Price 18s, in Boards, U'e here announce to our readers a very agreeable and instruc- tive novel, in wliicli the incidents themselves alford a lesson both improving and entertaining, and the sentiments are nlivays founded on just perceptions of reason and nature, .V/. Rev. In say- ing that this pi odiiction is superior to tne generality of novels, we shall be thought by many to express ourselves but coldly of its merits. Aubrey does, in fact, neserve a higher commendation. Wn written with ease, and excites much interest in the mind of the reader. Srst.Crit. PERCIVAL; OR, NATURE VINDICATED. By R C. DALLAS, Esq. The Second Edition. In 4 large vols. ]2ino. 18s. sewed. <• 'I'iie foundation of this fascinating and instructive work of ima- gination Is laid in pure religion, and uncontaintnated nature ; and ihe superstructure is raised upon a liberal and virtuous education, under the direction of those besl- aichitccis of the liuman mind, good example, and sound precept. Kuraji. Mug. It presents the reader ihrOLiRhout with n vcrv beaiitilul oicture ol virtue, in its most engaging lorm, delineated in the clearest colouring of purity of style and simplicity of language. Anii Jac. THE MORLANDS. Tales illastrative of tlie Simple and Surprising. By R. C. DALLAS, Esq. In 4 vols. 12H10. Price One Guinea in Boards. Thus concludes the (irst'rale of the Moilands: we shall take ■a short notice of the second berealier. Tina rale is certainly much superior to the general cnurie of novels. The language is natural and chaste, the business in general interesting and rapid, and the moral elfccl is such as will oltcn instruct and can never oilend. Grn Riv. The merit of both liis cll'orts are considerable ; our iudgmcnt however decide fur the List. AniiJiK. Tlic value of ihesc works of imagination consists in the laithful picture ot man- kind whichtliey present. Mr. D.'s just discriminations ol character Hre evidences of his ac(iu.nintance with the worm. Many e.vcellent rtllertions, and precepts of the best morality, occur in the work. M. Kev. THE SWISS EMIGRANTS. A Tale. In 1 vol. ismo. Price 4s. in Boaids. The object of this well-totd talc is at once to set fortti the liap- pintss wliicii may be derived from the practice of beneficence in an humble and obscure sphere, and to exhibit a moving picture nt the misery of which war Is pr^iductive. AT. Rev. This is an interesting, atrecting, and instructive tale, replete with pood sense and rood morals. The narrative is ably written, the language IS good, and the sentiments are unexceptionable. .■4n/i ytx. A pleasing and interesting n.irrative. The whole is apparently from the heart; and it will beguile the feeling mind of ptiy'i softest drops. Crit. Rev. 1 his it a very pleasing and »eli- toldtale. nril.Ciii.
