ELIZABETH EVANSHAW: the Sequel
of " Truth."

" All tile relations and duties, whether of husband and
wife, child and parent, master and servant, have light
thrown upon them by the observations of a strong-minded
and original writer. There is, besides, much of a drama-
tic kind in this book : many scenes and dialogues exhibit.-
ing a play of character. and an intimate knowledge of
certain description of life. * • • These volumes abound
in matter as original, spirited, and real, as the passages
we have extraeted."—Atlas.

"This is as practically instructive and as rationally en-
tertaining a work as its predecessor. The author is evi-
dently a person of strong mind, singularly alive to the most
correct views of utility as well as to the secret workings of
the human heart,"—Newcastln Magazine.
In 2 voh. post Bvo. price 16s. boards,
HAMEL, the OBEAH MAN.

"This is an entertaining, we may say, instructive
Novel; the scene is new, and the manners are new. We
are glad that the author, wh• last year published an
amusing 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 Antilles."
—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.
In 2 vols. 12mo. 14s. hoards,
lU-KIAO-LI ; or, the TWO FAIR COUSINS.

a Independently of being a curious specimen of Chinese
novel-writing, this work has more 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 dia-
logues."—London Weekly Review.
" This is a psychological as well as a literary curiosity.
The reflecting reader will have reward enough in what he
learns respecting the manners, literature, prejudices, and
habits of thought, of a populous and remarkable nation."—.
Scotsman.

" It is with great 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 af-
forded in this work, will not he highly acceptable."—
Monthly Review.
" This is a very curious and a very interesting specimen
of Chinese literature. We are persuaded that more 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
superficial."—Literary Chronicle.
" We recommend the present volumes to our readers ;
and if any of them have an idle hour, we would honestly
counsel them to study China rather in the pages of " Two
Fair Cousins," than in the Lettres Chinoises, or the Epistles
of Fum Hoam and Lien Chi Altangi."—Scots Times.
