MR. SWINBURNE'S WORKS.

SECOND EDITION NOW READY OF

=Bothwell=: A Tragedy. By ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE. Crown 8vo,
cloth extra, pp. 540, 12_s._ 6_d._

"Mr. Swinburne's most prejudiced critic cannot, we think, deny
that 'Bothwell' is a poem of a very high character. Every line
bears traces of power, individuality, and vivid imagination. The
versification, while characteristically supple and melodious, also
attains, in spite of some affectations, to a sustained strength
and dignity of a remarkable kind. Mr. Swinburne is not only a
master of the music of language, but he has that indescribable
touch which discloses the true poet--the touch that lifts from off
the ground."--_Saturday Review._

"It is not too much to say that, should he never write anything
more, the poet has by this work firmly established his position,
and given us a poem upon which his fame may safely rest. He no
longer indulges in that frequent alliteration, or that oppressive
wealth of imagery and colour, which gave rhythm and splendour to
some of his works, but would have been out of place in a grand
historical poem; we have now a fair opportunity of judging what
the poet can do when deprived of such adventitious aid,--and the
verdict is, that he must henceforth rank amongst the first of
British authors."--_Graphic._

"The whole drama flames and rings with high passions and
great deeds. The imagination is splendid; the style large and
imperial; the insight into character keen; the blank verse
varied, sensitive, flexible, alive. Mr. Swinburne has once more
proved his right to occupy a seat among the lofty singers of our
land."--_Daily News._

"A really grand, statuesque dramatic work.... The reader will
here find Mr. Swinburne at his very best; if manliness, dignity,
and fulness of style are superior to mere pleasant singing and
alliterative lyrics."--_Standard._

"Splendid pictures, subtle analyses of passion, and wonderful
studies of character will repay him who attains the end.... In
this huge volume are many fine and some unsurpassable things.
Subtlest traits of character abound, and descriptive passages of
singular delicacy."--_Athenæum._

"There can be no doubt of the dramatic force of the poem. It
is severely simple in its diction, and never dull; there are
innumerable fine touches on almost every page."--_Scotsman._

"'Bothwell' shows us Mr. Swinburne at a point immeasurably
superior to any that he has yet achieved. It will confirm and
increase the reputation which his daring genius has already won.
He has handled a difficult subject with a mastery of art which is
a true intellectual triumph."--_Hour._

"It is Thackeray's aim to represent life as it is actually and
historically--men and women as they are, in those situations in
which they are usually placed, with that mixture of good and
evil, of strength and foible, which is to be found in their
characters, and liable only to those incidents which are of
ordinary occurrence. He will have no faultless characters, no
demi-gods,--nothing but men and brethren."--DAVID MASSON.

"LES MISÉRABLES." Complete in Three Parts.

=Victor Hugo's Fantine.= Now first published in an English
Translation, complete and unabridged, with the exception of a few
advisable omissions. Post 8vo, illustrated boards, 2_s._

"This work has something more than the beauties of an exquisite
style or the word-compelling power of a literary Zeus to recommend
it to the tender care of a distant posterity: in dealing with all
the emotions, passions, doubts, fears, which go to make up our
common humanity, M. Victor Hugo has stamped upon every page the
Hall-mark of genius and the loving patience and conscientious
labour of a true artist. But the merits of 'Les Misérables' do not
merely consist in the conception of it as a whole; it abounds,
page after page, with details of unequalled beauty."--_Quarterly
Review._

=Waterford Roll (The).=--Illuminated Charter-Roll of Waterford, Temp.
Richard II.

*** _Amongst the Corporation Muniments of the City of Waterford
is preserved an ancient Illuminated Roll, of great interest
and beauty, comprising all the early Charters and Grants to
the City of Waterford, from the time of Henry II. to Richard
II. A full-length Portrait of each King, whose Charter is
given--including Edward III., when young, and again at an advanced
age--adorns the margin. These Portraits, with the exception of
four which are smaller, and on one sheet of vellum, vary from
eight to nine inches in length--some in armour, and some in robes
of state. In addition to these are Portraits of an Archbishop
in full canonicals, of a Chancellor, and of many of the chief
Burgesses of the City of Waterford, as well as singularly curious
Portraits of the Mayors of Dublin, Waterford, Limerick, and
Cork, figured for the most part in the quaint bipartite costume
of the Second Richard's reign, though partaking of many of the
peculiarities of that of Edward III. Altogether this ancient
work of art is unique of its kind in Ireland, and deserves to
be rescued from oblivion, by the publication of the unedited
Charters, and of fac-similes of all the Illuminations. The
production of such a work would throw much light on the question
of the art and social habits of the Anglo-Norman settlers in
Ireland at the close of the fourteenth century. The Charters are,
many of them, highly important from an historic point of view._

_The Illuminations have been accurately traced and coloured for
the work from a copy carefully made, by permission of the Mayor
and Corporation of Waterford, by the late George V. Du Noyer,
Esq., M.R.I.A.; and those Charters which have not already appeared
in print will be edited by the Rev. James Graves, A.B., M.R.I.A.,
Hon. Secretary Kilkenny and South-East of Ireland Archæological
Society._

_The Work will be brought out in the best manner, with embossed
cover and characteristic title-page; and it will be put to press
as soon as 250 subscribers are obtained. The price, in imperial
4to, is 20s. to subscribers, or 30s. to non-subscribers._

6_d._

"A set of caricatures such as we have in Mr. Wright's volume
brings the surface of the age before us with a vividness that no
prose writer, even of the highest power, could emulate. Macaulay's
most brilliant sentence is weak by the side of the little woodcut
from Gillray, which gives us Burke and Fox."--_Saturday Review._

"A more amusing work of its kind was never issued."--_Art Journal._

"It is emphatically one of the liveliest of books, as also one of
the most interesting. It has the twofold merit of being at once
amusing and edifying."--_Morning Post._

Transcriber's Notes

In general, spelling is retained as printed. On occasion, apparent printer's errors, however, are corrected, where the author uses a more standard spelling elsewhere (e.g., 'acknowleges' on p. 283). Where the printer simply missed a word (e.g.,'hand' on p. 151), it is added.

Incidental punctuation, especially of abbreviated words and in captions, which is missing from the printed original, has been silently restored.

In the advertisement section at the end of the text, an asterism (three asterisks arranged in an inverted triangle) are used as a 'bullet'. In this text, these will be retained as "***".
