SPAIN, YESTERDAY AND TO-DAY.

BY A LADY.

COMPILED FROM AN ACTUAL JOURNAL.

Foolscap 8vo. Cloth lettered.

Price 5s.

"The idea of this little volume is excellent. An English gentleman of fortune becomes heir to a rich relation in Spain: he travels there with his family, and we have in this work the result of their experience and inquiries. A popular picture of the country was wanted: here we find the essence of many large works presented in a form particularly attractive to the young."-Gloucestershire Chronicle.

PEOPLE AND THE PROVINCES OF IRELAND. WITH A MAP OF THE ROUTE THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND.

Foolscap 8vo. cloth lettered. Price 4s. 6d.

"The author of this work has succeeded to admiration in getting up an attractive volume on Ireland. He conducts the reader from one important place to another, and affords him an entertaining and often touching view of the manners by which the people are distinguished. With the characteristic exhibitions of Irish sentiment and expression contained in the occasional dialogues, we are as much amused as by any sketches of the sort in connexion with the Scotch, by the author of Waverly. The Tour is diversified by conversations and notices, biographical and historical."-Derbyshire Courier.

Instruction and amusement may both be derived from its perusal, and the introduction of numerous plates will add not a little to its charms in the eyes of the youthful historian."-Staffordshire Examiner.

CHEMISTRY NO MYSTERY; OR, A LECTURER'S BEQUEST.

BY JOHN SCOFFERN.

With numerous Illustrations. Foolscap 8vo. cloth lettered. Price 6s. "A very agreeable account of some of the leading facts and principles of Chemistry, not only made plain to the meanest capacity, but attractive, we should imagine, to the most idle youth, and amusing to all."-Spectator.

"This work contains quite as much information as is requisite for any person who does not intend to make Chemistry a professional or hobby-horsical pursuit. The various information is conveyed in a clear and distinct manner, so that the dullest child can hardly fail to understand what it means. We recommend every father to purchase this work for his children, unless they happen to be particularly stupid. It does much credit to Mr. Scoffern, the author: it is very well printed, and neatly bound."-Polytechnic Journal.
