986 IT H E PRESs. I [SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1855. The Roving Englishman's New Work. Price be., cloth lettered, EMBASSIES AND FOREIGN COURTS. A History of Diplomacy. By THE ROVING ENGLISH MAN. The Roving Englishman' is a satirical chronicler. His style is not less lively than severe, not subtle enough for irony, but caustic, free, and full of earnest meaning. The salt of the book is to be found in the keen allusions which cluster around every anecdote, the light struck from ancient and modern in stances to illustrate the events of our own times, and the ridi cule bestowed on mediteval feelings and manners. Beyond this, the volume is an admirable manual, skilfully adapted to the purpose of diffusing a general knowledge of history and the working of diplomacy."—The Athenaeum, Sept. 22, 1865.

TWENTY FIVE TRACTS SENT FREE ON RECEIPT OF TWENTY POSTAGE STAMPS. *Jr The Periodical Press of this country, with some few honourable exceptions, instead of instructing and regulating the public mind on the subject of the war, seeks to aggravate the prevalent excitement. The Tracts for the Present Crisis consist of short Commentaries on passing Events, Remarks on Conten porary Writings, and trains of thought calculated, it is hoped, to draw the attention of Englishmen to the evils prevailing at their own doors, instead of directing their efforts to the affairs of distant States. In particular, the writer contests the justice or the wisdom of that policy which, now that the honour of England is vindi cated and her interests effectually secured, would nevertheless involve us in a prolonged and savage warfare with a nation whose alliance may one day prove as needful to us as it was in the year 1812, when Russia diverted and dispelled the storm which would otherwise have fallen on our own heads. The following Tracts have been already published : No. 15.—How to Raise Able. Bodied Recruits for the Army and Navy 16.—French or Russian Despotism? which will you have ? 17.—Rubble Wanted Here 18.—The Fall of Sebastopol, or the Impediment to Peace Removed 19.—What are we Fighting For ? 20.—" Look upon this Picture, and on that." 21.—More Fancy Portraits, or a Bird'a.eye View of Parliament 22.—A Prize for the King of Sardinia's Good Behaviour 23.—Work fur the Legislature : Master and Servant Law 24.—The Exploded Bugbear 25.—Reappearance of the Boy Jones.
