en shorn of any of its beams, that it is particularly worthy of attention."--_Chronicle._ LIFE AND CORRESPONDENCE OF JOHN LOCKE. By LORD KING. 2 vols. 16s. HISTORIC SCENES. By AGNES STRICKLAND. Author of "Lives of the Queens of England," &c. 1 vol., post 8vo, elegantly bound, with Portrait of the Author, 10s. 6d. "This attractive volume is replete with interest. Like Miss Strickland's former works, it will be found, we doubt not, in the hands of youthful branches of a family, as well as in those of their parents, to all and each of whom it cannot fail to be alike amusing and instructive."--_Britannia._ LETTERS OF ROYAL AND ILLUSTRIOUS LADIES OF GREAT BRITAIN Now first published from the Originals, with Historical Notices. By MRS. EVERETT GREEN, Author of "Lives of the Princesses of England." Cheaper Edition, 3 vols., with Facsimile Autographs, &c., 15s. bound. GENERAL PEPE'S NARRATIVE OF THE WAR IN ITALY, FROM 1847 to 1850; INCLUDING THE SIEGE OF VENICE. Now first published from the original Italian Manuscript. Cheaper Edition, 2 vols., post 8vo, 12s. bound. "We predict that posterity will accept General Pepe as the historian of the great Italian movement of the nineteenth century. His work is worthy of all commendation."--_Standard._ THE REV. R. MILMAN'S LIFE OF TASSO. Cheaper Edition in 2 vols., post 8vo, 12s. bound. "Mr. Milman's book has considerable merit. He has evidently, in his interesting biography of Tasso, undertaken a labour of love. His diligence has been great, his materials are copious and well-arranged, and his sketches of the poet's contemporaries form agreeable episodes in the narrative of Tasso's works and woes."--_Edinburgh Review._ MEMOIRS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF SIR ROBERT MURRAY KEITH, K.B., _Minister Plenipotentiary at the Courts of Dresden, Copenhagen, and Vienna, from 1769 to 1793; with Biographical Memoirs of_ QUEEN CAROLINE MATILDA, SISTER OF GEORGE III. 2 vols., post 8vo, with Portraits, 21s. bound. "A large portion of this important and highly interesting work consists of letters, that we venture to say will bear a comparison for sterling wit, lively humour, entertaining gossip, piquant personal anecdotes, and brilliant pictures of social life, in its highest phases, both at home and abroad, with those of Horace Walpole himself."--_Court Journal._ CAPTAIN CRAWFORD'S REMINISCENCES OF ADMIRALS SIR E. OWEN, SIR B. HALLOWELL CA
