“From De Foe’s History of the Plague we may derive more information than from all the other publications on the subject put together. He has collected all the facts attending the rise, progress, and termination of the malady; an accurate report of the number of deaths, as published by authority; a faithful account of the regulations adopted to arrest and mitigate its fury. But that which imparts life to the whole, and forms its distinguishing feature, is its descriptive imagery. The effects upon the affrighted minds of the inhabitants are depicted with all the genuine pathos of nature, without any aim at effect, but with the ease and simplicity of real life.” A CLASSICAL TOUR THROUGH ITALY. By the REV. T. CHETWODE EUSTACE. _Seventh Edition. With great Additions and Translations of the various Quotations from Ancient and Modern Authors. 3 Vols._ It was the fate of Eustace, like that of Bruce, to see his labours rejected, and his veracity impeached; nor did these painful insinuations originate in the chance of ignorance. His honesty was also called in question. But truth in both instances eventually prevailed, and the writings of both these amiable but injured travellers are now appealed to as standard works. Eustace’s Journey is not only the most accurate in topography, architecture, and politics, but is, _par excellence, the classical_ tour through this land of poetry and painting. Those tourists who would soar above Eustace, have vainly sought to depreciate his learning. Those whose lot was cast below him, have gathered from his rich plumage; but neither had the courage to pass him by in silence. In this edition, which is sold at one-third the cost of the earlier ones, the discoveries made by excavation since the author’s, death have been introduced. THE EVENTFUL HISTORY OF THE MUTINY AND PIRATICAL SEIZURE OF THE BOUNTY. By JOHN BARROW, Esq., _Secretary to the Admiralty. With Five Plates from Original Sketches._ “The Author of this little volume has brought into one connected view what has hitherto appeared only in detached fragments--and some of these not generally accessible--the historical narrative of an event which deeply interested the public at the time of its occurrence, and from which the naval service in particular, in all its ranks, may still draw instructive and useful lessons.
