Company with the late Lord Byron; including a Life of Ali Pasha, and illustrated by Views of Athens, Constantinople, and various other Plates, Maps, &c. By JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE, Esq. M.P. Second Edition, with Corrections. 2 vols. 4to. 5l. 5s. boards. "Both the general reader and the scholar may look for no small portion of information and amusement from the present volume. The work itself will have a standard place in all Collections of Voyages and Travels; a place which it will fully merit, by the industry and ardour of research conspicuous throughout, as well as by the spirit vivacity and good sense of the general narrative."--_Quarterly Review_, XIX. "The narrative which he has produced bears unquestionable marks of a curious, capacious and observant mind; and the same may be said of the poetical production of his friend Lord Byron, who accompanied him on his Travels. As Reviewers are sometimes charged with a propensity to cavilling, we will not close these introductory remarks without declaring in round terms in justice to Mr. Hobhouse, and in vindication of ourselves, that we have received as much pleasure and instruction from the perusal of these Travels as from that of any others which have ever come before us," &c. &c.--_British Review_, No. IX. HORAE IONICAE, descriptive of the Ionian Isles and Part of the adjacent Coast of Greece, together with other Poems. By WALLER RODWELL WRIGHT, Esq. Third Edition. 7s 6d. boards. "Wright?[58] 'twas thy happy lot at once to view Those shores of glory, and to sing them too; And sure no common muse inspired thy pen To hail the land of gods and godlike men." [Footnote 58: 'Mr. Wright, late Consul General for the Seven Islands, is author of a very beautiful Poem just published: it is entitled Horae Ionicae, and is descriptive of the Isles and the adjacent Coast of Greece.'--_Lord Byron's English Bards_.] AN HISTORICAL SKETCH of the LAST YEARS of the REIGN of GUSTAVUS the FOURTH, late KING OF SWEDEN, including a Narrative of the Causes, Progress, and Termination of the late Revolution; and an Appendix containing Official Documents, Letters, and Minutes of Conversations between the late King and Sir John Moore, General Brune, &c. &c. 10s. 6d. boards.
