T l i n i D SERIES.
Comprising Cousin William, and Gervase Skinner.
" These tales partake of the merits of the two former series, while
they excel them in vivacity, truth, and copiousness of character. In
the facility with which Mr. Hook sketches personal pecuhanties, he
is unrivalled the readiness with which he falls into all the uttle
nicetie" and familiarities which maifc the tone of society, is equally
striking. The Uttle appearance of labour in his writings—the singular
warmth and unstudied vigour of his sentences, complete the e/fect,
and make his works the most lively, and, at the same time, the truest
pictures of life we have yet met with among late wri ters. '—4 «as.

T H E MAN OF REFINEMENT.
BY R. P. WARD, ESQ.
" We feel assured that no fastidious person who is at all awake to
his own defects, can read ' Tremaine' without being persuaded that
i t affords most useful and practical lessons of conduct. Our youth
look to the poetry, and not to the reality, of life ; and it is the object
of this book to show that the individual who adopts such an idea mars
his own happiness, as much as be fails in his duty towards the commnnicy.
It is the object of this novel to show that uo duty or innocent
occupation which occnpies the rest of the world is to be rejected
with contempt; that society, if worthy in other respects, is not to be
shunned because it is not super-eminently relined; and that even
the sweets of l iterature are to be sipped rather than swallowed m a
of a higher purpose and value than to be
read and forthwith dismissed-, they are of the kind to be stored in
private libraries, and recurred to from time to time, as a still fresh
solace and delight."—SM«.

THE NAVAL OFFICER.
B Y CAPTAI N MARRY AT.
" T h e author o f 'Frank Mildmay,' ' Peter Simple,' and ' Jacob Faithful'
stands alone amongst the writers of his century."
" Our naval officer sketches his life and adventures almost with the
naivete and candoxir of Rousseau in his ' Confessions but his adventures
are infinitely more numerous and diversified. Commencingwith
his boyish days, and his midshipman' s berth, we are carried through
calm and hurricane, îu all quarters of the globe ; we are mixed m
fights, from the adventurous and desperate boardmg expedition, to
the scientific battle of ileets, and from the action purely naval, to the
mixed service of which the pailor becomes amphibious, defending forts
as he would a maintop, and swimming off, when beaten, to his ship,
as he would descend from a tottering mast by a haul-yard or backstay.
We should not be surprised if this production of Captain Marryat becomes
even more popular than his ' Jacob FaitbfuV or his « Peter
Simple ;' for it ought to be the future vade-mecum of every midshipman
on bi s entering the s e r v i c e . " — I ' o s t .
