ENGLAND UNDER SEVEN ADMINISTRATIONS.
—" This entertaining book, which abounds with sketches and
anecdotes of all the most distinguished public characters of the
last twenty years, is the production of Mr. Albany•Fonblanque
(observes the Literary Gazette), so well known as one of the
ablest political writers of the day. This new work cannot be
read, without its being immediately evident that the author is
an individual whose pen does honour to the literature of his
country. His style is eminently pointed, epigrammatic, and
penchant, and his satires on existing abuses are both able and
just. Almost every subject of interest which has engaged
public attention for the last ten years is discussed, and the re-
sult is a work which will be consulted by the politician and the
man of the world for its profound views, and the lover of
amusing literature for its wit and satire."
