And the Child was become happy and joyful, and breathed freely again, and thought no more of returning to his hut, for he saw that nothing returned inwards, but rather that all strove outwards into the free air; the rosy apple blossoms from their narrow buds, and the gurgling notes from the narrow breast of the lark. The germs burst open the folding doors of the seeds, and broke through the heavy pressure of the earth in order to get at the light: the grasses tore asunder their bands, and their slender blades sprung upwards. Even the rocks were become gentle, and allowed little mosses to peep out from their sides, as a sign that they would not remain impenetrably closed for ever. And the flowers sent out colour and fragrance into the whole world, for they kept not their best for themselves, but would imitate the sun and the stars, which poured their warmth and radiance over the spring. And many a little gnat and beetle burst the narrow cell in which it was enclosed, and crept out slowly, and, half asleep, unfolded and shook its tender wings, and soon gained strength, and flew off to untried delights.

And as the butterflies came forth from their chrysalids in all their gaiety and splendour, so did every humbled and suppressed aspiration and hope free itself, and boldly launch into the open and flowing sea of spring.

MRS. AUSTIN’S BIBLE SELECTIONS.
In One Volume, 12mo., neatly bound, with a Frontispiece
from Flaxman, engraved by Moses, price 5s.,
SELECTIONS
FROM
THE OLD TESTAMENT;
OR
THE RELIGION, MORALITY, AND POETRY OF THE
HEBREW SCRIPTURES
ARRANGED UNDER HEADS.
By SARAH AUSTIN.


“My sole object has been to put together all that presented itself to my own heart and mind as most persuasive, consolatory, or elevating, in such a form and order as to be easy of reference, conveniently arranged and divided, and freed from matter either hard to be understood, unattractive, or unprofitable (to say the least) for young and pure eyes.”—Preface.

Critical Notices of the Work.

“This Selection is executed with judgment and taste. Religious parents will esteem themselves happy in having such a reading-book to put into the hands of their children; and if they themselves have not so familiarly used the Bible, that they cannot instantly lay their finger on the precise passage in accordance with their wants or feelings, they will be glad of so pleasant and so instructive a guide as these Selections. It may be called, without profanation, the beauties of the Bible; we may add, that no work under that title ever presented its extracts with less appearance of being fractured, or torn up violently from the parent mass.”—Spectator.

“Mrs. Austin has performed her humble but laborious task in a manner that reflects much credit on her heart and judgment. As a sacred lesson-book for children, we have seen none to be compared to this. The compiler is entitled to the best thanks of the religious world, and especially of every parent.”—Literary Gazette.

“There can be no doubt of the excellent intentions of the compiler of the work. It has been arranged with care, and an attentive perusal by young persons cannot fail to be morally serviceable. Nothing but a conviction of the utility of such a work could have induced her to undertake it, and we wish it success, acknowledging that it may be beneficially made a class school-book for young children.”—AthenÆum.

“The object is an excellent one, and the mode of execution has our warmest approbation.”—Asiatic Journal.

“It appears to us that this work removes the only valid objection that can be urged against putting the Scriptures into the hands of the rising generation. We wish that we had sufficient space to do justice to this estimable undertaking. Every parent who has the eternal welfare of a family at heart will hail this lady as a friend and a benefactress.”—Metropolitan Magazine.

“The plan is very original, and, in our view of the matter, excellently adapted to its purpose. The labour of the compilation must have been long, serious, and severe, but it seems to have been employed to excellent purpose. In schools, and as a class and instruction book for children, it is admirably adapted. Mothers will adopt it, and we feel no doubt of its obtaining a wide and most useful circulation amongst all who desire to make Scripture truths the foundation of a religious and moral education. It presents, in fact, the Bible in a totally new, and therefore freshly interesting view, as a book of divine and moral truth.”—Norwich Mercury.

“Mrs. Austin has done her work well; and we recommend it to the attention of all those whose faith has not altogether usurped the place of their reason.”—Bell’s New Weekly Messenger.

“Selections, we believe, are now generally used in schools, but none that have fallen under our own notice at all equal the present attempt. It is not every one that can be intrusted with making these Selections. The present is made by Mrs. Austin, a lady distinguished for many accomplishments, and particularly for her singular power of not translating, but transmuting German books into English ones.”—United Kingdom.

