Tu.ckrRAY D. Appleton & CO., y Work.
This volume, by this very popular author, is
,uclvded in Appleton's Library Of the best authors
In its peculiar line the aYellowpldsh Papers"have
never been surpassed. The character is well pre-
served, and unique as the spelling, which shows

combination of letters. 1t is impossible to resist
the infelicities of Mr.. Y%ellowplush. His humour,
too. is a nretty serious test of the ways of the world,
and nrofit as well as amusement may be got from
his Epistles, ~justifying the remark OF an English
critic. that Notwithstanding the bad spelling and
n,,stard-coloured uncomfortable of Mr.. Yellow
plush, he is fifty times more of q gentleman than
most of his masters"
The Maiden and Married Life
Of Mary Po,ceH, afterwards Mrs. Milton: D.. Ap-
pleton & Co, New York.
This is also a portion of the Appleton Library.
The main interest of this work is derived from the
fact that the authoress was the wife of the author
of "Paradise Lost" 1t is written in the style of a
diary and in the old English Of 1850. 1t speaks
ofthe religious and political troubles ofthose times,
and gives probably a correct view of the character
of Milton, and many biographical incidents not
hitherto made public. H.' 2
