humour, and high-toned morality.”—_Notes and Queries._

irresistibly reminds us of our old favourite.”—_Graphic._

=THE GALLERY OF PIGEONS, AND OTHER POEMS.= By =Theo. Marzials=. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

“A conceit abounding in prettiness.”—_Examiner._

“Contains as clear evidence as a book can contain that its
composition was a source of keen and legitimate enjoyment. The
rush of fresh, sparkling fancies is too rapid, too sustained,
too abundant, not to be spontaneous.”—_Academy._

=THE INN OF STRANGE MEETINGS, AND OTHER POEMS.= By =Mortimer Collins=. Crown 8vo. 5s.

“Abounding in quiet humour, in bright fancy, in sweetness and
melody of expression, and, at times, in the tenderest touches

beneath the trifling vein of good-humoured banter which is the
special characteristic of his verse.”—_Athenæum._

of the human heart in the story he tells with such pathos and

paraded, of the brightest, purest character.”—_Standard._

“Genuine power displayed.”—_Examiner._

“ ... Poetical feeling is manifest here, and the diction of the
poem is unimpeachable.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

“He has successfully attempted what has seldom before been
well done, viz., the treatment of subjects not in themselves
poetical from a poetic point of view.”—_Graphic._

“Intensity of feeling, a rugged pathos, robustness of tone, and
a downrightness of expression which does not shrink from even
slang if it seem best fitted for his purpose.”—_Illustrated
London News._

to meet with such a ballad as ‘May Margaret’ in the present
volume.”—_Westminster Review._

=ASPROMONTE, AND OTHER POEMS.= Second Edition, cloth. 4s. 6d.

“The volume is anonymous, but there is no reason for the
author to be ashamed of it. The ‘Poems of Italy’ are evidently
inspired by genuine enthusiasm in the cause espoused; and
one of them, ‘The Execution of Felice Orsini,’ has much
poetic merit, the event celebrated being told with dramatic
force.”—_Athenæum._

“The verse is fluent and free.”—_Spectator._

=A NEW VOLUME OF SONNETS.= By the =Rev. C. Tennyson Turner=. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

“Mr. Turner is a genuine poet; his song is sweet and pure,
beautiful in expression, and often subtle in thought.”—_Pall
Mall Gazette._

“The dominant charm of all these sonnets is the pervading
presence of the writer’s personality, never obtruded but always
impalpably diffused. The light of a devout, gentle, and kindly
spirit, a delicate and graceful fancy, a keen intelligence
irradiates these thoughts.”—_Contemporary Review._

=GOETHE’S FAUST.= A New Translation in Rime. By the =Rev. C. Kegan Paul=. Crown 8vo. 6s.

“His translation is the most minutely accurate that has yet
been produced....”—_Examiner._

“Mr. Paul evidently understands ‘Faust,’ and his translation is
as well suited to convey its meaning to English readers as any
we have yet seen.”—_Edinburgh Daily Review._

“Mr. Paul is a zealous and a faithful interpreter.”—_Saturday
Review._

=THE DREAM AND THE DEED, AND OTHER POEMS.= By =Patrick Scott=, Author of “Footpaths between Two Worlds,” etc. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 5s.

“Shows real poetic power coupled with evidences of satirical
energy.”—_Edinburgh Daily Review._

which they belong.”—_British Quarterly Review, April 1st._

“If these poems are the mere preludes of a mind growing in
power and in inclination for verse, we have in them the promise
of a fine poet.”—_Spectator, February 17th._

“No extracts could do justice to the exquisite tones, the
felicitous phrasing and delicately wrought harmonies of some of
these poems.”—_Nonconformist, March 27th._

“It has a purity and delicacy of feeling like morning
air.”—_Graphic, March 16th._

=THE LEGENDS OF ST. PATRICK AND OTHER POEMS.= By =Aubrey de Vere=. Crown 8vo. 5s.

“Mr. De Vere’s versification in his earlier poems is
characterised by great sweetness and simplicity. He is master
of his instrument, and rarely offends the ear with false notes.
Poems such as these scarcely admit of quotation, for their
charm is not, and ought not to be, found in isolated passages;
but we can promise the patient and thoughtful reader much
pleasure in the perusal of this volume.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

“We have marked, in almost every page, excellent touches from
which we know not how to select. We have but space to commend
the varied structure of his verse, the carefulness of his
grammar, and his excellent English.”—_Saturday Review._

“ ... A very lively and agreeable novel.”—_Vanity Fair._

“‘The Queen’s Shilling’ is a capital story, far more

fortunes of the hero and heroine can suggest. Every scene,
character, and incident of the book are so life-like that they
seem drawn from life direct.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

characteristic....”—_Athenæum._

Gazette._

“A bright, fresh, and original book.”—_Standard._

=WHAT ’TIS TO LOVE.= By the Author of “Flora Adair,” “The Value of Fosterstown.” 3 vols.

