JAWRIE TODD ; or the SETTLERS
in the WOODS

By JOHN GAI.T, Esq.

Asithor of " Th• Annals of the Parish," " The Ayrshire

Legatees," &e.

" Lawrie Todd is the auto-biography of a Scotchman
who has been sometime in the State of New-York. Be-
sides the peculiarities of his own character it will afford, we
understand, views of society and of scenes new in a great
measure to literature, particularly in the descriptions of the
foundation and rise of an American settlement, with the
moral effect of its progress on the dispositions of the different
persons who occupy the foreground of the pictures. In
this respect the work will have special claims to attention :
perhaps no other writer has had equal opportunities of ac-
quiring exact knowledge of operations so primitive and eu'-
rious."—Morning Paper.

-14 ECORDS of CAPTAIN CLAPPER
A-L TON'S LAST EXPEDITION to AFRICA.

By RICHARD LANDER,
His hithful Attendant, and only surviving Member o.

that Expedition.
" Richard Lander, the assiduous and enterprising young
man whose services were so highly ♦alued by the late
Captain Clapperton, and who, in Africa, performed the
last Christian offices for that lamented Traveller, has,
under the auspices of Government, again quitted his
native land for the scenes of his late perilous labours.
Ile has, however, left behind him a memorial of those
scenes and of those labours in two volumes just published,
under the name of Records of Captain Clapperton's last
Expedition to Africa,' which are replete with intelligent
remarks on the strange habits of the interior African
tribes, and offer, besides, the particular charm of various
episodes, simply, humourously, or feelingly narrated, in
tl e incidents of which the author himself was an actor,
and which exhibit collectively a picture of real lire, under
a form as novel as its locality is remote and siugalar."--
