A ROYAL REQUIEM.

SHED the fast-falling tear o'er the tomb of the brave,Mourn, mourn for the offspring of Kings!

The sword of the valiant is sheath'd in the grave,

The son of the mighty lies low as the slave,

And the warm heart of honour is cold as the wave,

And still as the ice-fetter'd springs.

Earth's splendours and pomps, like the bright skies of June,

Too often are dimm'd by a cloud;

Like the mild seeming halo, at Night's brilliant noon,

That, diadem-like, gems the orb of the Moon,

They oft' but betoken the storm that will soon
That orb and it's brilliancy shroud.

Then pour the Lament o'er the tomb of the brave,
Let us mourn for the offspring of Kings;

For sheath'd is the sword that was bared for the right,
Death-cold is the heart that beat warmly and light,
And the Spirit has fled to a mansion more bright,
And shaken Earth's stains from it's wings.

HENRY WASHBOURNE, SALISBURY-SQUARE (near St. Bride's church) FLEET-STREET. THE HERALDRY OF CRESTS, a new edition, greatly enlarged and improved, dedicated to Sir Walter Scott, Bart., containing nearly 4000 CRESTS, comprising those of every Peer and Baronet of Great Britain, and of nearly every distinguished family, (from engravings by the late J. P. ELVEN, &c.) with a correct List of the Nobility, with their family names, and copious Indexes of all the Bearers, with references to their crests. The whole accompanied by a Dictionary of Terms, and Remarks Historical and Explanatory.

"It represents,' he said, "the chosen crest of our family, a bear, as ye observe, and rampant; because a good herald will depict every animal in its noblest posture, as a horse saliant, a greyhound courant."" WAVERLEY.

EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS, &c.

"This useful compendium appears to be truly deserving of the liberal support it has received for upwards of half a century."—Gentleman's Magazine.

"We class these books together (i. e. Clark and Elven) because they present united a body of popular information on the subject of heraldry. The first has been long before the public, and the surest test of its merits is, that the volume has reached its eleventh edition.--The second puts forth pretensions of an hambler but not less useful or interesting kind. It may be esteemed as a complete manual of domestic heraldry. The majority of English families, including even the countless tribes of the Johnsons, Thompsons. and Smiths, will find their chivalric emblems, and armorial distinctions, accurately engraved in the volume." Atlas.

"Clark's Introduction to Heraldry was reviewed recently in the Imperial Magazine, and an opinion expressed, that its moderate size, and judicious arrangement, recommend it to the student's notice. This and Elven's Heraldry of Crests do not supersede each other; Clark's Introduction being intended to convey a general scheme of the science, while the Heraldry of Crests affords a more perfect elucidation of the most interesting branch of the art."

Imperial Magazine.

"This design is admirably accomplished; the work contains many valuable improvements in the present edition; it is illustrated by upwards of a thousand select examples, neatly engraved, and is, altogether, the best manual of the science of any which has fallen under our notice."-Literary Review.

"The utility, or at least the popularity, of this work is evident from its having passed through eleven editions"-New Monthly Magazine.

"Mr. Clark conducts his work with great regularity, and exposes with more simplicity than the generality of authors."-Imperial Magazine.

"CLARK'S Introduction is a cheap and well-illustrated little work, got up with singular fidelity to the facts and useful bearings of the subject, and well deserves a continuance of the favourable reception it has experienced during the last fifty years. It is a very clever and compendious exposition of the art, and of so easy attainment that it is surprising those who have the education of youth do not make it a feature of the instruction to be inculcated in schools." Taunton Courier.

"Onze éditions de cet ouvrage se sont rapidement succédées, et la vogue qu'obtient la dernière, publiée cette année par l'éditeur, Henry Washbourne, en garantit encore une série non moins nombreuse. L'exactitude avec laquelle il est rédigé le fait apprécier de plus en plus de la noblesse."--Le Furet de Lond. "We are gratified in announcing the appearance of a new edition, the eleventh considerably enlarged and improved, of this very clever and useful little work." La Belle Assemblée.

"Clark's Introduction is well adapted to its object. They who wish to learn the principles of Heraldry cannot do better than buy it."-Spectator.

"The student in the science of Heraldry will find a valuable acquisition in Clark's Introduction, which is extremely clear and distinct, and forms a most complete manual of rank and nobility. As such we can strongly recommend it to our readers."—Gloucester Journal.

"The volume will now be found particularly useful to painters, engravers, coachmakers, &c.; and as it combines instruction with amusement, may also be recommended for the perusal of young persons, and for the use of schools." Kentish Chronicle.
