MARCH. 2 vols. 8vo. 52s. 6d. +Townsend.--Modern State Trials+, revised and illustrated with Essays and Notes. By W. C. TOWNSEND, Esq., M.A., Q.C. 2 vols. 8vo. 30s. +Trollope.--Barchester Towers:+ a Novel. By ANTHONY TROLLOPE. New and cheaper Edition, complete in One Volume. Crown 8vo. 5s. +Trollope.--The Warden.+ By ANTHONY TROLLOPE. Post 8vo. 10s. 6d. +The Traveller's Library:+ A Collection of original Works well adapted for _Travellers_ and _Emigrants_, for _School-room Libraries_, the _Libraries of Mechanics' Institutions_, _Young Men's Libraries_, the _Libraries of Ships_, and similar purposes. The separate volumes are suited for _School Prizes_, _Presents to Young People_, and for general instruction and entertainment. The Series comprises fourteen of the most popular of Lord Macaulay's _Essays_, and his _Speeches_ on Parliamentary Reform. The department of Travels contains some account of eight of the principal countries of Europe, as well as Travels in four districts of Africa, in four of America, and in three of Asia.

In Biography and History will be found Lord Macaulay's Biographical Sketches of _Warren Hastings, Clive, Pitt, Walpole, Bacon,_ and others, besides Memoirs of _Wellington, Turenne, F. Arago,_ &c., an Essay on the Life and Genius of _Thomas Fuller_, with Selections from his Writings, by Mr. Henry Rogers; and a history of the _Leipsic Campaign_, by Mr. Gleig,--which is the only separate account of this remarkable campaign.
