Critical Notices.

His living and truthful picture of events.-Quarterly Review (London), Jan., 1861.

Fertile as the present age has been in historical works of the highest merit, none of them can be ranked above these volumes in the grand qualities of interest, accuracy, and truth.-Edinburgh Quarterly Review, Jan., 1861.

This noble work.-Westminster Review (London).

One of the most fascinating as well as important histories of the century.-Cor. N. Y. Evening Post.

The careful study of these volumes will infallibly afford a feast both rich and rare.-Baltimore Republican.

Already takes a rank among standard works of history.-London Critic.

Mr. Motley's prose epic.-London Spectator.

Its pages are pregnant with instruction.-London Literary Gazette.

We may profit by almost every page of his narrative. All the topics which agitate us now are more or less vividly presented in the History of the United Netherlands. New York Times.

Bears on every page marks of the same vigorous mind that produced "The Rise of the Dutch Republic;" but the new work is riper, mellower, and though equally racy of the soil, softer flavored. The inspiring idea which breathes through Mr. Motley's histories and colors the whole texture of his narrative, is the grandeur of that memorable struggle in the 16th century by which the human mind broke the thraldom of religious intolerance and achieved its independence.-The World, N. Y. The name of Motley now stands in the very front rank of living historians. His Dutch Republic took the world by surprise; but the favorable verdict then given is now only the more deliberately confirmed on the publication of the continued story under the title of the History of the United Netherlands. All the nerve, and power, and substance of juicy life are there, lending a charm to every page.— Church Journal, N. Y.

Motley, indeed, has produced a prose epic, and his fighting scenes are as real, pirited, and life-like as the combats in the Iliad.-The Press (Phila.).

His history is as interesting as a romance, and as reliable as a proposition of Eulid. Clio never had a more faithful disciple. We advise every reader whose means will permit to become the owner of these fascinating volumes, assuring him that he will never regret the investment.-Christian Intelligencer, N. Y.
