"We have preferred amusing extracts in such as we have taken from Mr. Gunning's Reminiscences;' but let not the reader suppose that there is not also grave information in them.

THE RICHES OF

POVERTY.

ECCLES. In Fcap. 8vo, Price 5s.

A Tale.

By Mrs.

"A sound and intelligent book. We can conscientiously recommend it. We have gone through it with interest, and are perfectly certain that those of our readers who may peruse it, especially such as have children, will thank us for drawing attention to a work so innocently amusing and pleasantly instructive. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it one of the best works of its kind."-Churchman's Magazine.

THE HAYMAKERS' HISTORIES. Twelve Cantos in Terza Rima. By RUTHER. 12mo, price 48.

"This is a scholarly little book, sweet as a meadow at haytime, and full of summer influences. We confess this little volume excites our curiosity; and as to the writer, the skill with which the metre is carried through, the almost immaculate correctness of the rhymes, and the equality of strength which pervades the whole, would indicate a poet of some standing, although the style resembles none that we remember. Really, an imitation of some of Crabbe's works becomes in his hands a poem as dainty and fanciful as the garden scenes of Queen Fiametta in the Decamerone.'-Athenæum.

"Many a faithful miniature of healthy rustic life."-Westminster Review. "The bard often rises to the fervour and dignity of a true poet of nature and the heart."-Dublin Advertiser.

"Rather an ingenious attempt to attain a chief result of double entry, by an
extension of the system of single entry, intended chiefly for retail dealers and
those who do not or cannot employ a book-keeper. Each person must, of
course, apply the system for himself, modifying the theory to his own case;
and by a close attention to the book, he may be able sufficiently to master its
principles to do so."- Spectator.
