" This is a work of very uncommon merit indeed. Instead of a mere compilation, as such publications generally are, we have here a production of original, and often very masterly talent, combining with the value and convenience of a book of reference in regard to facts, much if the more intense interest and attraction which belong to a vehicle of discussion and speculation, by minds with whom uu one, however highly cultivated, need be ashamed to hold commu. nion. The whole is conceived in a spirit of moderation and good sense, exactly such as we like to see sustaining the equanimity of historic narrative. We do not know any work entitled to compete with that before us, as a useful and intelligent compendium of biography."-Edinbargh Star.

"This original Life of Franklin, which is afforded 'as a medium between the diffuse and expensive Memoirs of Franklin, and the brief though delightful sketch written by himself,' seems to be judiciously executed ; and for the industrious classes, that is, for the great mass of mankind, the Life of Franklin is the most valuable piece of biography ever penned."Scotsman.
" The book before us iF..written throughout with great elegance and spirit. The biographer is just suet a arm as Franklin deserves to possess."-Sue. "An excellent little work, which we have great pleasure in recommending to our readers."-Oriental Her aid.
