. 32mo. vellum paper, price only 25fr.

This Diamond Edition, from its convenient size, is admirably suited for a lady's library For the pocket. COMPLETE WORKS OF THOMAS MRE, 10 thick vols. 12mo. vellum paper, ONLY 6fr.: with a Portrait and Sketch of his Life: containing Lalla Rookh; Loves of the Angels; Memoirs of Captain Rock; The Epicurean; Rhymes on the Road; Odes and Epistles; Two-penny Post Bag: Tom Crib's Memorial to Congress; Corruption and Intolerance; The Sceptic; Irish, Sacred, and National Melodies; Letter to the Catholics; M. P., or the

Blue Stocking; Fudge Family: Odes of Anacreon; Little's Poems, and upwards of 300 Canzonets, Songs, &c., &c. -Another edition, on common paper 7 vols. 12mo. 28fr. Persons having the 1st Edition of Moore's Works, may purchase an additional volume to complete their set, THE EPICUREAN, a tale, by T. Moore, 12mo., 6 fr.

"Our sense of the beauties of this Tale may be appreciated by the acknowledgment that for insight into human nature, for poetical thought, for grace, refinement, intellect, pathos, and sublimity, we prize the Epicurean even above any other of the author's works. Indeed, although written in prose, this is a masterly poem, and will for ever rank as one of the most exquisite productions in English Literature."(Literary Gazette.)

LIFE OF THE RIGHT HON. R. B. SHERIDAN, by Thomas Moore, 2 vols. 12mo. 20fr.

"What a galaxy of beauty is here! These admirable memoirs abound in the very finest specimens of the ornate style-it cannot fail to improve those ambitious of fine writing."--(London Magazine.)

This is as magnificent a piece of Biography as we have in our language; it has added another to the bril lant laurels already won by the Author."-(Monthly Rev.) "Mr Moore has in this Work fully maintained his claim to the intellectual superiority of which he had before given many proofs, added to which, it is a production abounding in the several characteristics of interest, spirit, and fearless integrity. The powers by which the extraordinary man who is the subject of the Memoirs arrived at celebrity, and the unfortunate habits through which fame was all that he achieved, are depicted with a master-hand-his triumphs às a dramatist, and his glorious eloquence, are portrayed with a power which could only proceed from a kindred spirit."-(Lit. Gazette.) MEMOIRS OF CAPTAIN ROCK, the celebrated Irish Chieftain, with some account of his ancestors, written by himself (Thomas Moore), 12mo. 6fr.

"This is a complete History of Ireland, and ought to be the manual of every one wishing for information on that country; it is full of instruction and amusementan entertaining and melancholy volume, which Englishmen ought to be ashamed, and Irishmen afraid, to read." (London Magazine.)

LOVES OF THE ANGELS, by Th. Moore. 12mo, 4fr. -The same, Svo. beautifully printed. 7fr.

RHYMES ON THE ROAD, AND FABLES FOR THE HOLY ALLIANCE, by Thomas Moore, 12mo. 4fr. THE IRISH MELODIES, SACRED MELODIES, NATIONAL AIRS, Canzonets, Songs, and Ballads, by Thomas Moore, 1 thick vol. 12mo. 8fr.

"Moore is one of the few writers who will survive the age in which he so deservedly flourishes. He will live in his Irish melodies.-They will go down to posterity with the music,-both will last as long as Ireland, or as music and poetry."-(Lord Byron.)

LITTLE'S POEMS, AND ODES OF ANACREON, by Thomas Moore, 12mo, 8fr.

LALLA ROOKH, by Thomas Moore, 32mo. 5fr.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S PROSE WORKS, complete IN SIX VOLS. 8vo. (heretofore published in 78 vols.) beautifully printed, with portrait, 150fr.

-The same on vellum paper, 210fr.

-The same on vellum paper, royal 8vo. proof Portrait on India paper, 300fr.

