" The most brilliant and the most beautiful of all the effusions of Sir Bulwer Ljtton's pen of fascina-
tion." — The Sun.

" Ten Thousand a-Tear is perhaps destined, in British literature, to some such rank as Bon Quixote
holds in that of Spain." — American Journal.
" We consider Gammon the real hero in this mixed drama, which at once resembles Othello and les
Plaideurs ; the Salaii of the Epopceia, which brings to one's memory Paradise Lost and the Lutrin.
Consummate skill ; perfect hypocrisy ; indomitable energy ; unbounded ambition — there is Gammon ! "
— Revue des deux Mondes.
The Diary of a Late Physician. By
Samuel Warren, Esq., F.E.S. A New Edition. Complete in Two
Volumes, price 12s.
" We know of no book in the English language so calculated to rivet the attention, and awaken the
purest and deepest sympathies of the heart, as the Diary of a Late Physician. The man who has not
read these tales has yet to learn a lesson in the mysteries of human nature ; and though Ten Thousand
a-Year may, as a literary composition, claim precedence, we think it lacks something — a very little —
of that truthful simplicity, that trusting and religious fervour, that refines every sentiment and hallows
every aspiration inspired by the elder work." — Oxford and Cambridge Review.
Now and Then. By Samuel Warren,
Esq., F.!R.S. A New Edition, with the Author's last Corrections and
a Preface. In One volume royal post Syo, price 10s. 6d.
" Such is the outline of Mr WaiTen's present work- — a vindication, in beautiful prose, of the ' ways of
God to man.' A grander moral is not to be found than that which dwells upon the reader's mind
■when the book is closed ; conveyed, too, as it is, in language as masculine and eloquent as any the
English tongue can furnish." — Times.
" It is sculpture, not painting, that we have here to deal with. The characters are few, the events
simple ; and both characters and events stand broadly and boldly out, chiselled into big, massive, rigid
proportions. It is a book displaying peculiar and remarkable talents. In parts the narration is of
breathless interest. There is an utter and blessed absence of conventionalism about the tale ; and it is
invested with a species of severe epic grandeur, which, as it were, overshadows the mind." — Morning
Chronicle.

DUTIES OF ATTOENEYS AND SOLICITORS. By Samuel
Warren, Esq., F.R.S., one of Her Majesty's Counsel. Second Edition.
