LIFE of SIR HUMPHRY DAVY. By his Brother, Dr. JOHN Davy. 2 vols. 8vo. with Portrait, 28s.

"The manner in which Dr. Davy has performed his task is highly creditable to his talents and learning. The important documents too, which he has published for the first time, are highly valuable; and enable us to form a more correct judgment than we could otherwise have done of the scientific character and general attainments of his brother."-EDINBURGH REVIEW.

Dr. Davy has not alone fulfilled his duty to his brother's memory, but conferred a lasting benefit on mankind, by unfolding the inmost mind of a good as well as great man, whose sentiments and aspirations were all in accordance with the most exalted hopes and interests of the human race."-TAIT'S MAG.

"We know not a single volume in our language containing such a mass of information. ...As a book of general reference this volume will be found extremely serviceable to persons possessing but small libraries."-EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE.

"We had occasion some time since, most conscientiously, to praise a work called 'Maunder's Treasury of Knowledge,' which appeared to us to combine in a small compass the most extensive compendium of information we had ever seen. It wanted only a 'Universal Biography.'....In a volume of equal size, Mr. Maunder has just published a work under this title; and, after a careful examination of the most recently added Lives, we can only add to our commendations of the former work, an expression of our feeling, that what we now have before us is equally deserving of praise."

"In talent, acquirement, sound thinking, and good writing, Mr. Laing belongs to the same class of travellers as Arthur Young and Alexander Humboldt."

LONDON AND WESTMINSTER REVIEW. "For minuteness of information, and amplitude of details regarding the habits, manners, customs, and general condition of the Norwegians, this work of Mr. Laing's surpasses, we think, any that has yet appeared on the same subject. We ourselves have certainly met with no work capable of affording so complete and intelligible a picture of the domestic economy, of the ordinary mode of living, and daily pursuits of this interesting people, than what is presented to us in the pages of this very entertaining volume." SCOTSMAN.

"Few writers possess in so happy a degree the faculty of putting the scenes they describe before their readers. He fills up what others leave in outline, and familiarizes us consequently with the emotions wakened, as well as the objects seen. The present volume is one of the most interesting companions that a traveller can desire, and will do much more than books ordinarily accomplish, to supersede the necessity of leaving home."-ECLECTIC REVIEW.