“It seems to us, that illustrations better calculated to impress upon young persons clear and striking views of the Divine attributes, of the human condition, and of religious and moral obligations, could with difficulty have been extracted from such materials as the Old Testament offers.”—Times.

“With great taste has Mrs. Austin selected from these materials, and with sound judgment arranged her selections. Passages on the same topic are brought together from different places, and interwoven with great skill, so as to read continuously and fluently. These selections are, in fact, the spirit of the Old Testament, disengaged from local and temporary appendages; and we do not see why they might not be used in the pulpit as well as in schools.”—Monthly Repository.

LECTIONES LATINÆ;
Or, LESSONS IN LATIN LITERATURE:

Being a choice Collection of Amusing and Instructive Pieces, in Prose and Verse, selected from the Writings of the most celebrated Latin Authors.

IN FOUR PARTS.

Part I.—An Interlinear, Literal, and Free Translation.
Part II.—A Poetic Translation, and a Literal one with an Ordo.
Part III.—An Ordo, with a Literal and Free Translation.

ADAPTED FOR SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE STUDENTS.
By J. ROWBOTHAM, F.R.A.S. London,
Author of German and French Lessons, a German and a French Grammar, Algebra
and Key, &c.

“This is an exceedingly clever work, and contains the best rudimental Latin Grammar we have seen, although it is modestly insinuated under another title. We have no hesitation in saying an intelligent boy would learn more from this book, in a week, than he possibly could in quadruple the period from any other we have seen.”—United Kingdom, May 27, 1832.

IMPORTANCE OF PUNCTUALITY ENFORCED.

A FRENCH GRAMMAR,
Divided into Four Parts.
The Pronunciation; the Accidence; the Syntax; and the Appendix.
By P. F. MERLET,
Teacher of the French Language at the University of London.

“All the rules we find arranged in this Grammar with the utmost simplicity and perspicuity, none occupying more than two lines, and arranged in so convenient a manner as to render references very easy. At the same time every rule is illustrated by a number of plain practical sentences, such as are wanted in the common intercourse of life, and are made familiar by exercises of a similar kind. The Tables of Declensions and Conjugations are also admirably clear. It is almost impossible to represent sound to the eye; yet the rules of Pronunciation laid down in this book are so systematic and precise as to render them a great help to those who have had some oral instruction. The Appendix, or a ‘Dictionary of Difficulties,’ which also sells separately, will be found an excellent book of reference to the more advanced student, more useful than French works of this kind, as it is evidently the work of a man who, by long practice, has made himself fully acquainted with all those points in his language which offer difficulties to the English learner.”—Monthly Review.

In One thick Vol. 12mo., Price 10s. boards, or 10s. 6d. bound.

New Editions of the separate Parts may be had at the following Prices:

Part I.—Treatise on Pronunciation. Price 2s. 6d. bound.

Part II.—The Accidence. Offering tabular views of all the Parts of Speech in the French Language, with brief and simple Explanations, Examples, and easy Exercises on each. Price 3s. bd.

Part III.—The Syntax. Containing the most necessary Rules, clearly and concisely explained. Price 3s. 6d. bound.

N. B. These Three Parts form a complete Grammar, bound in one vol. price 8s.

Part IV.—The Appendix; or Dictionary of Difficulties, Idioms, Synonymes, &c. of the French Language. Price 3s. 6d. bound.


LE TRADUCTEUR;
Or, HISTORICAL, DRAMATIC, AND MISCELLANEOUS
SELECTIONS,

From the best French Writers, on a plan calculated to render reading and translation peculiarly serviceable in acquiring the Speaking and Writing of the French Language; accompanied by Explanatory Notes, a Selection of Idioms, and concise Tables of the Parts of Speech, and of Verbs.

By P. F. MERLET,
Teacher of the French Language at the University of London.

In this Edition, the author has made every improvement in the selection of Pieces, as well as the Explanatory Notes, (both of which have been considerably increased,) which constant practice in teaching could suggest.

