GENERAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S ROMANCE.

In 1 vol. post 8vo, price 7s. 6d. cloth extra.

WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR; a Historical Romans

By General Sir CHARLES NAPIER; edited by his brother, S WILLIAM NAPIER.

"The real hero of the book is Harold, and the real moral of his fate is one illust tive of the consequences of leaving England comparatively defenceless, not bec she had not, when William landed at Pevensey, plenty of stout hearts to defend b but because those stout hearts were not incased in well-disciplined bodies. Had Charles Napier seriously entered the field of literature as a rival of our b novelists, he would have taken rank very near to Sir Walter Scott."-Globe.

"There is a fine manly spirit in Sir Charles Napier's romance, which raises above the level of ordinary fiction; it breathes of war and adventure; in a word: displays that genuine sympathy with action which is the true foundation of romane. and which certainly does not appear with any surpassing strength in the imagina literature of the day."-The Times.

"This is precisely the sort of romance we should have expected from a Napierfull of fierce contests and bold encounters, impetuous, graphic, and concise; ever page tells of a battle-field or feat of arms of high emprise, not unmingled as in deeds of ancient chivalry, with the softening influence of woman's love."-Eramier

Sir Guy d'Esterre,' by Miss Selina Bunbury. It's a tale of the time of Irish war and tumult, in the reign of Elizabeth; of the Ireland from which Spenser fled to die. The period is well chosen, and Miss Bunbury has quick fancy at command. Her romance will give pleasure to many readers."Examiner.
