'' This is a useful book, informed witli lively feeling and sound judgment. It contains an exhibition of Italian views of matters, social and political, by an Italian who has learned to speak through English thoughts as well as English words. Particularly valuable are the sketches of recent Italian history; for the prominent characters are delineated in a cordial and sympa thetic spirit, yet free from enthusiastic ideas, and with unsparing discrimina tion...The criticisms on " The Past" will richly repay perusal; it is, how ever, on " The Present" of Italy that the main interest of the book resides. This volume does not merely possess an interest similar to that of contemporary works; it supplies a desideratum, and is well adapted to aid the English reader in forming a just estimate of the great events now in progress in Italy. Not the least wonderful part of the book is the entire mastery the author has acquired of our language." — Ex aminer, April.
" This is an exceedingly seasonable, intelligent, and interesting work." — Daily News.
" Our author has an earnest, nay en thusiastic, love and admiration of his native country; with the ability and eloquence to render his subject very interesting and attractive."~.Mbrm'ng- Advertiser.
"This important work treats the literature and politics of Italy in a masterly manner, and will repay ten fold the labour of perusal."— Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Paper.
The following notices refer to the first volume of the work: — " The work is admirable, useful, in structive. I am delighted to find an Italian coming forward with so much noble enthusiasm, to vindicate his country and obtain for it its proper interest in the eyes of Europe. The English is wonderful I never saw any approach to such a style in a foreigner before— as full of beauty in diction as in thought." — Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, Bart.
" I recognise the rare characteristics of genius— a large conception of the topic, a picturesque diction founded on profound thought, and that passionate sensibility which becomes the subject— a subject beautiful as its climate, and inexhaustible as its -soil."— B. Disraeli, Esq., M.P.
" A very rapid and summary resume of the fortunes of Italy from the fall of the Roman Empire to the present moment. — A work of industry and labour, written with a good purpose. — A bird's-eye view of the subject that will revive the recollections of the scholar, and seduce the tyro into a longer course of reading." — Athenreum.
•' This work contains more inform ation on the subject, and more refer ences to the present position of Italy, than we have seen in any recent pro duction." — Foreign Quarterly Review.
" In reference to style, the work before us is altogether extraordinary, as that of a foreigner, and in the higher quality of thought we may commend the author for his acute, and often original, criticism, and his quick per ception of the grand and beautiful in his native literature."— Prescott (in the Noi'th American Review.)
" The work before us consists of a continuous parallel of the political and literary history of Italy from the earli est period of the middle ages to the present time. The author not only penetrates the inner relations of those dual appearances of national life, but possesses the power of displaying them to the reader with great clearness and effect. We remember no other work in which the civil conditions and literary achievements of a people have been blended in such a series of living pic tures, representing successive periods of history."— Algemeine Zeitung.
"An earnest and eloquent work."— Examiner.
"A work ranking distinctly in the class of belles lettres, and well deserv ing of a library place in England." — Literary Gazette.
" A work warmly admired by excel lent judges." — Taits Magazine.
" An admirable work written with great power and beauty."— Prof. Long fellow. (Poets and Poetry of Europe.)

The Principles of V'f HIT. her Divine Revelations, and a Voice TO MANKIND. By and through ANDREW JACKSON DAVIS, the " Poughkcepsie Seer," and " Clairvoyant." 2 vols. large 8vo. cloth, 18s. [Now ready.
+** The Work consists of 800 pages, including a history of its produc tion, with a Biographical Sketch, and Portrait (engraved on Steel) of the Author.
" For some time past the most extra ordinary interest has been excited in New York by a series of lectures de livered by a Mr. A. J. Davis, while in a state of mesmeric sleep The lectures, though thus delivered while Mr. Davis is sound asleep, occupy from an hour to an hour and a half in the delivery, and are enunciated with a fluency and ease never surpassed by the most accomplished speaker. They embrace every variety of scientific sub ject, cosmology, ethnology, astronomy, geology, physiology, languages, &c. What makes the matter the more ex traordinary is the fact, that on all the subjects on which Mr. Davis lectures when in a state of mesmeric sleep, he is profoundly ignorant in his WBJdng moments." — London Observer.
" I am fully prepared to be a witness to the fact of his making correct use of a multitude of technical terms appro priate to the theme of science, which he )s wholly unable to define, in his waking state, and which would naturally occur only to one who had been long familiar with the subjects, and with their pecu liar nomenclature. Indeed, I have been sometimes amused at his bungling attempts, on casually reading the manuscript, even to pronounce accu rately the words, which he utters with entire freedom and correctness in the mesmeric delivery; and which are taken down verbatim by a scribe with a view to ultimate publication. I can also testify that, Having been occasion ally present at some of these lectures, I have heard himVniote Hebrew, Greek, and the Latin languages, of none of which he has the least knowledge in his normal condition. He has also quoted long extracts from the Sanscrit, the substance of which I have been able to verify from a French translation of the t'ed<ts. Whether the same thing exists in an English version I have not learned; but I am entirely confident he has never read it in any translation.