“We pretend to judge somewhat more accurately of the quality of this work than most of our neighbours; and we have no hesitation in recording our opinion to be, that it has deservedly reached a Second Edition, and that it ought to go through many more. It is decidedly the best work of the kind with which we have yet met, and ought to be in the hands of every one who is desirous of becoming acquainted with the structure, the idioms, and the niceties, of the French language.”—Morning Advertiser.

“The author has been careful to select such pieces only as are instructive and entertaining, and may be placed, without reserve, in the hands of youth of both sexes;—to embrace every possible variety in word, phrase, or sentence; and to afford a ready exemplification of the rules of grammar, by appropriate remarks and numerous notes on those peculiarities which form the most difficult parts of the French language.”—Gentleman’s Magazine.

“A judicious, instructive, and entertaining selection, free from every immoral or irreligious thought or expression which French language contains.”—Literary Panorama.

Second Edition, much improved, Price 5s. 6d. handsomely bound.

SYNOPSIS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
By P. F. MERLET,
Teacher of the French Language in the University of London.

? To those who have already gone through the French Grammar, this little work will be of infinite service, as it will enable them, at one view, to refresh their memory, by means of Tables representing the verbs, and the most essential rules concisely expressed, and each accompanied by an example, so arranged as to make the whole a Tabular View of French Grammar.

12mo., Price 2s. 6d. bound in cloth.

? Such is the confidence of the Publisher in the decided superiority of the Works of Professor Merlet, which have already been adopted at the University of London, and many of the most respectable Seminaries of Education, that he offers to the Heads of Schools and to Teachers, who may become purchasers of them, to return the money for any of which they may not approve.


School Prize and Christmas Present.
TALES FROM CHAUCER, IN PROSE:
DESIGNED CHIEFLY FOR THE USE OF YOUNG PERSONS.
By CHARLES COWDEN CLARKE.

“Mr. Clarke may, we think, be assured of realizing the wish he has expressed in his preface, of adding to the number of those who read and relish Chaucer in the original. The book is altogether an extremely pretty and delightful one, and certainly far exceeds what our reminiscences of the Canterbury Tales would have given us reason to expect of Chaucer turned into prose.”—Atlas.

UTILITY OF LATIN DISCUSSED,

For the Consideration of Parents, or those who have Influence in the Choice or Direction of Juvenile Education.

By JUSTIN BRENAN,
Author of “Composition and Punctuation,” &c.

In this little treatise, the important subject of classical utility is placed in an original and highly interesting point of view, and entirely free from the prejudices that are usually brought in aid of such discussions.

“We are happy in having another opportunity of complimenting the author of ‘Composition and Punctuation,’ on a work which, unlike many of the present day, contains multum in parvo, in which, in short, good sense and practical utility are in an immense ratio to its size and page.”—Edinburgh Literary Journal.

Price 2s. boards.


RECREATIONS IN SCIENCE,
OR,

By the Author of “Endless Amusement.”

COMPOSITION AND PUNCTUATION
Familiarly Explained.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEGLECTED THE STUDY OF GRAMMAR.

This popular work is now re-produced with very important attractions. Not only is every article revised with great attention, but so much has been added, that the present edition may be considered as almost a new work.

By JUSTIN BRENAN,
Author of “The Foreigner’s English Conjugator,” &c.

“We have read this little book with much satisfaction. Something of the kind has been long wanted, and the want is now very ingeniously supplied. ‘My object,’ says the author, ‘is to instruct those who know how to read and write, but who are unacquainted with grammar. I propose, strange as it may appear, to show such persons how they may compose sentences, of which they may not at least be ashamed, and how they may express their meaning intelligibly, without exciting a laugh at their expense.’ This object Mr. Brenan has attained in a simple and agreeable manner, and we, therefore, confidently recommend his book to those whose early education has been neglected, and who are now afraid to enter upon all the difficulties of grammar. We shall ourselves present copies of it to several mechanics and others, in whose progress we take an interest.”—Edinburgh Literary Journal.

Third Edition, considerably augmented, 18mo. Price 4s. boards.


