Sesrmour's Sketches. A Companion Volume to "Leech's Pictures." The Book of Cockney Sports, Whims, and Oddities. Nearly 200 highly amusing Illustrations. Oblong 4to, a handsome volume, half morocco, price 12s.


 * ∗* A re-issue of the famous pictorial comicalities which were so popular thirty years ago. The volume is admirably adapted for a table-book, and the pictures will doubtless again meet with that popularity which was extended towards them when the artist projected with Mr. Dickens the famous "Pickwick Papers."

The Famous "DOCTOR SYNTAX'S" Three Tours.

One of the most Amusing and Laughable Books ever published. With the whole of Rowlandson's very droll full-page illustrations, in colours, after the original drawings. Comprising the well-known :—


 * 1) In Search of the Picturesque.
 * 2) In Search of Consolation.
 * 3) In Search of a Wife.

The three series complete and unabridged from the original editions in one handsome volume, with a Life of this industrious Author—the English Le Sage—now first written by John Camden Hotten.




 * ∗* It is not a little surprising that the most voluminous and popular English writer since the days of Defoe should never before have received the small honour of a biography. This Edition contains the whole of the original, hitherto sold for £1 11s. 6d., but which is now published at 7s. 6d. only.

A VERY USEFUL BOOK. In folio, half morocco, cloth sides, 7s. 6d.

Literary Scraps, Cuttings from Newspapers, Extracts, Miscellanea, &c. A FOLIO SCRAP-BOOK OF 340 COLUMNS, formed for the reception of Cuttings, &c., with guards.

☞ Authors and literary men have thanked the publisher for this useful book.


 * ∗* A most useful volume, and one of the cheapest ever sold. The book is sure to be appreciated and to become popular.
