THE ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE: BY DANIEL DE FOE.-- Embellished with Three Hundred Engravings, after designs by J. J. GRANDVILLE. The most extensively illustrated and complete edition of this work yet published.

_Demy 8vo. cloth, gilt back, (508 pp.) price 7s._

"A book from which the most luxuriant and fertile of our modern prose writers have drunk inspiration--a book, moreover, to which from the hardy deeds which it narrates, and the spirit of strange and romantic enterprise which it tends to awaken, England owes many of her astonishing discoveries both by sea and land, and no inconsiderable part of her naval glory.

"Hail to thee, spirit of De Foe! What does not my own poor self owe to thee? England has better bards than either Greece or Rome, yet I could spare them easier far than De Foe, 'unabashed De Foe,' as the hunchbacked rhymer styled him."--_George Barrow._

"The most romantic of books; the text and wood-cuts in this edition are exceedingly beautiful."--_Morning Advertiser._

"Robinson Crusoe is eagerly read by young people; and there is hardly a child so devoid of imagination as not to have supposed for himself a solitary island, in which he could act 'Robinson Crusoe,' were it but in a corner of the nursery. Neither does a re-perusal, at a more advanced age, diminish early impressions. The situation is such as every man may make his own. It has the merit, too, of that species of accurate painting which can be looked at again and again with new pleasure."--_Sir Walter Scott._

"Oh! the delight with which we first devoured the pages of Crusoe; and oh! how that delight would have been enhanced had we at that day possessed the illustrated book before us! The plates are from engravings on Wood, and are extremely well executed."--_Britannia._

"The paper and type are of the first quality, and the numerous woodcuts are admirable."--_Era._

"How happy that this, the most moral of romances, is not only the most charming of books, but the most instructive."--_A. Chalmers._

"No fiction in any language was ever better supported than these Adventures of Robinson Crusoe."--_Dr. Blair._

_Demy 8vo. cloth, gilt back, (252 pp.) price 5s._

"This tale is the lasting monument of Goldsmith's genius, his great legacy of pleasure to generations past, present, and to come."--_Examiner._

"If such a work be charming in its simplicity, how much more so must it be when it comes to us in so gay a dress as the present--when the simple-hearted vicar actually stands before us; when every scene, and nearly every character is engraved to the physical vision, and all that is most delightful in the language, is rendered still more delightfully visible to the eye. There is to us an added pleasure in every page; and if it be not a new book, at least we read it with a new zest, and feel that there is an additional charm added to him who was

'In wit, a man--simplicity, a child!'"--_Court Journal._

"It is Asmodeus who speaks, and the judicious reader will find strokes of the crutches, which he may improve to his advantage and edification."--_Old Preface._

HISTORY OF AMERICA;--From its discovery by the Northmen to the present time; by JOHN FROST, A.M. Embellished with numerous Engravings; which consist of highly-finished Woodcuts, illustrating the most important and striking events in the annals of that nation, and so numerous as to enable the reader to follow the course of events by simply turning over the leaves, and passing from incident to incident, and from character to character, exciting in the young and uninstructed an earnest desire to read the connecting narrative; with a portrait of the author.

_Demy 8vo. cloth, gilt back, (738 pp.) price 8s._

"This handsome volume, interspersed with numerous beautiful wood-engravings, contains the history of America from the discovery by the Northmen, in the tenth century, to the present time. We sincerely hope that the work will obtain, as it deserves, a large circulation; and we recommend it to our readers, with confidence in its utility and value."--_Weekly Dispatch._

"The History of America, from the date of its discovery by Europeans until the present time, is a subject of deep interest to all who attach any value to an acquaintance with the origin, rise, and progress of great nations. The issue of such a work is, moreover, particularly well-timed."--_Weekly Dispatch. (2nd Notice.)_

"As Englishmen, we shall always remember the Americans of the United States are our brethren, and that every triumph achieved by them, if achieved in a good cause, we, to some extent, share the glory of. The two nations are united by ties of blood, and the past history, present state, and the future progress of each must be interesting to the other."--_Northern Star._

VALENTINE VOX, THE VENTRILOQUIST;--BY HENRY COCKTON, Esq. Embellished with Sixty richly humourous Engravings on steel, by S. ONWHYN.

