" THE LIFE AND REIGN OF CHARLES I."
By J. DISIa ELI:
Edited by his Son, B. DISRAELI, M.P.
IS NOW READY, in 2 vols. Bvo., price 28s. bound.
"By far the most important work upon the- important age of
Charles I. that modern times have produced."—Quarterly Review.
Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

Lll the Libraries, in 2 vols., post Bvo.,
A NOVEL. D.
" The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
-matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
acterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
uerses, and Smythes."—Observer.

1" Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written In pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one- of the most interesting and en
gaEtg Rovers which the present season has projuced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicnons parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.
