The distinguished biographer of the author, in noticing this work, observes: "Happily for science, he commenced that study which forms the basis of his admirable Treatise on _Political Economy_; a work which not only improved under his hand with every successive edition, but has been translated into most of the European languages."
The Editor of the North American Review, speaking of Say, observes, that "he is the most popular, and perhaps the most able writer on Political Economy, since the time of Smith."
LAURENCE STERNE'S WORKS,
WITH A LIFE OF THE AUTHOR:
WRITTEN BY HIMSELF.
WITH SEVEN BEAUTIFUL ILl.u.s.tRATIONS, ENGRAVED BY GILBERT AND GIHON, FROM DESIGNS BY DARLEY.
One volume, octavo; cloth, gilt.
To commend or to criticise Sterne's Works, in this age of the world, would be all "wasteful and extravagant excess." Uncle Toby--Corporal Trim--the Widow--Le Fevre--Poor Maria--the Captive--even the Dead a.s.s,--this is all we have to say of Sterne; and in the memory of these characters, histories, and sketches, a thousand follies and worse than follies are forgotten. The volume is a very handsome one.

"'_Money-Bags and t.i.tles_' is quite a remarkable work, amounts to a kindly exposure of the folly of human pride, and also presents at once the evil and the remedy. If good-natured ridicule of the impostures practised by a set of self-styled reformers, who have nothing to lose, and to whom change must be gain--if, in short, a delineation of the mistaken ideas which prevent, and the means which conduce to happiness, be traits deserving of commendation,--the reader will find much to enlist his attention and win his approbation in the pages of this unpretending, but truly meritorious publication."
