The Illustrations drawn on Wood expressly for this Work, by PAUL J. NAFTEL,
Member of the London Society of Painters in Water Colours.
SATURDAY REVIEW, April 4, 1863.—"This is a really valuable work. A book which
will long remain the standard authority on its subject. No one who has been to
the Channel Islands, or who purposes going there, will be insensible of its
value."
ATHENÆUM, Nov. 16, 1862.—"It is the produce of many hands, and every hand
a good one. Nearly everything which a man can desire to know about Jersey,
Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, about their history, geography, and natural
history, Professor Ansted and Dr. Latham have contrived to tell."
SPECTATOR, Jan. 24, 1863.—"We are quite sure that to all classes of readers
this work will prove exceedingly interesting, while scientific men will
acknowledge that it leaves no room for any future history of the Islands."
LONDON REVIEW, Jan. 17, 1863.—"We can safely say that no one can visit the
Channel Islands without finding much to interest and inform in the work before
us."
OBSERVER, Nov. 30, 1862.—"As gems of art, these illustrations have rarely been
equalled, and certainly have never been surpassed. They are alone sufficient
to confer a lasting popularity and permanent value. The volume however,
possesses an intrinsic worth irrespective of all its graces of adornment, which
will not fail to command it the hearty approbation of every reader."
 SECOND EDITION.

AN INQUIRY INTO THE THEORIES OF

HISTORY, CHANCE, LAW, WILL;
With SPECIAL REFERENCE to the PRINCIPLES of POSITIVE
PHILOSOPHY.

BY WILLIAM ADAM.
8vo, cloth, 15s.

WESTMINSTER REVIEW.—"The 'Inquiry into the Theories of History,' although

anonymous, is a first-rate book. Its object is to reconcile Theism with the
scientific conception of law, and from that reconciliation to deduce a true
theory of history. The book contains a most able and effectual vindication of
Theism, and of a rational, as opposed to irrational, Positivism."
CORNHILL MAGAZINE.—"Written with remarkable ability, and, considering its
polemical spirit, with excellent temper. The style is always animated, and at
times felicitous. The volume gives ample proof of metaphysical acuteness. One
good service it will certainly effect—namely, that of fastening the attention of
its readers on the great fundamental problems of historical science."
SPECTATOR.—"The whole book bears the evident mark of maturity of thought.
The third chapter is full of thoughtful and able argument, in which the
positions, not only of Comte, but often of Mill, are powerfully and successfully
assailed."
ATHENÆUM.—"The book now under notice is no doubt heavy and massive, but
no competent critic will be prepared to pronounce it dull. It is exceedingly calm
and candid, clear-sighted, and ingenious in an eminent degree. It is well
thought and weightily written. We have not come across a book of the present
day for a considerable while so far removed from the common run of writing
and of thinking as this one is. This author manifests that originality which
always goes to the centre of a question, whether well or ill conceived, and
takes sundry important and fresh views of the entire problem before turning
aside from the contemplation of it. Be the writer who he may, he has the
credit, at least, of producing a highly original work."
 THE POLISH CAPTIVITY:
An ACCOUNT of the PRESENT POSITION and PROSPECTS of the
POLES in the KINGDOM of POLAND,
AND IN THE POLISH PROVINCES OF AUSTRIA, PRUSSIA, AND RUSSIA.

BY SUTHERLAND EDWARDS.
Two Volumes, 8vo, with Chromo-Lithographic Illustrations, 26s.

TImes, April 2, 1863.—"A highly opportune production."

SPECTATOR, March 28, 1863.—"The 'Polish Captivity' is full of light but
suggestive sketches, pièces justificatives of historic value, national songs and
stories, descriptions of Polish towns, Polish notabilities, and Polish women, and
is, besides, a book an English lady might read with twice the ease of Mr.
Trollope's latest novel."
ATHENÆUM, March 21, 1863.—"Mr. Edwards' book will be read with deep
interest. It is well written, and the narratives are well constructed."
LONDON REVIEW, March 28, 1863.—"The book in which Mr. Sutherland Edwards
has depicted the 'Polish Captivity' would have been valuable at any time, but
the opportuneness of its arrival so enhances its merits, that it is certain to
command a greater than ordinary success."
 SECOND EDITION.

THE RUSSIANS AT HOME:

UNPOLITICAL SKETCHES.
Showing what Newspapers they read; what Theatres they frequent; and how
they eat, drink, and enjoy themselves; with other matter relating chiefly to
Literature, Music, and to Places of Historical and Religious Interest in and
about Moscow.

