It is not on the surface that all this could be exhibited in a volume of two hundred pages; and the superficial reader who turns to The Lily and the Bee, expecting to find in it such amusement as he finds in the Christmas Tales which have of late inundated us, will look for it in vain. Much is told-told with fervid eloquence, with earnest solemnity, with high poetic power. But, as with every work of genius, more still is suggested and awakened within the reader's own mind and heart; and he who will go to the study of this little work with a prepared spirit, will find that not one reading, nor many readings, will exhaust its own thought, or the thoughts, the feelings, the emotions it will awaken within himself. And while it seems to us that the general scope and purpose of Mr Warren's work may be thus described, such description gives no adequate conception of the much more of special purpose included within this general one of the exuberance and variety, the vigour and fervour of illustration, through which all this is brought out; or the magnificent readings, from almost every branch of science, that are wrought into the texture of the whole. We confess that there has been no power in us to be critical upon it-that it bears us along overpowered before the sweep of its thought and emotion."-Dublin University Magazine, (January.)

"Its great theme, its profound thought, its pure language, its noble and elevated sentiments, render it not unworthy of classic immortality."-North British Daily Mail.

"Mr Warren's prose poem, in commemoration of the Great Exhibition, resembles its theme in the variety and vastness of its subjects, and in a sort of overpowering effect upon the mind."-Spectator.

"Of the many who may peruse his exalted prose-poetry, though all may admire the rich fancy and fine mind beaming throughout, few, of necessity, will possess the vast and various readings indispensable to a full estimate of the thronged allusions to Man and his Doings-his aspirings, his discoveries, and his history-in every clime and in every age."-Morning Advertiser.

"We have no hesitation in saying that there are parts of The Lily and the Bee which, once read, will never be forgotten; and which, when, from the force and beauty both of style and matter, they have impressed themselves upon the mind, will often be recurred to, and always with an elevating and purifying effect.

Mr Warren has succeeded, we think, in producing a work that will permanently connect the Exhibition of 1851 with the language and literature of England."Court Journal.

TEN THOUSAND A-YEAR. By SAMUEL WARREN, F.R.S. A New Edition. Three Volumes fcap. 8vo, price 18s.

"Ten Thousand A-Year is perhaps destined, in British literature, to some such rank as Don Quixote holds in that of Spain."-American Journal.

"We consider Gammon the real hero in this mixed drama, which at once resembles Othello and les Plaideurs; the Satan of the Epopeia, which brings to one's memory Paradise Lost and the Lutrin. Consummate skill, perfect hypocrisy, indomitable energy, unbounded ambition-there is Gammon !"-Revue des deux Mondes.

THE DIARY OF A LATE PHYSICIAN, By SAMUEL WARREN, F.R.S. A New Edition. Complete in Two Volumes, price

12s.

"We know of no book in the English language so calculated to rrvet the attention, and awaken the purest and deepest sympathies of the heart, as the Diary of a Late Physician. The man who has not read these tales has yet to learn a lesson in the mysteries of human nature; and though Ten Thousand A-Year may, as a literary composition, claim precedence, we think it lacks something-a very littleof that truthful simplicity, that trusting and religious fervour, that refines every sentiment and hallows every aspiration inspired by the elder work."-Oxford and Cambridge Review.

NOW AND THEN. By SAMUEL WARREN, F.R.S. A New Edition, with the Author's last Corrections and Preface. In one volume royal post 8vo, price 10s. 6d.

"Such is the outline of Mr Warren's present work-a vindication, in beautiful prose, of the ways of God to man.' A grander moral is not to be found than that which dwells upon the reader's mind when the book is closed; conveyed, too, as it is, in language as masculine and eloquent as any the English tongue can furnish."— Times.

"It is sculpture, not painting, that we have here to deal with. The characters are few, the events simple; and both characters and events stand broadly and boldly out, chiselled into big, massive, rigid proportions. It is a book displaying peculiar and remarkable talents. In parts the narration is of breathless interest. There is an utter and blessed absence of conventionalism about the tale; and it is invested with a species of severe epic grandeur which, as it were, overshadows the mind."Morning Chronicle.

THE MORAL, SOCIAL, AND PROFESSIONAL DUTIES OF ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS. By SAMUEL WARREN, Esq., One of Her Majesty's Counsel. Second Edition. In One thick Vol. fcp. 8vo, price 9s.

ANNALS OF THE PENINSULAR CAMPAIGNS. By THOMAS HAMILTON, Esq. Late of the 29th Regiment, Author of "Cyril Thornton," Men and Manners in America," &c. A New Edition, Revised and Augmented by FREDERICK HARDMAN, Esq., Author of "Peninsular Scenes and Sketches," &c. In One Volume Octavo. Price 16s. Cloth.

"Of the chief writers, (on this subject,) Captain Hamilton's work comes nearest to historical calmness and impartiality. Sometimes the coldness and matter-of-factness with which the most astounding incidents and atrocities are chronicled, serves more effectually to impress the thinking reader with the horrors of the contest, than when his sympathies are directly demanded by the fine writing of the historian. The value of Captain Hamilton's work is very greatly increased, in the present edition, by the labours of Mr Hardman."-Scotsman.

SKETCHES

OF THE POETICAL LITERATURE OF THE PAST HALF-CENTURY; in Six Lectures, delivered at the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution. By D. M. MOIR, Esq., (DELTA.) Fcap. 8vo. Second Edition. Price 5s.

