Just published , T HE AUTOBIOGRAPHY of LEIGH HUNT ; with Beininiscences of Friends and Contemporaries . In 3 vpl » ., post 8 vo . with Three Portraits , price 31 s . 6 d ., cloth . "The Autobiography of Leigh Hunt ought to be a valuable and intlriS work . His life has been a long and varied one ; the hero ha . pfayed a tolerably ^" tinguished part on the literary ¦ taee , has seen and suffered much , and has mixed in Ins time fanfiliarly with notabilities of every kind . • • In spite of thVmany faults of the work , there are chapters to be found in these volume * worthy of Mr . Hunt ' s pen . and very delightful to read . Beautiful fragments of criticism shine here and there withunmistakeable lustre . "—Times . " A book crammed full of pleasant things , and bright with the sudden withdrawals of the veil which hangs over human life . It charms by its wit , its delicately-picked style , its genial humour and anecdote , and its subtle appreciations . It is a book to be read and reread again and again . " —Leader . "These volumes contain a personal recollection 01 the literature and politics , as well as some of the most remarkable literary men and politicians , of the last fifty years . The reminiscences are varied by sketches of manners during the same period , and by critical remarks on various topics . They are also extended by boyish recollection , family tradition , and contemporary reading ; so that we have a sort of social picture of almost a century , with its fluctuations of public fortune and its changes of fashions , manners , and opinions . " —Spectator . " In these volumes we have Leigh Hunt before us , with all his cleverness , all his honesty , and more goodnature than ever . It is a book which it does one good to read . There are some noble lessons of toleration and charity , of faith and courage , to be learnt from it . "—Atlat . " There has been no work of its kind published for many years half so valuable in every respect as this Autobiography of Leigh Hunt , and none recently produced half so amusing . "—Observer . " A delightful work . It contains something for every class of readers . Mr . Hunt has given us a pleasant gossipin ? book that will be generally , not to say universally , read . "—Economist . London : Smith , Elder , and Co ., 65 , Cornhill .

The Reasoner is c ? . lm . affectedly dispassionate , impersonal ; piques itself upojrbeing scrupulously exact in its statement of facts , rigorous in its inductions , and charitable and tolerant in its judgment . This air , which seems partly real , is eminently calculated to prepossess its readers witli the idea of its strength and firmness . Its conductors are b y no means commonplace men . There is evidently a great deal of ability in them . Such men may not be despised , nor their doings overlooked . The writers of the other works which we have classed with this have no objects beyond tho miserable pittance which their labour brings them . These men have a creed . They apparently have principles , too , at stake . —Daily News . London : James Watson , 3 , Qucon ' s Head-passage .