BY SUTHERLAND EDWARDS, ESQ.

Second Edition, in post 8vo, with Illustrations, price 10s. 6d.
EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT.—"It is a book that we can seriously recommend,
not only to those who are desirous of abundant and reliable information
respecting the social economy of the Russian people, but to those who seek an
entertaining volume, that may be perused in any part with both profit and
amusement."
GLOBE.—"This book is full of useful information and sensible comment on a
people and country which are very little known in England, even among the
cultivated and travelling classes."
ILLUSTRATED TIMES.—"The book may be recommended as embodying a large
amount of varied information concerning Russia in the pleasantest possible
form. Every page has the advantage of being readable, and is always fresh in
what it has to say and in the manner of saying it."
SPECTATOR.—"This is not only one of the most amusing books that we have
read for a long time, but also the best and most reliable account of Russian life
and manners which has hitherto been given to the public."

SECOND EDITION.

THE HISTORY OF THE OPERA,

From Monteverde to Donizetti.
 BY SUTHERLAND EDWARDS, ESQ.
2 vols. post 8vo, 21s.
THE TIMES.—"The new history of the lyrical drama with which Mr. Sutherland
Edwards favours the public, has three qualities to recommend it. In the first
place, it contains, for its size, a very complete account of the progress of an
art, which now, beyond all others, occupies the attention of the civilized world;
in the second place, it is one of those treasures of amusing anecdote that may
be taken up and laid down at a moment's notice; in the third place, it abounds
with the observations of a shrewd and independent thinker, who has seen
much, read much, and travelled much, and who approaches his subject less as
a professed musician than as one of those cultivated men who take a position
between the artist and the multitude, and who, after all, constitute the body
upon whom the general appreciation of every art depends.... The anecdotes,
which we have given in illustration of an extremely short and inglorious period
of operatic history, occupy but very few pages in Mr. Edwards' book; and,
when we inform our readers that his two volumes are replete with matter of
the same kind, they will easily judge of the amount of entertainment to be
derived from his labours. So abundant is his material, that he might, if he had
pleased, have filled a dozen quartos; and, as he himself confesses, he found
the task of omission heavier than that of collection. Let us add, that he has
omitted well, and that he has seasoned a pleasant and instructive history with
the very concentrated essence of agreeable gossip."
HERALD.—"Mr. Edwards has here produced a work which ought to command a
great sale, if its merits and the great number of opera-goers may be
considered. Completely master of his subject, and possessing a ready and
pleasing pen, Mr. Edwards in these volumes gives us an exceedingly interesting
history of operatic performances."
SUN.—"We commend these light and pleasant volumes to all lovers of musical
and dramatic art, assuring them they will find ample entertainment in their
animated pages."

OBSERVER.—"Full of pleasant memoirs and piquant reading."

DAILY TELEGRAPH.—"The book that tells the story of Lady Morgan's life will
always be of value for its pictures of a state of society which, with much of its
good, and more of its evil, has passed away for ever."
DAILY NEWS.—"Surveying, as they do, considerably more than half the last
hundred years, and touching upon some of the most instructive events of that
period, these volumes, it need hardly be said, are most interesting. Princes,
dukes, and nobles, authors, artists, and literati of every profession, crowd the

HISTORY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE

IN INDIA.
BY EDWARD THORNTON, ESQ.
Containing a copious Glossary of Indian Terms, and a complete Chronological
Index of Events, to aid the aspirant for Public Examinations.
One Vol. 8vo, with Map, price 16s.

THE TIMES.—"Mr. Thornton is master of a style of great perspicuity and vigour,

always interesting, and frequently rising into eloquence. His power of painting
character and of bringing before the eye of the reader the events which he
relates, is remarkable; and if the knowledge of India can be made popular, we
should say his is the pen to effect it."
GLOBE.—"Mr. Thornton's history is comprehensive in its plan, clear and forcible
in its style, and impartial in its tone."
EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT.—"The writer evinces diligence and research into
original authorities; his style is easy, and the intrinsic interest of the important
events of Indian history is thus increased by a popular and amusing narrative."
PATRIOT.—"The style of the work is free, rapid, and spirited, and bears marks
of a thorough familiarity with the subject. Every Englishman ought to be
acquainted with the history of the British Empire in India, and we therefore
cordially recommend this work to our readers."
The LIBRARY EDITION in Six Vols. may be had, £2 8s.