From the legibility and boldness of the type, it is almost incredible that so many volumes could have been compressed into so small a compass, rendering it available to the economist as well as to the traveller. This edition, from its moderate price, beauty, and correctness, leaves nothing to desire, and for execution challenges a comparison with the finest specimens of typography, and justly ranks with Messrs. Galignani's editions of the Complete Works of Lord Byron and the Poetical Works Complete of Thomas Moore, each in 1 vol. 8vo.

LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, Emperor of the French, with a view of the French Revolution, by Sir Walter Scott, and two portraits of Napoleon, one as First Consul, the other as Emperor, with a fac-simile of his signature as each; in 9 vols. 12mo. Price buly 50fr. about one-third of the London price.

"Our task of selection is only difficult from the rich superabundance of materials which present themselves nearly at every page with an almost bewildering profusion. Passages of high descriptive power and burning eloquence are scattered throughout the work with a prodigality which genius alone can supply. We may safely aver that volumes more pregnant with interest never issued from the press." (Literary Gazette.)

"This work is worthy of the name of its illustrious author, and a chef d'oeuvre with relation to those eminent and general characteristics essentially required by good taste and good sense.-His portraits are full of inspiration, and stand out on the canvas with boldness and vivacity, and the description of all great events is fine and picturesque. Sir Walter Scott has undoubtedly drawn his documents from their sources." (New Month. Magaz.) THE SAME in One Volume 8vo.-Only, 25fr. SIR WALTER SCOTT'S POETICAL WORKS, including all his minor pieces, with a life and portrait of the author, printed in a bold, clear, and legible type, complete in ONE VOL. octavo, uniform with the edit. of Byron and Moore, price only 20fr.

LADY MORGAN.

THE O'BRIENS AND THE O'FLAHERTYS, a national tale, by Lady Morgan, 4 vols. 12mo. 18fr.

Lady Morgan has on this occasion excelled herself, and has furnished the admirers of historical romance with a high and extraordinary treat. (Literary Chron.) "Just risen from the perusal of her charming volumes, and still under the wand of the enchantress, our praise may perhaps be conceived too excessive to be judicious; but the work is so immeasurably superior to any thing that Lady Morgan has yet done, that we cannot bring ourselves to retract it, nor can we help saying that there are sketches in it which Scott himself might acknowledge." (London Weekly Review).

ITALY, by Lady Morgan, 3 vols. 12mo. price only 25fr., a FOURTH of the price of the London edition.

"Lady Morgan's fearless and excellent work upon Italy." (Lord Byron.)

"Lady Morgan has given us more information on the actual state of Society in Italy, than can be found in any of the numerous publications which have made their appearance since the peace."-(New Monthly Magazine.)

This work may be consulted for its facts by the historian, the traveller, and the topographer."-(Mont. Mag.) LETTER TO THE REVIEWERS OF ITALY," by Lady Morgan, including an answer to a Pamphlet entitled "Observations upon the calumnies and misrepresentations in Lady Morgan's Italy." 12mo. Ifr. 50c, LIFE OF SALVATOR ROSA, by Lady Morgan, 2 vols. 12mo. 10fr.

"Lady Morgan has surprised us by the Life and Times of Salvator Rosa. Wecould not have given her credit for the talents shown in this first essay in Historical composition, not only for the depth of her reflexions, but for the extent of her taste and judgment, connected with Italian Literature and Art."-(Monthly Review.) "Lady Morgan has produced two of the most amusing volumes we have met with, even in this biographical age."-(Edinburgh Magazine.)

ABSENTEEISM, by Lady Morgan, 12mo. 4fr. 50c.

WASHINGTON IRVING. WASHINGTON IRVING'S WORKS, 14 vols. 12mo. elegantly printed on fine paper, with a Portrait, 70fr. HISTORY OF THE LIFE AND VOYAGES OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, by Washington Irving. 4 thick vols. 12mo. 24fr. with maps.

