sq. Author of "The Ayrshire Legatees," "The Annals of the Parish," &c. In 3 vols. post 8vo. "Oh, that all real autobiographies were like this piece of admirable fiction! If we were to express the genuine feelings of delight and admiration with which we have perused this work of Mr. GALT, we should be thought guilty of extravagance. It has impressed us with so high an opinion of his genius, that it would be with hesitation that we placed any other poet or fiction writer above him."--_Spectator._ 3. WOMEN AS THEY ARE; OR THE MANNERS OF THE DAY. A NOVEL. Second Edition. In 3 vols. small 8vo. "We may venture to predict, that this production will be frequently resorted to, not only as furnishing a degree of amusement seldom to be met with in books of this class, but as an authentic record of _the manners of the Day_; particularly of the state of female society at the present time; which we think has never been so thoroughly examined, and so attractively depicted.

CARWELL; OR, CRIME AND SORROW. In 1 vol. post 8vo. "This new tale of domestic life, which has for its second title 'Crime and Sorrow,' is from the pen of the widow of the late Mr. THOMAS SHERIDAN. The plan of the story is a complete departure from the beaten track of fiction, and involves the rarest eloquence and pathos. The authoress is mother to the Honourable Mrs. Norton, who has lately distinguished herself in the literary world. The family of Sheridan is indeed illustrious for genius."--_Sun._ 5. GERTRUDE, A TALE OF THE REIGN OF HENRY IV. In 2 vols. post 8vo. "A beautiful and romantic tale, written in the true spirit of the age it illustrates."--_Literary Gazette._ 6. TALES OF MY TIME. By the Author of "Blue Stocking Hall." In 3 vols. post 8vo. 28_s._ 6_d._ "These Tales are written with much spirit and truth of observation."--_Literary Gazette._ 7. THE BORDERERS. By the Author of "The Red Rover," "The Prairie," &c. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 31_s._ 6_d._ 8. STORIES OF A BRIDE. By the Authoress of "The Mummy." In 3 vols. post 8vo. 28_s._ 6_d._ 9. TALES OF A BRIEFLESS BARRISTER. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 28_s._ 6_d._ "The author of these Tales is evidently an acute observer of human nature--has witnessed some extraordinary incidents in life, and is gifted with the rare art of
