WALPOLE'S UNRIVALLED LETTERS:
THE ONLY COMPLETE EDITION.
THE
LETTERS OF HORACE WALPOLE,
EARL OF ORFORD,
CONTAINING
NEARLY THREE HUNDRED LETTERS,
Now first published from the originals, forming an uninterrupted series,
from the year 1735 to 1797; containing his letters to George Montagu,
Esq.; Sir Morace Mann; Richard West, Esq.; Lady Craven; Gray (the
poet;) Hon. H. Seymour Conway; John Chute, Esq.; Sir David Dalrymple;
Rev. William Mason; Lady Hervey; the Earl of Hertford; Richard
Bentley, Esq.; Earl of Strafford; Mrs. Hannah More; David Hume,
Esq., &c., &c., with a splendid Portrait of the Author, in Four beautiful
Volumes.
“Besides its unrivalled beauty and brilliancy, the collection has the more important
merit of being the liveliest picture of manners, and the best epitome of political history
that not only this, but any country possesses.”
—Quarterly Review.
“No general collection of the letters of Horace Walpole has ever been made which
will at all compare in fulness with the present work.”
—North Am. Review.
“Horace Walpole may decidedly claim preeminence for ease and liveliness of expression,
terseness of remark, and felicity of narration above almost all the epistolary
writers of Great Britain.”
—Quarterly Review.
“Walpole's Letters are full of wit, pleasantry, and information, and written with
singular neatness and sprightliness.”
—Edinburg Review.
“One of the most useful and important publication that has issued from the press
for the last quarter of a century. It is illustrated with notes, drawn up with consummate
tact. Such a work, so enriched with all that is necessary to render it complete,
is one of the most valuable that any lover of sterling English literature can
possess.”
—Sun.
“As a book of reference, this edition of Walpole's Letters must henceforth take
its place among the memoirs and histories of the time. As a book of gossip, it is
perhaps the completest work of the kind in the English language.”
—The Times.
“One of the very best works of its class, if not unique, in the English language;
a work full of information, full of anecdote, and full of amusement; equally fit for
the library of the scholar, the dilettante, the artist, the statesman, and the general
reader.”
—Literary Gazette.
“Walpole's Letters are unequalled in our language; delightful in themselves, and
a most amusing and instructive commentary on the history of parties, and of the
country, from 1735 to 1797.”
—Athenæum.
“It is the only complete edition of the incomparable letters of this `prince of
epistolary writers,' as he has been justly called; and the letters themselves are
arranged in chronological order.”
—Dublin Evening Mail.
“Those who have never yet read Horace Walpole's letters—and they must be still
in their teens—have much enjoyment before them; those who are familiar with his
style, including all who deserve to read, will here renew the pleasure they have so
often experienced.”

COOPER'S NAVAL HISTORY;
A NEW EDITION.
A NAVAL HISTORY
OF
THE UNITED STATES,
BY J. FENIMORE COOPER, ESQ.
In Two handsome Volumes, bound in embossed cloth.
A new Edition, revised and corrected, with an Index to the volumes.
“If there was one man before all others, whom we could have selected for this
task, that man was Mr. Cooper. In all things relative to the Navy he writes with
enthusiasm. The ocean is his element. With the glorious career of the service in
which his youth was passed, he takes a laudable pride, and he betrays in every page
the earnest desire of his heart to make its merits known to the world. In dwelling
upon the achievements of our young Navy, the pure American fire of his genius once
more blazes out as brightly as ever. In the interest which he has thrown around
the cruises and combats of our ships of war, we trace the master hand which drew
the Pilot; nor will many chapters in this work yield in point of romantic interest
to any of his sea-novels. Many of the naval actions of the Revolution, and especially
the cruisings of Paul Jones, and the desperate fight between the Bon-Homme
Richard and the Serapis, have all the richness of romance, with the method and
accuracy of strict history.”
—American Traveller.
“The History of the Navy of the United States from the earliest period of its
existence, in the dawn of the Revolution, through all its discouragements, reverses,
trials, and glory, was a task worthy of the author, who had established a reputation,
as a describer of nautical events, superior to that of any other living writer. The
task has been so performed as to leave nothing to desire. No work of higher interest
has been published in the United States for many years. The glories of American
victories are fully portrayed, whilst, at the same time, care is taken, in every case,
to exhibit a fair and impartial estimate of the strength and appointments of antagonists'
vessels or fleets. In this way the work acquires the credit due to a grave
and impartial history.”
—Baltimore Chronicle.
“We have perused this history with no little curiosity and with great interest.
Considering the brief existence of the American marine, its annals are more eventful,
more romantic, and more various, than any in existence. Nothing can surpass
the energy which enabled the United States to form an effective navy, at a time
when they could hardly be said to have had a political existence, and when they
were beset by greater difficulties than any which an infant nation had ever yet to
encounter. This consideration has animated the present historian, whose enthusiasm
seems to be kindled by his office of chronicler, even more than when he formerly
sought inspiration from the same source in constructing his famous stories of the
sea. Altogether this history is a valuable one, and cannot fail to pass into universal
circulation. The incidents which took place in the naval war with Tripoli, are
grander and more heroic than any thing in the circle of romance, and are detailed
with all the vigour and animation of Mr. Cooper's genius.”
— British Naval and
Military Magazine.

