MR. HOW ITT'S NEW WORK.
Now ready, in 2 cols., 21s. bound,
THE HALL AND THE HAMLET.
By WILLIAM HOWITT,
Author of "Rural Life in England," &c.
" This book is full of delightful sketches and sweet and enchanting
pictures of rural life ; and we have no doubt it will be read not only
at the homestead of the farmer, but at the mansion of the squire, or
the castle of the lord, with gratification and delight. In these vo-
lumes there is more originality, more wit, more humour, more pa-
thos, than in any which have already issued from the same pen "a
Times.
