BY T. HAYNES BAYLY..
In Two Volumes.
"No one can forget the charm of Mr. Bayly's exquisite ballads: simple,
natural, they came to the general heart, because they expressed the general
feeling. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin;' and that one.
touch was the secret of his popularity. This charm pervades the present
work. The story of Kate Leslie' is told with the most touching pathos, and
her character sustained in all its womanly beauty to the last. Mr. Bayly
has succeeded in throwing a charming familiarity around his locale. We
become quite acquainted with the parsonage, its green lawn, and little
fountain. There are, we must especially mention, some exquisite snatches
of song in the course of the book."-Literary Gazette.
UNCLE
HORA CE.
By the Authoress of "SKETCHES OF IRISH CHARACTER,"
"THE BUCCANEER," &c.
In Two Volumes.
"Mrs. Hall's new and delightful novel, bearing the title of 'Uncle Ho-
race,' more than sustains the high reputation of its popular writer. Its
bachelor hero, 'Uncle Horace,' is a capital and original sketch-more truly
and emphatically English than any character of the kind we are acquainted
with. This delightful work deserves to attain a popularity not surpassed by
that of any female writer of the day."-Globe.
BY T. HAYNES BAYLY.
In One Volume.
"David Dumps is a light farce: Liston might have acted the hero; and
the story of 'My Friend Bob' is most amusing."-Literary Gazette.
THE
FELLOW
COMMONER;
OR, REMARKABLE ESCAPES OF A PREDESTINATED ROGUE.
In Two Volumes.
"We allude especially to the Robinson Crusoe-like portion, which is elo-
quently narrated, and will make an indelible impression on the memory."-
Metropolitan.
"Two very agreeable volumes."-Naval Magazine.
"There is a strong interest attached to the 'Predestinated Rogue,' from
first to last. Many parts abound in humour."-Metropolitan.
"The work displays considerable ability."-Atlas.

THE
BIVOUAC.
By the Author of "STORIES OF WATERLOO."
A NOVEL.
By the Author of "HAJJI BABA," "ZOHRAB," &c.
In Two Volumes.
"Among the recent publications in the department of fiction, none has
afforded us such unmingled gratification as a novel by Mr. Morier, the
Oriental traveller and novelist, entitled 'Abel Allnut.' Instead of a lively
picture of eastern manners, such as we would naturally expect from the
author of Hajji Baba,' this is one of the most lovely delineations of English
manners in rural life, that has appeared since the Vicar of Wakefield." By
the way, it is more like the exquisite story of Goldsmith than any thing
else: and after having been deluged with all manner of monstrosities, from
the intense, the fashionable, and the sentimental school of novelists, it is
really refreshing to take up a novel written upon the present model. The
moral effect of the story is excellent."-National Gazette.
LADY CHARLOTTE BURY.
MEMOIRS OF A PEERESS;
BY LADY CHARLOTTE BURY.
In Two Volumes.
"This is an extraordinary book, which does great credit to the authoress.
The writer introduces us, in the course of her interesting volumes, to the
private lives of Fox, Burke, Sheridan, Grey, the Prince of Wales, and all
the illustrious characters of that memorable era."-Dispatch.
"A work of great talent, in which historical recollections and sketches of
illustrious personages are blended with a story of the deepest interest."-
Ed. Evening Courant.
FIELDING;
OR, SOCIETY.
By the Author of " TREMAINE," and "DE VERE."
In Three Volumes, 12mo.
"Mr. Ward has produced an extraordinary work; Fielding is not a novel,
and certainly cannot be termed a romance; it is a recolement of the practical
philosophy of a cosmopolite. The experience of an observation hunter-an
analysis of human nature, by a strong-minded man, detailed with much con-
versational spirit and logical effect. There are two divisions in the work,
but Mr. Ward has not employed the agency of a pilot to connect his illus-
trations of society and life; or the developement of his category of super-
natural influences. Fielding will be more generally perused than either of
Mr. Ward's former productions. The Christian moralist and philosopher
will find matter equally valuable-and the attention of the general reader
will be attracted by the variety and spice of the anecdotal illustrations,
which were not suffered to enlighten the didactics of Tremaine or De
Vere."-Burton's Gentleman's Magazine.
