"This is an extraordinary performance. Such an union of the painter, the poet, and the novelist, in one person, is unexampled.

"The Paston Letters are an important testimony to the progressive condition of society, and come in as a precious link in the chain of the moral history of England, which they alone in this period supply. They stand indeed singly in Europe."-Hallam.

"Bernal Diaz's account bears all the marks of authenticity, and is accompanied with such pleasant naïveté, with such interesting details, and such amusing vanity, and yet so pardonable in an old soldier, who has been, as he boasts, in a hundred and nineteen battles, as renders his book one of the most singular that is to be found in any language."-Dr. Robertson in his "History of America."

"Mr. Maxwell's Life of the Duke of Wellington,' in our opinion, has no rival among similar publications of the day. We pronounce it free from flattery and bombast, succinct and masterly. The type and mechanical execution are admirable; the plans of battles and sieges numerous, ample, and useful; the portraits of the Duke and his warrior contemporaries many and faithful; the battle pictures animated and brilliant; and the vignettes of costumes and manners worthy of the military genius of Horace Vernet himself."Times.

MITFORD'S HISTORY OF GREECE, BY LORD REDESDALE, the Chronology cor-
rected and compared with Clinton's Fasti Hellenici, by KING, (Cadell's last and much the best
Edition, 1838; 8 vols. 8vo (pub. at 4l. 48.), gilt eloth, il. 188.
Tree-marbled calf extra, by CLARKE, 41. 48.

In respect to this new and improved edition, one of the most eminent scholars of the present day has expressed his opinion that "the increased advantages given to it have doubled the original value of the work."

It should be observed that the numerous additions and the amended Chronology, from that valuable performance, the Fasti Hellenici, are subjoined in the shape of Notes, so as not to interfere with the integrity of the text.

As there are many editions of Mitford's Greece before the public, it may be necessary to observe that the present octavo edition is the only one which contains Mr. King's last corrections and additions (which, as stated in his advertisement, are material); it is at the same time the only edition which should at the present day be chosen for the gentleman's library, being the handsomest, the most correct, and the most complete.

Lord Byron says of Mitford, "His is the best Modern History of Greece in any language, and he is perhaps the best of all modern historians whatsoever. His virtues are learning, labour, research, and earnestness."

"Considered with respect, not only to the whole series of ancient events which it comprises, but also to any very prominent portion of that series, Mr. Mitford's History is the best that has appeared since the days of Xenophon."-Edinburgh Review.
