RETROSPECTION: a TALE. BY MRS. TAYLOR, of ONGar. Third Edition. In Foolscap 8vo., with a beautiful frontispiece. price 6s. boards.

"We give our very cordial recommendation of her present volume, as replete with the most instructive lessons, both to young and old, and in every way worthy of the writer's well-earned reputation."

Eclectic Review, March, 1822. THE FAMILY MANSION: a TALE. By MRS. TAYLOR, of ONGAR. Fourth Edition. In Foolscap 8vo., with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. 6d. boards.

"If we had the least reason for suspecting that the opinion we have on former occasions expressed was too partial or too complimentary, the present work would have satisfied us, and we think it will satisfy our readers, that we have not over estimated Mrs. Taylor's literary pretensions. We are not told whether the Family Mansion' is a fiction or no fiction:' but whether the story be real or not, it is all true-true in the most important sense; it has the truth of painting and the truth of sentiment."

Eclectic Review, April, 1820. RECIPROCAL DUTIES of PARENTS and CHILDREN. By MRS. TAYLOR. Fourth Edition. In foolscap 8vo., with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. boards.

"The same soundness of understanding, the same simplicity of mind and correct feeling, as obtained for Mrs. Taylor's first unostentatious volume an instant yet permanent popularity, have been displayed throughout the series to which this may be considered as belonging; and it is no small merit to have fairly won that popularity by means so free from stratagem.-Mrs. Taylor writes with the air of a person who thoroughly knows what she undertakes to impart, and who has but one object in view in writing it, namely to make others the wiser and better for her experience and reflection." Eclectic Review, April, 1819. MATERNAL SOLICITUDE for a DAUGHTER'S BEST INTERESTS. By MRS. TAYLOR. Eleventh Edition, with a beautiful frontispiece. Price 5s. boards.

"It is replete with sound and rational piety, judicious remark, and right feeling. The fifth, eighth, eleventh, and last two Essays may, perhaps, be referred to as amongst the most interesting; but all are characterised by a genuine earnestness of desire to contribute to the welfare of the person addressed, which gives them a charm and a force that no writings can possess, the sole objects of which have been evidently either gain or glory." British, Review, Feb. 1816.

PRACTICAL HINTS to YOUNG FEMALES, on the Duties of a Wife, a Mother, and a Mistress of a Family. By MRS. TAYLOR. Eleventh Edition. In foolscap 8vo. with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. boards.

"The duties of a wife, a mother, and a mistress of a family, are admirably pourtrayed and most successfully urged in this little volume. It is a book that will be placed in the hands of those who are to fill those enviable situations, with the utmost advantage. The short religious portion at the conclusion is warm, affectionate, and just, but not tinged with the slightest spirit of fanaticism." British Critic, May, 1815.

THE PRESENT OF A MISTRESS to a YOUNG SERVANT, consisting of friendly Advice and real Histories. By MRS. TAYLOR. Seventh Edition. With a frontispiece, price 3s. 6d. boards.

"We are happy to announce another publication of this judicious and useful writer, particularly as we think that the present will be found among the most valuable of Mrs. Taylor's productions. The size of the volume is attractive; and the style, though correct, is so unaffected and simple, that every word will be understood by the class of readers for which it is designed." Monthly Review, March, 1816.

CORRESPONDENCE between a MOTHER and her DAUGHTER at SCHOOL, By MRS. TAYLOR, Author of 'Maternal Solicitude,' &c., and MISS TAYLOR, Author of 'Display,' &c. Fifth Edition. In foolscap 8vo., with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. boards.

"We have always closed the volumes produced by each of these ladies under the influence of the most pleasing impressions. In the work before us they have united their efforts, and have formed not only a very interesting, but a very useful work. We heartily recommend the volume to our female readers, matronly and juvenile." Monthly Review, Oct. 1817. DISPLAY: a TALE. BY JANE TAYLOR, one of the Authors of' Original Poems for Infant Minds.' Tenth Edition. With a beautiful frontispiece, price 6s. boards.

"The Author of Display comes the nearest to Miss Edgeworth in point of style, and skill in developing characters, of any writer that has yet appeared, but her production is distinguished by features of its own. We never met with any composition so completely and beautifully simple both in sentiment and style, which at the same time interested us so strongly by the naïveté of its descriptions, sometimes heightened by the most delicate touches of humour and pathos; by the heart that pervades the narrative, and the air of reality which is thrown over the characters."

Eclectic Review, Aug. 1815. ESSAYS IN RHYME, on Morals and Manners. By JANE TAYLOR, Author of 'Display,' &c. Fourth Edition. 6s. bds.

"We have seldom met with a volume of poetry that bore more strikingly the impress of native thought, or that supplied the mind more richly with materials for deep reflection." Eclectic Review, Sept. 1816.

"These two little volumes may be safely recommended to readers of every description. They will confirm the sentiments of those who are already well disposed; and may reclaim even the abandoned from an irregular course of life. The Judge here, at the same time, speaks as if seated on the bench, and convinces his readers with the arguments of a Divine, and the affection of a Parent." Gent. Mag. Dec. 1816.

"Of its favourable reception by the public, if patronage be apportioned to desert, we can have little doubt. Nothing, we think, can be more simple, or better adapted, as far as it goes, to the direction of the youthful mind in the course of Christian piety and order than the work now before us." British Critic, April, 1820.

"We cannot afford any more space for remarks on this little interest ing and useful volume; but we should fail in our duty to the public, if we did not recommend every parent to make it one of the Lecture Books of his little family; and if he happen to have no time for the perusal of it himself, as his day is at present laid out, we can assure him that it will amply reward the effort if he rises two hours earlier on the first morning after he has procured the book, to study and digest its contents."

British Review, March, 1822. RACHEL; a TALE. Second Edition. In foolscap 8vo., with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. boards.

"We were at a loss under what head to class this excellent little piece, and had some thoughts at first of giving it a place under the head of romance; but upon second consideration the book appeared to be too good for such an allotment; and not knowing well how to announce it, we have mentioned it here as admirably calculated for female education."

THE AUTHORESS: a TALE. By the Author of Rachel.' In foolscap 8vo., with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. boards.

"We feel not the smallest hesitancy in saying, that the intention of the author of this little book is full as good as that of Cervantes; and though the plan is necessarily of a more simple character than that which was employed in correcting the abuse of the old spirit of romance, the tale itself is calculated to produce equally good effects in exposing the fooleries of modern novelists.We recommend the volume very strongly, not only to all readers of novels, but to young persons in general, who will learn from it how to discriminate real and artificial life, the feelings of nature, and the representations of art." New Monthly Mag. Aug. 1819. PRUDENCE and PRINCIPLE: a TALE. By the Author of' Rachel.' Second Edition. In foolscap 8vo., with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. 6d. boards.

"The title of this book sufficiently announces the contrast which the writer intends to exhibit; and we may add, that the tale is conducted with simplicity, while it has sufficient interest to attract the attention and to influence the feelings and conduct of young readers."
