OUR VILLAGE; Sketches of Rural Character and Scenery. By Mary Russel Mitford, Author of “Julian,” a Tragedy. Second Edition. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d. boards.
“This is an engaging volume, full of feeling, spirit, and vivacity; and the descriptions of rural scenery and rural life are vivid and glowing.”—New Monthly Mag.
“These ‘Sketches,’ we are of opinion, will, ere long, be extremely popular; for they are highly-finished ones, and evince infinite taste, judgment, and feeling. They are somewhat in the manner of Geoffrey Crayon; but, to our liking, are far more interesting.”—Examiner.

BEAUTIES of the DULWICH PICTURE GALLEY. In 12mo. price 3s. boards.
“A very useful and interesting little work has just appeared, entitled, ‘Beauties of the Dulwich Picture Gallery.’ The object of the book is to increase the pleasure of the visitor to Dulwich, by pointing out the characteristic excellencies of most of the celebrated works of art which adorn the Gallery. The work before us will be found a pleasant companion to the Gallery, since it is so well calculated to shorten the road to its beauties. The Author has selected a number of the principal pictures, and has so classed them in his pages as to render his remarks, which are very sensibly put, highly pleasing and instructive to the general observer.”—Courier.
SCENES and THOUGHTS. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d. boards.
“The Scenes in this volume are highly descriptive, and the Thoughts are sensible and correct. The Author, throughout, displays a most amiable feeling, and is an eloquent advocate in the cause of morality. The articles are on well-selected subjects, and are altogether of a domestic nature.”—Literary Chron.
HIGH-WAYS and BY-WAYS; or, Tales of the Road Side, picked up in the French Provinces, by a Walking Gentleman. Fourth Edition. In 2 vols. post 8vo. price 14s. boards.
“There is a great deal of vivacity and humour, as well as pathos, in these Stories; and they are told with a power of national character-painting, that could have only resulted from long residence in France, and from habits of social intimacy with the unsophisticated and country-part of the French community, with whom the English traveller seldom gives himself the trouble of getting acquainted.”—New Monthly Mag.
The LUCUBRATIONS of HUMPHREY RAVELIN, Esq. late Major in the * * * Regiment of Infantry. 2d Edition. Post 8vo. 8s. boards.
“The author’s remarks exhibit the frankness, acuteness, ease, and good-feeling, which we are proud to think, and pleased to say, so often belong to the character of the experienced British officer; while they are so well conveyed, and, in fact, with such particular correctness, that not only few military men have the opportunity of forming and maturing so good a style, but many of the practised writers must fall into the rear in competition with Major Ravelin, who must stand muster with Geoffry Crayon.”—Monthly Rev.
