TAL In one handsome volume, 7s. 6d. boards. ALES of FIELD and FLOOD, with SKETCHES of LIFE at HOME. By JOHN MALCOLM, Author of "Scenes of War," "Reminiscences of a Campaign in the Pyrenees and South of France," &c. The same gentleness of spirit that distinguishes Mr. Malcolm's poetry is remarkable in these prose sketches, which are for the most part conceived in a very poetical mood. The author is free from mannerism or affectation, and exhibits great natural powers in the simplest form imaginable.- -In some of his lighter fragments, Mr. Malcolm indicates a quiet, sly humour, that is capable of higher and more expanded purposes; witness his outline of Jack Flanagan's personal appearance."―Atlas, 24th May, 1829. “Mr. Malcolm is already well known to our readers,—well known in every sense of the word of his power as a writer we were perfectly aware; but there is a freshnessa delicacy and a quiet humour about these sketches that we hardly expected from the author of Memorials of the late War."-The Spirit and Manners of the Age, June, 1829. "Seriously, this is a book of tales and sketches which all the gentle and the good will peruse with delight.Our author has a great deal of quiet humour, and gives it out in the most effective of all ways, as if there was nothing humourous about it. The Orkney Wedding,' and The Borough,' in particular, contain many things equal to some of the happiest touches of Washington Irving. They are all full of tender and interesting reflections, calculated to soften and refine the heart," -Edinburgh Literary Journal, 16th May, 1829. "His former works are distinguished by fine original thoughts, beautiful comparisons, interesting allusions, striking analogies, deep pathos, and pensive tenderness. In his Tales of Field and Flood,' he has, along with all these attributes of good writing, made as acquainted with another characteristic of genius-that of humour with which we were not previously aware that he was so eminently endowed."-Edinburgh, Literary Gazette, 16th May, 1829. "It is characterized throughout by nice and delicate touches of humour, of pathos, and of bright and glowing description, in the most chaste and musical, and flowing language. To those gross feeders and literary gluttons, who are accustomed to devour volumes by the hour, and who seem, according to the modern taste, not to care so much about quality as quantity, the tales may appear too short, and not sufficiently intricate in plot, or diffuse in the development of character, and many of their beauties may be overlooked and unappreciated; yet the more refined and discriminating will, we are persuaded, see in the volume more of that delicate humour-fine touching off of character and wit, which is frequently developed in the turn of a short sentence-so characteristic of some of the finest of our English classical writers-than in any other work of imagination which has issued from the press for a long time."-Caledonian Mercury, 1st June, 1829. "It is impossible to read these tales and sketches without being struck with the affinity they bear to the sketches of Jeoffrey Crayon. We do not mean to say that Mr. Malcolm's work is a servile imitation of that popular production, or that it contains plagiarisms either of incident or sentiment; it is in the chastened spirit of romance, the gentle humour, and the pure feeling that pervades it, that we detect a similitude. In every page the poet lives and breathes, and many of the similes and expressions are turned with a felicity that none but one accustomed to think in poetry could have accomplished." -Edinburgh Observer, 2d June, 1829, " This is an elegant volume, and is the production of a refined and amiable mind. Indeed, we have found more of genuine feeling, poetic fervour, and delicate humour, than we are generally accustomed to meet with among the numerous similar publications of the day."-Edinburgh Weekly Journal, 3d June, 1829. Also, lately published, by the same Author, SCENES of WAR; and Other Poems. Foolscap 8vo, 78, boards. "Mr. Malcolm writes with great simplicity and feeling. He must have a quiet and gentle spirit by nature, or he could not philosophize with the genuine poetic tenderness which appears in the general tone of his pieces. Such a style can never be acquired by imitation."-Monthly Review. "It contains many sweet little poems, and some of a very superior order, that are distinguished by force, beauty, and originality."-London Weekly Review. Published by Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh; and Simpkin and Marshall, London. This day is published, in one thick volume, 8vo. 18s. bds. THE FRENCH LIBRARIAN, or LITERARY GUIDE. Pointing out the best Works of the Principal Writers of France, in every branch of Literature, with Personal Anecdotes and Biographical Notices, preceded by a sketch of the Progress of French Literature. By L. T. VENTOUILLAC. To make French Literature more generally known, to obtain for it a higher degree of estimation in England than it has hitherto enjoyed, by making both the extent and the value of its stores more familiar to the English public, is the object of the present work, the result of some year's research and application. The more fully to obtain this end, a list in each branch of literature is given of every work (within the author's knowledge) which may be considered deserving of attention. Where various editions of the work are known, the best is pointed out, and the merit of the work itself is established, not upon the author's own opinion, but upon that of the most eminent writers of France and of England; and that a still greater degree of confidence might be obtained for the critical dictum thus introduced to the English reader, although the French criticisms have been translated into English, a reference is always given to the volume and page of every work whence remarks have been taken, so that the reader may not only ascertain their correctness, but, where it may seem desirable to him, may, by turning to the original work, find a full critique on the work in question. In addition to these critical remarks, personal and literary anecdotes have been introduced, partly to do away with the appearance of a mere dry catalogue, and partly because these anecdotes, by making the character of the authors more fully known, tend to throw additional light on the nature and merit of their works. This book, it is hoped, will be found a full compendium of French Literature; and Indexes, on an enlarged and improved plan, will be added to give every possible facility for reference, and thus render the work more generally useful.