"The whole book deserves to be read and studied attentively. It is the most valuable little manual of poetical criticism that has ever come under our observation."-Court Journal.

"His estimate of the works of some of the greatest celebrities in modern literature is marked by sound discrimination and delicate acumen, and his conclusions are promulgated with a perspicuity and an eloquence that give to his writings no less value as original compositions than as critical dissertations."-Morning Post.

FORTIFICATION; for the Use of Officers of the Army and Students of Military History. By LIEUTENANT HENRY YULE, Bengal Engineers. With Illustrative Notes and numerous Engravings. In 8vo, price 10s. 6d.

"We have seldom met with a scientific work more attractive than this, even to unscientific readers. Not the least recommendation of this essay to officers in the Indian army will be found in the information which the author's personal experience has enabled him to furnish respecting Eastern fortification, which appears to supply some useful hints even to the practised European engineer, as in the Sikh intrenchments and the Burmese stockades."-Indian Mail.

THE MOOR AND THE LOCH; containing minute Instructions in all Highland Sports, with Remarks upon the Wild Birds and Beasts of the Scottish Mountain. By JOHN COLQUHOUN, Esq. Third Edition, with which is now incorporated, "RockS AND RIVERS," &c., by the same Author. In 8vo, with numerous Illustrations, 12s. 6d.

THE ANGLER'S COMPANION TO THE RIVERS AND LOCHS OF SCOTLAND. By THOMAS TOD STODDART. In post 8vo, price 10s. 6d. With a Fishing Map of Scotland, and other Illustrations. "Indispensable in all time to come, as the very strength and grace of an Angler's Tackle and Equipment in Scotland, must and will be 'STODDART'S ANGLER'S COMPANION.""-Blackwood's Magazine.

"Without a second's pause of hesitation, we pronounce the book the best extant as an angling guide to the salmon and trout waters of Scotland, and particularly to the famous Tweed and its many tributaries. Every angler who has an ambition to become an adept in the art of killing trout and salmon by means of rod and line, should peruse assiduously Mr Stoddart's work."-Bell's Life.

"Pleasant it is to wander by the loch and stream with such a guide and companion as Mr Stoddart."-Athenæum.

"The author is a perfect enthusiast in the gentle craft,' and the matter seems chiefly drawn from his own experience. A peculiar feature of the book is its detailed account of the Scottish lochs and rivers, with their tributaries. This feature renders The Angler's Companion a necessary volume to any one contemplating a piscatoral excursion in Scotland, independently of its general use as a book of instructions."Spectator.

THE COQUET-DALE FISHING SONGS. Now first Collected and Edited by a NORTH COUNTRY ANGLER. In small 8vo, neatly bound in cloth, price 5s.

LAYS OF THE DEER-FOREST.

A Selection from the Original

Poems of JOHN SOBIESKI STUART and CHARLES EDWARD STUART. With an Essay on Deer-stalking and Roe-Hunting, Notes of Remarkable Incidents in Forest Sports, Traditions of the Clans, and Notices of Natural History in the Deer-Forest. In Two Volumes, post octavo, price 21s.

"This is, we have no hesitation in saying, the best work on deer-stalking which has yet been written; and the amount of information which it contains regarding the habits of the stag and roe, combined with the vivid pictures of which we have made such ample use, cannot fail to render it popular. In an antiquarian point of view it is also highly interesting, for it embodies a large amount of traditionary lore, sketches of the clans, and fragments of Highland song, of much superior merit to those which have hitherto come into our hands. The disquisitions, too, upon the disappearance of some animals once indigenous to Scotland-such as the wolf, the elk, the wild bull, and the beaver-exhibit a great amount of research, and supply a gap which has long been wanted in the page of natural history."-Blackwood's Magazine.

A MEMOIR OF JOHN PHILPOT CURRAN. With Sketches of his Contemporaries. By CHARLES PHILLIPS, Esq., A.B., one of her Majesty's Commissioners of the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors. Fourth Edition. Octavo, with a Portrait. Price 12s. 6d.

It

The present work, while embracing the more valuable portion of the Recollections of Curran formerly published by Mr Phillips, mainly consists of hitherto unpublished matter, in the drawing up of which the author has been for some time engaged. comprises Sketches and Anecdotes of Flood and Grattan, Clare, Tone, Norbury and his Court, Bushe, Plunket, Dean Kirwan, Hamilton Rowan, Clonmell, O'Connell, Emmett, &c.; with specimens of their eloquence, and very copious extracts from the speeches of Curran.

"It may seem an omission, in a work professing to give the Orators as well as the Statesmen of the last age, that Curran should not appear among them-the greatest orator, after Grattan and Plunket, that Ireland has produced, and in every respect worthy of being placed on a line with those great masters of speech. But there is really an insuperable difficulty in attempting a task which has been so inimitably performed already, and within only a few years. Mr C. Phillip's sketch of his friend is certainly one of the most extraordinary pieces of biography ever produced. Nothing can be more lively and picturesque than its representation of the famous original. The reader of it can hardly be said not to have known Curran and Curran's contemporaries. It has been justly said of this admirable work, that it is Boswell minus Bozzy. No library should be without such a piece." LORD BROUGHAM'S Historical Sketches of Statesmen.

"We have quoted enough, and more than enough, to convince the most sceptical of the originality, eloquence, and power of these remarkable volumes. We regard them as a valuable contribution to our national literature, as an effectual antidote to revolutionary principles, and as a masterly analysis of the mind and writings of the greatest philosopher and statesman of our history."- The Britannia.
