AHISTORY of the LIFE and VOYAGES
of CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

By WASHINGiONIRVING.

. This work will, from siVatwel;;;e;een 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
giventhe author access to public as well as private archives,
hitherto t a fountain shut up, and a book sealed.' rhe
chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the liberal
sod truly philosophical cast of thought and sentiment, are
what no one need be 'surprised with; who has read sonic
of his previous writings but .this performance is every
way a more elaborate one than any of those, and of higher
pretensions,4--pretensiotra 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 inte-'
rest,:--to write a history, where -previously therelikel.teen
only rnemoires pour servir,'—such has been our Ameri-
can countryman's proud attempt; and with unit:tingled
pleasure do we contemplate the fruit of his long and ar-
duous labours."—Literary Gazette; Feb. 2.

BY ISABELLA JANE TOWERS.
" We consider, that the Author has been eminently suc-
cessful in these attempts; and we conscientiously ream-
mend "fhe Children's Fire-Side' to the attention of parents
and guardians."—Literary Chronicle.
" The style is particularly „simple, and the incidents arc
quite within, the „comprehension of children under their
teens, while the moral is invariably goad, and calculated to
correct the errors of a juvenile,"—Atlaa.
" It is quite impossible, we should think, that any person,
no matter what their age may be, could rise from the peru-
sal of these Tales without having his heart improved, and
his veneration for truth and sincerity confirmed."—

4. PILGRIM AGE in Ella OPE and
INTORVI AMERICA ; leading to the DIS-
COVERY of the SOURCES of BLOODY RIVER and
the MISSISSIPPI: •

By J. C. BELTRAMI, Esq.
" The course of the Mississippi extends three thousand
and about two hundred miles: every foot of which has
been travelled by the Author, and the higher part of it
under circumstances of peculiar difficulty. " * Mr.
Beltrami is beyond a doubt a person of most respectable
literary attainments, and of considerable ability."--Atlas.
" It is but justice to observe, that in this work Mr. Bel-
trami has contributed very largely to the stock of important
and curious knowledge ; and it should not be forgotten,
that the offering to science is a gratuity which his own
toil, his perseverance, his contempt of danger, and his in-
difference to personal sacrifices alone enabled him to be-
stow."---:Monthly Review.
