CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW WORK.

In Three Volumes, Post Octavo,

MIDSHIP MAN EASY,

By the Author of "PETER SIMPLE," "JACOB FAITHFUL," &c.

"Captain Marryat's writings depend for success on the truthfulness of the general impression they make; their broad effects and their sustained humour, the constant variety in the characters, the dialogue, and the story, carries the reader forward, and surprises him at last into admiration of the copiousness of the Author's invention, and the surprising facility with which he creates and accumulates dramatic situations." -Atlas.

II.

MADRID IN 1 8 35,

Sketches of the Metropolis of Spain and its Inhabitants, and of Society and Manners in the Peninsula.

By a RESIDENt Officer.

"This is a first-rate book of its class. It is full of life, vigour, and picturesqueness; profound as well as keen and active in observation, pointed and spirited in style. It has all those high qualities which alone give permanent value to sketches of society and manners. The result is what we should conceive to be a perfect picture of Madrid."-Examiner.

IV.

NEW SERIES OF THE OLD MEN'S TALES.

In Three Volumes, Post Octavo,

TALES OF THE WOODS AND FIELDS,

A Second Series of "THE OLD MEN'S TALES."

"The pleasure we received from the perusal of the TWO OLD MEN'S TALES,' lingers with us yet. We remember them with the same degree of interest with which we recal, in the dreariness of winter, the sunshine of summer. The first tale, the 'Country Vicarage,' ought to be circulated widely throughout every house, village, and town in England. The narrative (for there is no plot) is so simple, the results so natural, the moral so excellent and so exalted."-New Monthly.

CORRECTED TO THE DATE OF PUBLICATION,

FROM THE PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS OF THE NOBILITY,

BY EDMUND LODGE, ESQ.

NORROY KING OF ARMS, F.S.A., &c.

"This work derives great value from the high authority of Mr. Lodge. The plan is excellent; and the work is brought down to the last creation of peers."-Literary Gazette.

"A work which corrects all errors of former works. It is the production of a Herald-we had almost said, by birth, but certainly by profession and studies-Mr. Lodge, the Norroy King of Arms. It is a most useful publication."-Times.

"Mr. Lodge's Peerage must supersede all other works of the kind for two reasons— first, it is on a better plan; and secondly, it is better executed. We can safely pronounce it to be the readiest, the most useful, and exactest of modern works on the subject."-Spectator.

"The production of Edmund Lodge, Esq., Norroy King of Arms, whose splendid Biography of Illustrious Personages stands an unrivalled specimen of historical literature and magnificent illustration. Of Mr. Lodge's talents and qualifications for the task he has undertaken, we need only appeal to his former productions. It contains the exact state of the Peerage as it now exists, with all the Collateral Branches, their Children, with all the Marriages of the different individuals connected with each family.”—John Bull.

"This work should form a portion of every gentleman's library. At all times the information which it contains, derived from official sources, exclusively at the command of the author, is of importance to most classes of the community; to the antiquary it must be invaluable, for implicit reliance may be placed on its contents."-Globe.
