The Traveller's Library being now complete, the Publishers call attention to this collection as well adapted for Travellers and Emigrants, for School-room Libraries, the Libraries of Mechanics' Institutions, Young Men's Libraries, the Libraries of Ships, and similar purposes. The separate volumes are suited for School Prizes, Presents to Young People, and for general instruction and entertainment. The Series comprises fourteen of the most popular of Lord Macaulay's Essays, and his Speeches on Parliamentary Reform. The department of Travels contains some account of eight of the principal countries of Europe, as well as travels in four districts of Africa, in four of America, and in three of Asia. Madame Pfeiffer's First Journey round the World is included; and a general account of the Australian Colonies. In Biography and History will be found Lord Macaulay's Biographical Sketches of Warren Hastings, Clive, Pitt, Walpole, Bacon, and others; besides Memoirs of Wellington, Turenne, F. Arago, &c.; an Essay on the Life and Genius of Thomas Fuller, with Selections from his Writings, by Mr. Henry Rogers; and a history of the Leipsic Campaign, by Mr. Gleig, which is the only separate account of this remarkable campaign. Works of Fiction did not come within the plan of the TRAVELLER'S LIBRARY; but the Confessions of a Working Man, by Souvestre, which is indeed a fiction founded on fact, has been included, and has been read with unusual interest by many of the working classes, for whose use it is especially recommended. Dumas's story of the Maitre-d'Armes, though in form a work of fiction, gives a striking picture of an episode in the history of Russia. Amongst the works on Science and Natural Philosophy, a general view of Creation is embodied in Dr. Kemp's Natural History of Creation; and in his Indications of Instinct remarkable facts in natural history are collected. Dr. Wilson has contributed a popular account of the Electric Telegraph. In the volumes on the CoalFields, and on the Tin and other Mining Districts of Cornwall, is given an account of the mineral wealth of England, the habits and manners of the miners, and the scenery of the surrounding country. It only remains to add, that among the Miscellaneous Works are a Selection of the best Writings of the Rev. Sydney Smith; Lord Carlisle's Lectures and Addresses; an account of Mormonism, by the Rev. W. J. Conybeare; an exposition of Railway management and mismanagement, by Mr. Herbert Spencer; an account of the Origin and Practice of Printing, by Mr. Stark; and an account of London, by Mr. M'Culloch.
