NEW PUBLICATIONS.
To Cuba and Back. By R. H. Dana, Author of " Two
Years before the Mast," &c.
Post 8vo. Price 7 s. cloth.
" Mr. Dana’s book is so bright and luscious, so
pictorial and cheerful, so essentially pleasant and
refreshing, that even the rule of a Spanish
capi-tan-general appears tolerable where the subjects
are so courteous, and the strangers so gracefully
petted. Mr. Dana has a pen to paint such
pictures well. His voyage and residence occupied
scarcely a month, yet he has written a volume
not only fascinating from its warmth and glitter
as a narrative, but also intelligent, instructive,
and of obvious integrity."—Athenæum.
" Mr. Dana does not spare his faculty of
description. The pictures he gives of the Cuban
metropolis itself, with its tropical luxuries and laziness,
its dirty and dainty ways of existence, the Spanish
grandiosity of its national manner, and the
en-croated pettiness of its national character, are
pleasantly and forcibly drawn. A coasting voyage
to Matanzas, and a railroad journey, brought
liim int) closer contact with the essential
characteristics of the country and its
history."—Saturday Reveiic.
We might accompany the author in his survey of
the coast of Tartary, in his views of the Amoor,
and the other points ; but we have done enough
to show the character and attractions of this
extremely interesting work."—Athenæum.
Shelley Memorials. Edited by Lady Shelley.
In One Volume, Post 8vo. Price 7s. 6d. cloth.
"Lady Shelley has done very well what slie
undertook todu. She lias shown good judgment
in not going diffusely over facts with which the
public is familiar, anil slie has given a clear and
connected account of the chief outward
circumstances of the poet life. The essay is singularly
temperate and inoffensive in language; the
beauty of style and fueling with which it abounds
will make it acceptable to many."—Saturday
Review.
Voyage to Japan, Kamtschatka, Siberia,
Tartary, and the Coast of China, in II.M.S. " Barracouta."
By J. M. Tronson, R.N.
8 vo, with Charts and Views. 18s. cloth.
" We have to thank Mr. Tronson for giving
clear, ocular evidence of the Japanese, for
removing our mistakes respecting them, and for
describing Japan and Japanese in such an
attractive munner as to make us straightway desire to
voyage to that simple and hospitable land. • • *
This essay is written with much elegance of
style and force of argument. • * • The book does
certiiinlv disclose some startling
data."—illustrated London Xeics.
" By diligently comparing the letters of Junius
with the private correspondence of Edmund
Burke, he lias elicited certain parallel passages
of which it is impossible to evade the
significance.’ ’—Lit era r v Gazette.
"A week’s reflection, and a second reading of
11 r. Svmons’s hook, have strengthened our
conviction that he lias proved his case."— Spectator.
" We heartily recommend this volume to our
readers as the latest, freshest, and most genuine
tribute to the memory of one whose life shows
us how little connection there may be between
genius and happiness. Many of the letters are
exceedingly interesting."—Critic.
"We welcome the present biography. It
presents Shelley to us as lie was understood by those
who knew him best."—Athenæum.

Central India during the Suppression of the Mutiny in
1857-8. By Mrs. Henry Duberly, Author of a
"Journal kept during the Russian War."

"Mrs. Duherly has produced a very readable
and even amusing volume. Indeed, it is not < asy
to lay it aside when once opened, and there can
be little doubt that it will attain a considerable
-circulation."—Press.
"Mrs. Duberly’s ’Campaigning Experiences’
is a pleasant, chatty, little volume."— Critic.
The Fool of Quality. By Henry Brooke. New and
Revised Edition, with Biographical Preface by the Rev.
C. Kingsley, Rector of Eversley.
Two Volumes, Post 8vo, with Portrait of the Author. Price One Guinea.
" If the’Fool of Quality’be perused with
reference to the period at which it was written, as
well as from its author’s point of view, and if it
be considered as the earnest, heartfelt production
of an accomplished gentleman and a sincere
philanthropist, whose life was devoted to efforts
to do good, its excellences, which are many, will
be admitted."—Illustrated London News.
