BY JAMES HAIRBY, M.D. This Volume will record the impressions of a two years' residence, and sundry journeyings in the province, furnishing a useful guide to visitors, and information for tarryat-home travellers. The Illustrations will consist of a variety of subjects, COSTUME, LANDSCAPE, AND Normandy, the cradle of our monarchy and aristocracy, the last restingplace of our early kings, and the scene of our first great struggles against France, must ever have strong interest for Englishmen. We find our national associations connected with its most striking localities; and many of our leading families must refer to the archives of this province for the antiquities of their race. It is also as rich in natural scenery as it is in historical associations; its peasants surpass those of the rest of France in industry, intelligence, and comforts; while the numerous English families who annually visit its sea-coast for the purpose of bathing have brought it almost as close to England in alliance as it was anciently in connection. Square Royal. THIS BEAUTIFUL VOLUME IS DEDICATED BY SPECIAL COMMAND TO HER MAJESTY. THE RHINE BOOK, by an arrangement entirely novel, seeks to separate the Romance of Travel from its Commonplace. Numerous illustrations from original sketches, and all the attractions of the finest printing, render the volume worthy of the library, the drawing-room, or the boudoir, whilst it unites with its claims to elegance those points of practical usefulness necessary in a Guide Book. Dates, distances, times, and prices, are fully and exactly stated, to enable the Tourist to know and regulate his expenses at pleasure, and to avoid those extortions to which, when destitute of such information, he would most certainly be subject. "Our perusal of the book enables us to say that it fully bears out this description of its contents. The information necessary for the comfort and convenience of the tourist, down to the most minute particulars, is exact and satisfactory; and the general reader will find poetry, romance, and legendary lore sufficient to rouse his imagination and gratify his curiosity, though he should never visit the scenes to which they belong. The volume is richly embellished with vignettes representing the most remarkable objects and most picturesque features of scenery, executed with the beauty for which Mr. How's illustrated publications are so highly distinguished."-John Bull. "We can with truth recommend this volume as combining more entertaining matter with a large quantity of really useful information than we have hitherto seen in any work on the Rhine."-Sunday Times. With One Hundred Engravings, square royal, Price 14s. in cloth. 10 MR. HOW'S LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. THE OLD FOREST RANGER; Or, Wild Sports of India, ON THE NEILGHERRY HILLS, IN THE JUNGLES, AND ON THE PLAINS. BY CAPT. WALTER CAMPBELL, OF SKIPNESS, LATE OF THE SEVENTH ROYAL FUSILEERS. The Second Edition revised, with Eight Lithotint Plates, and several Woodcuts. "A second edition in a twelvemonth is, in a not unimportant particular, highly intelligible criticism. And Captain Campbell deserves his success. A new subject, and very fresh and hearty treatment, are intelligible claims to it. His book describes the more exciting of the field sports of India. Tiger and boar hunting, deer stalking, bison and bear shooting, are among the perilous exploits and hair-breadth 'scapes of the adventurous forest ranger. It is a dainty-looking volume for such rough scenes, but the lithograph illustrations are full of character."-Examiner. Square Royal, price One Guinea in scarlet cloth, richly gilt. HIGH LIFE IN NEW YORK. BY JONATHAN SLICK, Esq. "How Jonathan Slick went to see Madame Celeste, and his opinions thereon, and how Fanny Elssler sought him, and his opinions of her, will amuse the reader who seeks them, in these volumes. How, at a milliner's, Jonathan mistook a pair of French corsets for a side saddle-and a capital tale of a milliner which he tells, amid some other records of the sorrows of milliner life-are, also, worth referring to at the same source."- Athenæum. "If this is not Sam Slick under a new prænomen, it is a capital imitation."- Spectator. In Two Volumes, Price 14s. cloth. TOM RACQUET AND HIS THREE MAIDEN AUNTS. WITH A WORD OR TWO ABOUT "THE WHITTLEBURYS." BY CHARLES W. MANBY. Illustrated by Cruikshank. 8vo. Price 9s. bound. |
