Just published, 2 vols. post Bva., 185., THE LIFE OF JEROME CARDAN, ' of Milan, Physician. By HENRY MORLEY, Author of " Palissy the Potter," &c. " Every page carries its evidence of a laborious and honest study of the man, of a real knowledge of his writings, of a tho- rough perception of hie character in its most startling inconsis tencies. The curtain rises on those distracted and turbulent Wiliam cities of three hundred years ago, and there passes once more across the scene the vicious and extravagant student, the laborious writer of books, the popular practising physician, the astrologer, the mathematician, the gambler of dissolute habits, the philosopher of untiring study, the man at whose feet the princes of the earth seemed to be pouring out their treasures, yet the man soon after both poor and old, lying on a desolate deathbed—who were all comprised in the person of Jerome Carden Nothing can exceed the pathetic, because the simple and quite unaffected, manner iu which these incidents are related by Mr. Morley. There are few things in romance more vivid or sustained than their interest, so perfectly natural, so strikingly dramatie."—Examiser. London : CHAPMAN and HALL, 193, Piccadilly.
