In two Volumes, 12mo.CONSTANCE;By Mrs.A. T. Thomson,Author of the Life of Henry VIII.
"One of the most touching and exquisitely natural tales that many seasons have produced. It developes an intimate knowledge of the human heart, and a remarkable power in the delineation of character."—Atlas.
"This novel, in its sketches of English country society, is most successful; its portraits are very happy, its scenes very amusing."—Spectator.
"A picture of real life, drawn with equal truth, gaiety and feeling—the three graces of fiction."—Literary Gazette.
"The dramatic ability displayed in the management of this story is of the very highest order."—Atlas.
In one Volume, 12mo.CARWELL;By Mrs.Sheridan, Author of "Aims and Ends."
"A story which for minute fidelity to truth, for high tragic conception, both of plot and character, has few equals in modern fiction."
"But everywhere you see that rarest of all literary beauties, a beautiful mind—an intimate persuasion of the fine and great truths of the human heart—a delicate and quick perception of the lovely and the honest—an intellect that profits by experience, and a disposition which that experience cannot corrupt."—The Author of Pelham.
In one Volume, 12mo.THE GENTLEMAN IN BLACK.
"It is very clever and very entertaining—replete with pleasantry and humour: quite as imaginative as any German diablerie, and far more amusing than most productions of its class. It is a very whimsical and well devised jeu d'esprit."—Literary Gazette.
In two Volumes, 12mo.
TRAITS AND STORIES OF THE IRISH PEASANTRY.
THIRD SERIES.
"This work has been most extravagantly praised by the English critics: and several extracts from it have been extensively published in our newspapers. It is altogether a better work than any of the kind which has yet appeared—replete with humour, both broad and delicate—and with occasional touches of pathos, which have not been excelled by any writer of the present day. An Edinburgh critic says that 'neither Miss Edgeworth, nor the author of the O'Hara tales, could have written any thing more powerful than this.'"—Baltimore American.
"There seems to be a strong unanimity of opinion in favour of the new British work entitled 'Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry.' The work is proclaimed in the British journals, and pronounced by readers in our country, to be equal in racy humour and graphic delineation, to the very best sketches that have appeared of Irish character, life, and manners."—National Gazette.
In two Volumes, 12mo.
THE AFFIANCED ONE;
By the Author of "Gertrude."
"Evidently the production of a woman of taste and refinement. It abounds with lively sketches of society, and sparkling anecdote."—Belle Assemblee.

MEMOIRS OF VIDOCQ,
THE CELEBRATED AGENT OF THE FRENCH POLICE.
This is a most entertaining work. Vidocq stood long and deservedly at the head of the French police. It is well written, and is full of anecdote.

