Letters of John Randolph, to a young relative :: :: University of Virginia Library

"The tone of feeling and reflection which peredes
the work is in the characteristic mood of the
nter, considerate, ardent, and chivalrous; his principles,
as might be expected, are sound and independent,
and his language is frequently rich in those beaues
which distinguish his previous writings. To us
appears a work which will not discredit its illustrious
subject."—United Service Journal.

CLEANINGS IN NATURAL HISTORY,
being a Companion to the Journal of a Naturalist.

"The Cabinet Library bids fair to be a series of great
lne, and is recommended to public and private libraries,
professional men, and miscellaneous readers generally.
It is beautifully printed, and furnished at a price which
ll place it within the reach of all classes of society."—
American Traveller.

"The series of instructive, and, in their original form,
rpensive works, which these enterprising publishers are
w issuing under the title of the "Cabinet Library,"
a fountain of useful, and almost universal knowledge;
be advantages of which, in forming the opinions, tastes,
and manners of that portion of society, to which this
varied information is yet new, cannot be too highly
strinated."—National Journal.

"Messrs. Carey and Lea have commenced a series of
publications under the above title, which are to appear
monthly, and which seem likely, from the specimen before
is, to acquire a high degree of popularity, and to afford
a mass of various information and rich entertainment,
at once eminently useful and strongly attractive. The
mechanical execution is fine, the paper and typography
excellent."—Nashville Banner.

MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF SIR WALTER
RALEGH, with some Account of the
Period in which he lived. By MRS. A. T.
THOMSON. With a Portrait.

"Such is the outline of a life, which, in Mrs. Thomson's
hands, is a mine of interest; from the first page to
the last the attention is roused and sustained, and while
we approve the manner, we still more applaud the spirit
in which it is executed."—Literary Gazette.

JOURNAL OF A NATURALIST. With
Plates.

—Plants, trees, and stones we note;
Birds, insects, beasts, and rural things.

"We again most strongly recommend this little unpretending
volume to the attention of every lover of nature,
and more particularly of our country readers. It will
induce them, we are sure, to examine more closely than
they have been accustomed to do, into the objects of animated
nature, and such examination will prove one of
the most innocent, and the most satisfactory sources of
gratification and amusement. It is a book that ought
to find its way into every rural drawing-room in the
kingdom, and one that may safely be placed in every
lady's boudoir, be her rank and station in life what they
may."—Quarterly Review, No. LXXVIII.

"We think that there are few readers who will not
be delighted (we are certain all will be instructed) by the
`Journal of a Naturalist.' "—Monthly Review.

"This is a most delightful book on the most delightful
of all studies. We are acquainted with no previous
work which bears any resemblance to this, except
`White's History of Selborne,' the most fascinating piece
of rural writing and sound English philosophy that ever
issued from the press."—Athenæum.

"The author of the volume now before us, has produced
one of the most charming volumes we remember
to have seen for a long time."—New Monthly Magazine,
June, 1829.

"A delightful volume—perhaps the most so—nor less
instructive and amusing—given to Natural History
since White's Selborne."—Blackwood's Magazine.

"The Journal of a Naturalist, being the second number
of Carey and Lea's beautiful edition of the Cabinet
Library, is the best treatise on subjects connected with
this train of thought, that we have for a long time perused,
and we are not at all surprised that it should have
received so high and flattering encomiums from the English
press generally."—Boston Traveller.

"Furnishing an interesting and familiar account of
the various objects of animated nature, but calculated
to afford both instruction and entertainment."—Nashville
Banner.

"One of the most agreeable works of its kind in the
language."—Courier de la Louisiane.

"It abounds with numerous and curious facts, pleasing
illustrations of the secret operations and economy of
nature, and satisfactory displays of the power, wisdom
and goodness, of the great Creator."—Philad. Album.

THE MARQUESS OF LONDONDERRY'S
NARRATIVE OF THE LATE WAR IN
GERMANY AND FRANCE. With a Map.

"No history of the events to which it relates can be
correct without reference to its statements."—Literary
Gazette.

"The events detailed in this volume cannot fail to
excite an intense interest."—Dublin Literary Gazette.

"The only connected and well authenticated account
we have of the spirit-stirling scenes which preceded the
fall of Napoleon. It introduces us into the cabinets and
presence of the allied monarchs. We observe the secret
policy of each individual we see the course pursued by
the wily Bernadotte, the temporizing Metternich, and
the ambitious Alexander. The work deserves a place in
every historical library."—Globe.

"We hall with pleasure the appearance of the first
volume of the Cabinet Library." "The author had singular
facilities for obtaining the materials of his work,
and he has introduced us to the movements and measures
of cabinets which have hitherto been hidden from the
world."—American Traveller.

"It may be regarded as the most authentic of all the
publications which profess to detail the events of the
important campaigns, terminating with that which secured
the capture of the French metropolis."—Nat. Journal.

"It is in fact the only authentic account of the memorable
events to which it refers."—Nashville Banner.

"The work deserves a place in every library."—Philadelphia
Album.
