CAREY & LEA
HAVE RECENTLY PUBLISHED THE FOLLOWING
VALUABLE WORKS.
I.
HISTORY OF SCOTLAND,
By Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart.
In Two Vols.
BEING THE FIRST PORTION OF
The Cabinet History of the British Islands,
EMBRACING
HISTORY of ENGLAND. By Sir James Mackintosh, 3 vols.
HISTORY of SCOTLAND. By Sir Walter Scott, 2 vols.
HISTORY of IRELAND. By Thomas Moore, 1 vol.
The History of Scotland, by Sir Walter Scott, we do not hesitate to declare,
will be, if possible, more extensively read, than the most popular work of fiction,
by the same prolific author, and for this obvious reason: it combines much of the
brilliant colouring of the Ivanhoe pictures of by-gone manners, and all the
graceful facility of style and picturesqueness of description of his other charming
romances, with a minute fidelity to the facts of history, and a searching scrutiny
into their authenticity and relative value, which might put to the blush Mr.
Hume and other professed historians. Such is the magic charm of Sir Walter
Scott's pen, it has only to touch the simplest incident of every day life, and it
starts up invested with all the interest of a scene of romance; and yet such is his
fidelity to the text of nature, that the knights, and cerfs, and collared fools with
whom his inventive genius has peopled so many volumes, are regarded by us as
not mere creations of fancy, but as real flesh and blood existences, with all the
virtues, feelings and errors of common place humanity.”
—Lit. Gaz.
II. CLARENCE; a Tale of our own Times. By
the Author of Redwood, Hope Leslie, &c. In two volumes.
(Nearly ready.)
III. CAMDEN; a Tale of the South. In two Vols.
(Nearly ready.)
IV. TRAVELS in EGYPT, NUBIA, TURKEY,
and PALESTINE, in the years 1824, 25, 26, and 27. By R. R.
Madden, Esq. In 2 vols. 12mo. (Nearly ready.)
“To those into whose hands these valuable volumes may not fall, we shall be
doing an acceptable service by combining some of the information contained in
them with our own remarks, chiefly relative to the domestic character and habits
of the inhabitants of Constantinople.”
—New Monthly Magazine.
V. The POETICAL WORKS of CAMPBELL,
ROGERS, and KIRKE WHITE, beautifully printed in 1 vol.
8vo. (Nearly ready.)
VI. COXE'S AMERICAN DISPENSATORY,
Eighth Edition, Improved and Enlarged.
VII. CAPTAIN HALL in AMERICA, by an
American.
VIII. An ESSAY on REMITTENT and INTERMITTENT
DISEASES, including generically Marsh Fever and
Neuralgia—comprising under the former, various anomalies,
obscurities, and consequences, and under a new systematic
view of the latter, treating of tic douloureux, sciatica, headache,
ophthalmia, tooth-ache, palsy, and many other modes
and consequences of this generic disease; by John Macculloch,
M. D., F. R. S. &c. &c. Physician in Ordinary to his Royal
Highness Prince Leopold, of Saxe Cobourg.
“Dr. Macculloch is a great philosopher and logician. His views are calculated
to do much good. We have therefore taken great pains to concentrate and diffuse
them widely through the profession. Nothing but a strong conviction that
the work before us contains a multitude of valuable gems, could have induced us
to bestow so much labour on the review. In rendering Dr. Macculloch's work
more accessible to the profession, we are conscious that we are doing the state
some service.”
—Med. Chir. Review.
“We most strongly recommend Dr. Macculloch's treatise to the attention of
our medical brethren, as presenting a most valuable mass of information, on a
most important subject.”
—Am. Med. and Phys. Journal.
IX. The ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, and DISEASES
of the TEETH. By Thomas Bell, F. R. S., F. L. S.
&c. In 1 vol. 8vo. with plates.
“Mr. Bell has evidently endeavoured to construct a work of reference for the
practitioner, and a text-book for the student, containing a `plain and practical
digest of the information at present possessed on the subject, and results of the
author's own investigations and experience.”' * * * “We must now take leave
of Mr. Bell, whose work we have no doubt will become a class book on the important
subject of dental surgery.”
—Medico-Chirurgical Review.
X. MORALS of PLEASURE, illustrated by Stories
designed for Young Persons, in 1 vol. 12mo.
“The style of the stories is no less remarkable for its ease and gracefulness,
than for the delicacy of its humour, and its beautiful and at times affecting simplicity.
A lady must have written it—for it is from the bosom of woman alone,
that such tenderness of feeling and such delicacy of sentiment—such sweet lessons
of morality—such deep and pure streams of virtue and piety, gush forth to
cleanse the juvenile mind from the grosser impurities of our nature, and prepare
the young for lives of usefulness here, and happiness hereafter. We advise parents
of young families to procure this little book—assuring them that it will
have a tendency to render their offspring as sweet as innocent, as innocent as
gay, as gay as happy. It is dedicatad by the author `to her young Bedford
friends, Anna and Maria Jay'—but who this fair author is, we cannot even guess.
We would advise some sensible educated bachelor to find out.”
—N. Y. Com. Adv.
XI. The PRACTICE of PHYSIC, by W. P. Dewees,
M. D. Adjunct Professor of Midwifery in the University of
Pennsylvania, 2 vols. 8vo.
The profession need not be informed how much a work like that now published
was wanted. It has been the particular object of the author to endeavour
to accommodate the mode of managing the diseases of which he treats to the
many pathological discoveries recently made, both in this country and in Europe;
and having also availed himself of his long experience, he trusts that his work
will remove many of the embarrassments experienced by practitioners.
XII. A TREATISE on PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY,
