Or, Family Cares and Family Joys. By FREDERIKA BREMER.
HOWITT. 2d Edition, revised and corrected, 2 vols. post 8vo. 21s. boards.

"Miss Bremer possesses, beyond any other living writer of her class, the power of realising to the imagination every individual she introduces. There is scarcely a single person in her multitudinous groups that does not stand out palpably in his living lineaments. The minute fidelity of her details, the vivid distinctness with which every mental struggle and secret emotion is traced; the moral beauty and womanly purity which steadily illuminate her narrative; and the calm Christian philosophy out of which all its earnest lessons of truth, and justice, and resignation, and serene wisdom, are drawn, must receive implicit admiration on all hands."-EXAMINER.

HOWITT (MARY). THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTERS, Including NINA. By FREDERIKA BREMER. Translated by MARY HOWITT. 3 vols. post 8vo. 31s. 6d. boards.

"The President's Daughters' is every way worthy of the author of The Home' and 'The Neighbours.' It is distinguished by the same life-like and truthful sketches, the same distinctness of individual portraitures, a power of description, whether of character or of scenery, which, without being elaborate, is at once true to nature, and in har mony with the human mind, and a purity of thought and feeling arising not from ignorance of the actual world, but from the supremacy of those better principles which constitute the glory of our nature."-ECLECTIC REVIEW, Nov.

Or, the Throne, the Church, and the People. By INGEMANN. Translated from the Danish
by JANE FRANCES CHAPMAN. 3 vols. post 8vo. 31s. 6d. boards.

"This tale introduces us into new and fertile ground,-Denmark in the thirteenth century. The characters are
all drawn from Danish history: the story itself is full of incident and adventure. The author boldly plunges at once
in medias res; and we recollect few novels in which the attention of the reader is more quickly interested, or more
completely absorbed. The characters are struck off with a shrewd intelligence, and contrast admirably; and the
whole tale is original, lively, and varied in no common degree, reminding us of the chivalric spirit of Scott."
