TOUR OF A GERMAN PRINCE, (PUCKLER MUSKAU,) through the Southern and Western parts of England, Wales, Ireland, and France.-In 8vo.

"Every one must feel a certain curiosity, more or less, to know what strangers say of us; and the German Prince is one who will tell them without ceremony."Literary Guardian.

THE RECTORY OF VALE-
HEAD. By the Rev. ROBERT WIL
SON EVANS, M. A.

"Universally and cordially do
we recommend this delightful vo-
lume. Impressed with the genu
ine spirit of Christianity; a diary,
as it were, of the feelings, hopes,
and sorrows of a family-it comes
home to all, either in sympathy or
example. It is a beautiful picture
of a religious household, influen-
cing to excellence all within its
sphere. We believe no person
could read this work, and not be
the better for its pious and touch-
ing lessons-Literary Gazette.

We fearlessly pronounce this delightful little volume to be not only one of the most faultless, but every way valuable works it has ever fallen to our lot to recommend to public perusal; and we do thus recommend it with hearty, honest, and urgent sincerity."Stamford Herald.

"It is an original, lively, and sensible collection of remarks on England and Ireland, by a person peculiarly well qualified to form a sound judgment; it is an agree able mixture of sketches of scenery, of manners, of character, with philosophical observations, show. ing the man of many lands and many thoughts. Pleasant it is, or at least gratifying to the curiosity, to see ourselves as others see us: peculiarly, however, is it gratifying, when the observer is one whose judgment is to be respect ed, and who clothes his decision with a rich store of fancy and "The Rectory of Valehead is a illustrative remark; still more beautiful model of domestic life is it agreeable where the charac-in the Christian home of a well-reter of the writer, also, is so far gulated family, and combines litedisclosed as to attract the invo-rary amusement with the most reluntary good-will of the reader.fined and intellectual improveSpectator. ment.-Scotsman.

THE ECONOMY OF MACHINERY AND MANUFACTURES. By CHARLES BABBAGE, Esq. One vol. 18mo. Cloth.

"Of the many publications which have recently issued from the press, calculated to give a popular and attractive form to the results of science, we look upon this volume as, by far, the most valuable. Mr. Babbage's name is well known in connexion with the general subject of which he has here undertaken to treat. But it will be difficult for the reader who does not possess the volume itself, to understand the happy style, the judgment and tact, by means of which the author has contrived to lend almost the charm of romance, to the apparently dry and technical theme which he has chosen."-Monthly Review,

TWO YEARS AND A HALF IN THE NAVY; or, Journal of a Cruise in the Mediterranean and Levant, on board the U. States Frigate Constellation, in the years 1829, 1830, and 1831. By E. C.

WINES. In 2 vols. 12mo.

"The author is a gentleman of classical education, a shrewd observer; a lively writer, whose natural manner is always agreeable; whose various matter is generally entertaining and instructive, and whose descriptions are remarkably graphic.

The greater portion of his pages have yielded us both profit and pleasure."-National Gazette.

COOPER'S NEW NOVEL.

THE HEIDENMAUER; or, THE BENEDICTINES. By the Author of the Spy, Pilot, Red Ro. ver, &c. 2 vols. 12mo. bds.

"We cannot but remark on the versatility of Mr. Cooper's genius,

SWALLOW BARN; or, A SOJOURN IN THE OLD DOMINION. In 2 vols. 12mo.

"We cannot but predict a warm reception of this work among all persons who have not lost their relish for nature and probability, as well as all those who can properly estimate the beauties of simplicity in thought and expres sion."-New York Mirror.

"One of the cleverest of the last publications written on this or the other side of the Atlantic."-New York Courier and Inquirer.

"The style is admirable, and the sketches of character, men, and scenery, so fresh and agreea-" able, that we cannot help feeling that they are drawn from nature."

IVAN VEJEEGHEN; or, LIFE IN RUSSIA. By Thaddeus Bulgarvin. 2 vols. 12mo.

"This is a genuine Russian novel, and a tale, which, with the interest of a fictitious story, presents many details of a state of society, of which nothing can be learned from books or travels. It is in every respect equal to Hope's Anastasius, and well deserves to equal that renowned romance in popularity; it has all the novelty and the ability."—Monthly Mag.

THE ALHAMBRA; A Series of Tales and Sketches of the Moors and Spaniards. By the Author of the Sketch Book, &c. In 2 vols. 12mo.

"Mr. Irving has fairly trusted himself to the golden shores of old romance,' and yielded to all their influences. He has carried us into a world of marble fountains, moonlight, arabesques, and perfumes. We do not know whether reform and retrenchment have left any imagination in the world, but this we know, that if there be any fantasies yet slumbering deep

within the souls, the tales of the Alhambra must awaken them."London Literary Gazette.

A MEMOIR OF FELIX NEFF, Pastor of the High Alps, and of his Labours among the French Protestants of Dauphane, a remnant of the Primitive Christians of Gaul. By WILLIAM STEPHEN GILLY, A. M. In one vol. 18mo.

ELIZABETH BENNET; or, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. In 2 vols. 12mo. By Miss AUSTEN. "One of the first female novelists."-Sir Walter Scott.

"The most correct of female writers, Miss Austen."-Miss Mit ford in our Village.

"Her fables appear to us, in their own way, nearly faultless. * She conducts her conversations with a regard to character hardly exceeded by Shakspeare himself. Like him, she shows as admirable a discrimination in the character of fools, as of people of sense: a merit which is far from common. **** Those who delight in the study of human nature, may improve in the knowledge of it, and in the profitable application of that knowledge, by the perusal of such fictions as those before us." -Quarterly Review.
