DOCTOR (THE), &c.

5vols. post 8vo. £2. 12s. 6d. cloth.

"Admirably as the mystery of the Doctor' has been preserved up to the present moment, there is no longer any reason for affecting secresy on the subject. The author is Robert Southey: he acknowledged the fact shortly before his last illness to his most confidential friend, an M.P. of high character. In a private letter from Mrs. Southey, dated February 27, 1843, she not only states the fact, but adds that the greater part of a sixth volume had gone through the press, and that Southey looked forward to the pleasure of drawing her into it as a contributor; giving her full authority to affirm that her husband is the author."-ROBERT BELL, ESQ. in THE STORY TELLER, No. 1.

HOWITT (MARY). THE HOME.

Or, Family Cares and Family Joys. By FREDERIKA BRemer.
HOWITT. 2d Edition, 2 vols. post 8vo. 21s. boards.

Translated by MARY

"Miss Bremer possesses, beyond any other living writer of her class, the power of realising to the imagination every individual she introduces. There is scarcely a single person in her multitudinous groups that does not stand out palpably in his living lineaments. The minute fidelity of her details, the vivid distinctness with which every mental struggle and secret emotion is traced; the moral beauty and womanly purity which steadily illuminate her narrative; and the calm Christian philosophy out of which all its earnest lessons of truth, and justice, and resignation, and serene wisdom, are drawn, must receive implicit admiration on all hands."-EXAMINER.

Including NINA. BY FREDERIKA BREMER. Translated by MARY HOWitt. post 8vo. 31s. 6d. boards.

3 vols.

"The President's Daughters' is a worthy companion to The Neighbours'-simple and truthful; and though we may never have met elsewhere any one of the characters, all who have ever looked deeply into their own hearts will claím kindred and acquaintance with them. There is not one that offends by exaggeration-not one that is not recognised at a glance by the humanities of our common nature-they are creatures of flesh and blood, and walk the stage of life as it has been trod for ages, and will be trod for ever. No impossible vice, no super-human virtue, startles us in Miss Bremer's page: we recognise in her heroes and heroines men and women with whom we ourselves could have lived and been happy."-ATHENÆUM.
