Itinerary of Provence and the Rhone: Made During the Year 1819
Hughes, John
Provence (France) -- Description and travel; Rhône River (Switzerland and France)
"The narrative which he has produced bears unquestionable marks of
a curious, capacious and observant mind; and the same may be said
of the poetical production of his friend Lord Byron, who
accompanied him on his Travels. As Reviewers are sometimes charged
with a propensity to cavilling, we will not close these
introductory remarks without declaring in round terms in justice to
Mr. Hobhouse, and in vindication of ourselves, that we have
received as much pleasure and instruction from the perusal of these
Travels as from that of any others which have ever come before us,"
&c. &c.--_British Review_, No. IX.
HORAE IONICAE, descriptive of the Ionian Isles and Part of the adjacent
Coast of Greece, together with other Poems. By WALLER RODWELL WRIGHT,
Esq. Third Edition. 7s 6d. boards.
"Wright?[58] 'twas thy happy lot at once to view
Those shores of glory, and to sing them too;
And sure no common muse inspired thy pen
To hail the land of gods and godlike men."
[Footnote 58: 'Mr. Wright, late Consul General for the Seven Islands, is
author of a very beautiful Poem just published: it is entitled Horae
Ionicae, and is descriptive of the Isles and the adjacent Coast of
Greece.'--_Lord Byron's English Bards_.]
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH of the LAST YEARS of the REIGN of GUSTAVUS the
FOURTH, late KING OF SWEDEN, including a Narrative of the Causes,
Progress, and Termination of the late Revolution; and an Appendix
containing Official Documents, Letters, and Minutes of Conversations
between the late King and Sir John Moore, General Brune, &c. &c. 10s.
6d. boards.
BEAUTIES of DON JUAN; including those Passages only which are calculated
to extend the real fame of Lord Byron. 10s. 6d.
"This is a very captivating volume with all the impurities of Don
Juan expurgated, and yet displaying a galaxy of connected lustre,
which is well calculated to throw a halo of splendour round the
memory of Lord Byron. It may with perfect propriety be put into
female hands, from which the levities and pruriences of the entire
poem too justly excluded it in spite of all its charms of
genius."--_Literary Gazette_, 599.
"We cannot conclude our observations without again congratulating
the Compiler upon the success which has attended his labour, and
strongly recommending the work to those who desire that the female
branches of their family should participate in the beauties of this
modern Prince of Poesy."--_Public Ledger_.
AN ACCOUNT of the EMPIRE of MOROCCO and the DISTRICT of SUSE, compiled

Journies through those Countries. To which is added, an interesting
Account of TIMBUCTOO, the great Emporium of Central Africa. By J.G.
JACKSON, Esq. Quarto. Second Edition. 2L. 12s. 6d. boards.
