VI.
Third Edition, in 2 vols. post 8vo,
CELEBRATED FEMALE SOVEREIGNS.
By MRS. JAMESON.
"We are indebted to Mrs. Jameson for these very delightful
volumes."--_New Monthly._

Sovereigns."--_Metropolitan._

SKETCHES AND CHARACTERS:
OR, THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE HUMAN INTELLECTS.
By J. W. WHITECROSS.
"This work is full of animated yet deep reflection; it is strikingly
marked by originality of views."--_Literary Chronicle._
VIII.
In 2 vols. post 8vo,
THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.
_Illustrative of the peculiar Doctrines held by the Disciples of George
Fox._
By MRS. J. R. GREER,
Author of "Quakerism; or, the Story of my Life."
"This is a particularly curious book. In her sensible and searching
theological dissection of the Quaker Sect, Mrs. Greer has recorded
the best possible justification of the step she took in leaving
it."--_Warder._
"Interesting and attractive, instructive and suggestive it is, and must
be so alike to that mixed multitude who are antithetically called the
Religious world, as well as to every English churchman."--_Liverpool
Mail._
IX.
In 3 vols. post 8vo,
CONFIDENCE.
A TALE.
"The extraordinary delineation of the heroine is such as to fasten the
attention of the reader on the track of the matchless female Machiavel
from the first page to the last."--_Lit. Chron._
X.
In 2 vols. post 8vo,
CASTLE ST. LAURE.
A TALE.
"If all works of imagination were like this, the school of fiction
would soon become the highest school of morality. There is as much to
delight as to improve in this work. A woman true and faithful to her
duty, beautiful in her devotion, ennobling the humblest position, yet
so acting as to dignify the highest."--_Post._
XI.
In 1 vol. post 8vo,
CLAVERSTON.
A TALE.
By CHARLES MITCHELL CHARLES,
Author of "Hamon and Cator."
"There is no living English author, whatever his reputation, who need
be ashamed of having written such a work as this. It is original and
masterly in design, and in execution shows the vigour of a youthful
artist, confident in his powers, and possessing powers worthy of his
confidence. We may safely predict that those who read this work once
will be very likely to read it twice."--_Tait's Magazine._
XII.
In 2 vols. post 8vo,
THE VICISSITUDES OF COMMERCE.
A TALE OF THE FACTORIES.
"The author of these volumes did wisely when, seated in his own domain,
he employed his pen and his powers to delineate scenes of which he
himself was perfect master, but which are shut out from us as entirely
as though they belonged to another portion of the globe."--_Literary
Chronicle._
XIII.
In 1 vol. post 8vo,
HERBERT ANNESLIE.
A REMINISCENCE.
By FULWAR CRAVEN FOWLE,
_Of the Bengal Civil Service_.

moral."--_Critic._
