THE HISTORY OF JUNIUS AND HIS WORKS, and a Review of the Controversy respecting Junius, with an Appendix, containing Portraits and Sketches, by Junius, selected from the Letters.  By John Jaques.

“This is a very able book; well arranged in its plan, and complete in its matter.  To those who are interested in the controversy, or even to any readers of Junius who wish for further information than the common editions furnish, we strongly recommend this volume.  They will find it full, without being overcharged; and it possesses an advantage even over Woodfall’s edition, in only containing what is essential to the point, besides exhibiting much which does not appear in that elaborate publication.  The ’History of Junius and his Works’ is an essential companion to the ’Letters of Junius.’”—­Spectator, March 4, 1843.

London:  George Bell, 186.  Fleet Street.

SOUTHEY’S COMMONPLACE-BOOK.

Edited by Mr. Southey’s Son-in-Law, the Rev. John Wood Warter, B.D.  Second Series, being SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, and forming a Volume complete in itself.

“This volume [SPECIAL COLLECTIONS] is a monument of industry such as few could pile, and affords striking evidence of the indomitable perseverance and varied learning of Southey....  The oftener we dip into these massive pages, the profounder grows our surprise that such a mass of information could have been thrown together by one man....  It is just the book to dive into for the spare half hour, assured of finding amusement and information in every page....  The index is so ample and well arranged, that any particular paragraph may be turned to without difficulty.  Altogether it is a massive and elegant volume, got up without regard to expense, and as well adapted for the shelves of the mechanic’s library, as for the study-table of the literary man.”—­Eclectic Review.

Also a New Edition, in One Volume, price 18s.
