"Few individuals deserve better than Alcuin to be rescued from the shadowy mass of eminent men who illuminated a darker age, and set before us an object for undivided attention. The great influence and importance which marked his career are ably traced; and the period of Charlemagne is curiously illustrated by the whole tenor of his life."-Literary Gazette.

"These volumes are invaluable; they contain the very pith and marrow of our best Naval Histories and Chronicles; compiled from the most authentic sources, and a careful investigation of the various logs and other records deposited in Greenwich Hospital and the Admiralty. By this means many new facts, as well as important minutiæ, are here published for the first time. During the whole extended period over which his researches range, Mr. Allen has not omitted one naval action of the slightest moment: indeed, the work contains more information than the largest Naval History, and no doubt will be taken under the patronage of the Admiralty, and obtain a place in the dif ferent seamen's libraries on board Her Majesty's ships."--Sun.

"Mr. Allen has in these two volumes before us, supplied us with a lucid digest of facts, scattered throughout upwards of one hundred volumes, and his work is, accordingly, the best and most complete repository of the triumphs of the British navy which has yet issued from the press. A more valuable addition to the sailor's libraries, which have recently been established throughout the service, cannot be conceived." -United Service Gazelle.

"We acknowledge ourselves indebted to Mr. Wilkin, for the delight we have experienced in the re-perusal of the noble writings of this author, and for the admirable and hitherto unpublished fragments which he has collected. The latter contain passages of great power, hardly inferior to the finest parts of the works by which his fame is established."-Atheneum.

"Sir Thomas Browne, the contemporary of Jeremy Taylor, Hooker, Bacon, Selden, and Robert Burton, is undoubtedly one of the most eloquent and poetical of that great literary era. His thoughts are often truly sublime, and always conveyed in the most impressive language."-Chambers.

Dr. Johnson secretly and unremittingly formed his style upon the basis of that of Sir Thomas Browne, a name in every respect worthy of grateful remembrance. Southey, in several of his critical labours in the Quarterly Review, shows how fondly and familiarly he has made himself acquainted with the prototype of Johnson.' ."-Dibdin's Library Companion.

"A great English writer; he ennobles and consecrates whatever he touches. Past and present, life and dissolution, time and immortality, seem to meet in his works as in a fane for festal purpose.' Never surely by any other writer has so much sentiment been put into the dry bones of antiquity."-Retrospective Review.

"A superior genius is exhibited in Sir Thomas Browne. His mind was fertile and ingenious: his analogies original and brilliant; and his learning so much out of the beaten path that it gives a peculiar and uncommon air to all his writings."-Hallam.

"The Religio Medici was no sooner published than it excited the attention of the public by the novelty of its paradoxes, the dignity of sentiment, the quick succession of images, the multitude of abstruse allusions, the subtlety of disquisition, and the strength of language."-Dr. Johnson.

"A very entire and comprehensive view of the United States, diligently collected by a man of great acuteness and observation."-Literary Gazette.

"One of the most interesting series of works, descriptive of the New World, which has ever emanated from the press. The extensive geographical range of the country traversed by our experienced traveller--the multiplicity of subjects which have occupied his

pen-his very agreeable style of composition-the ability and tact with which he has blended historical and statistical matter with light delineations of manners and customs-combine to produce a book of travels containing literary ana unsurpassed for novelty, comprehensiveness, and interest, in any extant work."East India Telegraph. BURKE'S (EDMUND) COMPLETE WORKS, in 9 thick vols. 8vo. extra cloth, (pub. at 51. 12s.) reduced to 31. 13s. 6d. 1845

The present edition of Burke's works includes the whole of his speeches, and is more complete than any one which has hitherto appeared. It comprises the entire contents of the former edition of his works in sixteen octavo volumes, including two volumes of speeches on the trial of Hastings, published in 1827, and which have never before been republished; also a reprint of the work entitled, "An Account of the European Settlements in America," which, though published anonymously, is well known to have been written by Burke, but is not contained in the English edition of his works.

WORKS, with a Biographical and Critical Introduction by ROGERS, 2 vols. imperial 8vo. closely but handsomely printed, extra cloth, (pub. at 21. 28.) reduced to 17. 10s. 1841 "Shakspeare and Burke are, if I may venture on the expression, above talent. Burke was one of the first thinkers, as well as one of the greatest orators, of his time. He is without any parallel in any age or country, except perhaps Lord Bacon and Cicero, and his works contain an ampler store of political and moral wisdom than can be found in any other writer whatever."-Sir J. Mackintosh.

