MAJOR STRICKLAND'S
TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS IN CANADA.
Edited by
MISS AGNES STRICKLAND,
Author of " The Queen's of England.

" A book of considerable interest. It stands alone in the compari-
son of the present with the past, and the continuous picture it offers
of an individual settler's varied career. Reality, freshness, informa-
tion, and thatßoblnson Crusoe character which arises from seeing
the rilderness roughly reclaimed, give attraction to the book The
practical hints it contains will be found useful to intending emi-
grants."—Spectator.
Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.

MISS WORMELEY'S NOVEL.
Just Published, and may be had at all the Libraries.
AM.A.BEL ; or, THE VICTORY OF LOVE,
By MARY ELIZABETH WORMELEY.

In Three Volumes.

" This fiction displays ability of its kind. Miss Wormeley has
knowledge of society and much skill in depicting its persons and
salient features, with the penetration to pierce below the surface.
The characters are wel conceived and sustained; many parts pos-
sess considerable and rapid interest, and the composition is buoyant
and animated."—" Spectator."
"This story embodies fourgreat phases of a woman's life, of which
love is the active element. It is remarkable for the intensity of the
sentiment it embodies, for vigorous and polished diction, great range
of scene and character, and the originality and energy of the princi-
pal persons; who are drawn by a master hand."—" Weekly Dis-
patch."
" An exceedingly interesting story, related in a style at once sim-
ple, polished, and eloquent. To enforce the moral that love, not the
passion but the principle, infused into our duties, works its own re-
ward, is the purpose of this pathetic and deeply affecting tale, and
that moral is beautifully exemplified throughout the chequered career
of the heroine."—" Globe."

and communications through or over the Isthmus of Darien.

No subscriber, signing the subscribers' agreement, will be liable
beyond the deposit of 10s. The holder of each scrip certificate will
be entitled to a share in the Company when completely formed. But
all shares, the scrip certificates for which stall not be produced for
registration within a month after the publication in two daily
London newspapers of the•resolutions of a General Meeting to pro-
ceed with the undertaking, will be absolutely forfeited.
The outlay on the undertaking being dependent on the mode of
construction, and the returns contingent on the outlay, and these
measures being the necessary subject of mature investigation and
deliberation with the Governments interested in the undertaking, it
would be premature, at the present moment, to state more than that
it is not proposed to enter upon the execution of the works until ar-
rangements have been made to ensure a satisfactory return for the
capital expended.
Applications for shares may be be addressed to the Directors, ac-
cording to the subjoined form ; and prospectuses and forms of letters
of application may be had at the Company's offices, and of Mr. Ed-
ward Haslewood, 15, Angel-court, London.
