MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF
SIR WALTER SCOTT.

BY J. G. LOCKHART, ESQ.

The appearance of Lockhart's Life of Scott, has been looked
forward to with no ordinary degree of expectation. The
interest which its announcement excited was as general as it
was intense. It is impossible that the task of bringing out
such a book could have fallen into better hands. J. G. Lockhart
is a man whose high character, independent of his relationship,
insures the absence of every thing improper or indecorous in a
biographical work, and whose eminence as an author is a sufficient
guarantee for the good taste and ability with which the
whole plan and details will be managed. If any thing were
wanting to prove Mr. Lockhart's fitness for the duty which
has devolved upon him, it is to be found in his “Life of Burns.”—Aberdeen Herald.

PETER PILGRIM:
OR, A RAMBLER'S RECOLLECTIONS.

BY DR. BIRD,
Author of “Nick of the Woods,” “Calavar,” &c.

In Two Volumes, 12mo.

It is a sort of Decameron of Tales, of which the scenes are
laid in various parts of our country, and it abounds in rich traditionary
lore and national characters. The tale entitled “Merry
the Miner” is one of the most imaginative and powerful we
ever read, combining the Author's most finished style, with a
power and moral sublimity for which we are at a loss to find a
parallel. The “Night on the Terrapin Rocks,” and the
“Mammoth Cave,” are written in the same powerful style.
Peter Pilgrim will enhance in no small degree the already
brilliant reputation of the Author of the “Gladiator” and
“Calavar.”—Weekly Messenger.
