    THE MODERN ORLANDO. IN SEVEN CANTOS. Price 65. “ The Modern Orlando is by turns striking-, picturesque, pathetic* witty, and grand, and displays in all the true soul of genius—originality. Every one will acknowledge here the rising of a new star, destined to move with brilliancy in an orbit of its own.”—Britannia. POETICAL WORKS OF HORACE SMITH, ONE OF THE AUTHORS OF “ REJECTED ADDRESSES.” Now First CoUected, in 2 vols. small 8vo, with Portrait, 12s. hound. THE HON. MRS. NORTON’S POETICAL WORKS. SECOND EDITION, WITH ADDITIONS, s 7 7 In One vol., with fine Portrait of the Authoress, after a Drawing by E. Landseer, R.A., price 10s. 6d. bound. “ This lady is the Byron of our modern poetesses.”—Quarterly Review. THE NEW TIM ON: A POETICAL ROMANCE. Fourth edition, 1 vol. post 8vo, 65. bound. “ One of the most remarkable poems of the present generation—re- markable in a threefold degree—its conception being strictly original— its language and imagery new—its tendeucy eminently moral. It has beauties of no ordinary lustre ; the animus of the work is essentially humanising, its plot ingenious, and its effect altogether bold, harmo- nious, and original. No poem of equal length has issued from the English press for a number of years, with any thing approaching to the ability of ‘The New Timon,’—it augurs a resuscitation of our Bardic glories.”—Sun. “ The New Timon will bear comparison with any one of the poetic tales of Byron ; and we say advisedly, justice will not be done to this noble work of genius, if lasting fame be not granted to its author. Yes; ‘ The New Timon’ will become a standard study beside Byron. The author has many of the first requisites of his art. His mind is elevated and pure ; his diction terse, vigorous, and mellifluous ; there is thought, ideality, in his lines; and, in addition, a quality which in these days will be a great recommendation, his narrative is full of interest. There is much, too, of satire, keen, caustic, and severe—witness that on O’Connell. In a word, we think ‘ The New Timon’ a production which will have a wide and lasting reputation.”—Hood's Magazine. /
