The following are but a few of the numerous testimonies of approbation which Mr. Milman's History of the Jews has received in Europe. "The Editors have been most fortunate in engaging on this work the pen of a scholar both classical and scriptural, and so elegant and powerful a writer, as the Poetry Professor Few theological works of this order have appeared either in ours or in any other language. To the Christian reader of every age and sex-and we may add of every sect-it will be a source of the purest delight, instruction, and comfort; and of the infidels who open it merely that they may not remain in ignorance of a work placed by general consent in the rank of an English classic, is there not every reason to hope that many will lay it down in a far different mood ?"-Blackwood's Magazine. "Though the subject is trite, the manner of treating it is such as to command our deepest attention. While the work has truth and sin.plisty enough to fascinate a child, it is written with a masterliness of the subject and an elegance of composition that will please the most refined and fastidious reader."-Edinb. Saturday's Post. "It cannot help being one of the most deep v interesting works of the day; it is inva Juable to the Christian scholar."-Birm. Journal. "The most popular history of the sons of Israel that has hitherto been published. The highest enconiun we can pass upon the work under notice is to urge its purchase, from a ecuviction of its striking and permanent worth."-Berkshire Chronicle. "The work is admirably adapted for the instruction of youth."-Sheffield Courant. "We are acquainted with no work which we can more heartily recommend to our eaders; to the younger part of them especially, we are sure it will prove a most acceptable present."-Literary Gazette. "The narrative of the various and highly interesting events in that period flows cu in a chaste style; and a thorough knowledge of his subject is evident in every page. The work is spirited, well arranged, and full of inforniation, and of a wise and well cultivated religious spirit."-Athenæum. "It is not too much to say, that to the Christian reader, of every age and sex, it will be a source of the purest delight, instruction, and comfort."-Cork Southern Reporter. "It is one of those rare publications which unite all the attraction of novelty, and all the beauties or finished and spirited composition-We cannot close without strongly recom mending the History of the Jews as a work equally entertaining to age and Instructive to youth, alike acceptable to the ignorant, and to be perused with pleasure by the learned." Tyre Mercury. Nos. IV. & V, with copperplate Engravings, and Woodcuts from designs of G. CRUIKSHANK From the 2d London Edition. Neatly bound in canvas 2 vols. "We anticipate a prodigious circulation for this attractive work. It is drawn up with Consummate ability. Indeed, we have seldom perused a work more uniformly interesting its details."-Sun. "We are pleased to find that each succeeding number of the Family Library is worthy of the promise virtually held out by the elegant appearance of the first numbers, and the literary talent which they display. The present is among the most interesting of those that have yet appeared."-Manchester Courier "We are very glad to see that this work has reached a second edition. It is a very delightful piece of biography, and constitutes one of the best works for the Library with which we are acquainted."- Forkshire Gazette. "The first volumes of this work secured for it the attention and patronage of the public; and the continued ability displayed in these succeeding numbers, has gained it an intro duction into most of the family libraries,' not only in England, but in Europe. Suiting itself to the hardship of the times, this work is published in a form and at a price which render it accessible to all classes of the reading public."--Suffolk Herald. "After the merited praise that has already been given to this work, it cannot be supposed that we have any thing particularly original to offer respecting it. We are glad to find that the public have duly appreciated its merits, and that a new edition has been called for." Bristol Mirror. "The great history, always interesting, was never better told. The who work 18 highly creditable to the author and publishers. As it deserves, it has already reached a second edition."-Kent Herald. "So great has been the avidity with which the two frat volumes of the Family Library have been bought up, that it has been found necessary to republish them."-Man. Courier "Of the Life of Napoleon Buonaparte' an unusually large Impression was specdi.y called for; and a new edition, consisting of ten thousand copies, has just appeared. This httle work has been justly lauded by ally ties, for the tone of grave and generous candour which it maintains throughout. It is, in truth, a masterly epitome of all that has been proved to be true, concerning the career of the most extraordinary man of the last thousand years."