PETER SIMPLE;OR, ADVENTURES OF A MIDSHIPMAN.COMPLETE.
By the Author of the "King's Own," "Naval Officer," &c.
"The quiet humour which pervades the work is irresistibly amusing, and the fund of anecdote and description which it contains, entertaining. The humour sometimes approaches to downright burlesque, and the incident to extravagance, if not improbability; but, altogether, as a book of amusement, it is excellent."—Baltimore Gazette.
In Two Volumes, 12mo.
THE FAIR OF MAY FAIR.
By the Author of "Pin Money," &c.
"Mrs. Gore certainly stands at the head of the female novelists of the day. But we subjoin the opinion of Mr. Bulwer."—U. S. Gazette.
"She is the consummator of that undefinable species of wit, which we should call (if we did not know the word might be deemed offensive, in which sense we do not mean it) theslangof good society.
"But few people ever painted, with so felicitous a hand, the scenery of worldly life, without any apparent satire. She brings before you the hollowness, the manœuvres, and the intrigues of the world, with the brilliancy of sarcasm, but with the quiet of simple narrative. Her men and women, in her graver tales, are of a noble and costly clay; their objects are great; their minds are large, their passions intense and pure. The walks upon the stage of the world of fashion, and her characters, have grown dwarfed as if by enchantment. The air of frivolity has blighted their stature; their colours are pale and languid; they have no generous ambition; they arelittle people!they are fine people! This it is that makes her novel of our social life so natural, and so clear a transcript of the original."—The Author of Pelham.
In Two Volumes, 12mo.
THE INVISIBLE GENTLEMAN.
By the Author of "Chartley," "The Fatalist," etc. etc.
"It is a novel which may be termed the whimsically supernatural."—Athenæum.
"The present narrative is one of the most entertaining fictions we have met with for a long time; the idea is very original, and brought into play with a lively air of truth, which gives a dramatic reality even to the supernatural."—Literary Gazette.
"The adventures follow each other with delightful rapidity and variety; occasionally there is a deep and thrilling touch of pathos, which we feel not a bit the less acutely, because the trouble and wo of the parties have originated in the familiar and somewhat laughable act of pulling an ear."—Court Magazine.
In Two Volumes, 12mo.
MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS.
"The best novel of the season—a faithful, exact, and withal spirited picture of the aristocracy of this country—an admirable description of what is called high life, and full of a more enlarged knowledge of human nature."—Spectator.
"A very lively and amusing panorama of actual life."—Lit. Gazette.
"A very interesting work, full of well-described scenes and characters, and altogether deserving of being classed with the first-rate novels of the day."—Courier.
"It would be difficult to lay down such a book until every chapter has been perused. Elegance and force of style—highly but faithfully drawn pictures of society—are merits scarcely secondary to those we have enumerated: and they are equally displayed throughout. 'Mothers and Daughters' must find its way rapidly into every circle."—Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.
In one Volume, 12mo.
A SUBALTERN IN AMERICA;
COMPRISING HIS NARRATIVE OF THE CAMPAIGNS OF THE BRITISH ARMY AT BALTIMORE, WASHINGTON, ETC. DURING THE LATE WAR.
"The Subaltern is a man of sense, acuteness, and good feeling, who writes with spirit and good taste.—Considering that he is an Englishman and an English officer writing about America, his book is tolerably fair—and makes fewer insulting comments upon things which he did not understand, than has been customary with that kind of authors.
"The 'Subaltern' is nevertheless a very agreeable, well written book, and we are glad to see it republished here. No doubt an American would have written some portions of it differently, but we can profit, we trust, by observing how opposite accounts can be fairly given of the same transactions, and learn something of the trouble in which history is written."Baltimore American.
"The Subaltern in America.—Under this title, Messrs. Carey, Hart & Co. have recently published a work in one volume, comprising a full narrative of the campaigns of the British army, at Baltimore, Washington, New Orleans, &c. during the late war. The incidents of the war, as related in the American papers, are probably familiar to most persons, through that channel. Yet the ends of truth, and the means of forming a just judgment, may require that one should hear the statement of the adverse party, as well as that most favourable to our side of the question. There is, moreover, two ways of telling even the truth. They who feel an interest in the details of this important struggle between kindred nations, have, in the book before us, an opportunity of hearing them, as shaped out by one of the adverse party. The 'Subaltern' bore an active share in the several campaigns, of which he professes to give an account; and if his narrations are somewhat partial to his own side of the question, it is but the indulgence of a very common foible, which may be the more readily excused, as the means of correction are at hand."—Baltimore Patriot.
In two Volumes, 12mo.
PIN MONEY;BY MRS. CHARLES GORE,
Authoress of "Hungarian Tales," "Polish Tales," etc.
"Her writings have that originality which wit gives to reality, and wit is the great characteristic of her pages."—Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.
"Light spirited and clever, the characters are drawn with truth and vigour. Keen in observation, lively in detail, and with a peculiar and piquant style, Mrs. Charles Gore gives to the novel that charm which makes the fascination of the best French memoir writers."—London Literary Gazette.

