OUR VILLAGE; Sketches of Rural Character and Scenery. By MARY RUSSEL
MITFORD, Author of "Julian," a Tragedy. Second Edition. Post 8vo.
7s. 6d. boards.
"This is an engaging volume, full of feeling, spirit, and vivacity; and
the descriptions of rural scenery and rural life are vivid and
glowing."--_New Monthly Mag._
"These 'Sketches,' we are of opinion, will, ere long, be extremely
popular; for they are highly-finished ones, and evince infinite taste,
judgment, and feeling. They are somewhat in the manner of _Geoffrey
Crayon_; but, to our liking, are far more interesting."--_Examiner._

BEAUTIES of the DULWICH PICTURE GALLEY. In 12mo. price 3s. boards.
"A very useful and interesting little work has just appeared, entitled,
'_Beauties of the Dulwich Picture Gallery_.' The object of the book is
to increase the pleasure of the visitor to Dulwich, by pointing out the
characteristic excellencies of most of the celebrated works of art which
adorn the Gallery. The work before us will be found a pleasant companion
to the Gallery, since it is so well calculated to shorten the road to
its beauties. The Author has selected a number of the principal
pictures, and has so classed them in his pages as to render his remarks,
which are very sensibly put, highly pleasing and instructive to the
general observer."--_Courier._
SCENES and THOUGHTS. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d. boards.
"The _Scenes_ in this volume are highly descriptive, and the _Thoughts_
are sensible and correct. The Author, throughout, displays a most
amiable feeling, and is an eloquent advocate in the cause of morality.
The articles are on well-selected subjects, and are altogether of a
domestic nature."--_Literary Chron._
HIGH-WAYS and BY-WAYS; or, Tales of the Road Side, picked up in the
French Provinces, by a WALKING GENTLEMAN. Fourth Edition. In 2
vols. post 8vo. price 14s. boards.
"There is a great deal of vivacity and humour, as well as pathos, in
these Stories; and they are told with a power of national
character-painting, that could have only resulted from long residence in
France, and from habits of social intimacy with the unsophisticated and
country-part of the French community, with whom the English traveller
seldom gives himself the trouble of getting acquainted."--_New Monthly
Mag._
The LUCUBRATIONS of HUMPHREY RAVELIN, Esq. late Major in the * * *
Regiment of Infantry. 2d Edition. Post 8vo. 8s. boards.
"The author's remarks exhibit the frankness, acuteness, ease, and
good-feeling, which we are proud to think, and pleased to say, so often
belong to the character of the experienced British officer; while they
are so well conveyed, and, in fact, with such particular correctness,
that not only few military men have the opportunity of forming and
maturing so good a style, but many of the practised writers must _fall
into the rear_ in competition with _Major Ravelin_, who must _stand
muster_ with Geoffry Crayon."--_Monthly Rev._
