Post 8vo. price 10s. cloth.
2.

PICTURES OF LIFE IN MEXICO.

By R. H. MASON, Esq.

2 vols. post 8vo. with Etchings, price 24s. cloth.

"An amusing book. Mr. Mason is essentially a picture maker. His pencil possesses something of fluency and grace-of descriptive facility and graphic characterization. His pen is an instrument of the same quality; it delights in prose and costume, and the portraiture of moving incidents, adventures, and escapes; a dirty padré, a fierce ladrone, a joyous senoreta, a gaily-dressed cavalier, is sure to seize his eye, and inspire a picture or suggest a tale."-ATHENÆUM.,

3.

"The value of these volumes is unquestionable. We feel a perfect reliance on Mr. Mason's statements whether they refer to the mining, hunting, farming, or swindling portion of the inhabitants: the Indian hut, the civic council board, the beggar, or the monk, real men and women pass before us. Statistical and tabular documents are brought to bear with official weight on the author's personal conclusions."-GLOBE.

WOMEN OF CHRISTIANITY,
EXEMPLARY FOR PIETY AND CHARITY.

By Miss JULIA KAVANAGH, Author of "Woman in France," "Nathalie," &c.
1 vol. post 8vo. with Portraits, price 12s. in embossed cloth, gilt edges.

"The women pourtrayed have been selected from every | feeling, and with general fairness and truth: she displays period of the Christian era; the same range of female bio- subtle penetration and broad sympathy, joining therewith graphy is taken by no other volume; and an equal skill in purity and pious sentiment, intellectual refinement and the delineation of characters is rarely to be found. The large heartedness, and writes with unusual elegance and author has accomplished her task with intelligence and felicity."-NONCONFORMIST.

4.

THE TWO FAMILIES:

AN EPISODE IN THE HISTORY OF CHAPELTON.
By the Author of "ROSE DOUGLAS."
2 vols. post 8vo.

"The object of the writer is to shew the importance of religion through life, more especially in the training of children, by contrasting the career of two families for two generations. The novel belongs to the quiet school; the persons and incidents are those of every-day life, told in a congenial spirit."-SPECTATOR.

5.

"Another novel by the author of 'Rose Douglas' could not fail to be welcomed by us with more than ordinary heartiness and curiosity. The contrast of riches, without religion and poverty, with piety, displayed in one and the same family, has rarely been depicted in a manner more entirely void of offence and exaggeration."-ATHENÆUM.

AGATHA BEAUFORT; or, Family Pride.

By the Author of "PIQUE." 3 vols. post 8vo.

"A romance of most mysterious character, hardly want- | agreeable, the dialogue spirited and vigorous, the interest ing anything to entitle it to take a place beside one of well kept up, and the dramatic effect bold and striking." Mrs. Radcliffe's nerve-thrilling tales."-GLOBE. LITERARY GAZETTE. "A romance of peculiar interest, with a plot of great originality. We fully expect that Agatha Beaufort will be one of the most popular novels of the season."

"Agatha Beaufort is some degrees above the common run of novels, in point of interest, and will probably be popular in circulating libraries. The style is easy and