by William E. Horner, M. D. Adjunct Professor of
Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania.
“We can conscientiously commend it to the members of the profession, as a
satisfactory, interesting, and instructive view of the subjects discussed, and
as well adapted to aid them in forming a correct appreciation of the diseased
conditions they are called on to relieve.”
—American Journal of the Medical
Sciences, No. 9.
XIII. A New Edition of a TREATISE of SPECIAL
and GENERAL ANATOMY, by the same author, 2 vols. 8vo.
XIV. TALES of a GRANDFATHER, by the Author
of Waverley, 3d series, in 2 vols. 18mo.
XV. JOURNAL of a SECOND EXPEDITION
into the Interior of Africa from the Bight of Benin to Soccatoo,
by the late Commander Clapperton, Royal Navy. To
which is added the Journal of Richard Lander, from Kano to
the Sea-coast, partly by a more eastern route, chiefly laid down
from actual observations and longitudes, in 1 vol. 8vo.
XVI. LACONICS, or the Best Words of the Best
Authors, with the authorities and numerous portraits, in 3 vols.
18mo. first American edition.
“The design is well contrived: the aphorisms are selected with judgment from
many of our best authors.”
—New Monthly Magazine.
“This little work is really composed of gems of genius.”
—Literary Chronicle.
“The selection of extracts in this work is from standard writers, and is so judicious
that it may be safely given to the youth of both sexes; we sincerely recommend
the publication.”
—Monthly Magazine.
“The title of this book is so good as almost to render explanation superfluous;
it is one which may be taken up occasionally, and a little of it read at a time,
with pleasure and with profit; and so managed, may well last one's life without
weariness; for if the ideas you hit upon are not always profound or beautiful,
they are at least curious and provocative of reflexion; and the language is generally
good, often exquisite; it is the result of a most extensive reading assisted by
a nice perception of merit.”
—Examiner.
XVII. The HISTORY of LOUISIANA, particularly
of the Cession of that Colony to the United States of
North America; with an introductory Essay on the Constitution
and Government of the United States, by M. de Marbois,
Peer of France, translated from the French by an American
citizen, in 1 vol. 8vo.
“From the extracts with which we have indulged our readers, they will be
able to form an idea of the character and spirit of M. de Marbois's performance.
The outline which we have drawn, however, does very scanty justice to the merits
of the whole work, which, we repeat, is in our judgment the best that has recently
appeared, either at home or abroad, on some of the most important topies
of American history and politics. If we do not agree with all the author's opinions,
we cannot but accord to him unqualified praise for his fairness, liberality,
good judgment, and enlightened views. The volume will be a treasure among
the historical annals of the country. We are glad to know that a translation of
it by a competent hand is in progress in Paris, and will speedily be published in
the United States.”
—North American Review.
XVIII. EVANS'S MILLWRIGHT and MILLER'S
GUIDE. New edition, with additions, by Dr. T. P.
Jones.
XIX. DEWEES on the DISEASES of CHILDREN.
Third edition. In 8vo.
The objects of this work are, 1st, to teach those who have the charge of children,
either as parent or guardian, the most approved methods of securing and
improving their physical powers. This is attempted by pointing out the duties
which the parent or the guardian owes for this purpose, to this interesting,
but helpless class of beings, and the manner by which their duties shall be fulfilled.
And 2d, to render available a long experience to these objects of our affections,
when they become diseased. In attempting this, the author has avoided
as much as was possible, “technicality;” and has given, if he does not flatter himself
too much, to each disease of which he treats, its appropriate and designating
characters, with a fidelity that will prevent any two being confounded, together
with the best mode of teaching them, that either his own experience or
that of others has suggested.
XX. DEWEES on the DISEASES of FEMALES.
Second edition with additions. In 8vo.
XXI. DEWEES'S SYSTEM of MIDWIFERY.
Fourth edition, with additions.
XXII. CHAPMAN'S THERAPEUTICS and MATERIAL
MEDICA. Fifth edition, with additions.
XXIII. The ATLANTIC SOUVENIR, for 1830, in
elegant fancy leather binding, and with numerous embellishments
by the best Artists.
The publishers have spared neither pains nor expense in endeavouring to
render this, their fifth annual volume, still more worthy the high degree of favour
which its predecessors have enjoyed. All the impressions being from steel
render them equally perfect, and the binding being a fancy leather, the whole
will be rendered more permanent. In the list of Authors will be found many
of the most distinguished writers in this country.
A few copies remain unsold of the ATLANTIC SOUVENIR,
a Christmas and New Year's Present for 1827, 1828, and 1829,
with numerous embellishments by the best Artists.
XXIV. A CHRONICLE of the CONQUEST of
GRENADA, by Washington Irving, Esq. in 2 vols.
“On the whole, this work will sustain the high fame of Washington Irving.
It fills a blank in the historical library which ought not to have remained so
long a blank. The language throughout is at once chaste and animated; and
the narrative may be said, like Spencer's Fairy Queen, to present one long gallery
of splendid pictures. Indeed, we know no pages from which the artist is
more likely to derive inspiration, nor perhaps are there many incidents in literary
history more surprising than that this antique and chivalrous story should
have been for the first time told worthily by the pen of an American and a republican.”
—London Literary Gazette.