LEGENDS AND TALES OF IRELAND
BY SAMUEL LOVER.
In two Volumes, 12mo.
THE MAN-OF-WAR'S-MAN;
By the Author of "Tom Cringle's Log."
"No stories of adventures are more exciting than those of seamen. The author of Tom Cringle's Log is the most popular writer of that class, and those sketches collected not long since into a volume by the same publishers, in this city, were universally read. A large edition was soon exhausted. The present is, we believe, an earlier production, and has many of the same merits."—Baltimore Gazette.
"Messrs. Carey & Hart have published, in two volumes, 'The Man-of-War's-Man.' The success which attended the publication of 'Tom Cringle's Log,' might well induce its ingenious author to undertake a continuous narrative, having for the subject of illustration the manners and customs of seamen. The work now before us is of the kind, well imagined, and executed with all the tact and clearness that distinguished the 'Log Book' of Master Cringle, with the advantages of a more regular plot and interesting denouement."—U. S. Gazette.
"Nobody needs be told what sort of a book Tom Cringle can write—that humorous and most admirable of sailors! We may just remark that the reader will find in the present volume the same power of description and knowledge of the world—the same stirring adventures, phrases, dialects, and incidents which rendered his last work so extravagantly popular. The printing is uncommonly good for a novel."

"The whole of the story, but particularly the dawning of that early dawning of life's morning, First Love, and the subsequent progress of that passion, are indeed delightfully sketched."—Morning Post.

