THE SMITHS.

By the Author of "Wedlock," "The Maid's Husband," &c.

"This is one of the best novels we have had since the publication of Frederika Bremer's 'Home.' It is full of thoughts, some searching, one or two deep. We recommend The Smiths' to the acquaintance of that much-be-talked and muchbe-written class, the Mothers of England.---Athenæum.

FRIEND, OR FOE?

By the Author of "Nan Darrell," "The Fright," &c.

"Miss Pickering still improves; her situations and effects are striking. Altogether, Friend or Foe' is a capital novel for the circulating library." Spectator.

"We trace in' Friend or Foe' evidence of quick feminine sagacity, knowledge of character, and an easy, unaffected style of writing." Court Journal.

"Miss Pickering has soared high in this her last literary flight; and we admire the spirit that prompted, and the energy that sustained her so well throughout the undertaking."

Argus.

OR, PICTURES OF A REIGN.

By the Author of “ A Summer Amongst the Bocages and the Vines," &c.

"In the power of painting historical characters, we cannot but think Miss Costello comes nearest the truth, while her delineations fall little short in force of the famous French novelist." Athenæum.

"Successful in every department of literature, Miss Costello has, in her present work, greatly increased the reputation which her former publications have gained for her. 'Gabrielle' deserves to take its place beside the best fictions of the day.' Morning Herald.

"The narrative is animated and picturesque, and the number of events and persons introduced never allows the reader's attention to flag." Morning Chronicle.

"The reader who cannot find in this agreeable work inte resting and amusing pastime, must be, indeed, difficult to please.' Literary Gazette.

"Whatever may be the subject that Miss Costello takes up she is sure to treat it delightfully.' Naval and Military Gazette.

"Three remarkably piquant and witty volumes, which will attain deserved popularity.' Court Journal.

SCENES AND ADVENTURES

IN

AFFGHANISTAN,

6

BY

WILLIAM TAYLOR,

Troop Serjeant-Major of the Fourth Light Dragoons.

Every thing relating to Affghanistan that bears reasonable evidence of a faithful narrative must have great present interest, but independently of this, the book before us is remarkably clever and attractive. Short as it is, it is full of matter, well observed and well written.'-Examiner.

The particulars of the march from Bombay through the Passes, so often referred to as replete with dangers and difficulties to a European army, are given with graphic effect.— Globe.

This is the work evidently of a practical man; one who is mixed up and identified with the narrative he has given with so much tact. We recommend this little volume to the public with peculiar satisfaction.'-A rgus.

Serjeant Taylor is really a clever fellow, a quick observer, with as much of reflection as might be looked for in a noncommissioned officer, or even a subaltern. Of lively traits of various kinds, we might cull a large batch without difficulty.' -Spectator.
