AHISTORY of the LIFE and VOYAGES
of CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.
13y WAMINGTO:N
" This work will, froth What we have seen of it, give
Mr. Washington Irving a prodigious increase of fame.
The novelty of fact exhibited will command wonder,—
only to be explained by the circumstances which have
given the author access to public as well as private archives,
hitherto • a fountain shut up, and a book sealed.' The
chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the liberal
and truly philosophical cat of thought and sentiment, are
what no one need ba surprised with, who has read some
of bit previous writings : but this performance is every
way a wore elaborate one than any of those, and of higher
pretensions,—pretensions which we have no doubt the
world will pronounce to be justified in the result. To
throw an air of total novelty on a theme of ancient ink-
rest,—to write a history, where pretiottslythere had been
only memoires pour aavir,'—such has been our Ameri-
can countryman's proud attempt; and with unmingled
pleasure do we contemplate the fruit of his long and ar-
duous labom.s."—Literary Gazette, Feb. 2.
Printed for John Murray, Albemarle-street.

By T. I. GRAHAM, M.D., &c.
" We conscientiously recommend Dr. Graham's Treatise
to the Public, and feel much pleasure in the certainty that
it. will prove extensively useful. It is certainly very far
above the celebrated Buchan's, and we shall preserve the
volume, as the advice of an invaluable friend, to which we
can refer in the hour of need, without any doubt of being
benefited by its wisdom."—Literary Chronicle.
" In the opinion of a respectable Physician, well known
in our connexion, it is not only incomparably superior to
Buchan's, but also to every similar work in our language."
_Wesleyan Magazine.
" It will be found a very valuable acquisition to the
Family Library, and no Medicine Chest, at home or abroad,
ought to he considered complete 'without it."—Imperial
Magazine.