TRAITS AND STORIES OF THE IRISH PEASANTRY
FIRST SERIES.
"Admirable—truly, intensely Irish: never were the outrageous whimsicalities of that strange, wild, imaginative people so characteristically described; nor amidst all the fun, frolic, and folly, is there any dearth of poetry, pathos, and passion. The author's a jewel."—Glasgow Journal.
"To those who have a relish for a few tit-bits of rale Irish story-telling,—whether partaking of the tender or the facetious, or the grotesque,—let them purchase these characteristic sketches."—Sheffield Iris.
"The sister country has never furnished such sterling genius, such irresistibly humorous, yet faithful sketches of character among the lower ranks of Patlanders, as are to be met with in the pages of these delightful volumes."—Bristol Journal.
"This is a capital book, full of fun and humour, and most characteristically Irish."—New Monthly Magazine.
"Neither Miss Edgeworth, nor the author of the O'Hara Tales, could have written any thing more powerful than this."—Edinburgh Literary Gazette.
"We do not hesitate to say, that for a minute and accurate sketching of the character, manners, and language of the lower orders of the Irish, no book was ever published at all equal to this."—Spectator.
In Two Volumes, 12mo.
TRAITS AND STORIES OF THE IRISH PEASANTRY.
SECOND SERIES.
"Traits and Stories of Irish Peasantry.—The whole story is one of that mirth-inspiring nature, that those who read it without hearty laughter must be either miserable or very imperturbable."—Metropolitan, edited by T. Campbell.
"There is strength, vigour—and above all—truth, in every story, in every sentence, every line he writes. The statesman ought to read such books as these; they would tell him more of the true state of the country than he has ever heard from the lips of her orators, or the despatches of the 'Castle Hacks.' We wish Mr. Carlton would send forth a cheap edition, that 'Traits and Stories' of Irish peasants might be in the hands of people as well as peers."—Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.
In Two Volumes, 12mo.
THE STAFF-OFFICER. OR, THE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE.
A TALE OF REAL LIFE.
"The web of life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not, and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our virtues."
BY OLIVER MOORE.
"We are prepared to admit that our extracts do not do justice to the work: the writer's power is in discriminatingfemalecharacter; but as he judiciously makes it develope itself by incident, to illustrate this would require scenes and pages to be transferred to our columns. As a whole, this novel will be read with interest: it is light and pleasant; with many very natural scenes, many excellent and well-drawn characters, and without one line or word of affectation or pretence."—Athenæum.
"This is a most entertaining work: it is written with great spirit, elegance, and candour. The delineation of character (particularly that of many distinguished individuals officially connected with Ireland during the Pitt administration) is skilfully and vividly drawn; and the multifarious incidents—several of which are of a highlypiquantdescription—are given with a tact and delicacy creditable to the judgment and talent of the author. We can say with truth, that we have fairly gone through this tale of real life without being cloyed or wearied for a single moment; but that it excited, and kept up, an interest in our minds which few volumes designed for mere amusement have been able to inspire."—Brighton Herald.
In Two Volumes, 12mo.
THE NAVAL OFFICER;OR, SCENES AND ADVENTURES IN THE LIFE OF FRANK MILDMAY.
By the Author of "Peter Simple," "The King's Own," etc.
"This is the most seaman-like composition that has yet issued from the press. We recommend it to all who 'live at home at ease,' and need scarcely say, that no man-of-wars man should remain an hour without it."—Atlas.
The following beautiful and judicious compliment to the genius of Captain Marryatt, author of the Naval Officer, is from the pen of Mr. Bulwer, who, it will be acknowledged, is no inexperienced or unobserving critic:
"Far remote from the eastern and the voluptuous—from the visionary and refining—from the pale colouring of drawing-room life, and the subtle delicacies of female sentiment and wit, the genius of Captain Marryatt embodies itself in the humour, the energy, the robust and masculine vigour of bustling and actual existence; it has been braced by the sea breezes; it walks abroad in the mart of busy men, with a firm step and a cheerful and healthy air. Not, indeed, that he is void of a certain sentiment, and an intuition into the more hidden sources of mental interest; but these are not his forte, or his appropriate element. He is best in a rich and various humour—rich, for there is nothing poor or threadbare in his materials. His characters are not, as Scott's, after all, mere delineations of one oddity, uttering the same eternal phraseology, from the 'prodigious' of Dominie Sampson, to 'provant' of Major Dalgetty—a laughable, but somewhat poor invention: they are formed of compound and complex characteristics, and evince no trifling knowledge of the metaphysics of social life."
In Two Volumes, 12mo.
THE CONTRASTA NOVEL.
ByEarl Mulgrave, Author of "Matilda," "Yes and No," etc.
"'Yes and No' contained the besttableauxof actual—human—English society in the nineteenth century, of any novel we know of. The same characteristics that distinguished the most agreeable novel are equally remarkable in its successors."—Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.
"'Contrast' cannot fail to prove interesting."—Court Journal.
"These volumes possess the rather uncommon merit of a very interesting story. The design is to paint a man whose strong feelings are curbed by an over-fastidiousness—what the French so happily term un-homme difficile."—London Literary Gazette.
"Messrs. Carey and Hart have republished, in two neat volumes, Earl Mulgrave's novel of the 'Contrast,' which has been so favourably received in England. It is said to be one of the best novels of the kind, that has issued from the press for years."—Philadelphia Inquirer.
"'Pelham,' and 'Yes and No,' are perhaps the only paintings of the present time which are drawn with the accuracy of knowledge, and the vivacity of talent. Were we to be asked by a foreigner to recommend those novels which, founded on truth, gave the most just delineation of the higher classes in England, it is to the above mentioned works we should refer.The present volumes, however, are an infinite improvement on their predecessor."—London Literary Gazette.
In One Volume, 8vo.
MEMOIRS OF MARSHAL NEY,
COMPILED FROM PAPERS IN THE POSSESSION OF HIS FAMILY.
The work has been put together under the direction and management of the Duke of Elchingen, Marshal Ney's second son, who has affixed his signature to every sheet sent to press.
"They may be regarded as the Ney Papers, connected together by an interesting biography; the anecdotes with which they are interspersed have plainly been collected with great pains from all the early friends of that illustrious warrior."—Blackwood's Magazine.
"The memoirs before us are founded upon the papers and documents which he left behind him at his death, consisting of anecdotic and biographical fragments, accounts of his divers missions and campaigns, and the substance of many extraordinary secrets intrusted to him as a general and a statesman. All these materials throw great light upon the history of the French empire, as the details given in the memoirs possess the strongest interest."—Pennsylvania Inquirer.

PRINCIPLES OF THE ART OF MODERN HORSEMANSHIP FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,IN WHICH ALL THE LATE IMPROVEMENTS ARE APPLIED TO PRACTICE.
Translated from the French, byDaniel J. Desmond.
The Art of Horsemanship.—This is the title of a neat little work translated from the French of Mr. Lebeaud, by Daniel J. Desmond, Esq. of this city, and just published by Carey & Hart. It gives full and explicit directions for breaking and managing a horse, and goes into detail on the proper mode of mounting, the posture in the saddle, the treatment of the animal under exercise, &c. An appendix is added, containing instructions for theladies, in mounting and dismounting.
The Philadelphia public are under obligations to Mr. Desmond for this translation. We have long needed a manual of horsemanship, to correct the inelegant habits in which many of our riders indulge, and to produce uniformity in the art of equitation. We see daily in our streets, mounted men, who totter in their seats as if suffering under an ague-fit; others who whip, spur, and rant, as if charging an enemy in battle; and again others, of slovenly habits, with cramped knees, and toes projecting outwards, who occupy a position utterly devoid of every thing like ease, grace, or beauty. These things are discreditable to our community, and earnestly do we hope, that this book will have many attentive readers.—Philadelphia Gazette.