A GAZETTEER OF INDIA,
Compiled chiefly from the Records at the India Office,
WITH NOTES, MARGINAL REFERENCES, AND MAP.

BY EDWARD THORNTON, ESQ.

 *⁎* The chief objects in view in compiling this Gazetteer are:—
1st. To fix the relative position of the various cities, towns, and villages, with as
much precision as possible, and to exhibit with the greatest practicable brevity
all that is known respecting them; and,
2ndly. To note the various countries, provinces, or territorial divisions, and to
describe the physical characteristics of each, together with their statistical,
social, and political circumstances.
To these are added minute descriptions of the principal rivers and chains of
mountains; thus presenting to the reader, within a brief compass, a mass of
information which cannot otherwise be obtained, except from a multiplicity of
volumes and manuscript records. The work, in short, may be regarded as an
epitome of all that has been written and published respecting the territories
under the government or political superintendence of the British power in
India.
In Four Vols. 8vo, with Map, price £2 16s.
 FOURTH EDITION.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY
OF

MISS CORNELIA KNIGHT,

Lady-Companion to the Princess Charlotte of Wales,
WITH EXTRACTS FROM HER JOURNALS AND ANECDOTE BOOKS.
In Two Vols. 8vo, with Portrait of the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE of WALES, price 26s.

TIMES.—"Why we should turn to these volumes as among the most interesting

of the recent season will be sufficiently evident as we indicate their contents."
MORNING STAR, July 22, 1861.—"Emphatically a readable book is this
autobiography. Indeed, having once opened it, the reader cannot easily lay it
aside until he has got through the whole. Not the least interesting part is the
collection of miscellaneous anecdotes of persons and events which are
clustered together as a sort of appendix at the close. It is a book fit to be
read, but fit also for something better than a casual reading; worthy of a
higher repute than an evanescent popularity, merely founded upon the great
names it introduces, and the amusing scraps of gossip it contains."
ATHENÆUM, June 8, 1861.—"Of the popularity of these volumes, on account of
their historical as well as gossiping merits, there can be no doubt whatever."

 In Two Volumes, post 8vo, cloth, price 18s.

OBSERVER.—"As a prose satire, the History of the Abderites yields only in

breadth of humour and pungency of wit to Dean Swift's immortal Travels of
Captain Lemuel Gulliver; and of works of that class, we know of none in any
language that can compare with either of the two."
LONDON REVIEW.—"Here is enjoyment for many a Christmas to come, for many
thousands of English boys, and many thousands of English men and women.
Unfortunately for the world, Pisistratus Caxton departed this life without having
made any contribution towards the great history of human folly, save, indeed,
by the records of his own. Mr. Christmas has given us something even better in
his translation of Wieland's Abderites; and in the simplest, most racy, and
vernacular English, has enriched our literature with another character of the
family dear to mankind, of the Quixotes, Gullivers and other human foils of
human self-love and vanity. If the addition to our shelves of a book to delight
the young and instruct the old, overflowing with wit, fun, drollery
inexpressible, wisdom, depth and knowledge, is an achievement deserving of
national thanks, we undertake to convey our share to Mr. Christmas, fearing
only lest we should not have thanked him sufficiently."
MORNING HERALD.—"There is, indeed, about it, nothing of the stiffness of a
translation; and the work reads with all the ease and freedom of an original
composition."
 THE HISTORY OF CHESS,
From the Time of the Early Invention of the Game in India till the Period of its
Establishment in Western and Central Europe.

BY DUNCAN FORBES, LL.D.

8vo, 15s.
HERALD.—"This volume will be a welcome addition to the library of every lover
of the noble game of chess. Our author makes a stout fight for the Hindoos as
the inventors of the game, and adduces many cogent proofs in support of his
opinion. He shows how the game is played in other countries, how it has been
modified both in the names of the pieces and the names of the game by the
peculiarities of the country or the national temperament of the inhabitants;
and then traces the steps by which it has arrived at its present place of honour
in civilized and intellectual Europe. The book is, therefore, full of curious lore,
that lean on other and higher subjects than chess-playing, for it involves
dissertations on ethnology, comparative etymology, the dispersion and
settlement of nations, and the manners and customs of different countries, to
a degree that would not be at all anticipated by a person who contented
himself by reading the title-page. All this information is given, not in any dry,
repulsive, or even technical style, but freshly, clearly, and in an animated
manner—the style that would naturally be adopted by a gentleman and man of
the world."