XXV. NEUMAN'S SPANISH and ENGLISH
DICTIONARY, new Edition.
XXVI. The WISH-TON-WISH, by the Author of
the Spy, Pioneers, Red Rover, &c. in 2 vols. 12mo.
“We can conceive few periods better calculated to offer a promising field to
the novelist than that which these pages illustrate;—the mingling of wildest adventure
with the most plodding industry—the severe spirit of the religion of the
first American settlers—the feelings of household and home at variance with all
earlier associations of country—the magnificence of the scenery by which they
were surrounded—their neighbourhood to that most picturesque and extraordinary
of people we call savages;—these, surely, are materials for the novelist, and
in Mr. Cooper's hands they have lost none of their interest. We shall not attempt
to detail the narrative, but only say it is well worthy of the high reputation of
its author. All the more serious scenes are worked up to the highest pitch of
excitement; if any where we have to complain of aught like failure, it is in the
lighter parts, and some of the minor details which are occasionally, spun out
too much.”
—London Literary Gazette.

"The anecdotes of the imperial court are very garrulous and amusing."—New Monthly Magazine.
XXXIX. LORD BYRON and some of his CONTEMPORARITES,
by LEIGH HUNT, in 8vo.
"Mr. Leigh Hunt, however, is not one of these dishonest chroniclers. His
position with regard to Lord Byron, and the long and intimate habits of intercourse
with him which he enjoyed, enabled him to contemplate the noble poet's
character, in all its darkness and brightness. Gifted, too, like the subject of his
memoir, with very remarkable talents, he is much more to be relied on, both in
his choice of points of view, and his manner of handling his subject. He is not
likely to spoil a bon-mot, an epigram or a conversation; and while he can seize
all that was really piquant about his lordship, he is infinitely above retailing the
low gossip and garage, which some memoir writers have done, in the true spirit
of a waiting maid or lacquey."—New Monthly Magazine.

XLIV. HISTORICAL, GEOGRAPHICAL, and

XLV. VIVIAN GREY, 3 vols. 12mo.
"We hail the author as a master in his art: and we may venture to
appeal to the work he has produced as at once a prognostic and accomplishment of original
invention, that rare faculty in the genius of this age."

Corrections, and adapted to the Practice of Medicine and to
the Art of Pharmacy to the United States. By JOSEPH Togno,
M. D. Member of the Philadelphia Medical Society, and E.
Durand, Member of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.
"It contains all the pharmaceutical information that the physician can desire,
and in addition, a larger mass of information, in relation to the properties, &c.
of the different articles and preparations employed in medicine, than any of the,
dispensatories, and we think will entirely supersede all these publications in the
library of the physician."—Am. Journ. of the Medical Sciences.

GENERAL ANATOMY, and PATHOLOGY of BICHAT, by,
THOMAS HENDERSON, M. D. Professor of the Theory and Practice

in imparting it to others, whose studies he is expected to superintend."—

PHILOSOPHY, GENERAL and MEDICAL, explained
independently of TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS, and containing

LI. LAFAYETTE in AMERICA, in 1824 and
1825; or a Journal of a Voyage to the United States, by
A. LEVASSEUR, Secretary to the General during his journey,
2 vols, 12mo. Translated by JOHN D. GODMAN, M. D.
"Although the Nation's Guest may not have revised these volumes, they must
be received as perfectly authentic. M. Levasseur appeals for the truth of his
statements, to millions of witnesses. We ourselves seized them with avidity, as
soon as they came within our reach, and on the whole derived from them the rich
gratification which we expected. Several parts excite emotions like those which
were produced by the presence of Lafayette: they kindle anew an enthusiastic
national glow; the secretary is often eloquent in his pictures and sentiment; he
writes with uniform propriety, we might say elegance."—National Gazette.
