.1" There is a great deal of vivacity and humour, as well as
Athos, in these Stories, and they are told with a power of na-
tional character painting, that could have only resulted from long
residence in France, and from habits of social intimacy with the
tiumphisticJted and country part of the French community, with
whom the English traveller seldom gives himself the trouble of
gettirg acquainted."--New Monthly Magazine, April 1, 18:.'3.

This day was published,•post Svo. Ss. 6d. boards,
The Third Edition of
THE SCRAP BOOK; a Collection of amusing,
and.strikin:y Pieces, in Prose and Vert; with an Intro-
duction, and Occasional Remarks and Contributions.
By JOAN
Author of the Life of William Cowper.
" For the firesides of the numerous class of men who have
sully leisure to read by fits and starts, this is an amusing and
generally well-selected ',Miscellany. It is more original than most
of the Collections which have been compiled from time to time
of late years, and, on the whole, presents a fair mixture of the
grave and gay, selected from the ablest modern publications."
—Literary Gazette.
"This is an exceedingly entertaining and well-selected 'Mis-
cellany, and, as a travelling companion, nothing can be con-
ceived more calculated fm amusement. It contains what is
light and pleasant, as well as what is sententious and specult-
tive—short amusing Anecdotes, diversified with Poetical Ex-
tracts; so that we are sure, open the book where we will, to
meet with some entertainment, more or less substantial, as we
feel inclined. In short, this Selection may be recommended as
a model of works of this nature, and is the best literary con-
trivance that can be imagined for amusing a vacant hour."—

TO A GREAT MANUFACTURER,
IN ST. GEORGE'S-FIELDS.
ISING not of heroic ire,
A humbler willing theme I choose;
I sing of what you all admire,
I sing—and help me every Muse—
Of Turner's Dye for blacking shoes.
Its qualities unequall'd shine,
Both high and low this Blacking use,
He ranks the first in all his line.
Many indulge the fond conceit.
That rich attire will credit bring;
But far more polish'd they, and neat,
Who use the Blacking that I sing.
•
Gay as the lark in blooming spring,
The youth and maid will then appear,
Because from Turner's polis'aing,
Their boots and shoes shine bright and clear.
Most highly favour'd sure is he
Who by the shining of his boot,
Chasms the fair damsel, so that she
Coyly accepts his modest suit.
And happy the man beyond dispute
Who found this potent way to charm,
And whilst he glosses shoe or boot,
Can keep the leather free from harm.
Turner, the lustre of your art
Givea real brilliance to your name,
Though aiming not at head or heart,
Yet yours is sure a polisled fame.
Well may the master vex'd complain,
If on his shoes the lustre's lacking,
Turner—have you forgot the name ?
You know I order'd Turner's Blacking.
What wretched mixture have you brought?
Will this keep out the rain or snow?
You know it is not worth a groat,
And common sense must tell you so.
Give me the Blacking that will shine,
Though water fall and snow comes down;
But as for this, it may be thine,
'Twill suit a nucleated clown.
He walks in brightness who steps forth
With Turner's Blacking on his shoes;
Nay, stranger shall he be to mirth,
And love and beauty's smiles profuse,
Fit only for the mire or stews,
Who in fine weather plods his way,
And takes no thought or makes no use
Of Turner's splendid bright display.
In London-road the Factory stands.
'Else Exportation Warehouse seek,
But agencies are all at hand,
In every town and every creek.
Then sing of Turner all the week,
And sport his Blacking every day,
'Tis chcap and good, and truth to speak,
Turners as grateful as you're gay !
Take notice, this Blacking may be had Wholesale and Retail,
at the Exportation Warehouse, 114, London-toad, Southwark;
and by all the Grocers, Perfumers, Oilmen, apd Boot-makers
in the Metropolis, and in every Town in Fhland.