THE ARMIES OF THE GREAT POWERS.

BY LASCELLES WRAXALL.
Post 8vo, 10s. 6d.
*⁎* "The object of this work is to furnish a correct and detailed account of the
amount and nature of the forces belonging to the Great Powers. At a glance
may be perceived the strength of the respective armies, and characteristics of
their troops, their drill, discipline, and uniform. Although Mr. Wraxall treats
more especially of the Armies of France, Austria, England, Russia, and Prussia,
he has not omitted those of Sardinia, Turkey, and Anglo-India. The value of
such a manual can hardly be over-estimated at the present moment."
SATURDAY REVIEW.—"To all whose interest in the noble art of national self-
defence is as real as it should be, a compilation like Mr. Wraxall's has
considerable value."

SIN: ITS CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES.

AN ATTEMPT TO INVESTIGATE THE ORIGIN, NATURE, EXTENT, AND RESULTS
OF MORAL EVIL.
A Series of Lent Lectures.

BY THE REV. HENRY CHRISTMAS, M.A., F.R.S.

Post 8vo, cloth, price 5s.
CIVIL SERVICE GAZETTE.—"These lectures are learned, eloquent, and earnest,
and though they approach the 'limits of religious thought,' they do not
transgress those limits; and they present the reader with a comprehensive
review, based upon revelation, of the nature, extent, and consequences of
moral evil or sin, both in this world and the world to come."
 HUNGARY AND TRANSYLVANIA
In 1862.

BY PROFESSOR D. T. ANSTED, M.A., F.R.S., &c.

ATHENÆUM, June 16, 1862.—"Professor Ansted's descriptions are written with a
neatness attesting the accuracy of a scientific observer's eyes. His volume is
one of both value and entertainment: a book calculated to turn the thoughts of
tourists down the Danube."
DAILY NEWS, Sept. 8, 1862.—"We have read many books on Hungary, but not
one which, in so brief a compass and on so many different aspects of the land
and its inhabitants, conveys an equal amount of information in so satisfactory
a style."

MEMORABLE EVENTS OF MODERN

HISTORY.
BY J. G. EDGAR.
In One closely-printed post 8vo volume, with Illustrations, price 6s. 6d.
*⁎* A volume narrating the History of the Principal Events of Modern Europe,
and calculated to serve at once as an educational book, as a reading book, and
a book of reference.

PRESS, Feb. 2, 1862.—"Mr. Edgar is always pure, elegant, and vigorous. He

seems to have received from nature, what men vainly strive to acquire from
art, the power of writing narrative easily, clearly, and forcibly. Goldsmith
possessed this faculty, and Southey undoubtedly possessed it; and we know of
few contemporary writers in the English language who possess it to an equal
degree with Mr. Edgar. The book is a capital one, and fully up to the higher
level of educational literature, of which the rising generation has the benefit.
We confidently recommend it to the public, and wish it, for their sakes, all the
success which it deserves."
OBSERVER, Feb. 23, 1862.—"A most acceptable and useful present for the
youth of both sexes."

 A COURSE
OF

ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS,
FOR THE USE OF CANDIDATES FOR ADMISSION INTO EITHER OF THE
MILITARY COLLEGES; OF APPLICANTS FOR APPOINTMENTS IN THE HOME OR
INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE; AND OF MATHEMATICAL STUDENTS GENERALLY.

BY PROFESSOR J. R. YOUNG.
In One closely-printed Volume, 8vo, pp. 648, price 12s.

ATHENÆUM, March 9, 1861.—"In the work before us he has digested a

complete Elementary Course by aid of his long experience as a teacher and a
writer; and he has produced a very useful book.... Mr. Young has not allowed
his own taste to rule the distribution, but has adjusted his parts with the skill
of a veteran."
THE LONDON REVIEW, April 6, 1861.—"Mr. Young is well known as the author of
undoubtedly the best treatise on the 'Theory of Equations' which is to be found
in our language—a treatise distinguished by originality of thought, great
learning, and admirable perspicuity. Nor are these qualities wanting in the
work which we are reviewing.... Considering the difficulty of the task which Mr.
Young has undertaken to discharge, and the extent of useful knowledge he
has succeeded in imparting accurately and lucidly in so small a compass, we
can without hesitation commend this work to the public as by far the best
elementary course of mathematics in our language."

ANOTHER BLOW FOR LIFE.