Influence of Climate on the Constitution.
HISTORY AND TREATMENT OF COLDS AND COUGHS,

THE PHENOMENA OF NATURE
Familiarly Explained.
A Book for Parents and Instructors, and especially adapted to Schools.
Translated from the German of WILHELM VON TÜRK.

“Its object is to bring before the young pupil, in a familiar manner, the different phenomena of nature. It presents a variety of subjects for the child’s consideration, the knowledge of which is useful, and besides admirably calculated to draw out his powers of observation.”—Journal of Education, No 1.

“This is the best and most practical lesson-book on Nature, in the language. We strongly recommend its introduction into schools, and all places of education, public and private. We would have the work made a school-room companion for three or four years, between the ages of eight and twelve, and, in the course of that time, mastered from end to end by the pupil.”—Spectator.

Price 4s. 6d. cloth.

In One Volume, 8vo. Price 8s. cloth.


BOOK-KEEPING.

A NEW CHECK JOURNAL

UPON THE PRINCIPLE OF DOUBLE ENTRY.

Which exhibits a continued, systematic, and self-verifying Record of Accounts of Individual and Partnership Concerns, and shews, at one view, the real state of a Merchant’s or Trader’s Affairs, by a Single Book only, even should a Ledger not have been kept.

It places all matters connected with the mercantile world in such a plain light, that the confusion attendant upon irregularity or ignorance may be avoided and prevented by a mere mechanical observance of the system he lays down. His plan is practical and conclusive, and the improvements he suggests upon the works of his predecessors are the evident results of long experience and consideration.”—Atlas.

In 18mo., Price 2s. 6d., bound in cloth.


MRS. AUSTIN’S GOETHE.
In Three Volumes, Post Octavo, with Portraits, &c., Price 30s.,
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOETHE,
From the German of Falk, Von Muller, &c.
With Notes, Original and Translated, illustrative of German Literature.
By SARAH AUSTIN.

“We have here a mine of curious observation. Falk’s part is full of interest: we pass from one bold originality of fine thought to another, and each is a theme for reflection; it is well for us that Goethe had a friend in whose ear these jewels were treasured.”—Examiner.

“We are indebted to Mrs. Austin for one of the most elegant and complete translations which ever enriched the stores of the English language. You see the genius of a foreign language, but it does not appear in a rough or abrupt guise—the stranger appears as much at home as if he had lived with us all his life. The remarkable peculiarity of all that relates to Goethe, seems to be in this—your mind takes a leap after reading his works, or examining his character; nothing about him is common-place or vulgar; even his attachment to a courtier’s life is full of a certain intellectual poetry; he looked upon it as we look upon a play, in which the real actors are often but poor creatures, but in which the delusions which surround them are full of magic and of grace.”—New Monthly Magazine.


On a neat Coloured Card, Price 1s.
PRINTED IN GOLD, SILVER, AND BRONZE,
A LABYRINTH:
Formed of a variety of Trees, Shrubs, Water, &c.

Intended as an amusing puzzle for Young People. The object is the discovery of the Road to the Temple, by means of one of the numerous paths with which it is intersected. Whilst its intricacy excites in the explorer a spirit of emulation, it does not induce a propensity to gaming, which is inseparable from many of the amusements of youth.


THE GERMAN IN ENGLAND.
In 2 Vols. post 8vo. with a Portrait, Price 21s.
TOUR OF A GERMAN PRINCE.
TOUR IN GERMANY, HOLLAND, AND ENGLAND:

Forming the two concluding volumes of the Tour of a German Prince. Comprising, London,—The Nobility, and their Mansions, &c.-the Ascot, Newmarket, Doncaster, and York Races;—and Tour to the North of England, &c.

Also, price 18s. a New Edition of Vols. I. and II.;

Comprising the SOUTHERN and WESTERN PARTS of ENGLAND, WALES, IRELAND, and FRANCE.

“The Tour of a German Prince is a work of much interest to Englishmen, since it tells with truth and without ceremony, what an individual capable of judging, really thinks of our country and its people. The writer, indeed, appears to have carefully committed to paper the events of every day at its close; hence the impressions are most distinct, striking, and lively; so graphic and true, indeed, are his pictures, that we feel as if we were the companions of his journey, and the partakers of his adventures.”—Scotsman.