=REGINALD BRAMBLE=, A Cynic of the 19th Century. An Autobiography. One Volume.

chronicler, and the preservation of his natural character, is
beyond praise.”—_Morning Post._

talk like human beings, and we have liked reading about
them.”—_Spectator._

appreciative reception.”—_Athenæum._

Hawthorne.”—_Saturday Review._

time.”—_Morning Post._

it.”—_Daily News._

=OFF THE SKELLIGS.= By =Jean Ingelow=. (Her First Romance.) Crown 8vo. In 4 vols.

“Clever and sparkling.”—_Standard._

“We read each succeeding volume with increasing interest, going
almost to the point of wishing there was a fifth.”—_Athenæum._

“The novel as a whole is a remarkable one, because it is
uncompromisingly true to life.”—_Daily News._

=SEETA.= By =Colonel Meadows Taylor=, Author of “Tara,” “Ralph Darnell,” &c. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

“The story is well told, native life is admirably
described, and the petty intrigues of native rulers, and
their hatred of the English, mingled with fear lest the
latter should eventually prove the victors, are cleverly
depicted.”—_Athenæum._

“We cannot speak too highly of Colonel Meadows Taylor’s
book.... We would recommend all novel-readers to purchase it at
the earliest opportunity.”—_John Bull._

“Thoroughly interesting and enjoyable reading.”—_Examiner._

=HESTER MORLEY’S PROMISE.= By =Hesba Stretton=. 3 vols.

“‘Hester Morley’s Promise’ is much better than the average
novel of the day; it has much more claim to critical
consideration as a piece of literary work,—not mere
mechanism. The pictures of a narrow society—narrow of
soul and intellect—in which the book abounds, are very
clever.”—_Spectator._

“Its charm lies not so much, perhaps, in any special
excellence in character, drawing, or construction—though all
the characters stand out clearly and are well sustained, and
the interest of the story never flags—as in general tone and
colouring.”—_Observer._

=THE DOCTOR’S DILEMMA.= By =Hesba Stretton=, Author of “Little Meg,” &c., &c. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

“A very readable and interesting book.”—_United Service
Gazette_, June 28, 1873.

“Some interesting letters are introduced, amongst others,
several from the late King William IV.”—_Spectator._

“Well and pleasantly told. There are also some capital
descriptions of English country life in the last century,
presenting a vivid picture of England before the introduction
of railways, and the busy life accompanying them.”—_Evening
Standard._

=JOHANNES OLAF.= By =E. de Wille=. Translated by =F. E. Bunnett=. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

“The art of description is fully exhibited; perception of
character and capacity for delineating it are obvious; while
there is great breadth and comprehensiveness in the plan of the
story.”—_Morning Post._

=THE SPINSTERS OF BLATCHINGTON.= By =Mar. Travers=. 2 vols. Crown 8vo.

“A pretty story. Deserving of a favourable
reception.”—_Graphic._

without its purpose, but all contribute to the unity of the
work.”—_Athenæum._

itself.”—_Daily News._

can tell a story closely and pleasantly.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

=LINKED AT LAST.= By =F. E. Bunnett=. 1 vol. Crown 8vo.

natural incident, and delicate portraiture, that the reader who
once takes it up will not be inclined to relinquish it without
concluding the volume.”—_Morning Post._

“A very charming story.”—_John Bull._

=PERPLEXITY.= By =Sydney Mostyn=. 3 vols. Crown 8vo.

“Shows much lucidity—much power of portraiture.”—_Examiner._

“Written with very considerable power, great cleverness, and
sustained interest.”—_Standard._

“The literary workmanship is good, and the story forcibly and
graphically told.”—_Daily News._

=MEMOIRS OF MRS. LÆTITIA BOOTHBY.= By =William Clark Russell=, Author of “The Book of Authors.” Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.

definite and high purpose.”—_Spectator._

“A most exquisitely written story.”—_Literary Churchman._

“The characters of the story are capitally conceived,
and are full of those touches which give them a natural
appearance.”—_Public Opinion._

“There is a quaintness and simplicity in the roguery of the
hero that makes his life as attractive as that of Guzman
d’Alfarache or Gil Blas, and so we advise our readers not to

resolutely through. If they do this they cannot, we think, fail
to be both amused and interested.”—_Times._

young will take to it for its love portions, the older
for its descriptions, some in this day for its Arab
philosophy.”—_Athenæum._

“There is a positive fragrance as of newly-mown hay about it,
as compared with the artificially perfumed passions which are
detailed to us with such gusto by our ordinary novel-writers in
their endless volumes.”—_Observer._

“Mr. Drew has invented a new method of illustrating Scripture
history—from observation of the countries. Instead of narrating
his travels, and referring from time to time to the facts
of sacred history belonging to the different countries, he
writes an outline history of the Hebrew nation from Abraham
downwards, with special reference to the various points in
which the geography illustrates the history.... He is very
successful in picturing to his readers the scenes before his
own mind.”—_Saturday Review._
