SEQUEL TO THE WORKS OF BURNS.
Second edition, in one vol. 12mo. Price $1 00, muslin.
THE LIFE AND LAND OF BURNS,
By ALLAN CUNNINGHAM, with contributions by Thomas Campbell, Esq., Author
of “The Pleasures of Hope,” to which is prefixed an Essay on the
Genius and Writings of Burns, by Thomas Carlyle, Esq.
“This book is invaluable as completing the works of Burns, and as being
also illustrative of them.”—Cincinnati Gazette.
“Written with all a poet’s thought and feeling.”—Tattler.
“Another tribute to the memory of one of the truest poets that the
world, perhaps, has ever seen. This posthumous volume will be regarded
of peculiar and permanent value, as being a sequel to all editions of
the writings of the poet extant, to which it is the clue for their
complete elucidation. The Essay of Carlyle, included in the present
work, is a splendid effort, and among the finest specimens of this
original and beautiful writer. The work will commend itself not only to
every son of Scotia, but to all the admirers of poetry throughout our
far-spread borders.”—New World.
“All the admirers of Scotland’s sweetest bard—and who will acknowledge
that he is not one—will be delighted with this volume, filled as it is
with various reminiscences and particulars about him, that have never
before appeared. It would be enough to say that it is a joint tribute to
the memory of the poet of nature, by Cunningham, Campbell, and Carlyle;
but it has even more than this to recommend it. It has several original
letters, never before published in this country, and is altogether one
of the pleasantest books that have appeared for a long while.”—N. Y.

THE AMENITIES OF LITERATURE,
BY J. D’ISRAELI, ESQ.
Author of “The Miscellanies of Literature,” “The Curiosities of
Literature,”
beautifully printed in two vols. 12mo. Price $2 00, muslin.
“Quite worthy of an author who has done perhaps more than any other to
illustrate and adorn the English language and literature: this work will
rank in all public and private libraries with the author’s previous
delightful miscellanies, “The Curiosities of Literature,” “The
Miscellanies of Literature,” &c.—New World.
“The volumes are as invaluable and curious as interesting, and form
history enough of the subject for any save the antiquary—and no modern
history would content him.”—Brother Jonathan.