"This work gives Mr. Irving prodigious increase of fame: the novelty of fact exhibited commands wonder, only to be explained by the circumstances which have given the author access to the archives of the Spanish government, as well as many private libraries, hitherto a fountain shut up and a book sealed;' by which he

has been enabled to weave into this work many curious facts, previously unknown, concerning Columbus.-The chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the liberal and truly philosophical cast of thought and sentiment, are what no one need be surprised with who has read his previous writings, but this performance is a more elaborate one, and of higher pretensions; and with unmingid pleasure do we contemplate the fruit of his long and arduous labours."-(Literary Gazette),

"It has very entertaining notices of events, opinions, and persons, illustrative of the great subject of the work." (London Magazine).

"This spirited and interesting work, in which every thing is as judiciously reasoned as it is beautifully and forcibly expressed, is much more grave in its character and laborious in its execution than any of his preceding ones."-(New Monthly Magazine.)

NEW YORK, by the same, 2 vols. 12mo. 8fr
TALES OF A TRAVELLER, by the same, 2 volumes
12mo. 10fr.

It seems probable to us that Mr. Irving might prove no contemptible rival to Goldsmith, whose turn of mind he very much inherits, and of whose style he particularly reminds us. Like him, too, Mr. Irving possesses the art of setting ludicrous perplexities in the most irresistible point of view, and, we think, equals him in the variety of his humour."-(Quarterly Review.) GOLDSMITH'S MISCELLANEOUS WORKS, edited by Washington Irving, Esq. 4 vols. 8vo. 28fr.; on vellum paper, 40fr.; and on large vellum paper, 72fr. with fine poriraits of Goldsmith and Irving.

HAZLITT.

TABLE TALK, or Original Essays, by William Hazlitt, 2 vols. 12mo. 9fr.

"This work contains some of the most valuable of those treasures which its Author has produced from his vast stores of feeling. We are acquainted with no other living writer who can depict the intricacies of human character with so firm and masterly a hand who can detect with so fine an intuition the essences of opinion and prejudice-or follow with so unerring a skill the subtle windings of the deepest affections."-(New Monthly Magazine.) SPIRIT OF THE AGE, or Contemporary Portraits, by William Hazlitt. 2 vols. 12mo. 9fr.

"We have here another Work from the acute, brilliant, spirit-stirring, and entertaining pen of the Author of Table Talk. Those who desire to gain an available notion of the intellectual characters of Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott, Mr. Coleridge Mr. Southey. Mr. Wordsworth, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Crabbe, Jeremy Bentham, Mr. God win, Mr. Irving, Horne Tooke, Mr. Canning. Sir J. Mackintosh, Mr. Malthus, Mr. Gifford, Mr. Jeffrey, Mr. Brougham, Sir F.

"This curious publication, we particularly recommend to notice."-(Literary Gazette.)

A HISTORY OF ENGLAND from the First Invasion of the Romans, by John Lingard, D. D. 10 vols. 8vo. 75fr. Six volumes more of this valuable work are shortly expected to complete the History to the Reign of George IV.

freedom and fancy, his diction has the ornament of Gibbon without his affectation or obscurity, and to the merits of diligence and critical research, Hume must yield the palm to Dr. Lingard. He possesses the rare merit of having collected his materials from original historians and records; his narrative has a freshness of character, a stamp of originality not to be found in any other history of England."-(Edinburgh Review.) A HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, by A. F. Mignet, 12mo. 10fr.

"Mr. Mignet's History of the French Revolution is a chef-d'œuvre superior to everything that has appeared for the last fifty years."-(London Magazine.)

"No History of the French Revolution throws on the causes and result of that great event so much light as this; it leaves every other on the same subject far behind. Every thing in it bears the marks of a master mind. It is characterised by profound thought and clear illustration; and by impartiality and candour in a very singular degree."-Edinb. Theological Magazine.)

THE TOR HILL a Historical Novel, by the Author of "Brambletye House." 3 vols 12mo. 13fr.