-Cork Southern Reporter. "It is written with grea. judginent, clearness, and conciseness, and leaves nothing to be wished for, eitner in the matte or manne of its composition."-John Bull. "Judging by the present specimen. the Family Library' must become a favonite to all classes, and benefit society in gener"-Birmingham Journal. "These volumes may safely be comn.itted to the hand of youth, by whom they will be strongly relished for the amazing interest, ariety, and fullness of the details."-Sun. "It seems to us to be a book which must take,' and we heartily wish it all the succes it merits."-Durham County Chronicle. "We never met with more solid information compressed within so small a space; and yet the brevity of the style never runs into obscurity. On the contrary, we should be muck at a loss to point out such another specimen of narrative learness in the whole range of contemporary titerature. Two volumes so rich in information and interest, so much to be devoured by youth, and so worthy to be consulted by the maturest reader, would constitute certainly one or the cheapest of all possible cheap books. Of a work already so widely known it would be ridiculous to multiply specimens in these pages, but one passage will be complained of by no one; Nunc 'egant qui nunquam legebant, quique legebant nune egant. We have readers in regions to which even the cheapest books do not easily find their way-and in many an Indian cantonment the striking paragraphs which follow will se perused for the first time on our pages."-Biackwood's Magazine. "This is a much better book than any other in English on the same subject." Athenanam "We need scirely express the leasure this work has afforded us."-Gent.'s Ang "A publication of such high merit cannot be too extensively circulated." Glasgow Fra Fru "This is a book that must be popular "--Scotsman LIFE OF NELSON. BY ROBERT SOUTHEY, Esq., with a Portrait. No. VI. of the Family Library. "This is the best work that ever came from the pen of the laureate, and it is an excellent specimen of biography."-New England Palladium. "The merits of this work are so well known that it is altogether unnecessary to recommend it to our readers."-New-York Evening Post. "The illustrious subject of this volume, and the reputation of Southey as a biographer, will be a sufficient guarantee for the interest of the work."--New-York Constellation. "Southey's fine and popular biography of Nelson was very much wanted, and is now to be had very cheap, in a very neat and convenient form."-New-York Commercial Advertiser. "We take much pleasure in recommending this work to the public, because we really consider it as useful and as deserving of encouragement as any that has ever been in the American press."-New-York Courier & Enquirer. "It is well written; and consists of many narratives of intense interest, and highly wrought description."-New-York Mercantile Advertiser, "It is a faithful narrative of the hero of Trafalgar, and paints his character with much force, and in its true colouring. We consider this number a valuable gem in the Family Library, and therefore strongly recommend it."-Truth Teller. "The publishers intend to incorporate some works of an American character, which will greatly augment the value of their edition of the Library. This last improvement is all that is wanting to make this work one of the most valuable miscellaneous publications that ever issued from the press."-New-York American. THE LIFE OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT. By Rev. J. WILLIAMS. the Family Library. With a Map. No. VII. of "The style is good, and the narrative well conducted. A modern history of this famous warrior cannot fail to be entertaining."-NewYork Daily Advertiser. "The work is instructing, and inherits a greater share of interest from the fact, that the history of this ancient Napoleon is disintegrated from the mass of general history, and presented by itself. The style is lucid and well studied."-New-York Journal of Commerce. "The fourth work included in this collection is a life of Alexander the Great, written by the Rev. John Williams, (of Baloil College, Oxford,) the well-known founder and head of the New Edinburgh Academy, and written in a manner worthy of his high scholastic reputation. He has displayed felicitously in this volume both the natural and acquired endowments of his mir.d-filled a blank in the historical library, furnished the schoolmaster, and also the schoolboy, whether at home or abroad, with a capital manual--and there will never be, in as far as we can see, the smallest occasion for writing this story over again."-Blackwood's Magazine. "This constitutes the seventh volume of the Family Library. It is incomparably the best life-the most careful and correct estimate of Alexander's achievements we have."-Monthly Magazine. "This is a much better book than any other in English on the same subject."--Athenæum. "It is ably and eloquently written."-Birmingham Journal. |
