"She is the consummator of that undefinable species of wit, which we should call (if we did not know the word might be deemed offensive, in which sense we do not mean it) the _slang_ of good society. "But few people ever painted, with so felicitous a hand, the scenery of worldly life, without any apparent satire. She brings before you the hollowness, the manoeuvres, and the intrigues of the world, with the brilliancy of sarcasm, but with the quiet of simple narrative. Her men and women, in her graver tales, are of a noble and costly clay; their objects are great; their minds are large, their passions intense and pure. She walks upon the stage of the world of fashion, and her characters, have grown dwarfed as if by enchantment. The air of frivolity has blighted their stature; their colours are pale and languid; they have no generous ambition; they are little people! they are fine people! This it is that makes her novel of our social life so natural, and so clear a transcript of the original."--_The Author of Pelham._ In One Volume, 12mo. SOME PASSAGES IN THE LIFE OF SIR PUMPKIN FRIZZLE, K. C. B. AND OTHER TALES. "Decidedly one of the most amusing productions of the year. In addition to the adventures of _Sir Pumpkin_, there are several capital stories, which cannot fail to be popular." In One Volume, 8vo. MEMOIRS OF THE BEAUTIES OF THE COURT OF CHARLES THE SECOND. BY MRS. JAMESON. Author of "DIARY OF AN ENNUYEE," "CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN," &c. "NEW WORK.--Messrs. Carey & Hart, Philadelphia, have in press a popular book, 'The Beauties of the Court of King Charles the Second,' written by Mrs. Jameson, whose father had been employed by the princess Charlotte to paint cabinet pictures of those too celebrated ladies. The princess died before they were completed, and the consequence was, they were never paid for. The circumstances of the family required some use should be made of the paintings to produce a remuneration; and Mrs. Jameson undertook the delicate task of the letter press, the portraits being engraved in the highest style of art. The London copy costs about twenty-five dollars: the American edition will be an octavo without the portraits. Nell Gwynn, the Duchess of Hamilton, &c. are not unknown characters in history. Mrs. Jameson has executed her department in a remarkably graceful manner."--_Journal of Belles Lettres._ MEMOIRS OF GREAT MILITARY COMMANDERS BY G. R. P. JAMES, Author of "DARNLEY," "HENRY MASTERTON," &c.
