AN HISTORICAL ATLAS: being a Series CONFESSIONS of an ELDERLY LADY. By the COUNTESS of BLESSINGTON. With Eight Portraits, One Guinea.

of Maps of the World as known at different periods, constructed on the same scale, and coloured so as to exhibit the successive changes of empire. With a connected Narrative accompanying each Map, so as to afford a complete view of Universal History. By E. QUIN, M.A. of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, and Barrister-at-Law of the Honourable Society of Lincoln's-Inn. 2d Edition, 4to. 2. 2s. half-bound. The Maps by SIDNEY HALL.

"We have seldom had the pleasure of reviewing a more ingenious, elegant, and at the same time philosophical and useful work. It is well worthy of public attention as a specimen of art, independently of its merits as an original and eminently useful auxiliary to the study of the most important branches of human knowledge."

NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, March.

"Mr. Seeley has published a highly-useful series of twenty-one maps, with historical illustrations by Mr. Quin. They are on the same scale, and successively point out, from the creation to the year 1828, the progress of geographical discovery, the rise and decay of nations and empires, and their political changes; so that, by merely glancing the eye on any map, we discover the actual state of the world at its date; and by comparison with any other, the alterations which have occurred, every place being in the same relative spot in the successive plates, and the tints and colouring being significant, and connected with the accompanying text, which contains a well-condensed syllabus of universal history. We know of no publication which forms a more valuable and interesting companion for the historical and geographical student, or for the instruction of young persons."-CHRISTIAN OBSERVER, January.

A UNIVERSAL HISTORY, from the Creation to the Present Time: divided into twenty-one periods at the most remarkable epochs of the world; being a Reprint of the Letter-press of the Historical Atlas. 12mo. 6s. cloth. (2412)

R. B. Seeley and W. Burnside, Fleet Street.

"It forms a pendant to "Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman," by the same fair hand, and fully equals if not exceeds its predecessor. There are a grace and elegance about both works which cannot fail to attract and captivate."-JOHN BULL.

"A more perfect moral anatomization of the female heart has seldom been exhibited in any work of fiction. The serious passages are agreeably relieved by some amusing sketches of the aristocracy of by-gone times.... If the confessions of the Lady' do not exhibit so much variety as those of the Gentleman,' they are infinitely superior in the depth of their interest, and in the excellence of the lessons they inculcate.... There is scarcely a fashionable party in which their respective merits are not the theme of conversation; and the individual who does not evince some knowledge of them will certainly not be suspected of intimacy with the frequenters of the upper circles."-MORNING POST.

"No actual confessions, whosoever the autobiographer might be, ever interested us more; nor were any ever made that proffer a finer and truer lesson to humanity, to women especially. Vanity and pride in women were never laid bare by a firmer or gentler hand....Immeasurably superior to the Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman.""" COURT JOURNAL.

"The Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman' is a deServedly popular work, but its present companion is, we think, superior in most respects."- LITERARY GAZETTE. "The tale throughout is written with ease and elegance."-ATHENÆUM. (2416)

This work being published in a bold and legible type, is adapted for ordinary perusal; and having been carefully collated with two other Editions, and the Text with the Authorized Version, is free from the omission of whole Paragraphs as well as Sentences, Members of Sentences, and many single words, wanting in another Edition, and which make the Author either to contradict himself, or to say what is very absurd. This not being an abridged Edition, but containing the whole of Matthew Henry's Notes, is allowed to be the most popular yet offered to the public. (2447)

This tract is intended to supply a desideratum in the Education of the British people.

All ought to understand a Constitution so justly extolled, and it ought to be engrafted on every system and degree of Education. (2501)