" Taken as a whole, the work is a profound and elaborate discussion of the Philosophy of the L'nirtrie, and for gran deur of conception, soundness of prin ciple, clearness of illustration, order of arrangement and encyclopediacal range of subjects, I know of no work of any single mind that will bear away from it tlit; palm. To every theme the inditing mind approaches with a certain latent consciousness of mastery of all its principles, details, and technicalities; and yet without the least ostentatious displayof superior mental powers." — Dr. But/i, Professor of Hebrew in New York.
" In whatever view the work is regarded, it is a very remarkable pro duction, and will assuredly attract extensive attention here, as it already has in America." — Morning Advertiser.
" The book has excited so much interest in America, that though large, consisting of 800 pages, 900 copies were sold in one week." — Family Herald.
" Viewed as one will, the book is one of the most remarkable literary curi osities ever heard of." — Massachusetts Quarterly Reriew.
" The main idea is skilfully sustained and developed, and there is a great deal in the book that we admire, and have long admired in other connexions." — American Christian Examiner.
" Judged by the usual principles of criticism as the work of an unaided shoemaker, not two-and-twenty years of age, we may safely pronounce it the most surpassing prodigy of literary History."— The Harbinger.
" His (Davis's) demonstrations of the existence of a God and of the immor tality of the soul, are inexpressibly admirable." — A'eir York Sunday Dispatch.
" In saying explicitly that we cannot conceive of a more captivating ami ab sorbing book, (to us, far more so than any novel we Have ever read)— we have no need to express, one way or another, an opinion as to thentpmuburoi quality of the 'Revelations'. To an unbeliever it will be a most delicious and far-reach ing work of imagination, written with a vast background of scientific and philosophical knowledge, while, to the believer, it will be, of course, like con verse with an archangel on the compa rison of other worlds with ours." — Home Journal, written by N. B. Willis.
" I am one of hundreds, who have seen and will testify to multiplied instances of his powers, which will admit of no explanation, save the ex alted and abnormal condition of mind which He claims."— Troy Budget, written by 1,'cv. T. Harris.
" View it in whatever light we may, whether as a production of untainted imagination taking its flight in the rnivur.se of Romance, or as the clear impressions of a mind in that condition Works published by which is analogous to angelic life, it comes to the mind as something which transcends its understanding of possi bilities." — Truth's Telegraph.
" A very wonderful book, exhibiting everywhere a gigantic grasp of thought." —Critic.
" Let our readers distinctly under stand that we do not on any supposition regard this book as common place, or easily explained. Be it fraud, delusion, or mixture,— be it mesmerism, or newly invented communication from the spiritual world, or downright revelation, be it any one of these, or anything else, it is very curious. As soon as the right name is found for it, we will be the first to call, of that name, extraordinary, — very extraordinary." — Athenamm.

Endeavours after the Christian Life. (Second Series.)
By JAMES MARTINEAU. 12mo, 7.?. Grf. cloth.
"Heartily do we welcome a second volume of 'Endeavours after the Christian Life,' because when all that suits not our taste is omitted, we have still left more to instruct, interest, im prove, and elevate, than in almost any other volume with which we are ac quainted AVhatever may be its defects, we regard it as one of the most precious gifts to the religious world in modern times." — Inquirer.
" Mr. Martineau is known, much beyond the limits of his own denomin ation, as a man of great gifts and ac complishments, and his publications have been all marked by subtle and vigorous thought, much beauty of imagination, and certain charms of composition, which are sure to find admirers There is a delicacy and ethereality of ethical sentiment in these discourses which must commend them, and we may safely say that many of the orthodox in all departments might receive from them intellectual stimulus, moral polish, and in some moods religious edification," — Noncon formist.
"One of the most interesting, attrac tive, and most valuable series of essays which the literature of Christianity has received from priest or layman for many a year.
" Volumes that have in them both intellect and true eloquence, and which satisfy the understanding while they please the taste and improve the heart.
" When we say that these Discourses are eminently practical, we mean that i they are adapted, not only for man in the abstract— to teach the duties of Christianity everywhere — but also with j reference to the circumstances of society— of the age and country in which our lot is cast." — Critic.

By CLEMENS BRENTANO. With an Introduction aad a Biographical Notice of the Author, by T. W. APPELL, Translated from the German. Fcp. 8vo. gilt edges, 2s. 6d.
" None of the poets of the Romantic School of Germany, with perhaps the exception of Novalis, have identified themselves with nature as Brentano has done. He possesses in a wonderful degree all their beauties and eccentrici ties, and is, nevertheless, one of its most distinguished members." — Intro duction.
" Though, as we have observed, the subject of this little story is full of exciting incident, yet we may fairly agree with the translator when he says, "the whole is kept so unaffectedly noble and simply true, that, at the present time, when authors are vying with each other in displaying in their works the most violent contrasts, and in portraying the most vulgar and pernicious realities dug up trom the very dregs of large cities, this little work stands as a beautiful model in litera ture." — Manchester E.rnminer.
