GOETHE'S CAMPAIGN IN FRANCE IN THE YEAR 1792. Translated from the German of Goethe. By ROBERT FARIE, Barristerat-Law. Small 8vo, cloth. 6s.

"Goethe was early distinguished for his poetical genius and literary performances; and was introduced, when still a very young man, to the Duke of Weimar, who invited him to his Court in the year 1775. Here he was soon made a member of the Council, and afterwards filled various offices in the government of the State. On the invasion of France in the year 1792, by the allied army, under the command of the King of Prussia and the Duke of Brunswick, he accompanied his Prince, who held a command in the army, into that country, and he here records the observations and reflections which he made during the campaign."-Translator's Preface.

LEONE (THE ABBATE.) THE JESUIT CONSPIRACY. The Secret Plan of the Order, detected and revealed by the ABBATE LEONE, with a Preface by M. VICTOR CONSIDERANT, Member of the National Assembly of France, and of the Municipal Council of the Seine. Translated, with the author's sanction, from the authentic French Edition. Post 8vo,

cloth. 10s. 6d.

"Leone gives, with exact details, the narrative of his own life at the periods which have reference to the events of which he speaks. It is incontestable that he entered the Monastery of Chieri with an extremely ardent, fixed, and profound determination; that he desired nothing so much as to become a Jesuit, and that all at once, without any ascertained motive, he was seen, to the great amazement of everybody, flying from that monastery into which he had so eagerly desired admittance two months before, and where he had met with nothing but kindness, favour, and all sorts of winning treatment. It is certain, then, that he received some terrible shock in the monastery. The facts relating to all the circumstances which form in the narrative the envelope, as it were, to the Secret Conference, are of public notoriety in Leone's native land, and he narrates them publicly, mentioning names, places, dates, facts, and persons, and for my part I doubt not that the publication now made by Leone is the true and sincere explanation of that mysterious point."-Editor's Preface.

LEWES (G. H.)-THE LIFE OF MAXIMILIEN ROBESPIERRE, with
Extracts from his Unpublished Correspondence. By the Author of
"Biographical History of Philosophy," &c. Post 8vo, cloth. 9s.
"There has hitherto been no biography of Robespierre. Notices in Biographical
Dictionaries and in Histories of the French Revolution, are the only records of a
career which has left so deep an impression upon men's minds. It seemed, therefore,
desirable, on many accounts, that the materials for a more complete understanding
of this remarkable man, scattered through numerous and not easily accessible
volumes, should be brought together, and so selected as to present a view of the
separate phases of the character of this extraordinary man, and thus furnishing the
data upon which a judgment of him may be formed. Everything known about him
is here collected; all his opinions are stated, and the pith and substance of almost
all his published speeches translated."-Preface.