"Mr. Ward's reputation is high as a didactic novelist. He is at the head
of a class in which he has few imitators, and into which none can enter
but men of consummate ability and wide reaching experience. His novels
are not so much. pictures of society, as practical expositions of human
character."
"In Fielding we have a perfect picture of a profound thinker. The pro-
gress and history of his mind is a fine conception admirably executed."—
La Belle Assemble.
"A most delightful work, abounding, like Tremaine, in beautiful descrip-
tions, and like De Vere, in strong and lively pictures of human character,
in the different varieties of life."-Messenger.
"It deserves a wide circulation."-Athenæum.
"This book will be read a second, nay, a third time, with increased
pleasure."-Dublin Evening Packet.
LADY MORGAN'S NEW WORK.
WOMAN AND HER MASTER.
BY LADY MORGAN.
THE DIVORCE D.
BY THE LADY CHARLOTTE BURY.
Authoress of "FLIRTATION," &c.
In Two Volumes, 12mo.
"This new novel is one of the most effective of Lady Bury's productions.
The story is powerfully and admirably told, and it seems to us that not only
is it founded on facts, but that the characters are chiefly drawn from the
life."-John Bull.
GENTLEMAN JACK.
A NOVEL,
By the Author of "WILL WATCH."
In Two Volumes.
"The sea novel of Gentleman Jack contains scenes not surpassed in in-
terest by Peter Simple."-Liverpool Mail.
"All you who delight it a cruise, now is your chance, embark in the stout
bark commanded by Gentleman Jack, and enjoy your trip. Here you may
in imagination join the cutting out and storming parties along shore; the
dangers of the tempest at sea, the boardings and battles of Britannia's bul-
warks, take an impartial glance at the mutiny at Spithead, and have a
touch of the Buccaneering practices of the privateers in the South Seas;
you may partake in the privations of a French prison with our hero, and the
hairbreadth chances of an escape therefrom, and all without quitting your
comfortable fireside."-Caledonian Mercury.

PAUL DE KOCK.
ANDREW THE SAVOYARD.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH OF
PAUL DE
KOCK.
The following is extracted from a very able article which appeared in the
Foreign Quarterly Review:
"The name of Paul de Kock is probably known to few of our readers, and
yet he is a highly popular author, within two days' journey of our capital.
During a year or two past, he has been the prolific parent of almost innu-
merable volumes, which have received a warm reception from his country-
men, and are every day being multiplied in new editions. It is worth while
to inquire, what is this which pleases our neighbours so much? We wish
we could communicate to our readers a tithe of the amusement that inquiry
has afforded us. Where Peregrine Pickle is a welcome guest, the society of
Paul de Kock will be enjoyed. Humour is not the only characteristic of our
author; he has another virtue, the truth of his pictures of life and society-
the absolute nature of his pieces of conversation and character."
PAUL
DE
"The work now before us is one of those pleasing and instructive tales for
which that highly gifted author is so celebrated, and fully maintains his
already high reputation. We think it a valuable work to put into the hands
of children, and not less worthy the attention of young men; it is well cal-
culated to instruct and amuse; and to all our young friends we recommend
a perusal of the Good Fellow."-Baltimore Gazette.
PRETENSIO N.
A NOVEL.
BY MISS STICKNEY.
Two Volumes, 12mo., with a beautiful plate.
"This is one of those enchanting tales of modern life, which, like Crabbe's
Poems, and Hogarth's Pictures, delight by their reality and minuteness of
effect."-Burton's Gentleman's Magazine.
"It certainly has 'Pretension' to rank among the interesting and instruc-
tive literature of the day."-U. S. Gazette.
"The characters are nobly drawn, and the whole story is of that absorbing
nature which enchains the attention of the reader, as he finishes each
page."-Ladies' Companion.
