SYDNEY SMITH'S WORKS. LATELY PUBLISHED, THE WORKS OF THE REV. THE REV. SYDNEY SMITH. 2d Edition. 3 vols. 8vo. with Portrait, 36s. ***This collection consists of the Author's Contributions to "The Edinburgh Review," Peter Plymley's "Letters on the Catholics," and other Miscellaneous Works. "Sydney Smith's Writings, independently of their historical value, as the expression of an age full of intellectual and social activity, have enriched our prose literature with additions more precious than any which it had previously received since the days of Addison and Swift. His criticism is remarkable beyond all comparison for compression of matter, clearness of thought, and a light and clear style of exposition and argumentation; his letters have the easy and transparent clearness of Swift in the Drapier, the keen sarcastic edge of Junius, without a particle of Junius's malignity, and with these a light joyous humour, which revels in the exposure and destruction of absurdity." From an Article on the late Rev. Sydney Smith, in the Morning Chronicle of March 1, 1845. 2. LETTERS on the subject of the CATHOLICS, to my Brother Abraham, who lives in the Country.

"The Letters of Peter Plymley to his Brother in the Country are at this day amongst the most interesting and amusing publications with which a few leisure hours could be occupied. They are written in the best spirit of controversy; they abound in the happiest illustrations; and, though light, lively, and sparkling, these qualities abate nothing of their logical force and downright common sense."