"The compositions of Burke are master-pieces. Who can withstand the fascination and magic of his eloquence? The excursions of his genius are immense. His imperial fancy has laid all nature under tribute, and has collected riches from every scene of the creation, and every walk of art. He who can read his works without pleasure must resign all pretensions to taste and sensibility."-Robert Hall. BURKE'S ENCYCLOPÆDIA OF HERALDRY, OR GENERAL ARMORY OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND, comprising a Registry of all Armorial Bearings, Crests, and Mottoes, from the earliest period to the present time, including the late Grants by the College of Arms. With an Introduction to Heraldry, and a Dictionary of Terms. Third edition, with a Supplement; one very large vol. imperial 8vo. beautifully printed in small type in double columns by Whittingham, embellished with an elaborate frontispiece, richly illuminated in gold and colours; also wood-cuts, extra cloth boards, full gilt back, (pub. at 21. 28.) reduced to 17. 58. 1844

The most elaborate and useful work of the kind ever published. It contains upwards of 30,000 armorial bearings, and incorporates all that have hitherto been given by Guillim, Edmondson, Collins, Nisbet, Berry, Robson, and others; besides many thousand names which have never appeared in any previous work. This volume, in fact, in a small compass, but without abridgment, contains more than four ordinary quartos. This book is interesting to every man in society. The contents not being merely of the day, there is no danger of its becoming obsolete, but like its prototype Edmondson, it must always remain a library book. BURNS' (ROBERT) COMPLETE POETI

CAL AND PROSE WORKS, including his Reliques, with an Account of his Life and Writings, and some Observations on the Character and Condition of the Scottish Peasantry, by JAMES CURRIE, M.D. F.R.S. New edition, with considerable Additions, including further particulars of the Author's Life, and new Notes, illustrative of his Poems and Letters, by his brother, Gilbert Burns, 5 vols. 8vo. illustrated by fine portrait by Nasmyth, fac-simile

the same, morocco extra, full gilt, 17. This is positively the only complete edition of Burns, in a single volume, 8vo. It contains not only every scrap which Burns ever wrote, whether prose or verse, but also a considerable number of Scotch national airs, collected and illustrated by him (not given elsewhere) and full and interesting accounts of the occasions and circumstances of his various writings. The very complete and interesting Life by Allan Cunningham alone occupies 164 pages, and the Indices and Glossary are very copious. The whole forms a thick elegantly printed volume, extending in all to 848 pages. The other editions, including one published in similar shape, with an abridgment of the Life by Allan Cunningham, comprised in only 47 pages, and the whole volume in only 504 pages, do not contain above two-thirds of the above. It seems the more necessary to call attention to this fact, as the edition referred to has lately been put forth as "the only complete edition." One minute's comparison will be sufficient to undeceive in this respect.

1844

"Four volumes pressed into two, and yet much superior to the former edition, ought to be well received."-Literary Gazette.

"This book presents such an anecdotic and gossipping tone, that it will tempt the idle and careless to plunge over head into knowledge before they are aware of the fact, and commit them unsuspectingly in the much needed paths of serious thought and useful study. The Memoirs are of peculiar value in the light they throw on the condition and fortunes of the masses over whom Frederick ruled."-Athenæum.

"The standard life of Petrarch. The fortunes and career of the poet are traced with admirable distinctness; his devoted passion for Laura is finely developed and characterized; and his poetical character is analyzed and estimated with all the power of a kindred genius. This work must take its place in our libraries as one of the most interesting and important historical works of our time."-Athenæum. CARY'S TRANSLATION OF DANTE, new edition, in one thick handsome vol. post 8vo. (upwards of 600 pages, printed uniformly with the Standard Library), extra gilt cloth, 78. 6d. Just published, 1847

This new and elegant edition is superior to any previous one, being revised by his sons, and printed in a larger and handsomer type than heretofore. Cary's version of Dante is unanimously allowed to be one of the most masterly productions of modern times. "Shelley always says that reading Dante is unfavourable to writing, from its superiority to all possible compositions."-Byron.

"Of all the translators of Dante with whom we are acquainted, Mr. Cary is the most successful; and we cannot but consider his work a great acquisition to the English reader. It is executed with a fidelity almost without example."-Edinburgh Review.