" This tale is one of Brentano's most perfect compositions, presenting all his poetical and imaginative beauties, without the extravagance that too often deformed them. It is a right wholesome fiction, and at this time, when a taste for unwholesome romances so much abounds, it appears opportunely to show the public by contrast the plea sure of a pure creation, such as this, compared witli the unnatural extrava- ganzes for which there is such a demand." — Critic.
"A most touching tale." — Noncon formist.
" Brentano's story of ' The brave Caspar and the fair Annerl,' is one whicli lias notably taken its stand among the romances that give a por traiture of lower life in Germany, and like most of the works of its accom plished author, ranks high in public estimation there. We do not think it likely to lose any of its popularity by its English dress. It is a melancholy and very touching story. Those who are unacquainted with the writings of Brentano will find a good account of them, together with a short biography of the author, in the introduction."— Ejrtiininer.
" A little story worthy to take rank with Auerbach's Village Tales and other delineations of the peasant life of Germany, which have lately been received with so much favour in Eng land. Its author is as yet scarcely known here; we therefore feel grateful to the translator both for his having put into an English dress a charming little tale, and also for introducing to an English audience one whose name perhaps many of them had never before met with, notwithstanding that his family have been rendered illustrious by their connexion with genius. The little tale before us is one of Brentano's latest works, and was published at Berlin in 1H35. It is evidently his most finished production, and contains passages which will find an echo in all hearts. In the words of his biographer, in this story Brentano's muse is dis- Works pubUnhed by in her fairest aspect, and entire ly divested of his usual extravagant fancies. The delineation of the tale recals to one's memory the ingenious arabesque characters in the M.S.S. of the middle ages, and indeed many of the details are really taken from popu lar tradition. But the whole is kept unaffectedly noble and simply true. VVe must not make extracts from this little volume, but can honestly say that it is admirably adapted for a Christmas Present or New Year's gift." — Westmin ster and Foreign Quarterly Review.
Political Economy, and the Philosophy of Government.
A Series of Essays selected from the works of M. DE SISMONDI. With an Historical Notice of his Life and Writings by M. MIGNET. Trans lated from the French, and illustrated by Extracts from an unpublished Memoir, and from M. de Sismondi's private Journals and Letters, to which is added a List of his Works, and a preliminary Essay, by the Translator. 8vo. cloth, 12s.
" In this country the views of Sisrnon- di, long derided, and long kept down, have lately achieved a signal triumph, and are still advancing for the amelio ration of social ills The essays embody Sismondi's settled views on Political Economy, and on the true policy which should animate a Govern ment After having studied more deeply than most men, the science of Government and the speculations of Political Philosophy, he settled down into the conviction that the principles of Christianity were as applicable to the life of nations as to that of indivi duals, and that the happiness of the people would be best promoted by ob serving them Besides the essays the volume contains many curious illus trations of the Life of Sismondi In an ingenious preliminary essay by the translator, the views of Sismondi are applied to our social condition at the present time. The volume is alto gether admirably produced, and, we think, is entitled to the earnest consi deration of all persons who take an interest in social politics."— Britannin.
" The work is admirably translated. It has all the vigour of original com position. The preliminary notice by the translator is replete with enlight ened ideas. We heartily commend the volume to all who feel an interest in the great social and political problems which must soon be solved and adjust ed, lest England is reduced to the state of Ireland."— Douglas Jen-old's Xeu-t.
" Few recent writers on Political Economy have claims on our attention equal to those of Sismondi. In England he is best known as an historian, but he is no less entitled to higfh reputation as a sound and thoughtful expounder of the social sciences We cordially re commend this volume, as forming a most pleasant introduction to the study of the sciences of which it treats. It is both valuable in itself and peculiarly well timed." — Atlas, "A writer of first-rate merit in history and politics, and one whose sympathy with the poor and discern ment of the true good of men and of nations must give weight to all his moral convictions, concerning the right and wrong of our results."— Prospective Review* " We should like that these essays should have a wide circulation, and that the tone of pure benevolence which pervades them should thrill the hearts of cold-blooded economists with tenderer feelings of commiseration than usually mingle with their frigid calculations. There can be no question as to the evils he so powerfully exposes being directly caused by the reckless application of the principles he would entirely discard.
" They will amply rep.ly a careful reading, as each is a masterly discussion of the most prominent questions rela ting to our social condition."— Noncon formist.

Dr. Ulrici boldly claims for him the rank of an emi nently Christian author The pre sent work is the least German of all German books, and contains remark able novelty in its views of the subject and the arrangement of its topics. The plan adopted by Dr. Ulrici of contem plating each play in the light of a central idea is especially deserving of all praise...We recommend the entire criticism to the perusal of the judicious reader." — Athenteum.
" We welcome this work as a valu able accession to Shaksperian litera ture. It is the principal object of Dr. Ulrici's criticisms of the several plays, to trace and bring to light the funda mental and vivifying idea of each. In this difficult task we think he has been eminently successful We can not dismiss this very valuable work, which breathes a tone of pure and ex alted morality, derived from a mind truly religious, and whose holy and chastening influence expresses itself throughout, without remarking how much we admire the excellent manner in which it is translated." — Inquirer.
