OF

THE HISTORY OF EUROPE,

FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION TO THE
BATTLE OF WATERLOO.

BY ARCHIBALD ALISON, ESQ., F.R.S.E.

This Edition has been carefully revised and corrected: great additions have been made, drawn from original sources, referring especially to the internal history of the Revolution; biographical notices of all the leading characters; and a new chapter introduced on the South American Revolution.

ALISON'S HISTORY OF EUROPE-Continued.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

Preface to the German Translation of D. Ludwig Meyer, Published by Otto Wigand. Leipsic, 1842.

"Alison's History of Europe, and the States connected with it, is one of the most important works which literature has produced. Years have elapsed since any historical work has created such an epoch as that of Alison; his sources of information and authorities are of the richest and most comprehensive description. Though his opinions are on the Con. servative side, he allows every party to speak for itself, and unfolds with a master's hand how few institutions make nations great, and mighty, and prosperous. In common with the whole civilized world, he does homage to the blessed Scriptures and an enlightened religion. Such a work and such a man belong to no party or country; they are the patrimony of all the friends of mankind in every part of the world, for they contend only for the clearest interests of the human race."

Preface to the French Translation of M. Paquis. "The work of Alison is indispensable to all who are forming collections on the History of Europe during the Revolution. It is the completion of them all."

North American Review.

"After a full examination, we do not hesitate to say that this is the most complete and honest history of the French Revolution which has as yet appeared, either in England or France. Certainly, no work by a British pen deserves to be compared with it; and we think every reader will accord it the preference, in point of fulness and impartiality, over the early narratives of the French Royalists, Bertrand de Molleville, Lacretelle, and others, and the more recent and popular works of Mignet and Thiers."

Edinburgh Review.

"A valuable addition to European literature: it is evidently compiled with the utmost care, and its narration, so far as we can judge, is not perverted by the slightest partiality."

Blackwood's Magazine.

"We congratulate the country on the possession of one of the noblest offerings which our age has laid upon the altar of historic literature."

Times.

"To give an idea of Mr Alison's qualifications, it may be briefly observed, that he combines the minutest attention to detail, the utmost carefulness in authenticating facts, with the greatest facility in deducing principles and laying them before the reader."

The Poems and Ballads of Schiller,

Translated by Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTTON, Bart., with a BRIEF SKETCH OF SCHILLER'S LIFE. In Two Vols. crown 8vo, price One Guinea.

"The translations are executed with consummate ability. The technical difficulties attending a task so great and intricate, have been mastered or eluded with a power and patience quite extraordinary; and the public is put in possession of perhaps the best translation of a foreign poet which exists in our language. Indeed we know of none so complete and so faithful."-Morning Chronicle.

"The work of one poet who has perfectly seized the meaning of another poet."--Times.

"A translation of Schiller which not only far surpasses all existing attempts in our language, but which finely reflects the spirit of the original, in its poetic fire and strength of expression."-Britannia.

"No richer gift could be made to any language than a fair and worthy version of such masterpieces of the German tongue. It is the task undertaken in the work before us, and we think with a rare success."-Examiner.

Domestic Verses. By Delta.

In One Vol. foolscap 8vo, price 5s., bound in cloth.

"The poems refer chiefly to the deaths of three beloved children, &c. &c. The sad and solemn beauty of several of them, indeed, speaks with even painful force to the heart; the very form of verse adopted in some, as for example in the case of the 'Ode to Casa Wappy,' is so mournfully attuned, that the production cannot be read without tears. This little work, altogether, will be felt as a rich boon and treat to the feeling heart."-Scotsman.

By B. SIMMONS. In foolscap 8vo, price 7s. 6d., cloth.

"To the lovers of short, graceful, and pleasing effusions such as please the fancy, excite the imagination, and at the same time are not without a good effect on the heart and understanding, we recommend this volume with confidence."-Liverpool Albion.

Solitary Hours.

By the same Author,

In foolscap 8vo. A New Edition. Price 5s.

"Those sweet poems in the little volume of Solitary Hours, which for truth and depth of feeling, and for tenderness and holiness of thought, are among the most beautiful that have been produced in this generation."-Quarterly Review.

By the same Author,

The Birthday and Other Poems.

In foolscap 8vo, price 7s.

"We do not remember any recent author whose poetry is so unmixedly native; and this English complexion constitutes one of its characteristic charms. No purer models of our genuine home feeling and language could be placed in a young foreigner's hands than Mrs Southey's Works. Moreover her versification, especially in her two later volumes, is not only generally correct, but, in several instances, of very great beauty and perfection. In her latest poem, 'The Birthday, she has attained to a still higher excellence of style."— Quarterly Review.

Poems by the Lady Flora Hastings.

With a Portrait by K. M'LEAY, R.S.A., Engraved in Line by Horsburgh. Second Edition, beautifully printed in foolscap 8vo, price 7s. 6d. A few copies remain of the Large Edition, which, with Proof Impressions of the Portrait, may be had at 15s.

"All lovers of that purer poetry which catches half its grace from heaven, will seek for records of its pious beauty upon the gentle pages of this graceful book. We have but glanced at the poems, and gathered only snatches of the beauties which we are prepared to meet on deeper and closer perusal, and of which our readers shall receive their share."-Morning Post.
