"An elegant translation of an elegant German poem."-Athenæum.

"In conclusion we would strongly recommend Griselda' to our readers; assuring them that, in our opinion, they will not easily meet with anything so deserving of popularity, either from the purity of the style, the interest of the story, the fidelity of the translation, the easy flow of the rhyme, or the elegance of the language.”—Foreign and Colonial Quarterly Review.

The most

"Under this title the author has given a poetical narrative of his voyage in the Indian Ocean, somewhat in the manner of 'Falconer's Shipwreck.' remarkable passage is that where he announces a new attempt to explain the phenomena of Geology in connexion with the first chapter of Genesis. We would recommend the perusal of this poem, which contains some pretty passages both to interest and instruct the reader."-Edinburgh Weekly Journal.

"This is an interesting poem.

In so far as it is descriptive, it is a painting from Nature, and a narrative of real life. The author can say, 'All which I saw, and part of which I was.' If to landsmen the poem is interesting, it must be peculiarly so to those whose march is on the deep.' The author is evidently a person of right principles, of a kind and pious heart, and of a generous aud polished mind. He has a higher object than merely giving pleasure; he seeks to benefit his readers."

Hill, Lieutenant Bombay Engineers, Member of the Bombay Branch of
Royal Asiatic Society. In demy 8vo., price 6s. bound.

"The Stanzas of Mr. Burke bespeak at once high feeling, a vigorous cultivated intelligence, and a delicate poetic taste."-Morning Herald.

"The execution is even, finished, and good."-Weekly Chronicle.

The object of this undertaking is to supply what has long been felt to be a desideratum; namely, Graphic Illustrations of the Scenery, Antiquities, Architecture, Manners, Costumes, &c. of the East, which, as the theatre of so many brilliant military achievements, and such extensive commercial enterprise, is daily increasing in interest with the British public. The Drawings for the work are made by the first Artists in the Kingdom, from the Original Sketches taken on the spot.

A Series of thirty-six Historical Embellishments, illustrating the Poetical Works of LORD BYRON; beautifully engraved from Original Drawings and Paintings by Sir Thomas Lawrence, P.R.A., H.

"Adequately to describe the delicate beauty of these splendid plates does not appear to lie within the power of language. There is not an admirer of the works of the departed noble poet who can feel satisfied that he has a perfect edition of them, unless the Byron Gallery' be attached to it. There is no instance in which excellence in poetry and the arts are so admirably combined."-Imperial Magazine.
