ATLAS, Jan. 26, 1839. "A delightful book, full of enjoyment and information, anecdote and adventure, such as boys like, told in a simple and hearty way, as one schoolfellow would talk to another." SPECTATOR, Jan. 20, 1839. "A work which is really useful to the youth of the present generation."MESSENGER, Jan. 20, 1839.

"We confess that we never perused a book which gave us such genuine pleasure; our pony, our garden, our fireside games, hair breadth 'scapes, school pranks, the rentnight supper, all arise before us! In a word, this is a good as well as an instructive book, and ought to be in every boy's hands."

AGE, Jan. 20, 1839.

"The style is healthy and animated, and sufficiently plain to meet the capacity of boys at school, whilst the numerous lively incidents, and the various congenial topics introduced will rivet his attention, and afford him a wide field for gratification."

Let every father put into the hands of his son SPORTING REVIEW, Jan. 1839.

this admirable little manual."

"An honestly, purely, simply written book; the illustrations are as perfect as if Stothard, with all his genius, knowledge, and taste, had forsaken Boccacio for Burns, Spenser for Clare, Italy for an English hedge-row.'

NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE, Feb. 1839.

"There is not in all England a more competent editor for such an autobiography as this, than the author of the Book of the Seasons;' nor are we aware that any other 'real life of a country boy' could ever have been more naturally, spiritually, and heartily described. We see him in every passage and in every scene,-we actually hear him, or feel as if we did, telling his story to a loved companion of kindred disposition. Every boy in the British Empire should have a copy of this book."MONTHLY REVIEW, March, 1839.

in all their Colonies.

Post 8vo. price 10s. 6d. cloth.

"The volume is full of a painful and tragical interest: it enforces a terrible lesson upon the consideration of the people of this country. . . . We know not, indeed, how any man could sit down to such a narrative calmly, and few men could have conducted it to a close with so much ability and discretion.” ATLAS, July 7, 1838.

"We earnestly recommend this volume to the notice of our readers as a most masterly compendium of correct intelligence on all subjects connected with colonization, the slave trade, and slavery." EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE, September 1838.

"The style of the narrative is eloquent and impressive."—

UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE, June 30, 1838.

"To those who take a deep interest, and the number is great, in the matter of the total abolition of slavery, this volume will be an agreeable present."

SUNDAY TIMES, June 30, 1838.

"There is enough to strike ever feeling heart with horror and detestation, and to

call aloud for remedy and redress."

"We have no hesitation in pronouncing (this most important and valuable of any that he (Mr.

LITERARY GAZETTE, July 14, 1838. volume) in its object and scope, the Howitt) has yet produced."

TAIT'S MAGAZINE, August 1838. Nothing can better become us than to be instrumental in propagating the facts, the inferences, and the doctrines which our author has with singular earnestness, ability, and force of eloquence laid before us.'

MONTHLY REVIEW, Aug. 1838.

"The publication of this volume will, we think, do good service."—

CHRISTIAN REFORMER, August 1838.

"A large debt is due to Mr. Howitt for the diligence with which he has collected facts illustrative of the Colonial policy of Christian countries, the care and ability with which he has arranged them, and the fearless and effective manner in which they are presented to the public eye; a valuable addition to modern history."—

CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. "We cannot dismiss the volume without expressing our deep sense of its value, and of the service its publication will render to the cause of humanity."

TRANSLATED BY MARY HOWITT.

The Authoress may justly be termed the "Miss Austin of Sweden." Her works have been extremely popular in her native country, and in Germany alone three editions of them have appeared in rapid succession.

NOTES OF A TRAVELLER,

On the Social and Political State of France, Prussia, Switzerland, Italy, and other parts of Europe, during the present century. By SAMUEL LAING, Esq. 2d Edit. 1 vol. 8vo. 16s. cloth. "The quantity of matter contained in this single volume would outweigh a dozen or twenty common travel-books, and exceeds that of any single work which has for years emanated from the press. Nor is it wanting in literary excellence. The subjects are all important in themselves, and well presented with a view to attract the reader who would take the slightest interest in such kind of questions. Every thing is exhausted, according to Mr. Laing's mode of exhaustion, yet nothing is overdone. His social and political investigations are interesting from their intrinsic importance, and attractive from their racy, vigorous mode of treatment: his political economy and his statistics have none of the dryness frequently attendant upon such subjects, for they are all well selected and applied: the reader sees the object they are advanced to prove, and is not wearied by details which convey no idea of a whole or a purpose. The composition throughout is clear, vigorous, and full of life; the style never stagnates; and in some of the more general descriptions, it displays a rough picture-like power, which presents by a few touches a general view of the country's physical aspect." SPECTATOR

"The statistics, both tabular and explanatory, are elaborate; whether they relate to general questions as the population, the area of the country, the extent of cultivation, the nature of the soil and climate, and the leading particulars connected with agriculture, manufactures, commerce, navigation, the arts; or to matters niore immediately connected with the state-as the finances, the army, the navy, justice, religion, and public education; whilst chapters devoted to government and the court give a view of the royal household, and the different official personages, as well as of the state of affairs previous to the arrival of the King, and an account of the constitution, such as it is. On all these points Mr. Strong's book may be advantageously consulted, especially by persons who take a practical interest in Greece." SPECTATOR,
