WINTER EVENINGS at COLLEGE; of Mr. Hume.

a Description of the Manners, Customs, Public Institutions, Religion, and Mysteries, &c. of the Ancient Greeks; a shart Account of the State of Modern Greece; and Reflections on the Bevolutions of Empires.

By the Rev. B. T. H. COLE,

Rector of Warbleton, Sussex, formerly Scholar of Trin. Coll. and late Fellow of Magd. Coll. Cambridge. With a Frontispiece. Price 7. 6d. half-bound, 18mo. "We cannot confer a greater obligation on our youthful readers than by warmly recommending this work to their attention. In the most familiar form and unpretending size, these small volumes convey very accurate and useful information upon the various topics of which they treat, and bring forcibly before us the condition and appearance of ancient Greece, drawn from a multitude of classic stores. The Evenings are passed by a col. lege tator and his pupils; but the design is so admirably executed, that we know of no age, from ten years to the largest span, that may not be pleasantly instructed by the author's labours."Literary Gazette, Jan. 1829.

"This is an excellent little work, well adapted to convey useful instruction to the young in a very pleasing and enticing manner. Nor do we confine our measure of applause to the character of this book as a manual for the young; there are many, perhaps, amongst the readers of our grave and solemn lucubrations who might turn away from the bewildering haunts of the theologian and critic to snatch an interlusory revival of early associations from these modest pages, without fearing that they should incur the censure of condescension," &c. &c. &c.-Christian Remem. brancer, May 1829.
