As a man of talents, of sound and judicious observation, this work will add largely to the reputation of the great American Novelist. It is truth, in its way a masterly performance.—Scotsman. EXCURSIONS ON THE RHINE, IN SWITZERLAND, &c. By the author of the Spy, in 2 vols. 12mo. “Knowing by delightful experience the great descriptive powers of the author of ‘Excursions,’ we may safely conclude that whoever peruses them will do so with an additional satisfaction when he reflects that they are described by the same pen which has drawn such animated portraits of men and of nature before. This work is indeed a most lively narrative of travels.” Times. SKETCHES OF SWITZERLAND. PART FIRST, by the same author, in 2 vols. 12mo. “The author of ‘The Spy,’ not content with the fame already acquired in the field of literature, has here made another effort to impart some valuable thoughts to the gratification of his friends and the public. The two volumes before us are a compilation of letters written from France to the author’s personal friends in America, but these letters will not be less acceptable because written as private epistles, inasmuch as they contain much of that peculiar character which it instructs while it amuses. Mr. Cooper’s testimony in relation to the then existing state of society in France, may be considered as honest; whilst in relation to the more weighty matters which fell under his observation, he appears to have acted upon that most excellent appeal of Othello, ‘nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.’”—_American Citizen._ “Whatever Mr. Cooper undertakes to describe, he does it with the hand of a master, and a single chapter of description from his vigorous pen, conveys more distinct ideas of the things and persons of whom he writes, than all the volumes of First Impressions which have ever been published. His views of society are also such as may be studied with advantage; and it is to be hoped that the results of his experience will not be entirely lost on his fellow citizens.”—_Saturday News._ GLEANINGS IN EUROPE—ENGLAND. England, with Sketches of Society in the Metropolis, by the author of the Spy, &c. in 2 vols. 12mo. “Mr. Cooper’s new book on ‘England, and Society in the Metropolis,’ will, by the interesting details, gratify all lovers of personal anecdotes and satirical sketches. If Willis’s Pencillings were found amusing, Cooper’s book, will, from its independent tone as well as its frequent anecdotes, be alternately praised and censured according to the views of the reader; none, however, can deny to it the merit of great entertainment. “We recommend this work to a careful perusal. It abounds in curious anecdotes of the most distinguished authors and politicians of the day.”—London Sun.
