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

"A beautiful volume, and one which we can cordially recommend. Its embellishments are charming; its tone resembling that buoyant and flowing style which has adorned some brilliant pages of Blackwood's Magazine 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 production of a gentleman known and admired both as an 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 well as to every rank of society. To the would-be Angler, 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.
