Wyss, Johann David, 1743-1818

"The Swiss Family Robinson; or Adventures in a Desert Island"

Anew and
improved edition, foolscap 8vo., bound in cloth, with emblematical gilt
back and sides, gilt edges, 4s.
The SAME EDITION, plain edges, 3s. 6d.
"This is, without exception, the most complete, the best, and cheapest
edition of this universally popular work."

Macfarlane's Indian Empire,
Being our Indian Empire, its History and Present State, from the
Earliest Settlement of the British in Hindoostan to the close of the
year 1846, including the late Sikh War, and the administrations of Lords
Ellenborough and Hardinge, illustrated with steel portraits and numerous
wood engravings. Two volumes, square 8vo., cloth, full gilt back
and side, 9s.
"As a whole, the work is excellent. Just tributes are paid to the
characters of General Nott, Lord Ellenborough, the 'Fighting Napiers,'
Lord Hardinge, Sir Harry Smith, and others.
"In illustration, these volumes contain a good map of India, portraits
of Lord Clive and the Marquess Wellesley, and not fewer than forty other
engravings. Nor to the economist of money and space must the cheapness,
compactness, and portability of these volumes pass unrecommended."

Pope's Complete Poetical Works,
Including his Translations of the Iliad and Odyssey. A new edition,
edited by H.F. Cary, M.A., with a biographical notice of the author, and
an illustration.
