THE RAILWAY LIBRARY.

(From the Times, Morning Chronicle, &c., &c.)

"C Among the most surprising instances of the immense revolution which has taken place of late years in popular literature, are the cheap publications of Messrs. Routledge and Co., of Farringdon Street. For several years they have now been issuing the Railway Library,' and have shown an energy and enterprise in many fields of literature almost unparalleled in this country. We believe the great success which they have met with has arisen from the universally-popular character of the works they have issued. Their books are never above and never below the standard of public taste.

66 Running our eye down the list of works which have already appeared, we are surprised most agreeably to find the names of the most distinguished of our living, or recently deceased, authors, and these, too, most represented here by their best works:-Fenimore Cooper's world-renowned Indian romances and sea tales-Jane Austen's truthful tracings of English country life-Carleton's thrilling Irish stories. Miss Sedgwick and Miss M'Intosh give us their sketches of American manners. Gleig, Grant, and Capt. Curling offer their military adventures for our amusement; and Nathaniel Hawthorne produces his wonderful romances, which once opened seize upon the attention with a grasp not to be unloosed or shaken off. Then come the historical pictures of the incomparable and inexhaustible Dumas, W. Harrison Ainsworth, G. P. R. James, the author of 'Whitefriars,' 'Whitehall,' and " Cæsar Borgia.' Other well-known names also enrich the

list we have before us. Nor does it lack the names of old favourites, Miss Porter's best-liked romances, and Godwin's finest tales. With the incomparable Bulwer (who, as the author of 'Pelham,' 'The Caxtons,' and 'My Novel,' is assigned the highest place among modern writers of fiction) are appearing some of the fine sketches of modern fashionable life with which Mrs. Gore has hitherto only delighted the more wealthy and privileged of English readers. Mrs. Grey's home pictures-Marryatt's sea tales-Hannay's best work, "Electra' and 'Rockingham,' by a highly-gifted mind, are here included, with many others. Looking over this list of books, which some score or two of shillings will place upon

any person's bookshelves, we cannot but wish the Railway Library a continuation of the immense sale which has hitherto attended it."
