CRITIQUES ON THIS WORK.

"This work has more merit than can be ascribed to the crowd of productions of this class, and inculcates virtuous and nagn nimos sentiments. It is nscribed to Sir S dney Smith, in wel aged address." Monthly Review, Feb. 1804.

"Mis Forter is availed herself of a very interesting period in history for me foundation of her tale. Often have we felt our heart rent by indignation and pity, at the dismemberment of Poland and the cruel fate of Stanislaus. Truth and fiction are blended with much propriety in these Volumes; and we have turned with sincere pleasure the pages that praise the valour of Kosciuszko; and recount, though but as a novel, the adventures of Sobieski."

Critical Review, Sept. 1803.

"Thaddeus sa work of genius, and has nothing to fear at the candid b of taste; he has to receive the precious meca of sympathy fro.n eve. y reader of unsophisticated sentiment and genuine feeling." Imperial Review, Feb. 1804.

OF

WARSAW.

IN FOUR VOLUMES.

Loin d'aimer la guerre, il l'abhorre;
En triomphant même il déplore
Les desastres qu'elle produit:

Et couronné par la victoire,

Il gémit de sa propre gloire,
Si la paix n'en est pas le fruit.
