"Edition préférée à l'ancienne, parce qu'elle a sur

Brunet.

This interesting work contains the principal letters written by the French Missionaries from China, CochinChina, Siam, and other parts of the East; giving an account of adventures and proceedings in establishing the Catholic religion in these countries. Dibdin says:

"These lettres édifiantes should find a place in the gilded upper shelves of a well-furnished library of any description. I knew an 'old' friend who solaced himself during eight-and-twenty long wintry nights by the perusal of these edifying and curious epistles."" Library Companion

This remarkable black letter volume (consisting of 43 closely printed leaves, with many pious crosses interspersed), is a descriptive Voyage of a learned Hungarian, of the Franciscan order, to Jerusalem, written et consolationem peregrinorum "ad utilitatem terram sanctam visitantium," and seems to have been printed in Hungary or at Vienna. It is of such excessive rarity, that it is not be found in any of the bibliographical catalogues.

"A beautiful volume, and one which we can estdially recommend. Its embellishments are charming; its tone resembling that buoyant and flowing style which has adorned some brilliant pages of Blackwood & Megs zine upon like subjects."- Lit. Gaz.

This work contains a large variety of Piscatorial Incident, Dialogue and Song, more especially adapted to the taste and pursuits of the honest angler,' but equally interesting to every class of readers. It is the produc tion of a gentleman known and admired both as at Angler and as a Scholar, and yielding to none in the enthusiasm with which he follows his "gentle craft.” It is not, therefore, the work of a mere tyro-it is the full and fresh effusion of a genuine disciple of " Old Izaak." It is adapted to all tastes and all ages, as wel as to every rank of society. To the would-be Angle, it furnishes the information necessary to render him perfect in the pursuit he contemplates, even from a minute description of the construction and management of his tackle and bait, up to the most successful and perfect feats of fishery. To the general reader it will afford many and very powerful attractions, as the volume is rich in anecdote and song, and contains numerous local descriptions of some of the most lovely scenery in England.
