PETER SIMPLE.
MIDSHIPMAN EASY.

Price 1s. 6d. each,

KING'S OWN.

RATTLIN THE REEFER (Edited). "Marryat's works abound in humour-real, unaffected, buoyant, overflowing humour. Many bits of his writings strongly remind us of Dickens. He is an incorrigible joker, and frequently relates such strange anecdotes and adventures, that the gloomiest hypochondriac could not read them without involuntarily indulging in the unwonted luxury of a hearty cachinnation."-Dublin University Magazine.

W. HARRISON AINSWORTH'S WORKS. Price One Shilling each,

THE MISER'S DAUGHTER.
WINDSOR CASTLE.

SAINT JAMES'S.
JAMES II. (Edited by.)

"Now that a cheap Edition of Mr. Ainsworth's Novels is published, we doubt not but that thousands will now possess what thousands have before been only able to admire."

"Cooper constructs enthralling stories, which hold us in breathless suspense, and make our brows alternately pallid with awe and terror, or flushed with powerful emotion: when once taken up, they are so fascinating, that we must perforce read on from beginning to end, panting to arrive at the thrilling dénouement."-Dublin University Magazine.

THE MARCHIONESS OF BRINVILLIERS; the Poisoner of the 17th Century. "Albert Smith's name, as the author of any work, is quite sufficient to prove that it is an interesting one, and one that can be read with pleasure by every one."

THE ROVING ENGLISHMAN'S WORKS.

Price One Shilling,

THE ROVING ENGLISHMAN; or,
Sketches on the Continent.

Price Two Shillings, boards, TURKEY, by the Roving Englishman; Being Sketches from Life.

"Who is unfamiliar with those brilliant sketches of naval, particularly the pictures of Turkish, life and manners, from the pen of the Roving Englishman,' and who does not hail their collection into a companionable size volume with

delight?"

RAILWAY AND HOME READING.

CHARLES LEVER'S ARTHUR O'LEARY.
Price Two Shillings, boards,
ARTHUR O'LEARY'S ADVENTURES.

"We would rather be the author of Charles O'Malley,' and 'Harry Lorrequer,' than hundreds of 'Pickwick Papers,' and 'Nicholas Nickleby.s'"-Standard.

BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL ESSAYS; reprinted from the genuine American Edition, with all the Notes, &c.

"Prescott's works, in point of style, rank with the ablest English historians, and paragraphs may be found in which the grace and elegance of Addison are combined with Robertson's cadence and Gibbon's brilliancy."-Athenæum.

"Mrs. Crowe has a clearness and plain force of style, and a power in giving reality to a scene, by accumulating a number of minute details, that reminds us forcibly of Defoe."-Aberdeen Banner.

"Mrs. Gore is one of the most popular writers of the day; her works are all pictures of existing life and manners."

"Miss M'Intosh's style reminds the reader forcibly of Miss Edgeworth and Mrs. Opie; all her books inculcate high moral principles, and exalt what is honourable in purpose and deep in affection.

"Unless another master-hand like Carleton's should appear, it is to his pages, and his alone, that future generations must look for the truest and fullest picture of the Irish peasantry, who will ere long have passed away from the troubled land and the records of history."-Edinburgh Review.