THE SPEECHES
OF
HENRY LORD BROUGHAM,
Upon Questions relating to Public Rights, Duties and Interests,
WITH HISTORICAL INTRODUCTIONS;
In Two handsome Volumes, bound in embossed cloth, or law sheep.
CONTENTS.
Military Flogging—Queen Caroline—Libel on the Durham Clergy—
Dissertation on the Law of Libel—Commerce and Manufactures—Agricultural
and Manufacturing Distress—Army Estimates—Holy Alliance—
Slavery—Law Reform—Parliamentary Reform—Education—Poor Laws—
Scotch Parliamentary and Burgh Reform — Scotch Marriage and
Divorce Bill — Establishment of the Liverpool Mechanic's Institute —
Speech on Neutral Rights — Affairs of Ireland — Speech at the Grey
Festival — Change of Ministry in 1834 — Business of Parliament — Maltreatment
of the North American Colonies — Speech on the Civil List —
Privilege of Parliament.
“The period embraced by these two volumes extends over a space of thirty years,
from 1810 to 1840, a most exciting period, during all of which Mr. Brougham, or Lord
Brougham, played a most distinguished part, and upon the character and events of
which he exerted no mean influence.
“In brief, the biographical ligaments which bind together the subjects so ably
handled in these volumes, impart compactness, strength, and beauty to the whole,
and the head of a family who introduces such works to his sons and daughters,
secures to them an inheritance which must endure to them for the whole period of
existence.”
—National Intelligencer.
“Who does not desire to possess all the speeches of this great philanthropist on
the subject of the poor laws, the education of the people, the law of libel, and other
great topics of universal concernment? In the two large volumes before us, all these
proud efforts of human learning, genius, and intellect, are embodied—each speech
being preceded by a historical introduction of the occasion and circumstances under
which it was delivered. No English library will be complete without these volumes.”
—New York Commercial.
“These volumes contain a mine of literary and political wealth strongly characteristic,
both in manner and matter, of this great original genius. The independence,
the vigour, the manliness of thought, which is here displayed, and the stores of
wisdom and learning with which the volumes abound, cannot fail to secure for their
author a more full appreciation than he has in this country especially enjoyed.”
—Madisonian.
THE ECCLESIASTICAL AND POLITICAL HISTORY
OF THE
POPES OF ROME,
DURING THE SIXTEENTH AND SEVENTEENTH CENTURIES,
BY LEOPOLD RANKE,
PROFESSOR IN THE UNIVERSITY OF BERLIN;
Translated from the German by Sarah Austin. In Two Volumes.
“To the high qualifications of profound research, careful accuracy, great fairness
and candour, with a constant reference to the genius and spirit of each successive
age, common to the historians of Germany, Mr. Ranke adds the charm of a singularly
lucid, terse and agreeable style.”
—Quarterly Review.

THE WORKS OF MRS. HEMANS,
COMPLETE;
INCLUDING A MEMOIR BY HER SISTER,
AND AN ESSAY ON HER GENIUS, BY MRS. SIGOURNEY.
A new and beautiful Edition, printed on fine paper, with a Portrait of
the Authoress, handsomely bound in embossed cloth, or in calf and
morocco, extra, with gilt edges, forming a beautiful and appropriate present
for ladies; in 7 vols. royal 12mo.
This is the only complete edition of the works of Mrs. Hemans, and
contains many new poems, together with other matter not embraced in any
other edition of her works.
“Of the poems of Mrs. Hemans it is unnecessary for us to speak. They have been
too long known, too much admired, and too widely circulated to need our commendation;
but we must express gratitude to the publishers for the elegant and complete
manner in which this edition is issued, and express the hope that it may be the fire-side
companion of all who love nature and a pure unaffected expression of the kindest
affection of a heart imbued with the pure love which springs from true religion.”
—Boston Times.
A Third Edition of the Biography and Poetical Remains
OF THE LATE
MARGARET MILLER DAVIDSON,
BY WASHINGTON IRVING;
In One Volume, handsomely bound in embossed cloth.
“The volume here presented is very attractive. The Biography by Irving derives
a great interest from the affectionate dignity with which a mother, not unworthy of
such daughters, seems to have preserved the record of the development of the powers
of mind, and graces of character, of her gifted and fated-child; while the prose and
poetical remains attest the taste and talent which a premature grave snatched from
the world.”
—New York American.
THE POETICAL REMAINS OF THE LATE
LUCRETIA M. DAVIDSON,
Collected and Arranged by her Mother,
WITH A BIOGRAPHY BY MISS SEDGWICK,
In One handsome Volume, to match Irving's Biography of Margaret.
“We have read the contents of these volumes with serene and sober delight. They
possess a charm which, to us, is irresistible, and which forbids the intrusion of any
other feeling than one of respect, of wonder, or of love. The pieces in the volume
now before us, (which is printed and bound in a style to correspond with the Remains
of Margaret,) are mostly tinctured with the hue of melancholy; there are few of
them that do not convey a moral; and many appear to have been written under the
influence of serious impression and deep devotional feelings.”
