OLD FRIENDS in a New Dress; or select FABLES, in Verse. Third Edition. To which is now added, a Secoud Part, containing seventy-eight additional Fables, and embellished with a beautiful Frontispiece. 12mo. Price 6s. neatly half-bound.

We select the following valuable testimonials from amongst many others equally satisfactory, regarding the former editions of this little work.

"It is the best publication of the kind which I have seen in an English dress, and it cannot fail of being creditable to the author, as well as beneficial to youth. I think there is much useful novelty thrown into the work. The Fables are made, with great judgment, to conclude happily; they are rationally told, with intelligible circumstances connecting the different parts, and the verse is smooth, correct, and well varied.”—Lindley Murray.

"We consider them of the first class in the department of Fable, and this Poem (the Belly and the Limbs), as one of the most finished performances of the kind since the time of our favourite Gay."-Morning Paper.

For equally favourable notices of the present enlarged edition, see the Assistant of Education-La Belle Assemblee-Lady's Monthly Museum-Lady's Monthly Magazine - Literary Chronicle — Eclectic Review-Monthly Magazine - English Gentleman-Evangelical Magazine-Imperial Museum - Sunday School TeacherScripture Magazine, &c. &c.

Illustrated by numerous Examples, on Nine large and elegantly engraved Copper Plates. By THOMAS OXLEY, Teacher. Demy 4to. Price 6s. boards.

"The Title very truly states the Contents of this valuable publication, and in a Commercial Country like Great Britain, where every attempt to simplify so important an Art as that of l'enmanship, must deserve encouragement; it appears to possess every merit that ought to attach to it, and as one fact will speak more in its behalf than our most laboured eulogy, we shall merely state, that a Professional Gentleman of eminence, whose avocations render it necessary for him to study the most concise and valuable of the many systems-has, after having tried eleven others, given preference to, and now practises the system of Mr. Oxley.”— Vide European Magazine. ·