"Mr. Horace Smith has entered upon his career with a bold spirit. We have no hesitation in saying that the Tor Hill takes a leading rank among the fictions of the day. The general strength of the narrative carries us agreeably along. The antiquarian displays are amusing and curious, and the historical characters are wrought with a truly graphic power. These volumes will be perused with an interest till recently unknown to the readers of romance."-(London Literary Gazette.)

"This novel is superior to Brambletye House' in the exhibition of higher beauties; both have felicitous traits of character, gleams of feeling and humour, and bril liancy of description."-(New Monthly Magazine.) BRAMBLETYE HOUSE, or Cavaliers and Roundheads, by the author of the Rejected Addresses, 3 vols. 12mo. 13fr. "This novel has spirit. graceful knowledge, and vivid conception, and well sustains the eminence to which it has been so justly raised."-(Monthly Review.)

"We would by no means rank the author of Brambletye House among imitators. He is rather to be regarded as a successful competitor of the mighty Champion of the North. He has shown wonderful versatility of talent, and the grave, the comic-the humble and the sublime-what excites pleasure, and what overwhelms with terror and awe, seem equally natural to him."-(Edinh. Magazine.). FORTY YEARS IN THE WORLD, or Sketches and Tales of a Soldier's Life. By the Author of Fifteen Years in India, &c., &c., 3 vols. 12mo. 15fr.

"The author has seen a good deal of the world, and has here given the result of his observations, written in a pleasing manner, with more sentiment than might have been expected from a man who has passed so much of his life amidst drums and thunder."-(New Monthly Mag.) HIGHWAYS AND BY WAYS, or Tales of the Roadside, picked up in the French Provinces, by a Walking Gentleman, containing Caribert the Bear Hunter, the Priest and the Garde du Corps, and the Vouée au blanc, 3 vols. 12mo. 13fr.

The style in which these Tales are written is light and elegant, and the descriptions are even poetical; they comprise much originality of conception."-(Monthly Mag:)

"We have been delighted by all the stories which this intellectual sportsman has contrived to pick up along the roads and in the villages of France."-(Monthly Review.)

"There is a great deal of vivacity and humour, as well as pathos, in these Stories."-(New Month. Mag.)

HUSBAND-HUNTING, or the Mother and Daughters, a tale of fashionable life, 3 vols. 12mo. 13fr.

"The characters profess to be grounded on life; the narrative is probably a work of fancy, and the whole is a performance of an attractive order."-(Lit. Gazette.) ADA REIS, a Tale, by Lady Caroline Lamb, 2 vols. 12mo. 8fr.

The Story is Asiatic, and coloured with the diablerie of an Arabian tale. The Author is acute, ingenious, imaginative, of quick and shrewd observation, with feelings as exalted as her fancy; her pages exhibit in curious and sometimes droll points of contrast a strange mixture of simplicity and shrewdness, of domesticity and dissipation, of wild ideality and satirical touches of real characters and passing follies."-(New Monthly Magazine.). THE ADVENTURES OF HAJJI BABA, of Ispahan, by M. Morier. 3 vols. 12mo. 12fr.

This is a succession of incidents, highly characteristic of the countries and people of the East, related with goodhumoured pleasantry, and so interesting, that the attention is well kept up throughout; the author has perfectly succeeded in presenting a just and lively picture of Persian character and manners."-(New Monthly Mag.) ON THE NOBILITY OF THE BRITISH GENTRY, compared with those of the Continent, for the use of Foreigners in Great Britain, and of Britons abroad; particularly of those who desire to be presented at Foreign Courts, to accept foreign military service, to be invested with foreign titles, to be admitted into foreign orders, to purchase foreign property, or to intermarry with foreigners. By Sir James Lawrence, 12mo, 2d edition. 4fr.

"Much is promised in the title-page, but it is meritoriously redeemed; in a small compass, a great portion of useful heraldic information is conveyed, and the main position asserted is established with considerable ingenuity and learning."-(Monthly Review.)

"Every person going abroad should read this bill of
fare of foreign Nobility."-(Gentleman's Magazine.)
