 MR. MURRAY'S LIST OF WORKS.

 VCtyWi 
 
 ILLUMINATED AND ILLUSTRATED- 
 
 fXF the various Works which are capable of Pictorial Decoration and 
 Illustration, none seem more appropriately adapted for that object 
 than our admirable Book op Common Prayer. One of the first 
 exercises of the painter's pencil, on the revival of the Arts in the early 
 ages of Christianity, was to furnish embellishments for copies of the 
 Holy Scriptures, Books of Devotion, Missals, Psalters, and the like, and 
 some of the oldest specimens of the kind known were produced in the 
 British Islands, during the ages styled dark. Such works, however, from 
 the great cost of producing them, have hitherto been confined to public 
 libraries and a few wealthy proprietors. The resources of modern art? 
 and improved mechanical contrivances, render it practicable, in the present 
 day, to produce a work of this kind at a moderate price ; and it is hoped 
 that an Edition of the Common Prayer, adorned with good taste and 
 propriety, may not be unwelcome to the Public. 
 
 The Embellishments of the present Edition consist of— 
 
 I. — Nearly Three Hundred different Ornamental Borders, 
 Scrolls, Foliage, Head-pieces, and Vignettes, and about Seven 
 Hundred different Ornamental Initials, Original Designs, by 
 Owen Jones. Great care has been taken to avoid all questionable 
 emblems.

 Jones : —

 "The old Lord Treasurer Burleigh, if any one came to the Lords of the Council for a

 taken to introduce every church, build-

 markable men.

 THE 
 
 MARLBOROUGH LETTERS AND DESPATCHES, 
 
 FROM 1702 TO 1712. 
 
 RECENTLY DISCOVERED AT WOODSTOCK. 
 By SIR GEORGE MURRAY, G.C.B. Three Vols. 8vo, 31. 
 
 " Sir George Murray has performed his task in 
 the manner to be expected from his own accom- 
 plishments as a gentlemanly scholar, a statesman, 
 and a high military authority. His summaries of 
 events and general views at particular periods, 
 coincident with the dates of the correspondence, 
 are clear and comprehensive ; and having stored 
 our minds from these little treasuries of a few 
 pages, we start again with renewed knowledge and 
 appetite for the details of the ensuing letters, till 
 we arrive at another stage, and are then enlightened 
 as before. The character of Marlborough will be 
 much enhanced and exalted by their publication, 
 and the grasp of his intellect proven to be far more 
 extended than has hitherto been allowed even by 
 favourable writers." — Literary Gazette. 
 
 " These Letters and Despatches afford honour- 
 able proofs of his consummate abilities as a diplo- 
 matist and a statesman. Although the personal 
 interest of these volumes is not equal to their 
 historical importance, they contain many traits and 
 incidents illustrative of a period to which English- 
 men have been accustomed to refer with more 
 pride than discrimination, and they unfold the 
 secret spring of some events which hitherto ranked 
 among the disputed, if not the unsolved problems 
 of our annals." — Athenaeum. 
 
 " Exhibits in a striking degree the prudence, 
 foresight, and patience of Marlborough, and 
 throws a new light upon his character, raising 
 him higher than he stood before. Judging him 
 not only from what he did, but what he would 
 have done had the allies but followed his perfectly 
 practicable advice, we are inclined to place him at 
 the head of modern captains — as combining the 
 caution and safety of Wellington with the rapidity 
 
 and dazzling movements of Napoleon. * * * * 
 The volumes have been edited with great care 
 and pains by Sir George Murray, and on the prin- 
 ciple to withhold nothing which could throw light 
 upon any transaction worthy of notice, or upon 
 the character of Marlborough himself; whilst he 
 has aimed at offering — especially to military men — 
 as much instruction as possible in the management 
 of large and difficult affairs, from the example of so 
 great a master. He has also prefixed an intro- 
 ductory view of the state of Europe on the opening 
 of the War of Succession, and has at fitting oppor- 
 tunities given an account of the progress of affairs 
 in Italy and the Peninsula." — Spectator. 
 
 " This collection of Letters is rich in material, 
 and will be found a valuable acquisition to the 
 military history of our country. It can hardly 
 be necessary to remark, that in the exercise of a 
 sound discretion in the accomplishment of his 
 task, Sir George Murray has rendered full justice 
 to his subject, and confened no slight obligation 
 upon the Army (to whom with so much propriety 
 the work is dedicated), and upon the public at 
 large." — Naval and Military Gazette. 
 
 " None of the biographers of the Duke had 
 access to these volumes, which it is clear must 
 have been set apart from the other manuscripts of 
 Blenheim by some capricious fancy of the Duchess, 
 and so withheld from discovery till now. They 
 could not have had a better editor than Sir George 
 Murray; rarely could they have found one so good. 
 His clear arrangement and occasional historical 
 elucidations, are of the greatest help and service to 
 the reader. Military men should read these volumes 
 with peculiar interest — Marlborough's mind is in 
 them." — Examiner . 
 
