yourself looking out on the river, or watching what floats by, or fishing with a pin at high water," replied Mary, looking at me.

"I like the river," replied I, gravely; I was born on it, and hope to get my bread on it."

"And I like this sitting-room," rejoined Stapleton; how mighty comfortable it will be to sit at the open window, and smoke in the summer time, with one's jacket off!"

"At all events, you'll have no excuse for dirtying the room, father; and as for the lad, I suppose his smoking days have not come yet.”

"No," replied I; "but my days for taking off my jacket are, I suspect."

"O yes," replied she, "never fear that; father will let you do all the work you please, and look onwon't you, father?"

"Don't let your tongue run quite so fast, Mary; you're not over fond of work yourself."

"No; there's only one thing I dislike more," re-. plied she, and that's holding my tongue."

"Well, I shall leave you and Jacob to make it out together; I am going back to the Feathers." old Stapleton walked down stairs, and went back to the inn, saying, as he went out, that he should be back to his dinner.

THE INVISIBLE GENTLEMAN.

By the Author of "CHARTLEY," "THE FATALIST," etc. etc. "It is a novel which may be termed the whimsically supernatural."— Athenæum.

"The present narrative is one of the most entertaining fictions we have met with for a long time; the idea is very original, and brought into play with a lively air of truth, which gives a dramatic reality even to the supernatural."-Literary Gazette.

"The adventures follow each other with delightful rapidity and variety; occasionally there is a deep and thrilling touch of pathos, which we feel not a bit the less acutely, because the trouble and wo of the parties have originated in the familiar and somewhat laughable act of pulling an ear." -Court Magazine.

In Two Volumes, 12mo.

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS.

"The best novel of the season-a faithful, exact, and withal spirited picture of the aristocracy of this country-an admirable description of what is called high life, and full of a more enlarged knowledge of human nature."-Spectator.

"A very lively and amusing panorama of actual life."-Lit. Gazette.

"A very interesting work, full of well-described scenes and characters, and altogether deserving of being classed with the first-rate novels of the day."-Courier.

"It would be difficult to lay down such a book until every chapter has been perused. Elegance and force of style-highly but faithfully drawn pictures of society-are merits scarcely secondary to those we have enumerated: and they are equally displayed throughout. Mothers and Daughters' must find its way rapidly into every circle."-Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.

THE BOOK OF BEAUTY;

COMPRISING A COLLECTION OF TALES, POEMS, ETC.

BY L. E. L.

"We have been long acquainted with Miss Landon as a true and im. passioned poet: we had read an occasional prose tale of hers in the Annuals; but still we were unprepared for the varied talents exhibited in L. E. L.'s Book of Beauty."

"We cannot enter into the poetic merits of the volume, or dwell long upon its prose; enough that the Book of Beauty is worthy of the genius and industry of one of the most extraordinary and meritorious writers of the times."-Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.

In Two Volumes, 12mo.

TRAITS AND STORIES OF THE IRISH PEASANTRY

FIRST SERIES.

"Admirable-truly, intensely Irish: never were the outrageous whimsi calities of that strange, wild, imaginative people so characteristically described; nor amidst all the fun, frolic, and folly, is there any dearth of poetry, pathos, and passion. The author's a jewel."-Glasgow Journal.

"To those who have a relish for a few tit-bits of rale Irish story-telling, whether partaking of the tender or the facetious, or the grotesque,let them purchase these characteristic sketches."-Sheffield Iris.

"The sister country has never furnished such sterling genius, such irresistibly humorous, yet faithful sketches of character among the lower ranks of Patlanders, as are to be met with in the pages of these delightful volumes."-Bristol Journal.

"This is a capital book, full of fun and humour, and most characteristically Irish."-New Monthly Magazine.

"Neither Miss Edgeworth, nor the author of the O'Hara Tales, could have written any thing more powerful than this."-Edinburgh Literary Gazette. "We do not hesitate to say, that for a minute and accurate sketching of the character, manners, and language of the lower orders of the Irish, no book was ever published at all equal to this."-Spectator.

In Two Volumes, 12mo.

TRAITS AND STORIES OF THE IRISH PEASANTRY.

SECOND SERIES.

"Traits and Stories 'of Irish Peasantry.-The whole story is one of that mirth-inspiring nature, that those who read it without hearty laughter must be either miserable or very imperturbable."—Metropolitan, edited by T. Campbell.

