In 2 vols. crown 8vo. price 188. boards, TWO HUNDRED and NINE DAYS on the CONTINENT. By THOMAS JEFFERSON HOGG, Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law.

“ Mr. Hogg has talents which would make a journey from London to York, or from Hyde Park Corner to Whitechapel, or from any place to any other where human beings could be seen in the intermediate space, new and amusing. Italy needed such a traveller."- London Magazine.

In 8vo. price 125. boards, the Second Edition of

A TOUR in JAMAICA. .“ A more amusing and a more instructive book has not lately been written about these most remarkable and interesting courtries.”London Magazine,

“A clever, amusing, and well-written book."--Edinburgh Observer,

The slave question excepted, we regard the volume as one of the best we have yet seen on the society, manners, customs, and scenery of the most important island of the West Indies." - London Weekly Review.

NOTES of a JOURNEY through FRANCE and ITALY.

“l' the world's volume

There's livers out of Britain."-Cymbeline,
HAMILTONIAN SYSTEM.

LATIN AND FRENCH. 1. The CATO MAJOR and LÆLIUS of CICERO; with a Double Translation for the use of Students on the Hamiltonian System. 8vo. 78. 6d.

2. The HISTORY of CHARLES XII. By VOLTAIRE. The first Three Books, with a Double Tjanslation, &c. 2 vols. 8vo. 158.

3. SEVEN BOOKS of the HISTORY of ROME. By EUTRO. PIUS. With a Double Translation, &c. The Text and the Translations repeated se parately, to furnish Exercises for Pupils. 8vo. 10s.

* We know of no books so well adapted for rapidly communicating a knowledge of the Latin language as these. The remarks which preface the double translation of Cicero's most beautiful work, really convey more information to the pupil than many

(Hunt and Clarke's Workscontinued.) whole grammars; and the translations themselves, both the free and the literal one, are executed with very great ability. Besides, the books sele:ted are extremely well chosen : nothing can surpass in beauty the mild, humane philosophy of the Lælius and Cato Major : the Life of Charles XII. has more interest thau a romance; and if Eutropius has neither the interest of the one, nor the beauty of the other, he makes up in some measure for his inferiority, by extraordinary perspicuity and simplicity of style."London Weekly Review.

The following will be published in the present month (Jan.) in 8vo.
A SELECTION from various ITALIAN AUTHORS, com-
mencing with the easier, and including the best examples of style. With a Double
Translation, for the use of Students on the Hamiltonian System.

In 8vo. on the same plan,

ENTERTAINING NOVELS. HAMEL, the OBEAH MAN. In 2 vols. post 8vo. price 16s. in boards.

“ This is an entertaining, we may say, instructive novel; the scene is new, and the manvers are new. We are glad that the author, who last year published an amusing Tour in Jamaica, has selected that island for his scene. He is a man of observation and talent, and has, moreover, a turn for humour."-Westminster Review.

“No writer has described so well as the author of Hamel, the manners and the climate of the country of the Antilles." - London Magazine.

“ This is a work of considerable power. The conceptions are vigorous; the incidents are striking; the manners new."-Scotsman.

TRUTH: a Novel. By the Author of Nothing. In 3 vols. royal 12mo. 24s. in boards.

“ The philosophical spirit with which this work is filled has been ever of the most essential service to religion, inasmuch as it has tended invariably to the destruction of superstition and fanaticism, and to the inculcation of tolerance and religious freedom. * * * * Those who wish to contemplate a glorious model of disinterested virtue, patient perseverance, and dignified forbearance, must seek them in these interesting volumes.”Literary Chronicle.

ELIZABETH EVANSHAW: the Sequel of “ Truth.” In 3 vols. royal 12mo. price 248. iu boards.

“ This is a work of great talent; and, coming from a shrewd and observant mind, has in a very high degree the quality of rousing and sharpening the intellect of its readers.”— Scotsman.

“This is as practically instructive and as rationally entertaining a work as its predecessor. The author is evidently a person of strong mind, singularly alive to the most correct views of utility, as well as to the secret workings of the human heart."— Newcastle Magazine.

IU-KIAO-LI; or, the TWO FAIR COUSINS. In 2 vols. 12mo. 14s. in boards.

“ Independently of being a curious specimen of Chinese novel-writing, this work bas more than ordinary intrinsic merit. It is a highly interesting story, well told; it is full of pure sentiment-of genuine, if not powerful passion—of amusing adventures-of lively, laughable, and varied dialogues." -London Weekly Review,

(Hunt and CLARKE's WorksContinued.) This is a psychological as well as a literary curiosity. The reflecting reader will bave reward enough in what he learns respecting the manners, literature, prejudices, and habits of thought, of a populous and remarkable nation."-Scotsman.

" It is with great pleasure that we see the literature of our country enriched by an English version of this novel. We do not know the class of English readers to whom so complete an acquaintance with Chinese manners, as is afforded in this work, will not be highly acceptable.”—Monthly Review.

PHILOSOPHICAL WORKS.

In 4 vols. small 8vo. price 32s. in boards. An HISTORICAL and CRITICAL DICTIONARY, selected and abridged from the great Work of BAYLE.

“ Four more instructive and amusing volumes have not come from the press for many years, than this Abridgment of Bayle. We recommend it to the library of every inquiring and thinking person who cannot obtain or cannot peruse the bulky folios of the original. In it he will have materials for thought, matter for argument, and wisdom for guidance, for years and years."- Allas.

“ The present abridgment has been executed with very great judgment and ability, and deserves to be universally read, since it contains the finest articles written by one of the most acute critics and profound thinkers of modern times." -London Weekly Re

viere.

Unisormly with the above, in 6 vols. small 8vo., price 50s. in boards, with a Portrait,

A PHILOSOPHICAL DICTIONARY. Translated from the French of Voltaire.

" It is remarkable, that the only Work of Voltaire which has not heretofore found an English Translator, is the Philosophical Dictionary. It seems superfluous to descant upon a book whose merits have been so long decided. There is probably no Work of equal size in any language which has been so frequently reprinted in so short a space of time. Its wit, its variety, the simplicity of its style, and its extensive and curious research, present a combination of attractions which cannot fail to procure a lasting popularity. I he translation is executed with accuracy and spirit.”-Westminster Review.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY; a Collection of the most instructive and amusing LIVES ever published, WRITTEN by the PARTIES THEMSELVES, With original Introductions and Sequels. Publishing in Weekly Parts, price 1s. each, and in Monthly Volumes, 3s. 6d. each, 18mo., with Portraits.

Both general and particular Title-pages are supplied, so that any Life may be obtained complete, separately; a Portrait of each Writer is given, whenever a sufficiently authentic likeness can be procured ; and each Part contains, on the average, three sheets of letter-press.

Besides other advantages, this series will include cheap editions of many scarce and curious works, whicle cannot at present be obtained without considerable trouble, even at high prices.

" It was a happy idea which led to the incorporation of all the most interesting Lives, by the subjects themselves, in one uniform series of volumes." Allas.

*The neatness of this collection-the well-written introductions and sequels (carrying each life down to the death of the author)-the spirited heads of the several autobiographers; and above all, the cheapness (a volume of 340 close-printed pages, for instance, for 3s. 6d.) are high recommendations.”—Tyne Mercury."