"'The 200 Receipts by Miss Leslie,' published by Carey and Hart of Philadelphia, has been much praised, and we think deservedly. The selection of subjects made by the accomplished writer is of a most tempting and tasteful description, and we must do her the justice to say, that she has treated them in such an eloquent and forcible manner, as to raise in the minds of all dispassionate readers the most tender and pleasurable associations. We commend her to the careful perusal and respect of all thrifty housewives."—New York Mirror.

SYDENHAM;OR, MEMOIRS OF A MAN OF THE WORLD
"A new novel of fashionable life, under the title of 'Sydenham, or Memoirs of a Man of the World,' will shortly be given to the public. It exhibits the history of a young man of rank and fortune, who, being of a decidedly satirical turn, resolves to gratify his favourite penchant to ascertain the internal state of fashionable society, and minutely to observe human nature under every variety of shade and circumstance. Among other characters with whom he comes in contact, is the celebratedBrummel, who figures under the name of Beaumont: this gentleman arrests his peculiar attention, and serves him for a complete study. The work is, moreover, illustrative of those sets or circles in the world of ton which have never been depicted in the pages of fiction, and respecting which so much curiosity has long been felt."—New Monthly Magazine.
"Each of these volumes is in fact a separate work—each in a different style and spirit—each aspiring to a different fame in composition. 'Sydenham' is a capital work, which, without the trouble of puffing, must make a great stir in the upper and political circles."—London Lit. Gaz.
"Sydenham is well written, and contains much pleasant and some severe satire. The present Whig ministers in England are handled without gloves, and a number of distinguished personages occupy more conspicuous places than they would have been likely to choose, had the matter been referred to themselves."—Courier.
"The work before us is one of the most powerful of its class; it bears intrinsic evidence of a new writer. The portrait of Brummel, the 'arch dandy,' is excellent; and all the scenes in which he is engaged are managed with skill and tact. There is, in fact, sufficient material in this book for three or four novels."—New Monthly Magazine.
"All the personages are of course real, though under fictitious names; these pages are, in reality, memoirs of the intrigues of the times, full of keen observation, graphic sketches of character, biting sarcasm, one page of which would make the fortune of a pamphlet."—London Gazette.

LEGENDS OF THE RHINE.
ByT. C. Grattan, Esq. Author of "High-ways and By-ways."
"We are well content to pass an hour once more with the lively and entertaining author of 'High-ways and By-ways." The hour has not yet gone by, and we have not completed the perusal of the two volumes; but the tales we have observed are worthy the repute in which the writer is held, and are even of a higher order—more chaste in language and perfect in style."—Boston Traveller.
"Messrs. Carey and Hart have just issued 'Legends of the Rhine,' by the author of 'High-ways and By-ways.' To those who recollect Mr. Grattan's former writings, (and who among novel readers does not?) it is only necessary to say, that the present 'Legends' are, in no respect, inferior to their predecessors. The traditions which he has here wrought into shape are all said to have an existence among the dwellers near the mighty river; and it is certain they are full of romantic interest. The 'Legends' are twelve in number, and, though not equal in all respects, there is no one of them that does not possess a strong claim to admiration."—Saturday Courier.
"Few sets of stories, published within the last ten years, have been more popular than those called 'High-ways and By-ways.' The author of these, after having produced two or three successful works of a different sort, has given us two volumes of tales, with the title 'Legends of the Rhine,' which are to be published to-morrow, we understand, by Carey and Hart. The author professes, seriously, to have founded his narratives on traditions yet extant among those who live near the banks of the great German river; and many of them end so tragically that we can hardly suspect the writer of having invented them for his own amusement or that of his readers. They are all interesting, though not all skilfully framed; and each of them contains pages that may be placed in a competition with the most shining passages of any other living novel writer."

