LATELY PUBLISHED — BY THE SAME AUTHOR, In two volumes, octavo,
THE RURAL LIFE OF ENGLAND,
BEAUTIFULLY EMBELLISHED WITH
ENGRAVINGS IN WOOD, BY WILLIAMS.
Admirable, — and to English readers indispensable volumes ; — not merely a charming, but an ennobling work — Atlas.
It is no mean praise to say that but one man in Great Britain could have treated the subject more amply and eloquently than Mr. Howitt: need we say that man is — or was — Professor Wilson. Metropolitan Conservative Journal.
It must, as it deserves to do, become very popular. — Literary Gaz.
One of the most beautiful, vigorous, fresh, and English-spirited of Mr. Howitt's productions. It is a work for all classes, rich and poor. It is written with good sense and good feeling. — Court Journal.
We know not in what part of the works of Washington Irving, or even of the ever-praised Charles Lamb, to look for pictures like these. They are just such as Goldsmith would have described, had he written of such places and their associations, in prose. — United Service Gaz.
Thrice beautiful, — beautiful in its subjects, beautiful in its literary execution, and beautiful in the getting up. The embellishments must excite general admiration. — St. James’s Chronicle.
The work contains many pleasant papers and sketches of scenery, of mountain and moorland, dingle and bushy dell, and bosky bourne, that are equal to Copley Fielding, and only inferior to Nature herself. English farmers too, farm-servants, life in the dales of Lancashire and Yorkshire, scenes of wild and lonely cottage life in the Highlands, and the country pleasures and pursuits of our mechanics, are all drawn and descanted on with singular happiness ; in fact, every paper is good where Mr. Howitt describes what he has seen and felt. — Athenæum,
