MARTIN TOUTROND;

ADVENTURES OF A FRENCHMAN IN LONDON.
BY JAMES MORIER,
Author of "Hajji Baba."

NIGHTS AT SEA;

OR, ADVENTURES DURING THE LATE WAR.

BY THE OLD SAILOR.

TO BE FOLLOWED BY OTHER POPULAR WORKS.

LITERARY GAZETTE.

"Full of genuine humour and entertainment."

THE EXAMINER.

"This Series of Works has a merit of its own. Much amusement without a grain of offence, and illustrations which carry the eye pleasantly over the page. We have laughed exceedingly at the Illustrations of the 'COMIC GRAMMAR,'-a capital piece of humorous literature, thoughtful as well as mirthful."

THE ATHENÆUM.

"This Series is intended to cater for the reader who would make a Railway journey his relaxation. The volumes are neatly printed, and of a size convenient for the pocket."

WEEKLY DISPATCH..

"The 'COMIC GRAMMAR' is profusely, appropriately, and humorously illustrated; and the literary part blends wit, fun, and instruction most admirably together. Thus constituting a Work unrivalled of its kind.

"NOTES ON NOSES' is really a superior work, and contains the germs of thought and impressions as valuable, as pregnant with ennobling elements, and discussed with a certain grave humour, as they are profound in themselves.

"TURF CHARACTERS' is a very clever and entertaining work."

WANDERER IN SYRIA.

BY

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS,

Author of "Nile Notes."

"I am a part of all that I have met,

Yet all Experience is an arch where thro'

Gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades
For ever and for ever, when I move,"-TENNYSON,

Gottes ist der Occident,

Nord-und südliches Gelände

Ruht im Frieden seiner Hände."-GOETHE.
