                               SYDENHAM;
                   OR, MEMOIRS OF A MAN OF THE WORLD.

“The work before us is one of the most powerful of its class; it bears
intrinsic evidence of a new writer. The portrait of Brummel, the ‘arch
dandy,’ is excellent, and all the scenes in which he is engaged are
managed with skill and tact. There is, in fact, sufficient material in
this book for three or four novels.”--_New Monthly Magazine._

“Each of these volumes is in fact a separate work--each in a different
style and spirit--each aspiring to a different fame in composition.
‘Sydenham’ is a capital work, which, without the trouble of puffing,
must make a great stir in the upper and political circles.”--_London
Lit. Gaz._

    BEING A SEQUEL TO “SYDENHAM; OR, MEMOIRS OF A MAN OF THE WORLD.”

                      By the Author of “SYDENHAM.”

“Two most amusing and clever volumes, decidedly improvements on their
predecessors. The great characteristic of this work is its good
sense.”--_London Literary Gazette._

“Conceived and sketched in the very spirit of Hogarth.”--_Courier._

“Great strength of mind, knowledge of the world, and acquaintance with
the higher circles of society, are visible in every page.”--_Cheltenham
Chronicle._

                   TRAVELS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF PERU;
                INCLUDING A YEAR’S RESIDENCE IN POTOSI.

       By EDMUND TEMPLE, Kt. of the Royal and distinguished Order
                            of CHARLES III.

“These travels in Peru will long maintain their reputation for
the accuracy of detail, the spirit of the style, and the utility
of the information they contain. The professional matter is very
valuable.”--_Bulwer’s New Monthly Magazine._

“There is much to instruct, and a great deal to amuse. Amid the details
of personal adventures, there is a great deal of shrewd and strong
observation.”--_London Monthly Magazine._

“We have met with no volumes of travels in that country with which,
upon the whole, we have been so much pleased as the one before
us.”--_Baltimore Gazette._

“This is an instructive and entertaining work.”--_National Gazette._

“This book is one of the most entertaining that has been issued from
the press for some time.”--_Pennsylvania Inquirer._
