NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.

LIFE AND CAMPAIGNS OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE : Giving an account of all his engagements, from the siege of Toulon to the battle of Waterloo; also embracing accounts of the daring exploits of his Marshals; together with his public and private life, from the commencement of his career to his final imprisonment and death on the rock of St. Helena. Translated from the French of M. A. Arnault and C. L. F. Pauckoucke. New edition, in one volume, illustrated.

This is unquestionably the most authentic, impartial, and complete life of this great General now before the American public. The translator says in his preface: In ushering these memoirs of the life of Napoleon Bonaparte into the world, we have not confined ourselves to the splendid work of M. A. Arnault; but, in order to furnish a faithful narrative, public, political, and private, have availed ourselves of every species of information afforded by different authorities, from the commencement of the career of the departed hero, to the closing scene of his last hours at St. Helena.

BURNS' POETICAL WORKS.

THE POETICAL WORKS OF ROBERT BURNS, INCLUDING SEVERAL PIECES NOT INSERTED IN DR. CURRIE'S EDITION; EXHIBITED UNDER A NEW PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT, AND PRECEDED BY A LIFE OF THE AUTHOR, AND COMPLETE GLOSSARY.

In comparing this edition with others, it will be found to possess several advantages. It contains, besides a number of other pieces not inserted in Dr. Currie's edition, The Jolly Beggars, a cantata replete with humorous description and discrimination of character; as also his celebrated Holy Willie's Prayer, a piece of satire unequalled for exquisite severity and felicitous delineation.

In the editions hitherto published, no regard is paid to method or classification. In this, the poems are

disposed according to their respective subjects, and divided into books.

This edition is all comprised in one very neat 12mo. volume, with a beautiful portrait, and may be had in the various elegant and plain styles of binding

described above.

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS.

THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS FROM THIS WORLD TO THAT

WHICH IS TO COME DELIVERED UNDER THE SIMILI

TUDE OF A DREAM,- -BY JOHN BUNYAN. ALSO, CONTAINING ORIGINAL NOTES, and a Life oF THE AUTHOR, BY THE REV. THOMAS SCOTT, CHAPLAIN TO THE LOCK HOSPITAL.

Bunyan says of this work, that when formed into a book, and shown to his friends,

"Some said, John, print it; others said, Not so;

Some said, It might do good; others said, No."

The public will not hesitate in determining which opinion was the result of the deeper penetration; but will wonder that a long apology for such a publication should have been deemed necessary, when it is stated, that perhaps this work has had a more universal and lasting sale than any other in the English language, save that of the Bible.

The work is complete in 1 vol. 12mo., embellished with fine engravings, and is done up in plain and rich bindings, suited to the tastes and means of all classes.
