NEW WORKS, PUBLISHED OCTOBER 16,

BY

SCRIBNER, WELFORD & ARMSTRONG,

743 and 745 BROADWAY, NEW-YORK.

1.

DORE'S GRAND PORTRAITURE OF A GLORIOUS COUNTRY.

SPAIN.

ILLUSTRATED BY 309 ENGRAVINGS DRAWN ON WOOD, BY Gustave Dore.

The Descriptive Letter-Press and Historical Narrative by THE BARON CH. DAVILLIER. One noble quarto volume of about 800 pages, printed on toned paper, and richly bound in cloth; full gilt side (stamped with design taken from the Alhambra), gilt edges. Price, $18.

This magnificent volume may be justly characterized as one of the most valuable, elaborate, and deeply interesting works yet published on modern Spain. It contains a minute and vivid description of nearly every object of historical and romantic interest, which richly abound in that delightful country, famous for knightly adventure, romance, and song. The text is largely interspersed with sprightly proverbs and choice extracts from rare legendary ballads and poems, illustrative of Spanish history, valor, and gallantry. The numerous superb illustrations by M. GUSTAVE DORE, exhibit, with_marvelous fidelity and picturesque beauty, the majestic scenery and grand architecture of the country, the lively manners, piquant dress, and singular customs of its romantic people. Indeed, no labor or expense has been spared to render this sumptuous volume the most beautiful, interesting, and valuable publication, in a literary and artistic point of view, that has ever appeared.

2.

NERO: An Historical Play.

By W. W. STORY, author of " Graffiti D'Italia," etc. 16mo, cloth, $3.

3.

SUPERB NEW WORK BY LACROIX.

THE EIGHTEENTH

CENTURY:

ITS INSTITUTIONS, CUSTOMS, AND COSTUMES. FRANCE, 1700-1789. Illustrated with twenty-one magnificent chromo-lithographs (art gems in themselves), and three hundred and fifty highly finished wood-engravings after Watteau, Vauloo, Rigaud, Boucher, Lancret, J. Veonet, Chardin, Jeaurat, Beauchardon, Saint-Aubin, Eisen, Gravelot, Moreau, Cochin, Wille, Debucourt, etc. The designs, lithographs, and engravings, all executed by eminent artists, under the direction of M. Racinet, the well-known author of "Polychromatic Ornament." In one sumptuous volume, imperial 8vo, cloth, emblematic gilt sides, and gilt edges, $15.

The comprehensive character of this work will be appreciated more fully by noting contents, embracing, as they do, the social ranks and customs, the public occupations, amusements, etc., of "La Belle France," as follows, viz. :

13. Aspect of Paris.

14. Fêtes and Pleasures of Paris. 15. The Cuisine and Table.

16. The Theatres.

17. The Salons.
18. Voyages, etc.

**The splendid success of the various works of M. Lacroix, on the "Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages, and during the Renaissance," suggested the preparation of a work of a similar character, on the "Institutions, Manners, and Dress, in France, during the Eighteenth Century." This sumptuous volume is a brilliant exhibition of every grade of life and society in France, from 1700 to 1789. The work is illustrated with twenty-one full-page CHROMOLITHOGRAPHS richly colored, and 350 BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD. These illustrations are copied with the utmost care from the original paintings of the best and most esteemed artists of the Eighteenth Century, and in beauty of design, exquisite finish, and the real interest of their subjects, far surpass any similar productions. The typographical excellence, and elaborate and appropriate binding, combined with its intrinsic literary and artistic value, render it one of the richest volumes ever published.
