BRAMBLETYE HOUSE; or, CAVALIERS and ROUNDHEADS. The Third Edition revised. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 31s. 6d.

"We would by no means rank the author of Brambletye House' among imitators. He has too much genius, too much boldness, too much originality, to be put among such a class. He is rather to be regarded as an intrepid, and not an unsuccessful competitor, who has had the courage to face the mighty Champion of the North, and challenge him to the contest in his own field, and with his own favourite weapons. None we know of has come so near his great rival in generous competition. There is the same brilliancy and force and picturesque completeness in the descriptive parts, the same rapidity in the movements, the same distinctness and individuality and truth in the characters, the same vivacity in the dialogue, and the same power of exciting and keeping up of interest. Like our great Scottish Novelist, too, he has shown wonderful versatility of talent; and the grave, the comic, the humble, and the sublime-what excites pleasure, and what overwhelms with terror and awe-seem equally natural to him."-Edinburgh Magazine.

"Mrs. Radcliffe's new Romance is worthy to be hersher image and superscription are on it."-News of Literature and Fashion.

"Mrs. Radcliffe's last Romance is likely to attract, in no common degree, the attention of the literary world. The delicacy of her sentiments, the force and beauty of her reflections, and the splendour of her imagination, are conspicuous in every page."-British Press.

Works published by Henry Colburn.

ROSCOE'S GERMAN NOVELISTS: Tales selected from ancient and modern Authors in that Language, from the earliest period to the close of the Eighteenth Century; with Critical and Biographical Notices. In 4 vols. post 8vo, uniform with the Italian Novelists. Price 38s.

"Mr. Roscoe has accomplished his interesting, but laborious task, with great credit to his own skill and research; and has produced one of the most valuable books to be found in the whole circle of fiction."-Morning Chronicle.

DE VAVASOUR; a Tale of the Fourteenth Century. 3 vols. post 8vo. 31s. 6d.

"We feel confident in stating that this tale is the production of Lord Blessington."-Literary Gazette, May 1826.

"His Lordship has chosen a remote era, but has carried to his investigation the light-hearted, and, we were about to say, insolent spirit of curiosity which characterizes the modern temper; and accordingly he has drawn a picture, which we feel to be unusual, but are inclined to suspect may be true."-New Monthly Magazine, June 1826.

TO-DAY in IRELAND; a Series of Tales; containing the Carders; Connemara; Old and New Light; and the Toole's Warning. Second Edition. 3 vols. post 8vo. 27s. SANDOVAL; or, The Freemason: a Tale of the Spanish Revolution. By the Author of "Don Esteban." In 3 vols. post Svo. 28s. 6d.

"This is a novel quite of the higher order of those which aspire to make imaginative composition ministrative to the genuine purposes of history: that is to say, to make us acquainted with the genuine manners, characters, and state of society in the age and country to which they refer. It is the production, if we are rightly informed, of a Spanish refugee of some rank, and high estimation, whose narration is very far from being altogether fiction; and who, indeed, with respect to the essentials of his very interesting story, might say with Æneas, All which I saw, and part of which I was.'"-Panoramic Miscellany, April 1826.

A NEW SERIES of ARABIAN NIGHTS' ENTERTAINMENTS; selected from the original Oriental Ms. By Jos. VON HAMMER, and now first translated into English by the Rev. GEORGE LAMB. In 3 vols. foolscap 8vo. price 188.

"The Arabian Tales possess other charms to recommend them, besides the abundance of the marvellous and supernatural which they contain; namely, the vivid picture they present of the customs, manners, prejudices, and every thing in the slightest degree referring to the nations among whom the wondrous incidents they relate are supposed to have occurred. Will it not, then, be a sufficient recommendation of these volumes to state, that they fall by no means short of their greatly admired predecessors in this respect? Indeed, several of these Tales are more than either works of fiction, or pictures of the customs, manners, &c. of the nations of which they treat. Some of them will be found to contain much excellent moral instruction and philosophical reflection. The imaginative and descriptive parts will be found equally interesting and beautiful.”—Morning Post.

RICHMOND; or, SCENES in the LIFE of a BOWSTREET OFFICER; drawn up from his private Memoranda. 3 vols. post 8vo. 28s. 6d.

"Some be'th of war and some of woe,

And some of fun and fudge also;

Some of escapes, and guile, and death;
Also of love forsooth there be'th."

CONFESSIONS of an OLD BACHELOR. In 1 vol. post 8vo. 10s. 6d.

"Whoever this old bachelor may be, we hesitate not to term him one of the most entertaining, instructive, and philosophical authors that has lately come before our critical tribunal."-Literary Chronicle.

"There is a considerable quantum of talent and much acute observation in these pages."—Literary Gazette.
