relations appear to those who have never "roamed abroad;" but that we have living witnesses to its authenticity, who were themselves actors in the scenes it describes. The facts are collected from the narrations of the intrepid adventurers, whose names are mentioned above; and, whilst they afford a large fund of rational amusement, cannot but impress upon the young reader a conviction that courage, resolution, and perseverance, will support men in the midst of toils and dangers, and enable them to act an honourable and useful part in the service of their country.

The

TRAVELLER;

or, An Entertaining Journey round the Habitable Globe.

Fourth Edition, illustrated with plates, consisting of Views of the principal Capital Cities of the World, and Costumes of the People. Price 6s. half bound, 12mo.

This Volume is intended as a preparative for the study of geography, by the combination of amusement with instruction, under the fiction of a rapid journey over the surface of the earth. It is divested of the technicalities of most elementary treatises, and all unnecessary or premature constraints upon the memory are avoided.

52. The LADDER TO LEARNING; a Collection of Fables, Original and Select, arranged progressively in one, two, and three Syllables. Edited and improved by Mrs. TRIMMER. With 87 cuts. Twelfth Edition. Price 5s. 6d. plain, or 7s. 6d. coloured, half bound, 12mo.

This is a very excellent Book for the nursery, as it leads the young beginner, by means of entertaining fables, through the etymological gradations of one, two, and three syllables, without wearying his attention, or producing disgust by the tiresome task of spelling words destitute of connection with each other, and therefore to him devoid of interest. The labour of compiling a work upon such a plan cannot be readily conceived; and the Authoress, whose exertions on behalf of the rising. generation in other respects have had the meed of public approbation, has here added another gem to her literary honours.

53. ALFRED CAMPBELL; or, The Young Pilgrim ; containing Travels in Egypt and the Holy Land. By Mrs. HorLAND. Second Edition, illustrated with 24 engravings. Price 6s. 6d. half bound, 12mo.

The Writer of these Travels has "endeavoured to present, in a form acceptable to youth, the leading facts and most interesting descriptions of the places spoken of, as given by approved authors;" and her endeavour has not failed to give satisfaction to all who have read it. The dry de

tails of the traveller's journal are suppress

ed, and those adventures only are presented which can afford entertainment and en

large the sphere of knowledge.

54.

THE YOUNG PILGRIM; or, Alfred Campbell's Return to the East, and his Travels in Egypt, Nubia, Asia Minor, Arabia Petræa, &c. By Mrs. HOFLAND. Illustrated with 12 engravings. Price 5s. 6d. half bd., 12mo.

"The Compiler of Alfred Campbell's Pilgrimage has received permission of Captain Mangles to extract from his excellent and unique work, descriptions for this Second Tour; in addition to which it is indebted to the Over-land Journey to India of Major Campbell, and S. F. Henniker's Work. A part of the information contained in this Volume has not yet been

offered to the public in any other form, and will, therefore, it is hoped, be duly estimated by the class of readers to whom

it is so kindly conceded by the original

writer, from the most amiable motives."Author's Preface.

dents of the Burmese War, selected from the details of Captain Snodgrass, afford a pleasing series of striking adventures, of which the value is enhanced by their ⚫ being free from fiction; and, at the same time, they exhibit the character of the Orientals, particularly of the Burmese, in vivid but true colours. The propensity for the marvellous, to which the juvenile mind is ever inclined, will also be highly gratified by the account of the stupendous works of ancient art at Elora, abridged from the elaborate descriptions of Captain Seely, and judiciously accommodated to the capacities of youth.

56. The SON of a GENIUS; a Tale, by Mrs. HOFLAND. A new Edition, revised and considerably enlarged by the Author; with a frontispiece. Price 3s. 18mo. half bound.

The life of a man of genius is but too often a life of improvidence and consequent penury. The absorption of every other sense and feeling into the grand master-passion for the sublime, reduces the man to the state of a mere child, and he is every moment exposed to the rapacity and knavery of those cool unenthusiastic beings, who know no happiness but wealth, no morality but self-interest. To secure a SON, whose early life bespoke an ardent pursuit of taste, from the perils to which this passion, inordinately pursued, might lead him, a MOTHER wrote this Work,in which she gives a highly-finished, though not extravagant, portrait of a man of talent pursuing his taste without restraint, contrasted with that of his son, whose talents, no wise inferior to those of his parent, were regulated by the precepts of religion and the rules of right reason. The consequences may be readily anticipated; the father, after a life of great vicissitudes, died in want: but the son, rising gradually from a state of indigence, obtained, by industry and prudence, a handsome competency for himself, his widowed mother, and his orphan sister. Most happily did the Authoress succeed in her design: her son, moved by the example she had pourtrayed in the Hero of her Work, was enabled" to encounter with the humility of a Christian, and the firmnness of a man, severe and unexpected trials," and was led, from the purest motives, to devote his subsequent life, not to the study of nature only, but to the service of that God who created nature. The success of this book may in some measure be judged of from the fact of its having been "translated into every European language; and in France, Germany, and Holland, it has gone through numerous editions: the wise have condescended to praise it; the good to circulate it." The present edition has been carefully re-written by the Authoress, and considerably entarged; but the story remains unaltered.

57. The ANIMAL MUSEUM; or, Picture Gallery of Quadrupeds. By the Author of "Conversations on Astronomy." With engrav

ings of nearly 100 Animals, of various kinds, tame and wild. Price 8s. half bd., 12mo.

It will be perused with great interest, and equal advantage, by the juvenile class for which it is intended.