_Demy 8vo. cloth, gilt back, (640 pp.) price 10s._

This is one of the most amusing and deeply interesting publications of the day. The power of an accomplished Ventriloquist is well known to be unlimited. There is no scene in life in which that power is incapable of being developed; it gives its possessors an absolute command over the actions, the feelings, and the passions of men; while its efficacy in loading with ridicule every prejudice and every project whose tendency is pernicious, cannot fail to be perceived at a glance. The design of this work, although essentially humorous, is not, however, to excite peals of laughter alone: it has a far higher object in view, namely, that of removing the most prominent of our social absurdities and abuses, by means the most peculiarly attractive and pleasing.

"A very humorous and amusing little work, detailing the life of a Ventriloquist. It abounds in droll scenes, which will keep the most melancholy reader in a side-aching fit of laughter as long as he has the book in his hands."--_Times._

"This is a clever Bozian work, very smartly and shrewdly written. The illustrations, by ONWHYN, are original, and facetious."--_Court Journal._

"A racy production of the class which Mr. Dickens has rendered so popular. Valentine, the hero, is a youth, who having witnessed the performance of a Ventriloquist, finds, after much practice, that he can himself accomplish the feat. It is scarcely necessary to mention the lots of fun of which this may be made the foundation."--_Weekly True Sun._

STRUGGLES AND ADVENTURES OF CHRISTOPHER TADPOLE, AT HOME AND ABROAD.--By ALBERT SMITH, author of the "Adventures of Mr. Ledbury," "The Overland Mail," "The Fortunes of the Scattergood Family," &c, &c. Illustrated by JOHN LEECH. _In Demy 8vo., cloth, gilt back, price 8s._

"The real strength of the author is in description. There is often a minute fidelity in his pictures which render them extremely graphic. He, like Mr. Dickens, is always in the streets of London, or any other venerable city."--_Atlas._

"A very entertaining tale; distinguished by great smartness of style, peculiar happiness in description, and an amusing variety and contrast of character."--_Morning Advertiser._

"Dickens and Albert Smith so assimilate in style, and their vigorous powers of conception are so great, that it would be a very difficult task for the nicest critic to award a preference as to their merits. Let it be said, therefore, that they are stars of great magnitude, shining with equal brilliancy."--_Cambridge Independent Press._

"Abounding with sketches of life and character true to nature, and with that broad caricature which those who are familiar with the literary productions of this author must have so fully appreciated. But Mr. Smith not only deals in burlesque; he can be grave as well as gay, and has made himself acquainted with the workings of the human heart, as well as the surface peculiarities of human character, which bids fair to raise him to the same literary eminence as his contemporary Dickens. He dashes on with unflagging spirit and good-humoured satire. For vigour he has never been surpassed by any writer of the same school."--_Nottingham Review._

PICKWICK ABROAD;--By G. W. M. REYNOLDS, ESQ., author of the "Mysteries of London," "Robert Macaire in England," &c. &c. Embellished with steel Engravings designed by ALFRED CROWQUILL and JOHN PHILLIPS, and numerous woodcuts by BONNER.

_Demy 8vo. cloth, gilt back, (628 pp.) price 8s._

"'Pickwick Abroad' is so well done by G. W. M. Reynolds, that we must warn "Boz" to look to his laurels."--_Age._

"'Pickwick Abroad' is an admirable continuation of Boz's famous 'Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club,'and promises to become equally popular. The characters are sustained with great spirit and fidelity; and the scenes and incidents are varied and full of life."--_Glasgow Courier._

"Monsieur G. W. M. Reynolds fait voyager en France M. Pickwick, au grand amusement de ses lecteurs. Dans cet ouvrage de M. Reynolds on remarque avec plaisir que l'auteur tente a accroitre les sympathies de l'Angleterre pour la France,"--_Revue Britannique_, (a French Magazine.)

"'Pickwick Abroad' is presented to us with undiminished spirit; and the variety of character and incident afforded by the sojourn of the Pickwickians at Paris keeps our attention on a perpetual _qui vive_."--_Weekly Chronicle._

ALFRED; OR, THE ADVENTURES OF A FRENCH GENTLEMAN;--By G. W. M. REYNOLDS, ESQ., author of "Pickwick Abroad," the "Mysteries of London," &c. With Fourteen Steel Engravings.
