THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.

This day was published, in 3 vols. post Bvo.,
OYSTON GOWER;
or, THE DAYS OF KING JOHN.

By THOMAS MILLER.
" Royston Gower' is an extraordinary book. A Romance in
the honest, old-fashioned sense of the word—one of the best works,
indeed, in the Scott school which we have read."—Athenaeum.

" Mr. Miller has produced an extraordinary work. Ho has put.
life and blood into the time of King John. Knights, Barons,
Priests, and high-born Damsels carry on the stirring plot through
Court and Camp, Judgment Scat, and conflict, intrigue and was-
-sxil—the whole is a vivid picture of a memorable period."—Literary
Gazett,e.

Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street..

This day was published, in 2 vole. Ave.,
IyARY OF THE TIMES OF GEORGE IV.,
WITH
NWMEROUS LETTERS OF QUEEN CAROLINE,
And other Royal and Distinguished Persons.
" A large portion of our readers will not fail to recollect the extra-
ordinary sensation which was produced by the mere talk, about
twent years ago, of a said-to-be-forthcoming work, entitled The
Book,' and the ultimate suppression, added to the actual possession,
of which formidable Boa,' was perfectly understood to be the
chief, if not the only, hold a certain Ministry had of office. If all
be true that is said of the work just issued, under the title of Diary
of the Times of George IV.,' little, either of good or ill, will have
been avoided by that notable suppression; for the writer of this
work has evidently the materials, and does not seem to lack the in-
clination, to furnish the world with facts and incidents capable of
setting together by the ears all the remaining denizens of that far-
famed coterie which assumed the name and of office of a ' Court'
during a great portion of the ' Times' to which it relates."
Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

CAREY'S NATIONAL HISTORIES.
NOW READY, price ss. 6d. cloth.
THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
By JOHN FROST, of Philadelphia.
All historians must have their prejudices ; and a consideration of
this fact has given rise to the proposed Series: for what is a His-
tory of France by an Englishman, but another version of the
History of England ? Has not the success of the one been the
defeat of the other ? Truth must be sought for by comparing the
respective Histories as written by the National Historians. It is
therefore proposesl to translate and publish, at such prices as will
bring them within the reach of all classes, a Series of Truly
National Histories.
The second of the Series (now in the press), will be a Translation
(tho two volumes in one) of
BONNECHOSE'S HISTORY OF FRANCE;
To be followed by
A HISTORY OF GERMANY,
And others in due course.
C. Tilt, London.