The Work complete in 4 Vols. Price 39s.


THE ITALIAN IN ENGLAND.

Observations of an Exile in England.

By COUNT PECCHIO.

“He is occasionally satirical, but he has not the asperity of Mirabeau, or the German Prince. Driven from his native land by a despotic government, the Count found in England a safe and agreeable asylum, and he has not shown himself ungrateful; the errors into which he has fallen are such as every Englishman will excuse in a foreigner, whose admiration of England and her people breaks out in almost every page of the work. We have been delighted with the good temper of this author, and refer our readers to the work as a most agreeable fire-side companion.”—Morning Chronicle.

“We scarcely know how to extract, where almost every sentence contains observations and remarks conceived and expressed in a manner most creditable to the moral feelings of the author.”—Quarterly Review.

“His observations are altogether the most intelligent, discriminating, and instructive that we have ever seen from the pen of a foreigner.”—Eclectic Review.

One Volume, Post 8vo., Price 10s. 6d.


THE FRENCHMAN IN ENGLAND.

Never before published in any Language.

MIRABEAU’S LETTERS
DURING HIS RESIDENCE IN ENGLAND.

With Anecdotes, Maxims, &c., now first translated from the original Manuscripts. To which is prefixed, an Introductory Notice of the Life, Writings, Conduct, and Character of the Author.

“The public are much indebted to the spirited publisher for the possession of these interesting letters, which, on the whole, set the character of Mirabeau in an advantageous light, and will be one of the literary pleasures of retrospective posterity.”—Bell’s New Weekly Messenger.

“These letters are a very valuable gift to the literary world. They contain the sentiments and observations of one of the most extraordinary characters in the most extraordinary epoch of modern times.”—Asiatic Journal.

In Two Vols. Post 8vo., with a Portrait, Price 21s.


MURAT’S EIGHT YEARS IN THE UNITED STATES.

North America; a Moral and Political Sketch.

By ACHILLE MURAT,
Son of the late King of Naples.

With a Note on Negro Slavery. By Junius Redivivus.

The United States have attracted very general attention of late: the conflicting opinions of recent travellers in this interesting quarter of the Globe are somewhat perplexing. In the Monthly Review is given an able analysis of the several writers, which concludes in these words:—“We think the volume of M. Murat by far the best. He is a much more able man than Mr. Stuart: his views are more enlarged, and his acquaintance with mankind much more intimate. His opinions are well expressed; the topics on which he writes are well selected and arranged, and we recommend his book to every one who is desirous of obtaining information relative to the Union.”

In One Vol., Post 8vo., Price 10s. 6d. Small Edition, foolscap, Price 7s. 6d. With a neat Coloured Map.


Good Teeth, independent of their great utility, are essential to Female Beauty.

With a List of the Governors, corrected for June, 1833, (for which alone One Guinea is charged at the School,) and the Mode of obtaining Presentation.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHRIST’S HOSPITAL IN LONDON,

FROM ITS FOUNDATION TO THE PRESENT TIME.

“This entertaining little volume is the production of a grateful scholar of this matchless and most extensively useful foundation. Every species of information that can reasonably be desired will be found in Mr. Wilson’s History.”—Gentleman’s Mag.

Fifth Edition, in 12mo., Price 5s. boards, with several Engravings.


A SUITABLE PRESENT FOR YOUTH.

TALES OF OTHER DAYS.

ILLUSTRATIVE OF HISTORY.

By J. Y. A.

WITH ENGRAVINGS, AFTER DESIGNS BY
GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.

“This is one of the most attractive publications we have lately seen; it consists of a series of remarkably well-written and interesting Tales of the olden time, with Illustrations by George Cruikshank. Of these Illustrations it is scarcely possible to speak in any other than terms of unqualified praise—they combine so much of the ludicrous and the terrible, and are so completely in Cruikshank’s best style, that we feel justified in expressing an opinion that this publication will even add to that unrivalled artist’s fame. The volume is altogether well got up—the printing is remarkably neat, and the Tales are of a pleasingly varied character.”—Weekly Dispatch.

See also Literary Gazette, AthenÆum, La Belle AssemblÉe, Sunday Times, &c. &c.