"There is strength, vigour-and above all-truth, in every story, in every sentence, every line he writes. The statesman ought to read such books as these; they would tell him more of the true state of the country than he has ever heard from the lips of her orators, or the despatches of the Castle Hacks.' We wish Mr. Carlton would send forth a cheap edition, that Traits and Stories' of Irish peasants might be in the hands of people as well as peers."-Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.

LEGENDS OF THE RHINE.

By T. C. GRATTAN, Esq. Author of "HIGH-WAYS AND BY-WAYS."

"We are well content to pass an hour once more with the lively and entertaining author of 'High-ways and By-ways." The hour has not yet gone by, and we have not completed the perusal of the two volumes; but the tales we have observed are worthy the repute in which the writer is held, and are even of a higher order-more chaste in language and perfect in style."-Boston Traveller.

"Messrs. Carey and Hart have just issued 'Legends of the Rhine,' by the author of High-ways and By-ways.' To those who recollect Mr. Grattan's former writings, (and who among novel readers does not ?) it is only necessary to say, that the present Legends' are, in no respect, inferior to their predecessors. The traditions which he has here wrought into shape are all said to have an existence among the dwellers near the mighty river; and it is certain they are full of romantic interest. The Legends' are twelve in number, and, though not equal in all respects, there is no one of them that does not possess a strong claim to admiration."—Saturday Courier.

"Few sets of stories, published within the last ten years, have been more popular than those called High-ways and By-ways. The author of these, after having produced two or three successful works of a different sort, has given us two volumes of tales, with the title Legends of the Rhine,' which are to be published to-morrow, we understand, by Carey and Hart. The author professes, seriously, to have founded his narratives on traditions yet extant among those who live near the banks of the great German river; and many of them end so tragically that we can hardly suspect the writer of having invented them for his own amusement or that of his readers. They are all interesting, though not all skilfully framed; and each of them contains pages that may be placed in a competition with the most shining passages of any other living novel writer.

TRAVELS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF PERU;

INCLUDING A YEAR'S RESIDENCE IN POTOSI.

By EDMUND TEMPLE, Kt. of the Royal and distinguished Order of CHARLES III.

"These travels in Peru will long maintain their reputation for the ac. curacy of detail, the spirit of the style, and the utility of the information they contain. The professional matter is very valuable."-Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.

"There is much to instruct, and a great deal to amuse. Amid the details of personal adventures, there is a great deal of shrewd and strong observation."-London Monthly Magazine.

"We have met with no volumes of travels in that country with which, upon the whole, we have been so much pleased as the one before us."Baltimore Gazette.

"This is an instructive and entertaining work."-National Gazette. "This book is one of the most entertaining that has been issued from the press for some time."-Pennsylvania Inquirer.

SYDENHAM;

OR, MEMOIRS OF A MAN OF THE WORLD. "A new novel of fashionable life, under the title of Sydenham, or Memoirs of a Man of the World,' will shortly be given to the public. It exhibits the history of a young man of rank and fortune, who, being of a decidedly satirical turn, resolves to gratify his favourite penchant to ascertain the internal state of fashionable society, and minutely to observe human nature under every variety of shade and circumstance. Among other characters with whom he comes in contact, is the celebrated BRUMMEL, who figures under the name of Beaumont: this gentleman arrests his peculiar attention, and serves him for a complete study. The work, is, moreover, illustrative of those sets or circles in the world of ton which have never been depicted in the pages of fiction, and respecting which so much curiosity has long been felt."-New Monthly Magazine.

"Each of these volumes is in fact a separate work-each in a different style and spirit-each aspiring to a different fame in composition. 'Sy. denham' is a capital work, which, without the trouble of puffing, must make a great stir in the upper and political circles."-London Lit. Gaz.

"Sydenham is well written, and contains much pleasant and some severe satire. The present Whig ministers in England are handled without gloves, and a number of distinguished personages occupy more conspicu. ous places than they would have been likely to choose, had the matter been referred to themselves."-Courier.

"The work before us is one of the most powerful of its class; it bears intrinsic evidence of a new writer. The portrait of Brummel, the 'arch dandy,' is excellent; and all the scenes in which he is engaged are managed with skill and tact. There is, in fact, sufficient material in this book for three or four novels."-New Monthly Magazine.

"All the personages are of course real, though under fictitious names; these pages are, in reality, memoirs of the intrigues of the times, full of keen observation, graphic sketches of character, biting sarcasm, one page of which would make the fortune of a pamphlet."-London Gazette.
