We look forward to the next portion of this work with very eager and impatient expectation."-British Critic.

V. NOTES on ITALY, during the years 1829-30.
PEALE. In 1 vol. 8vo.

"This artist will gratify all reasonable expectation; he is neither ostentatious, nor dogmatical, nor too minute; he is not a partisan nor a carper; he admires without servility, he criticises without malevolence; his frankness and good humour give an agreeable colour and effect to all his decisions, and the object of them; his book leaves a use ful general idea of the names, works, and deserts of the great masters; it is an instructive and entertaining index."—Nat. Gaz.

"We have made a copious extract in preceding columns from this interesting work of our countryman, Rembrandt Peale, recently published. It has received high commendation from respectable sources, which is justified by the portions we have seen extracted."-Commercial Advertiser.

VI. COUNT ROBERT of PARIS, a Romance of the Lower Empire. By the Author of WAVERLEY. In 2 vols. 12mo. Nearly ready.

VII. FRAGMENTS of VOYAGES and TRAVELS, including ANECDOTES of NAVAL LIFE; intended chiefly for the use of Young Persons. By BASIL HALL, Capt. R. N. In 2 vols. royal 18mo.

"His volumes consist of a melange of autobiography, naval anecdotes, and sketches of a somewhat discursive nature, which we have felt much pleasure in perusing."

"The title page to these volumes indicates their being chiefly intended for young persons, but we are much mistaken if the race of gray beards will be among the least numerous of the readers of midshipmen's pranks and the humours of the green room.' To us the following is irresistible."-Lit. Gaz.

MARRIAGE," and "The INHERITANCE." In 2 vols. 12mo.

There remains behind, not only a large harvest, but labourers capable of gathering it in. More than one writer has of late displayed talents of this description, and if the present author, himself a phantom, may be permitted to distinguish a brother, or perhaps a sister shadow, he would mention, in particular, the author of the very lively work entitled Marriage."-Conclusion of “ Tales of My Landlord.”

X. The PERSIAN ADVENTURER. By the Author of the KUZZILBASH In 2 vols. 12mo.

- Courier.

"It is full of glowing descriptions of Eastern life."
XI. VOYAGES and ADVENTURES of the COMPANIONS of COLUM-
BUS. BY WASHINGTON IRVING, Author of the Life of Columbus, &c. 1 vol. 8vo.
Of the main work we may repeat that it possesses the value of important history and

the magnetism of romantic adventure. It sustains in every respect the reputation of Irving." "We may hope that the gifted author will treat in like manner the enterprises and exploits of Pizarro and Cortes; and thus complete a series of elegant recitals, which will contribute to the especial gratification of Americans, and form an imperishable fund of delightful instruction for all ages and countries."-Nat. Gaz.

"As he leads us from one savage tribe to another, as he paints successive scenes of he roism, perseverance, and self-denial, as he wanders among the magnificent scenes of nature, as he relates with scrupulous fidelity the errors, and the crimes, even of those whose lives are for the most part marked with traits to command admiration, and perhaps esteem -every where we find him the same undeviating, but beautiful moralist, gathering from every incident some lesson to present in striking language to the reason and the heart.”— Am. Quarterly Review.

XII. A CHRONICLE of the CONQUEST of GRENADA. By WASHINGTON IRVING, Esq. In 2 vols.

"On the whole, this work will sustain the high fame of Washington Irving. It fills a blank in the historical library which ought not to have remained so long a blank. The language throughout is at once chaste and animated; and the narrative may be said, like Spenser's Fairy Queen, to present one long gallery of splendid pictures.”—Lond, Lit.

XVI. CABINET LIBRARY.

Vol. 1. The MARQUIS of LONDONDERRY'S NARRATIVE of the LATE WAR in GERMANY and FRANCE.

"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.

2. JOURNAL of a NATURALIST.

Plants, trees, and stones, we note;

Birds, insects, beasts, and rural things...

"We again most strongly recommend this little unpretending volume to the attention of every lover of nature, 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 animated 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 Rev. No. LXXVIII.

"We think 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