 HAWKSTONE, 
 
 % Eale of antf Ux ^ncjlatrtr in X\)t f^ar 184 — 
 
 " There is a vast deal of clever writing in 
 ' Hawkstone.' The opening is particularly good 
 and agreeable, and throughout the book there is 
 lively portraiture and a free and flowing style." — 
 Examiner. 
 
 " The author of ' Hawkstone ' is obviously a 
 scholar and a gentleman, and is a keen observer 
 and vivid describer of such life as has passed 
 before him, with a touch of causticity in his 
 temperament that is subdued by good nature, 
 unless he has to handle the actors in religious or 
 political party. In disquisitional passages he always 
 
 exhibits keenness of thought and often profundity. 
 A close, finished, and powerful composition attends 
 him throughout." — Spectator. 
 
 " • Hawkstone ' is said to contain a picture 
 of ' distracted and degraded England' within the 
 last five years. The scenes and situations are 
 drawn throughout with a picturesque force, of no 
 common or every- day occurrence, and the dia- 
 logues are good, the humour excellent, and the 
 satire to the point— caustic, it is true, but well 
 merited, and with more of sorrow than of anger in 
 its composition." — Historical Register,

 THE DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE 
 
 OF 
 
 THE RIGHT HONOURABLE RICHARD HILL, 
 
 ENVOY TO THE COURT OF SAVOY, IN THE REIGN OF QUEEN ANNE; 
 
 By Rev. WILLIAM BLACKLEY, B.A. 
 
 " Mr. Hill's Correspondence, though not set 
 forth with any such view, is a supplement to the 
 1 Marleorough Despatches,' and a needful 
 explanation of them on some material pointa." — 
 Examiner. 
 
 " The Letters, &c, in these volumes illustrate 
 and receive illustration from the work to which 
 we just called attention ('The Marlborough 
 Despatches.'} The five volumes, in fact, might 
 
 have been published as one work, and both are 
 eminently acceptable for their elucidation of his- 
 tory. A thousand particulars of the Ten Years 
 of Glory which brightened Anne's reign, will be 
 found in these sterling publications, of a kind of 
 which wc should much like to see many more, to 
 redeem our deteriorated literature." — Literary 
 Gazette.

 and as substitutes for the 'shapeless sculpture' 
 and ' uncouth rhymes,' now to be found in Pro- 
 
 testant burial-grounds. Mr. Snow's taste is refined

 THE PRACTICAL GEOLOGY AND ANCIENT 
 ARCHITECTURE OF IRELAND. 
 
 By GEORGE WILKINSON, Esq., Architect. 
 
 "The value of scientific knowledge, when applied to 
 practical purposes, is strikingly shown in this curious 
 and useful volume. Mr. Wilkinson, impressed with 
 the importance of geological science to the architect, 
 has investigated the strata of Ireland, with a view 
 to ascertain the cpualities of the different rocks and 
 earths, with reference to their uses as building ma- 
 terials. The most valuable part of the work is a 
 detailed account of the quality, distribution, use 
 
 and cost of the various materials for building 
 found in every county in Ireland." — Spectator. 
 
 " The author has evinced in the present work a 
 degree of scientific taste and discernment, which 
 must have eminently qualified him to take ad- 
 vantage of the opportunities he possessed; and 
 the work is one which must be perused with profit 
 by every architect and engineer." — Freeman's 
 Journal.

 ESSAYS ON THE CONDUCT OF LIFE. 
 
 By GEORGE LONG, Esq. 
 
 " The views are sound, rational, and indicate a 
 juste milieu feeling, neither too lax or too rigid. 
 The style is plain ; and the subjects, coming home 
 to men's business and bosoms, impart interest to 
 the book." — Spectator, 
 
 " Mr. Long has, with much experience and ob- 
 servation, discussed many important subjects con- 
 
 nected with social, public and religious life." — 
 Literary Gazette. 
 
 " The great merit of these Essays is the earnest- 
 ness of manner which characterises them. The 
 plan is comprehensive, embracing every relation in 
 life— the precepts excellent, and the morality of 
 the loftiest and purest kind." — Atlas.

 SKETCHES OF PERSIAN LIFE AND MANNERS. 
 
 By Sir JOHN MALCOLM. 
 
 " Sir John Malcolm is a perfect master in the deli- 
 neation of character. "With a few bold strokes he 
 gives life and expression to his personages, and with 
 the utmost ease and apparent faithfulness portrays 
 both individual and national characteristics. The 
 language, the literature, the customs, the manners, 
 the superstitions of Persia are familiar to him. 
 These superior qualifications, along with the deli- 
 cious scraps of poetry and prose, fable and philo- 
 sophy, which are scattered through the work, serve 
 
 to make the Sketches of Persia one of the most in- 
 structive and delightful books in the language." — 
 Atlas. 
 
 " No one can read ' Sketches of Persia' (by Sir 
 John Malcolm), without feeling that the author has 
 made a valuable addition to our stock of knowledge. 
 New and important views of the Persians as a nation 
 are here presented with all the interest, without the 
 tendency to caricature, of our amusing friend Hajji 
 Baba."— Quarterly Review.
