THE ROMANCE OF JEWISH HISTORY.

By the Misses Moss.

DEDICATED, BY PERMISSION, TO SIR E. L. BULWER.

"This work gives us a most curious insight into Jewish modes of thought, feeling, and action; they have reference, of course, to their better days, made glorious by virtue, patriotism, and self-devotion, and are based for the most part on historical truths, which, however, are in no instance warped or over embellished. We confidently recommend these Romances, which fill and illustrate a department of history that has hitherto been altogether overlooked."-Court Journal.

"This work is characterised by the most gorgeous imagery and the most elevated sentiments. It contains tales of wonderful excitement, which strongly remind the reader, if not in matter, certainly in manner, of Sir Walter Scott."-Metropolitan.

MR. LODGE'S PEERAGE OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

WITH A SUCCINCT ACCOUNT OF THE BARONETAGE.

THE TENTH EDITION, FOR 1841.

Revised and Corrected throughout from the Personal Communications of the Nobility.

This work will be found an important acquisition to all gentlemen and heads of families, and particularly to the learned professions. It answers more readily and satisfactorily than any work previously published, the various questions which continually arise respecting the connexions and relationships of the higher classes. Every page being kept standing in Type, and constantly revised by each of the Noble Families, an authenticity and correctness are thus attained, which may justly be considered unexampled in so large a mass of Family History, embracing the entire Aristocracy of the British empire, with their various connexions and Collateral Branches. Every Edition is corrected throughout to the date of publication.
