MAXWELL, Esq. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "This is one of the best of all the Irish novelsfull of spirit, fun, drollery, and wit, and embellished by numerous engravings."-COURIER AND ENQR. "In all the lands where fame has flourished, or fun is flourishing-where merriment draws open the jaws with a laugh, or pathos draws down the eyelids with a tear-there is no doubt Hector O'Halloran will become a general favorite with all readers, and be received with the most fraternal greetings of jov and affection."-BRISTOL MIRROR. "His narrative is picturesque, and his dialogue lively. The book can not but meet with success."LIVERPOOL ALBION. "It would be quite absurd were we to offer any comment on the style of the author of the 'Stories of Waterloo.' It would be to paint the lily.' The quotation is old, but the application is happy in this instance."-CORK EXAMINER. The dramatist personæ are admirably well drawn. The character of Father Dominic, and that of Mary Halligan, have a relish and truthfulness about them "Not a page can be read without dispelling the blues, and putting a misanthrope in the best of humor. Lover and Maxwell, the fathers respective of 'Handy Andy' and 'Hector O'Halloran,' are kindred spirits, and worthy, like Botts and the Captain, to sleep in the same bed. Whoever would laugh and grow fat,' should read the story of Hector's adventures."-BROOKLYN EAGLE. "Hector O'Halloran' may rank with the best of his class. It is full of fun and adventures."-BurFALO COM. ADV. Complete in paper covers, with two plates, 50 cents-in boards, with twenty-three plates, $1in cloth, gilt, $1.25. "HANDY ANDY." BY SAMUEL LOVER, Esq. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "This boy Handy will be the death of us. What, is the police force about to allow the uttering of a publication that has already brought us to the brink of apoplexy fifty times? Grave people, undertakers, sextons, and the like, may, perhaps, read with impunity. Such may laugh over it, but let a fellow with a squeeze of natural fun in him, venture to peruse it, and we'll lay ten to one it throws him into convulsions."-SPORTING REVIEW. "We feel indebted to the publishers, not only for the book, but for the hearty laugh we have had over It. Our sides fairly ache from the effect, as bad as even the unfortunate Trumpeter's did from overstraining, or O'Grady's kicking. Any one afflicted with the blues, will find a sovereign remedy in Handy Andy."-BROOKLYN NEWS. The fatality which attends everything to which Handy puts he hands is not only excessively droll, but highly dramatic, without treading upon natural onduct and its natural results. Unlike other folks. his very blunders will make his course prosperous; for who that can read would be without so entertaining a companion as Handy Andy."- LITERARY CAZ "The richest, raciest, and the most frolicking Irish story we have ever perused."- LONDON JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. "The history of Handy Andy presents a particular and faithful account of one of the 'cutest Paddies that ever made use of his fists."-UNITED SERVICE GAZ "We trust, for many a succeeding month, to grasp the extended hand of our friend Andy, and each time with renewed pleasure."-SUNDAY TIMES. "Handy Andy is the name of a new work by Mr Lover, the author of 'Rory O'More,' and one of the admirable Crichtons of the day.

BY ALESSANDRO MANZONI. Two neat Vo.umes, 12mo. Paper cover, $1. Cloth, $150 This is a work of absorbing interest, with regard to the varied incidents which mark the progress of the characters who figure in it. The scene is laid in Italy, in the beginning of the seventeenth century, and the tale of the Betrothed, to whose union obstacles are continually occurring, gives a vivid picture of the state of society, moral social, religious, and political, at that time. It is an admirable adjunct to history, furnishing a key to the strange events that occurred in the peninsula, during the prevalence of Spanish dominion there. Manzoni has here truly realized his quaint idea of history-true his tory, which analyzes society to its elements-taking prisoners by force the Years of Time, already dead; calling them to life, bringing them under review, and re-arraying them in battle array!' The descriptions in this tale are exquisitely beautiful, the moral and religious tone of a lofty nature, and the path of the actors is bestrewed with every possible variety of agitating matter-battle, murder, and sudden death'-the bravo, or hireling assassin, the plotting monk, the venal and voluptuary noble, on one side of the picture; while maiden constancy, chivalric levotedness, simple truth, and civic virtues brighten the other. It is a work which has made a greater sensation in Europe than that of any other writer of fiction, since the publication of the Waverly series. We recom mend it to the perusal of ail who have leisure to lose an hour or so in the company of the accomplished author, amidst the exciting scenes of life in Italy two centuries ago."— Southern Patriot. "This far-famed specimen of Italian historical romance is here presented to us in an English form. The elegant simplicity of the style will render it popular, especially among the younger classes of readers, and its faithful but minute description of the famine, riots, and the plague in Milan, rival in force and pathos the pages of our own immortal Defos. The story is of the most natural and touching character-the plot being the prolonged separation of the betrothed lovers just at the eve of marriage. The date is rather more than two centuries ago, and the work gives a vivid portraiture of that lawless age."— Sath Chronicle. "We are delighted to meet with this masterpiece of modern fiction in a form which may render it accessible to the English reading public. The Italians consider ‘The Botrothed' the first fiction of the age, holding some affinity to the school of Sir Walter Scott, but surpassing his works in power and depth, as we confess it certainly does is mora. design. The Betrothed' is well translated and very handsomely got up; so as të be entitled by its dress to appear in the most refined circles, and by its intrinsic qualities te cherm and instruct every class of readers."-Tait's Magazine. |
