MRS. AUSTIN'S TRANSLATIONS FROM THE GERMAN. Unique Present for Youth.-Appropriately embellished and bound with 17 Wood Engravings in the first style of the Art, from the pencil of Harvey. Price 5s.

I. THE STORY WITHOUT AN END.

From the German of F. W. CAROVE.

"This is a gem! All that is sweet, serious, and solemn in childhood and its dawning conceptions finds a portraiture in the wanderings of a little child among the productions of nature. He is described as making his first acquaintance with the most attractive and striking objects: he discourses with flowers, insects, birds, reptiles, &c., and hears from their own mouths an account of their several histories, feelings, and avocations. The language is exquisitely poetical, and full of infantine simplicity. The vignettes are executed with great delicacy and spirit.”— Examiner.

II. CHARACTERISTICS OF GOETHE.

In 3 volumes, post 8vo, price 30s.

From the German of Falk, Von Müller, &c. With Notes, Original and Translated, illustrative of German Literature.

"We are indebted to the pen of Mrs. Austin for one of the most elegant and complete translations which ever enriched the stores of the English language. One of the most singular and charming books to a meditative mind that the age has produced."-New Monthly Magazine.

III. TOUR OF A GERMAN PRINCE.

In 4 vols., post 8vo, with a Portrait, price 39s.,

TOUR IN GERMANY, HOLLAND, ENGLAND, WALES, IRELAND, AND FRANCE.

"The Tour of a German Prince' is now universally allowed to be the most amusing and delightful book of travels that has issued from the press of any nation; containing vivid delineations of the beautiful scenery of our sea-begirt island and as a piquant, but, withal, good-natured record of the vices and follies of exclusive society in this country, the 'Tour of a German Prince' has no equal." -Morning Chronicle.

MRS. AUSTIN'S BIBLE SELECTIONS.

In one vol., 12mo, neatly bound, with a Frontispiece from Flaxman, engraved by Moses, price 5s.,

SELECTIONS from the OLD TESTAMENT; or, the Religion, Morality, and Poetry of the Hebrew Scriptures, arranged under heads.

BY SARAH AUSTIN.

My sole object has been to put together all that presented itself to my own heart and mind as most persuasive, consolatory, or elevating, in such a form and; order as to be easy of reference, conveniently arranged and divided, and freed from matter either hard to be understood, unattractive, or unprofitable (to say the least) for young and pure eyes."-Preface.

"This selection is executed with judgement and taste. Religious parents will esteem themselves happy in having such a reading-book to put into the hands of their children; and if they themselves have not so familiarly used the Bible that they cannot instantly lay their finger on the precise passage in accordance with their wants or feelings, they themselves will be glad of so pleasant and so in structive a guide as these Selections. It may be called without profanation, the Beauties of the Bible: we may add, that no work under that title ever presented its extracts with less appearance of being fractured, or torn up violently from the parent mass."-Spectator,
