"MR. BOWLES is one of the oldest of our living poets; how little hazard he runs of seeing the laurels pass from his own brows to those of his junior competitors in the tuneful art, the present volume affords a convincing illustration."-New Monthly Magazine.

"MR. BOWLES is now, we believe, the oldest of our living poets, and certainly there is not one amongst them all who has better reason to look back upon his works, and say that there is not a line he could wish to blot. The equability, gentleness, and moral power of his writings have long been acknowledged, and although he may not find many imitators, for imitators are usually caught by the varieties, and not the innate virtues of verse, he will, we may confidently assert, find but few rivals in the path he has so long pursued with universal honour.”—Atlas.

"This is one of the sweetest and best little publications in the English Language."-Lit. Gaz.

"Were we to quote all that is 'beautiful in this little work,' we should extract the whole."-Fraser.

"A little book of moral and religious verses, such as a child may easily learn by rote. They are worthy to be learned by heart."-Times.

"Mr. Bowles has conferred a valuable gift upon all children who can read, in these unpretending, simple, and beautiful lines."-Atlas.

"Siuce the time of Dr. Watts nothing has been published, at once so simple and so intellectual, so agreeable and so useful.”—Spirit of the Age.

THE ANCIENT MISSIONARY OF CHILI;
А РОЕМ,

FOUNDED ON THE HISTORY, AND DESCRIPTIVE OF THE SCENES OF SOUTH AMERICA. Fifth Edition, Foolscap 8vo., 6s. With a beautiful Vignette by W. F. WITHERINGTON, A.R.A.

"It is an epic flight to the New World, which manifests considerable genius; little that is stale and hackneyed appears in the narrative; the whole is full of incident; the poetry is nervous, varied, and flowing."— Monthly Review.

"As a poet, the Author of The Missionary,' may compete with the foremost of his cotemporaries. Let it be recollected, that all my previous opinions of MR. BOWLES' poetry were written long before the publication of his last and best poem; and that a poet's last poem should be his best, is the highest praise."-Byron's Memoirs, vol. 5.

MRS. SIGOURNEY'S POETRY.

(THE AMERICAN HEMANS.)

In cloth, price 6s. morocco, 9s.

POCAHONTAS; AND OTHER POEMS.

Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, an Indian chief. When the first English settlers in America were in danger of perishing from want of food, she (a child of ten years old), accompanied by her companions, supplied the garrison with baskets of corn at intervals of two or three days. Subsequently, when one of the settlers was about to be killed, by order of her father, she laid her head upon that of the victim, and could not be induced to quit her position. The chief was moved by her entreaties and saved the captive's life. Pocahontas afterwards married a Mr. Rolfe, one of the settlers, came with him to England-was presented at the court of James I., and died here at the age of twenty-two, while preparing to return to her native country, and was buried at Gravesend. Mrs. Sigour ney has produced a very pleasing Poem from these materials.

Also, price 6s. in cloth; morocco, 9s.

POEMS, RELIGIOUS AND ELEGIAC.

It is impossible, within the confined space of an advertisement, to convey an adequate description of the various Poems contained in this volume, and when we say that the subjects are full of interest-the thoughts original and pointed, and that the whole work breathes a spirit of fervent piety, we fail in doing justice to the Author.
