SIR. AINSWORTH'S NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
In 3 eels. post Bvo., illustrated with Twenty large Designs on
Steel, by Franklin,
OLD SAINT PAUL'S:
A TALE of the PLAGUE and the FIRE.

By W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, Esq.
IS NOW READY.

"We prefer the two first volumes of Old Saint Paul's' to
any previous work of their author. Treated as a Tale of ad-
venture these volumes have great merit. The reader who has
once opened them will hardly be disposed to lay them down
again. "_.Athenaeum.

We are glad to meet Mr. Ainsworth again in the region
of historical romance, a department of literature in which he
has distinguished himself above almost every author of
the day. A better subject than that which he has chosen for
his present volumes could not have been selected. Many pas-
sages remind us of the simple pathos and truthfulness of De-
foe."—Observer.

MISS BURNEY'S DIARY.

Preparing for publication, uniformly with the Life of Sir
Walter Scott, in llonthly Volumes, the first of which will
appear January 1.
111-1 E DIARY AND LETTERS OF
IVADAME D'ARBLAY,
Author of " Evelina," " Cecilia," &c., &c.
Edited by HER NIECE.
" To have some account of my thoughts, actions, and ac-
quaintance ,when the hour arrives when time is more nimble
than memory, is the reason which induces me to keep a Jour-
nal—a Journal in which I shall confess every thought—shall
open my whole heart."

Such-is the opening passage of Miss Burney's Diary. When
we call to mind the person who formed this resolution and ad-
hered to it during the whole of her long life, was one of the
most remarkable and justly celebrated women, not merely of
her own, but of any time or country—that her family position,
no less than her celebrity, commanded for her an intimate
intercourse with all who were illustrious in English Literature
and Art during their most illustrious era, the curiosity and
interest this work must excite, can scarcely he increased.
Yet it ought to be stated that shortly after the publication
of her second work " Cecilia," Miss Burney was spontaneously
offered by Queen Charlotte a situation about her Majesty's
person which brought her into daily intercourse with every in-
dividual forming the Court of George the Third. Durin.'
this remarkable period of her life, Miss Burney never omitted,
before she retired to rest, to record in her journal the events and
conversations of the past day; and this Private History of the
Court of George the Third during the period in question, will
form part of the work now announced.

The Correspondence, which will form another portion of this
Dublication, and will take its place chronologically with the
iary, will include, besides a large numbr of Madame
D'Arhlay's own Letters, a selection from those addressed to her
by the various distinguished literary and other persons with
whom she was intimate.
