FAMILY ROMANCE; OR, DOMESTIC ANNALS OF THE ARISTOCRACY. BY SIR BERNARD BURKE, ULSTER King of ARMS. 2 vols. post 8vo. 21s. Among the many other interesting legends and romantic family histories comprised in these volumes, will be found the following:-The wonderful narrative of Maria Stella, Lady Newborough, who claimed on such strong evidence to be a Princess of the House of Orleans, and disputed the identity of Louis PhilippeThe story of the humble marriage of the beautiful Countess of Strathmore, and the sufferings and fate of her only child-The Leaders of Fashion, from Gramont to D'Orsay-The rise of the celebrated Baron Ward, now Prime Minister at Parma The curious claim to the Earldom of Crawford-The Strange Vicissitudes of our Great Families, replete with the most romantic details-The story of the Kirkpatricks of Closeburn (the ancestors of the French Empress), and the remarkable tradition associated with them-The Legend of the Lambtons-The verification in our own time of the famous prediction as to the Earls of MarLady Ogilvy's escape-The Beresford and Wynyard ghost stories correctly told &c. &c. "It were impossible to praise too highly as a work of amusement these two most in teresting volumes, whether we should have regard to its excellent plan or its not less excellent execution. The volumes are just what ought to be found on every drawing-room table. Here you have nearly fifty captivating romances with the pith of all their interest preserved in undiminished poignancy, and any one may be read in half an hour. It is not the least of their merits that the romances are founded on fact-or what, at least, has been handed down for truth by long tradition-and the romance of reality far exceeds the romance of fiction. Each story is told in the clear, unaffected style with which the author's former works have made the public familiar, while they afford evidence of the value, even to a work of amusement, of that historical and genealogical learning that may justly be expected of the author of The Peerage.'"-Standard. "The very reading for sea-side or fire-side in our hours of idleness."-Athenæum. THE ROMANCE OF THE FORUM; OR, NARRATIVES, SCENES, AND ANECDOTES FROM COURTS OF JUSTICE, SECOND SERIES.

"We have no hesitation in recommending this, as one of the most interesting works that have been lately given to the public."-Morning Chronicle "The favour with which the first series of this publication was received, has induced Mr. Burke to extend his researches, which he has done with great judgment. The incidents forming the subject of the second series are as extraordinary in every respect, as those which obtained so high a meed of celebrity for the first. Some of the tales could scarcely be believed to be founded in fact, or to be records of events that have startled the world, were there not the incontestable evidence which Mr. Burke has established to prove that they have actually happened."-Messenger. MAMMON; OR, THE HARDSHIPS OF AN HEIRESS. MAGDALEN HEPBURN; A STORY OF THE SCOTTISH REFORMATION. 3 vols. "Magdalen Hepburn will sustain the reputation which the author of 'Margaret Maitland' has acquired. It is a well prepared and carefully executed picture of the society and state of manners in Scotland at the dawn of the Reformation. John Knox is successfully drawn." -Athenæum. "Magdalen Hepburn' is a story of the Scottish Reformation, with John Knox prominently introduced among the dramatis personæ. The book is thoroughly enjoyable, pleasant women move to and fro in it, characters are well discriminated, and there is a sense everywhere of the right and good, as well as the picturesque."-Examiner. ADAM GRAEME, 3 vols. "A story awakening genuine emotions of interest and delight by its admirable pictures of Scottish life and scenery."Post. HARRY MUIR. SECOND EDITION. 3 vols. "We prefer Harry Muir' to most of the Scottish novels that have appeared since Galt's domestic stories. This new tale, by the author of 'Margaret Maitland,' is a real picture of the weakness of man's nature and the depths of woman's kindness. The narrative, to repeat our praise, is not one to be entered on or parted from without our regard for its writer being increased."-Athenæum. "This is incomparably the best of the author's works. In it the brilliant promise afforded by Margaret Maitland' has been fully realised, and now there can be no question that, for graphic pictures of Scottish life, the author is entitled to be ranked second to none among modern writers of fiction."-Caledonian Mercury: CALEB FIELD.

Edited by the Author of "JOHN DRAYTON, ‚""AILIEFORD," &c. 3 vols. "Mathew Paxton' bears a strong generic resemblance to those clever stories John Drayton' and 'Ailieford,' and awakens in the perusal a kindred gratification. It displays the same simple pathos, the same homely humour, the same truth to nature, and the same fine sense of national peculiarity."-Post. AILIEFORD. A FAMILY HISTORY.

JEAFFRES ON. 3 vols. "A clever novel, and one that, without any great wealth or diversity of incident, contrives to be deeply interesting. The career of a brilliant young man at college -his temptations, errors, and resolute self-redemption from evil courses-makes the main interest of the story, which is set forth with a vigour and reality that looks like a daguerreotype from facts."-Athe næum.

Published on the first of every This popular periodical, which has now been established a quarter of a century, embraces subjects of such extensive variety and powerful interest as must render it scarcely less acceptable to readers in general than to the members of those professions for whose use it is more particularly intended. Independently of a succession of Original Papers on innumerable interesting subjects, Personal Narratives, Historical Incidents, Correspondence, etc., each number comprises Biographical Memoirs of Eminent Officers of all branches of service, Reviews of New Publications, either immediately relating to the Army or Navy, or involving subjects of utility or interest to the members of either, full Reports of Trials by Courts Martial, Distribution of the Army and Navy, General Orders, Circulars, Promotions, Appointments, Births, Marriages, Obituary, etc., with all the Naval and Military Intelligence of the month. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "This is confessedly one of the ablest and most attractive periodicals of which the British press can boast, presenting a wide field of entertainment to the general as well as professional reader. The suggestions for the benefit of the two services are distinguished by vigour of sense, acute and practical observation, an ardent love of discipline, tempered by a high sense of justice, honour, and a tender regard for the welfare and comfort of our soldiers and seamen."-Globe. "At the head of those periodicals which furnish usefu and valuable information to their peculiar classes of readers, as well as amusement to the general body of the public, must be placed the United Service Magazine, and Naval and Military Journal.' It numbers among its contributors almost all those gallant spirits who have done no less honour to their country by their swords than by their pens, and abounds with the most interesting discussions on naval and military affairs, and stirring narratives of deeds of arms in all parts of the world. Every information of value and interest to both the Services is culled with the greatest diligence from every available source, and the correspondence of various distinguished officers which enrich its pages is a feature of great attraction. In short, the 'United Service Magazine' can be recommended to every reader who possesses that attachment to his country which should make him look with the deepest interest on its naval and military resources."-Sun. "This truly national periodical is always full of the most valuable matter for professional men."-Morning Herald. "To military and naval men, and to that class of readers who hover on the skirts of the Service, and take a world of pains to inform themselves of all the goings on, the modes and fashions, the movements and adventures connected with ships and barracks, this periodical is indispensable. It is a repertory of facts and criticisms-narratives of past experience, and fictions that are as good as if they were true-tables and returns-new inventions and new books bearing upon the army and navy-correspondence crowded with intelligence-and sundry unclaimed matters that lie in close neighbourhood with the professions, and contribute more or less to the stock of general useful information."-Atlas.
