._ * * * * * THE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS; OR, ROMANCE AND REALITIES OF EASTERN TRAVEL. By ELIOT B. G. WARBURTON, Esq. SEVENTH EDITION, 2 vols., with numerous Illustrations, 21s. bound. "Independently of its value as an original narrative, and its useful and interesting information, this work is remarkable for the colouring power and play of fancy with which its descriptions are enlivened. Among its greatest and most lasting charms is its reverent and serious spirit."--_Quarterly Review._ "We could not recommend a better book as a travelling companion."--_United Service Magazine._ * * * * * HOCHELAGA; OR, ENGLAND IN THE NEW WORLD.