STANLEY BUXTON;OR, THE SCHOOLFELLOWS.
ByJohn Galt, Esq., Author of "Annals of the Parish," "Lawrie Todd," "Eben Erskine," etc.
"While guile is guiltless, and life's business play,Friendships are formed that never know decay."
"Oh, that all novels were like this piece of admirable fiction."—Spectator.
"We must say this work is in Mr. Galt's best style, the volume before us contains samples of his tastes and of his powers."—Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.
"Mr. Galt's new novel is on our table, and we regret we have not space to go further into the arcana of 'Stanley Buxton,' in which the author has aimed at painting natural feelings in situations not common, and with much success. Some of his descriptions are also deserving of special praise. Two episodes in the second volume add to the general interest, and further recommend the work to public favour."—London Literary Gazette.
"We find in this work the force of conception, and the full execution which distinguish the 'Annals of the Parish,' and 'Lawrie Todd.'"—Sun.
"The new novel, 'Stanley Buxton,' just published by Carey and Hart, may be called one of the very best of Mr. Galt's productions."—Daily Chronicle.
"In 'Stanley Buxton' there is the same delightful freshness, the same striking originality of purpose, the same easy and flowing, yet racy and spirited manner which characterized the 'Annals of the Parish.'"—Saturday Courier.
"For touching the heart, for keen knowledge of nature, and for quiet and beautiful descriptions, like the still life in a painter's sketch, Galt possesses a vision and a power, that are not often surpassed, except by Bulwer. The author of 'Stanley Buxton' is infinitely superior to D'Israeli, whose imagination is as excursive and capricious as the wing of a sea-fowl."—Chronicle.
"Mr. Galt is a writer so well known and so deservedly admired, that the announcement of a new novel from his pen is sufficient to awaken general curiosity."—Gazette.

"Fitz George is a production of great talent."—Weekly Despatch.
"If all novels were like this, they would soon be in the hands of philosophers as well as fashionables."—True Sun.
"Should a library be formed in Buckingham Palace, these volumes should have a shelf in it to themselves."—Bell's New Weekly Messenger.
"The whole book abounds with the most stirring interest."—National Omnibus.

OUR ISLAND.
COMPRISINGFORGERY, A TALE;AND,THE LUNATIC, A TALE.
"There is a great share of talent in these pages, which have also the merit of being laid chiefly among scenes new to a large portion of our readers."—Literary Gazette.
"The Lunatic.—This is indeed an excellent tale—well told—with variety of incidents and character, and with much humour. Not to speak in disparagement of the first tale, we must confess that we have been highly pleased with the second, and we think our readers' time will be amply repaid by a perusal of both."—London Monthly Magazine.
"This work is of a generally interesting character, and we feel it our duty to encourage the publication of such productions as these tales, since they point attention to errors of legislation."—Weekly Despatch.

"The scenes are chiefly nautical, and we can safely say, that no author of the present day, not even excepting our own Cooper, has surpassed him in his element."—U. S. Gazette.
"The sketches are not only replete with entertainment, but useful, as affording an accurate and vivid description of scenery, and of life and manners in the West Indies."—Boston Traveller.
"We think none who have read this work will deny that the author is the best nautical writer who has yet appeared. He is not Smollett, he is not Cooper; but he is far superior to them both."—Boston Transcript.
"The scenes are chiefly nautical, and are described in a style of beauty and interest never surpassed by any writer."—Baltimore Gazette.
"The author has been justly compared with Cooper, and many of his sketches are in fact equal to any from the pen of our celebrated countryman."—Saturday Evening Post.

BY MARSHALL HALL, M.D., F.R.S.E., &c. &c.

Dr. Hall has subjoined a plan of a Register of Cases of Blood-letting, which would be a most useful record, if properly kept; and we cannot recommend such a detail of facts, to practitioners, in too high terms."—American Journal of Medical Sciences, No. XI.
"It is not for us to say how large may have been the number of sufferers, but we know some have perished from direct exhaustion complicated with reaction, who might have been saved, if the principles and practice of our author had been known and understood."—N.