BY GEORGE GODWIN, ESQ., F.R.S.,
Author of "London Shadows, Town Swamps, and Social Bridges," Editor of
"The Builder," &c., &c.
ASSISTED BY JOHN BROWN.
 WITH FORTY-ONE ILLUSTRATIONS.
In fcap. 4to, cloth.

OBSERVER, Jan. 3, 1864.—"This book should be studied by all who have a grain
of kindly feeling towards their poorer neighbours, and every one should strive
to find some means of alleviating the misery it points out. The illustrations with
which the book is liberally supplied will go far to make the subject better
understood."
BELL'S MESSENGER, Jan. 16, 1864.—"'Another Blow for Life' is a great and good
book, and does honour to its author's head and heart."
THE READER, Jan. 9, 1864.—"The author deserves honour for the persevering
and indomitable energy with which he has faithfully chronicled all those
material dilapidations and filth which are the inevitable concomitants of moral
decadence, and we hope his book will fall into the thankful hands of every
thinking man and escape the too frequent fate of books chronicling
disagreeable truths which come unpleasantly, 'between the wind and our
nobility.'"

CRITICAL NOTICES.
FIELD, July 28, 1863.—"The book contains nearly 600 pages of valuable matter,
which reflects great credit on its author, and, owing to its practical details, the
result of deep scientific research, deserves a place in the library of medical,
veterinary, and non-professional readers."
ATHENÆUM, August 4, 1860.—"Mr. Mayhew has written several works on the
diseases, with details of the anatomy, of animals. His accuracy is great. The
chapters are well arranged. Each speaks of the diseases of one part of the
equine frame. The illustrations to these are excellent. The operations are
accurately described; not the slightest useful hint is forgotten; while to render
this portion more intelligible, diagrams of the parts to be operated on, with
views of the instruments, are generally given; and the prescriptions, as stated
in the title-page, are made out in English. The causes, symptoms, and
treatment of diseases are briefly recorded in a summary, forming an appendix.
We conclude by commending Mr. Mayhew's book, especially to every possessor
of the most useful of the 'servants of man.'"
ILLUSTRATED NEWS.—"The great mass of the illustrations are wonderfully
faithful, and they are so varied and interesting that we would undertake to get
rid of the most confirmed bore that ever pressed heavily on mankind for a
good two hours by only handing him the book, and directing his attention to
them. It is a well-known fact that grooms only remember the names of four or
five diseases, and are sadly indiscriminate in their knowledge of symptoms.
This book furnishes at once the bane and the antidote, as the drawings show
the horse not only suffering from every kind of disease, but in the different
stages of it, while the alphabetical summary at the end gives the cause,
symptoms, and treatment of each."
GLOBE.—"Every gentleman who possesses or cares for horses, would do well to
keep this book in his house."
ERA.—"We advisedly say that 'The Illustrated Horse Doctor' is the very best
book of the kind which we know; and what gives it an especial charm is, that
the author so thoroughly sympathises with the noble animal which he
describes. Without pretending to go into any analysis of this valuable work, we
at once pronounce it as scientific, yet intelligible; informing, yet highly
amusing; acceptable to the profound horse-doctor, yet the work of all others
for the bookshelves in every gentleman's sanctum."
ARMY AND NAVY GAZETTE.—"Mr. Mayhew's volume will, we imagine, meet with a
hearty welcome. It is just such a good practical work on the Veterinary Art as
most of us horse-using (and not unfrequently, we fear, abusing) Englishmen
have long felt the need of.—We must not conclude our remarks without
commenting on the numerous wood-cuts with which the volume is
embellished. It is truly, as it professes to be, an 'Illustrated Horse Doctor.'"
ILLUSTRATED TIMES.—"Many years ago the writer of these lines was incidentally
'read up' in horse literature, and a good deal in the way of sporting people. His
reading and observation in that way have been very pleasantly recalled by this
model book. We need not waste words about this admirable volume—manual,
we were going to say, but it is more of an armful than a handful. It is quite
beyond praise of ours in its completeness and general excellence, concerned
as it is our lot to be with the study instead of the steed. But we showed it to a
friend of ours (living at Horsely-down), who spends his mornings at Tattersall's
and his afternoons at the Alhambra, and his evenings at Astley's, and his
criticism was conveyed in these emphatic words. 'Sir,' said he (his name is
Ryder), 'it is the Buchan's Domestic Medicine of the stable; the mantle of
Bucephalus has fallen upon Mr. Mayhew.' Every way the work is interesting,
and it is beautifully got up; the paper and print being the best we have seen
for some time."
