Hughes, John
Provence (France) -- Description and travel; Rhône River (Switzerland and France)
"The observations which he has himself made upon these parts, and
the notices which he has collected respecting the interior from
native travellers, form a work of considerable value both in a
commercial and literary view, and leads us to rejoice that
merchants who have resided in foreign countries are beginning more
and more to communicate information on their return home," &c.
&c.--_Edinburgh Review_.

OURIKA; a Tale by the Duchess de DURAS. 2s. 6d.
"About a month ago a very pretty story under this title was
published in Paris. It soon not only attracted attention but became
quite the rage; and every thing in fashion and drama and picture
has since been Ourika. There are Ourika dresses, Ourika
Vaudevilles, Ourika prints. Madlle. Mars blacked her face to
perform Ourika, but did not like her appearance in the glass, and
refused the character. Such an event, like Mad. George's insult,
was enough to set all that sensitive metropolis in a flame; and
every mouth and every journal has rung and is ringing with
Ourika."--_Literary Gazette_, 383.
THE LAY of the SCOTTISH FIDDLE; a Poem in Five Cantos. 7s. 6d. boards.
"I believe that the nature of this American Poem was known to the
proprietor of the Quarterly Review. So far as it was a burlesque on
the Lay of the Last Minstrel, I know it was; yet was he as a
publisher so anxious to get it, that he engaged Lord Byron to use
his utmost influence with me to obtain it for him, and his Lordship
wrote a most pressing letter upon the occasion. He asked me to let
Mr. Murray, who was in despair about it, have the publication of
this Poem as the greatest possible favour."--_Dallas's
Recollections of Byron_, p. 270.
ADRASTUS; a Tragedy: AMABEL, or the Cornish Lovers; and other Poems. By
