HAMEL, the QBEAH MAN. ,In 2 vols.
post Svo. price 16s. in boards.•
This is an entertaining, we may say, instructive,
novel ; the scene is new, anti the manners are new. We
5M glad that the author, who last year published an amus-
ing Tour in Jamaica, has selected that island for his scene.
He is a man of observation and talent, and has moreover a
turn for humour."—Westminster Review,
" No writer has described so well as the author of Hamel,
the manners and the climate of the country of the Antil-
les."---London Magazine.
" This is a work of considerable power. The concep-
tions are vigorous ; the incidents are striking ; the manners
new."—Scotsman.

" The descriptions of scenery are alive and striking; the
portraits of character are true and vigorous ; the sketches
of manners lively and instructive. Many of the situations
are well conceived, and produce a deep interest in the reader,
•while the effect of the whole is heightened by the novelty
of the subject. The author is on entirely new ground,
and, let us add, ground which abounds in objects of great
and powerful interest."—Atlas.

" Independently of being a curious specimen of Chinese
novel-writing, this work has snore than ordinary intrinsic
merit. It is a highly interesting story, well told ; it is
full of pure sentiment—of genuine, if not powerful passion
—of amusing adventures—of lively, laughable, and varied
dialogues."—London Weekly Review.
" It is with grsat pleasure that we see the literature of
our country enriched by an English version of this novel.
We do not know' the class of English readers to whom so
complete an acquaintance with Chinese manners, as is
afforded in this work, will not be highly acceptable."--
Monthly Review.
" This is a very curious and a very interesting specimen
of Chinese Literature. We are persuaded that snore real
knowledge, both of the manners and literature of the Chinese,
may be acquired from such sources, than from the reports
of travellers, which are necessarily confined and super-
ficial."—Literary Chronicle.

TRUTH ; a Novel. By the Author of NOTHING.
In 8 vols. royal 12ino, 245. in boards.
" To all who are interested in the grand subject of re-
ligious education, in the nature of the human mind, and in
the process of the formation of opinions, this work will be a
source of deep interest, and the topic of lasting considera-
tion. Like the author of Tremaine, the writer has con-
siderable power of drawing character, and represents scenes
of interest and humour with a very striking pen. Accurate
and lively pictures of manners, conversation of spirit and
life, delineations of the finer shades of character ;—there is
enough of all this in these three volumes to make them ac•
ceptable to the common reader."—Atlas.

ELIZABETH EVANSHAW ; the Sequel of " Truth."
In 3 vols. royal I 2ino., price 245. in boards.
" " This is a work of great talent; and, coming from a
shrewd and observant mind, has in a very high degree the
quality of rousing and sharpening the intellect of its readers."
—Scotsman.
" The excellence of this work consists in the author's
deep insight into the labyrinths of the heart and mind ; in
his knowledge of society; in his keen observations of con-
duct; and in his accurate representations of familiar and
domestic scenes. His characters are well drawn; and he
is often extremely successful in the pathetie.”...plorning
