BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN." "'Young Mrs. Jardine' is a pretty story, written in pure English."--_The Times._ "There is much good feeling in this book. It is pleasant and wholesome."--_Athenæum._ LII.--LORD BRACKENBURY. BY AMELIA B. EDWARDS. "A very readable story. The author has well conceived the purpose of high-class novel-writing, and succeeded in no small measure in attaining it. There is plenty of variety, cheerful dialogue, and general 'verve' in the book."--_Athenæum._ LIII.--IT WAS A LOVER AND HIS LASS. BY MRS. OLIPHANT. "In 'It was a Lover and his Lass,' we admire Mrs. Oliphant exceedingly. It would be worth reading a second time, were it only for the sake of one ancient Scottish spinster, who is nearly the counterpart of the admirable Mrs. Margaret Maitland."--_Times._ LIV.--THE REAL LORD BYRON--THE STORY OF THE POET'S LIFE. BY JOHN CORDY JEAFFRESON. "Mr. Jeaffreson comes forward with a narrative which must take a very important place in Byronic literature; and it may reasonably be anticipated that this book will be regarded with deep interest by all who are concerned in the works and the fame of this great English poet."--_The Times._ WORKS BY THE AUTHOR OF 'SAM SLICK, THE CLOCKMAKER.' _Each in One Volume, Frontispiece, and Uniformly Bound, Price 5s._ NATURE AND HUMAN NATURE. "We enjoy our old friend's company with unabated relish. This work is a rattling miscellany of sharp sayings, stories, and hard hits. It is full of fun and fancy."--_Athenæum._ "Since Sam's first work he has written nothing so fresh, racy, and genuinely humorous as this. Every line of it tells in some way or other--instructively, satirically, jocosely, or wittily. Admiration of Sam's mature talents, and laughter at his droll yarns, constantly alternate as with unhalting avidity we peruse the work. The Clockmaker proves himself the fastest time-killer a-going."--_Observer._ WISE SAWS AND MODERN INSTANCES. "This delightful book will be the most popular, as beyond doubt it is the best, of all the author's admirable works."--_Standard._ "The book before us will be read and laughed over. Its quaint and racy dialect will please some readers--its abundance of yarns will amuse others. There is something to suit readers of every humour."--_Athenæum._ "The humour of Sam Slick is inexhaustible. He is ever and everywhere a welcome visitor; smiles greet his approach, and wit and wisdom hang upon his tongue. We promise our readers a great treat from the perusal of these 'Wise Saws,' which contain a world of practical wisdom, and a treasury of the richest fun."--_Morning Post._ THE OLD JUDGE; OR, LIFE IN A COLONY.
