PELHAM; or, THE ADVENTURES OF A GENTLEMAN. A Novel. In 2 vols. 12mo. [By the Author of 'The Disowned,'' Devereux,' 'Paul Clifford,' and 'Falkland.'] [Stereotyped.]

"If the most brilliant wit, a narrative whose interest never flags, and some pictures of the most riveting interest, can make a work popular, 'Pelham' will be as first rate in celebrity as it is in excellence. The scenes are laid in fashionable life."-Literary Gaz.

THE DISOWNED. A Novel. In 2 vols. 12mo. [By the Author of 'Pelham,' 'Devereux,' 'Paul Clifford,' and 'Falkland.'] [Stereotyped.]

"We have examined The Disowned,' and find it fully equal in plot, character, and description to Pelham; and vastly more philosophic and reflecting. It is by far the most in tellectual fiction that we have seen for a long time; and in it may be found some of the finest maxims, and from it may be drawn some of the best morals, for the guidance of the human heart."-Albion.

DEVEREUX. A Novel. In 2 vols. 12mo. [By the Author of 'Pelham,' 'The Disowned,' 'Paul Clifford,' and 'Falkland.'] [Stereotyped.]

"The author of 'Pelham,' 'The Disowned,' and 'Devereux' possesses the most brilliant qualifications of a successful novelist.-His conception of character is exquisite; his descriptive powers are unequalled; he has wit, pathos, energy, and discrimination in an eminent degree; and he is, moreover, a ripe scholar. In one particular he is not sur passed by any writer of the present or of any other day; we mean the faculty of imparting deep and uncontrollable interest to his stories."-N. Y. Mirror and Ladies' Lit. Gazette.

PAUL CLIFFORD. A Novel. In 2 vols. 12mo. [By the Author of 'Pelham,' 'The Disowned,' Devereux,' and 'Falkland.'] [Stereotyped.]

"Paul Clifford' is the most original of all Mr. Bulwer's works, and cannot fail to add largely to its writer's reputation. For the man of the world, it contains shrewdness and satire; for the moralist, matter of deep thought; and for the young, all the interest of narrative and all the poetry of feeling."-The Albion.

FALKLAND.

A Novel. [By the Author of 'Pelham,' 'The Disowned,' 'Devereux,' and 'Pau Clifford.'] [Stereotyped.]

WALTER COLYTON. A Tale. In 2 vols. 12mo. By the Author of "Brambletye House," "Zillah," &c. &c.

"The author has great power, very great power; and while reading him, we feel that we have a master to deal with ; and if he do not reach the grandeur to which the author of Waverley occasionally rises, his course is more regular, his vigour better sustained, and a more steady interest is kept up throughout.-Edinburgh Magazine.

THE NEW FOREST. A Novel. In 2 vols. 12mo. By the author of "Brambletye House,” “Zillah," &c. &c.

"To say that this novel is by the author of 'Brambletye House,' implies that it is lively, graphic, and forcible; and such must be the general impression of The New Forest."" -Court Journal.

THE COLLEGIANS. A Novel. In 2 vols. 12mo. "The stern imbecility of the heart-broken gentleman may be compared in effect and in touching beauty, to that most beautiful and impassioned scene in the Antiquary,' the Fisherman's lamentation over his son. Can praise go higher ?"-Spectator.

A

Novel.

THE RIVALS. "The Collegians," &c.

By the Author of In 2 volumes, 12mo.

"For touches of genuine pathos, simplicity, and most highly-wrought interest, we make question if any thing of the kind ever took precedency of the Stories of this writer; and their effect must be to raise their young author high in the rank of illustrious names, now securely established in the records of literature, and highest of all in the annals of precocious genius."-Examiner.

HUNGARIAN TALES. In 2 vols. 12mo. By the Author of "The Lettre de Cachet," and "Romances of Real Life."

"Written with great vigour and purity of style, highly interesting in the develope ment of the stories, and abounding with fine and graphic descriptions of character, as well as of external objects."-New-York Mirror.

ROMANCES OF REAL LIFE. In 2 vols. 12mo. By the Author of "Hungarian Tales."

"For a light, free, flowing, and truly feminine style, we know not where to look for Mrs. Charles Gore's equal among living female writers, or her superior among dead ones. She is a charming writer, and one who will not easily find a rival, except in-herself. In other words, she, and she only, is the writer who can make us forget the pleasure which we have received from these 'Romances of Real Life.' "Court Journal.

LETTERS FROM THE ÆGEAN. By JAMES EMERSON, Esq. In 1 vol. 8vo.

"The work of Mr. Emerson is replete with amusement from first to last; it contains much valuable historic and political information; but is principally deserving of praise for the accuracy of its remarks on human life, and the thousand interesting narratives by which these are illustrated."-New-York Critic.

"Dr. Good's extensive reading and retentive memory enable him to enliven the most common elementary details, by interweaving curious, uncommon, or illustrative examples in almost every page.-We have no hesitation in pronouncing the work, beyond all comparison, the best of the kind in the English language. With the naval, the military, the provincial, and the colonial practitioner, the work before us ought at once to supersede the unscientific compilation of Dr. Thomas-and it will do so."-Medico-Chirurg. Review.

"The Editors have been most fortunate in engaging on this work the pen of a scholar both classical and scriptural, and so elegant and powerful a writer, as the Poetry Professor. Few theological works of this order have appeared either in ours or in any her language. To the Christian reader of every age and sex-and we may add 7 sec.-it will be a source of the purest delight, instruction, and comfort and of the infidels who open it merely that they may not remain in ignorance of a workaced by general consent in the ank of an English classic, is there not every reason to hope that many will lay it down in far different mood?"-Blackwood's Magazine.

The letters written to Mr. Dibdin by Mr. Sheridan, George Colman, Henry Harris, Thomas Harris, Mr. Whitbread, Douglas Kinnaird, Peter Moore, Mr. Arnold, and Mr. Elliston, now published for the first time, exhibit Secrets of the Green-Roorn, highly amusing to the public, and particularly gratifying to the lovers of the Drama."-Morning Chronicle.
