"These tales partake of the merits of the two former series, while they excel them in vivacity, truth, and copiousness of character. In the facility with which Mr. Hook sketches personal peculiarities, he is unrivalled: the readiness with which he falls into all the little niceties and familiarities which mark the tone of society, is equally striking. The little appearance of labour in his writings, the singular warmth and unstudied vigour of his sentences, complete the effect, and make his works the most lively, and at the same time the truest pictures of life we have yet met with."--_Atlas._ 3. SIR MICHAEL SCOTT; a Romance. By ALLAN CUNNINGHAM. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 28s. 6d. "Mr. Cunningham is, beyond all question, a man of genius, taste, and feeling, and he has lately given to the world two very extraordinary tales; the one entitled 'Paul Jones,' the other 'Sir Michael Scott.'"--_Edinburgh Review._ "A work of surprising grandeur and power."--_Scots Times._ 4. CLORINDA; or, CONFESSIONS OF AN OLD MAID. 3 vols. post 8vo. 28s. 6d. 5. The O'BRIENS and the O'FLAHERTYS; a Tale. By LADY MORGAN, Authoress of "THE WILD IRISH GIRL," "O'DONNEL," "FLORENCE MACARTHY," &c. Second Edition. In 4 vols. post 8vo. 30s. "Lady Morgan has again entered upon the arena of literary competition, in a work which abounds in all the numerous characteristics of her eminent talents and genius. We have the same accurate conceptions of life--the same vigorous and comprehensive views of society in all its relations--the same felicitous conception of character and incidents, and the same powers of vivid description and glowing sketches, which have so preeminently distinguished her former works."--_Morning Chronicle._ 6. YES AND NO. By the Author of "MATILDA." A New Edition. 2 vols. post 8vo. 21s. "It is long since we have read any novel so piquant, so pleasant, so racy, as this production of Lord Normanby. It is full of nice observation and character."--_London Magazine._ 7. THE MUMMY, a TALE of the 22nd CENTURY. Second Edition. 3 vols. post 8vo. 28s. 6d. "Why hast thou disquieted me to bring me up?"

HERBERT LACY; a Novel. By the Author of "GRANBY." 3 vols. post 8vo. 31s. 6d. "We need not recommend this novel; the memory of 'Granby' will do that."--_Literary Gazette._ 9. BELMOUR; a Novel. By the Hon. ANNE SEYMOUR DAMER. Second Edition. 2 vols. post 8vo. 18s. 10. THE WHITE HOODS; an Historical Romance. By ANNA ELIZA BRAY (late MRS.