59. A VISIT TO GROVE COTTAGE; and, THE INDIA CABINET OPENED. New Edition. Price 3s. half bound, 18mo.

This little Work exhibits a very pleasing combination of amusement and instruction, particularly calculated for young ladies. To give a concise description of it would be difficult, as it embraces so great a variety of information. The following strike the eye on a cursory examination of the book. The CornetThe Razor-fish-The Ship Worm-The Microscope Mineralogy - Astronomy -Anecdotes of Ferguson, &c.

60. The ADVENTURES of CONGO in SEARCH of his MASTER; a Tale, containing a true Account of a Shipwreck. Third Edition. Price 3s. half bound, 18mo.

This little Narrative, founded on facts, cannot but excite a lively interest in the reader, as he accompanies the affectionate Negro in a wayward peregrination. The incidents, judiciously selected, are so skilfully connected, that the omission of any one would seem to leave an essential part of the story untold. The adventures, which are numerous, and mostly of a pa

thetic character, are well calculated to exhibit the advantage of good principles imbibed in early life, as they gradually develope themselves in rectitude of conduct, and a firm reliance upon Divine goodness.

61. CLAUDINE; or, Humility the Basis of all the Virtues; a Swiss Tale. By the Author of "Always Happy," &c. Sixth Edition, illustrated with 12 engravings. Price 4s. 6d. plain; or 6s. coloured, half bound, 12mo.

In the highly-finished character of Claudine, we have an amiable personification of Christian humility and practical virtue. The mind is deeply affected with the contemplation of her fortitude under a heavy pressure of woe, admires the self-possession which she evinces in moments of the most trying exigency, and rejoices in her deliverance. Under the influence of truly Christian principles, a very young daughter becomes a blessing to her family in the time of its prosperity; and its support and stay in the days of adversity. Instead of repining at what are usually, though erroneously, termed "cross providences," we see her submitting patiently to her lot, and rising in the scale of excellence, in proportion as the pressure is increased: and hard indeed must be the heart which receives not a sympathetic impulse to emulate her example! The scene is laid in Switzerland, the romantic and sublime beauties of which are pleasingly described; and the simple manners and peculiar customs of the people are faithfully depicted from actual observation.

62. THE HISTORY OF WILLIAM TELL, the Patriot of Switzerland; a free Translation from the French of FLORIAN. And the LIFE of HOFER, the Tyrolese Patriot; by the Author of "Claudine." New Edition, in 1 vol. illustrated with 24 engravings. Price 6s. half bound, 12mo.

These Tales are too well known to require any comment; let it suffice to remark, that, in the most chaste and impressive style, they display not only the history of these great men, but of every virtue calculated to improve and refine mankind.

63. The LITERARY BOX, containing the Contributions of the Evelyn Family; consisting of Instructive and Amusing Tales, in Prose and Verse. With 12 engravings. Price 3s. 6d. plain; or 4s. tid. coloured, half bound, 12mo.

An "Idle Hour Employed" over this little Volume, will be an idle hour improved. The work consists of a number of pleasing tales, the morals of which are so self-evident, as to need no application: the meanest capacity cannot fail to perceive them.

and PERSEVERANCE, exemplified in the Histories of Persons, who, from the lowest state of Poverty and early Ignorance, have risen to the highest Eminence in the Arts and Sciences. By ELIZABETH STRUTT, Author of "Practical Wisdom," &c. With a frontispiece, containing 13 portraits. Price 7s. boards, 12mo.

Nothing can better conduce to excite emulation in the minds of generous youth, than the perusal of this Work, which, under the semblance of amusement, leads out the mind to imitate great and worthy examples.

69. The TWIN SISTERS; or, The Advantages of Religion. By Miss SANDHAM. Seventeenth Edition. With plates. Price 3s. half bound, 18mo.

As the end of life is death, after which comes "the judgment," at which will be decided the ultimate fate of the individual, according to the manner in which he has fulfilled the duties of his probationary state, it is evident that a life of piety and devotion towards God, and of active benevolence towards our fellow-creatures, is the only mode of existence that the truly wise will choose. Such a line of conduct gradually prepares the soul for its final purpose; ripens it to perfection, and makes the dissolution of the body but a happy release from a cumbrous weight, that had too frequently repressed the sublime flights of the spirit. The inculcation of these truths should be the scope of every work put into the hands of youth, whether

with a preceptive intention, or simply for amusement: and admirably suited to this purpose is the narrative of "THE TWIN SISTERS," in which the benefits of devotion are illustrated in the lives of two very young persons, whose pursuits were, not the vanities of the world, but the true and lasting pleasures of religion, and time well spent. The tale is told in an engaging and affecting style; a great interest is kept up by the introduction of various well-drawn characters; and, in the sequel, it fully sustains the proposition with which the writer sets out that if the duties of Christianity be not attended to in life, its support and consolation must not be expected in the hour of death.

70. RECOLLECTIONS of a BELOVED SISTER, interspersed with Reflections, addressed to her own Children. By the Author of "Little Sophy." Price 3s. 6d. boards, 12mo.

"It certainly presents a true and faithful picture of a delicate and high-minded female, exposed in very early life to the

dangers of the world, yet threading all its intricate mazes with a firm step and upright demeanour, and escaping unhurt from the ordeal of its perils, though unsupported by any other arm than His, who has said, Leave thy fatherless children, and let thy widow trust in Me.' She passed, like gold, through the fire, and came out from it only more purified, and meet for the inheritance of the saints in light."— Author's Preface.
