" Which among us will be ever tired of reading about the women of France, especially when they are marshalled so agreeably and discreetly as in the pages before us ? " — Athenaum.

ROSE DOUGLAS ; or, Sketches of a Country Parish : being the Autobiography of a Scotch Minister's Daughter. 2 vols, post 8vo, 1/. s. cloth. " Among domestic tales, ' Rose Douglas' may take the place which Words- worth's ' Lucy' occupies among domestic poems. A more attractive book of its placid order we do not often meet j we commend this narrative as one sure to interest, to retain, and to satisfy the heart." — Atbenaum. " 'Rose Douglas' is what it professes to be. In the minute, homely, but delicate painting of the characters of the parish, we are instinctively reminded of the quiet, genuine humour of Gait." — Britan-.ia. " It is an interesting and instructive book, and has a character of truthful- ness and reality about it. The author writes from experience, and produces a picture which is singularly defined and clear." — Guardian. A TRIP TO MEXICO ; or, Recollections of a Ten Months' Ramble in 1849-50.
