ard work. It is not merely as a novel,
however, that Coningsby is interesting, but as a popular exposition of
the author's political ideas. It is a valuable contribution to popular
literature."--_Weekly Chronicle._

ZOOLOGICAL RECREATIONS.
By W. J. BRODERIP, Esq., F.R.S.
CHEAPER EDITION, 1 vol., post 8vo., 7s. 6d. bound.
"We believe we do not exaggerate in saying that, since the publication
of White's 'Natural History of Selborne,' and of the 'Introduction to
Entomology,' by Kirby and Spence, no work in our language is better

its author--to furnish a hand-book which may cherish or awaken a love
for natural history."--_Quarterly Review._

By the Author of "Sam Slick, the Clockmaker;" &c.
2 vols., post 8vo., 21s. bound.
"These volumes are redolent of the hearty fun and strong masculine sense

practical jokes; and capitally told anecdotes."--_Morning Chronicle._

close of 1814 till Her Royal Highness's return to England the author was
never absent from her for a single day. All is humourously and artlessly
told, and the plain truth finds its way at once to the reader's heart
and feelings."--_Court Journal._
