"Full of wise saws and modern instances."

"These tales partake of the merits of the two former series, while they excel them in vivacity, truth, and copiousness of character. In the facility with which Mr. Hook sketches personal peculiarities, he is unrivalled; the readiness with which he falls into all the little niceties and familiarities which mark the tone of society, is equally striking. The little appearance of labour in his writings, the singular warmth and unstudied vigour of his sentences, complete the effect, and make his works the most lively, and at the same time the truest pictures of life we have yet met with."-Atlas.

36. THE HISTORY of GEORGE GODFREY. Written by Himself. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 28s. 6d.

"The pages of George Godfrey' remind us frequently of the author of Tom Jones.' The same minute acquaintance with a peculiar department of life, from which the great mass of mankind is, by various circumstances, entirely excluded, and we had almost said, the same graphic power in giving animation to scenes apparently indifferent in themselves, are, we think, visible in the two productions."-Monthly Review.
