MESSRS. METHUEN'S ANNOUNCEMENTS

Poetry

~Rudyard Kipling.~ BALLADS. By Rudyard Kipling. _Crown 8vo. Buckram. 6s._

The announcement of a new volume of poetry from Mr. Kipling will excite wide interest. The exceptional success of 'Barrack-Room Ballads,' with which this volume will be uniform, justifies the hope that the new book too will obtain a wide popularity.

~W. E. Henley.~ ENGLISH LYRICS. Selected and Edited by W. E. Henley. _Crown 8vo. Buckram. 6s._

Also 30 copies on hand-made paper. _Demy 8vo. £1, 1s._

Also 15 copies on Japanese paper. _Demy 8vo. £2, 2s._

Few announcements will be more welcome to lovers of English verse than the one that Mr. Henley is bringing together into one book the finest lyrics in our language. Robust and original the book will certainly be, and it will be produced with the same care that made 'Lyra Heroica' delightful to the hand and eye.

~"Q"~ THE GOLDEN POMP: A Procession of English Lyrics from Surrey to Shirley, arranged by A. T. Quiller Couch. _Crown 8vo. Buckram. 6s._

Also 30 copies on hand-made paper. _Demy 8vo. £1, 1s._

Also 15 copies on Japanese paper. _Demy 8vo. £2, 2s._

Mr. Quiller Couch's taste and sympathy mark him out as a born anthologist, and out of the wealth of Elizabethan poetry he has made a book of great attraction.

~H. C. Beeching.~ LYRA SACRA: An Anthology of Sacred Verse. Edited by H. C. Beeching, M.A. _Crown 8vo. Buckram. 6s._

This book will appeal to a wide public. Few languages are richer in serious verse than the English, and the Editor has had some difficulty in confining his material within his limits.

~W. B. Yeats.~ A BOOK OF IRISH VERSE. Edited by W. B. Yeats. _Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._

An anthology of Irish poetry selected by an editor whose own verse has won a considerable reputation.

Fiction

Messrs. Methuen call attention to the fact that the following novels are issued for the first time in one volume instead of in the old two and three volume form.

~Gilbert Parker.~ THE TRAIL OF THE SWORD. By Gilbert Parker, Author of 'Pierre and his People,' etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

A historical romance dealing with the stirring period in the history of Canada in which France and England were contending for its possession.

~Anthony Hope.~ A MAN OF MARK. By Anthony Hope, Author of 'The Prisoner of Zenda,' 'The God in the Car,' etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

This is a re-issue of Anthony Hope's first novel. It has been out of print for some years, and in view of the great popularity of the author, it has been reprinted. It is a story of political adventure in South America, and is rather in the style of 'The Prisoner of Zenda.'

~Mrs. Clifford.~ A FLASH OF SUMMER. By Mrs. W. K. Clifford, Author of 'Aunt Anne,' etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

This is the first long story which Mrs. Clifford has written since the remarkably successful 'Aunt Anne.'

~M. M. Dowie.~ GALLIA. By Mene Muriel Dowie. Author of 'A Girl in the Carpathians.' _Crown 8vo. 6s._

This is a story of modern society by the author of 'A Girl in the Carpathians,' which was probably one of the most popular books of travel ever published.

~Mrs. Oliphant.~ SIR ROBERT'S FORTUNE. By Mrs. Oliphant. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

~Mrs. Pinsent.~ CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD. By Ellen F. Pinsent, Author of 'Jenny's Case.' _Crown 8vo. 6s._

A story of modern life and thought, being a study of two opposite types—the Christian and the Agnostic. Mrs. Pinsent's first book was very successful, and the leading critics spoke of it as a remarkable and powerful story, and as one which made them look forward with keen interest to the author's next book.

~W. E. Norris.~ THE DESPOTIC LADY AND OTHERS. By W. E. Norris, Author of 'The Rogue,' etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

~E. F. Benson.~ LADY MASSINGTON'S RESURRECTION, AND OTHER STORIES. By E. F. Benson, Author of 'Dodo.' _Crown 8vo. 6s._

~Julian Corbett. A~ BUSINESS IN GREAT WATERS. By Julian Corbett, Author of 'For God and Gold,' 'Cophetua XIIIth.,' etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

This is a historical romance of the time of the French Revolution by a writer whose previous stories have been much praised for their 'romantic beauty and profound interest and nervous strength of style.' Many critics noticed their 'wholesome freshness' and 'vivid reproduction of the past.'

~Gilbert Parker.~ AN ADVENTURER OF THE NORTH. By Gilbert Parker, Author of 'Pierre and his People,' 'The Translation of a Savage,' etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

This book consists of more tales of the Far North, and contains the last adventures of 'Pretty Pierre.' Mr. Parker's first volume of Canadian stories was published about two years ago, and was received with unanimous praise.

~Philipps-Woolley.~ THE QUEENSBERRY CUP. A Tale of Adventure. By Clive Philipps Woolley, Author of 'Snap,' Part Author of 'Big Game Shooting,' Illustrated. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

This is a story of amateur pugilism and chivalrous adventure, written by an author whose books on sport are well known.

~Miss Benson.~ SUBJECT TO VANITY. By Margaret Benson. With numerous Illustrations. _Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._

A volume of humorous and sympathetic sketches of animal life and home pets.

NEW EDITIONS

'This is, indeed, a very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible within our limits; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered, but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary method is a keen pleasure; true without cynicism, subtle without affectation, humorous without strain, witty without offence, inevitably sad, with an unmorose simplicity.'—_World._

'Immeasurably better than anything Mr. Hope has done before. A novel eminently worth reading, full of brilliance, fire, and daring.'—_Manchester Guardian._

'Ruston is drawn with extraordinary skill, and Maggie Dennison with many subtle strokes. The minor characters are clear cut. In short the book is a brilliant one. "The God in the Car" is one of the most remarkable works in a year that has given us the handiwork of nearly all our best living novelists.'—_Standard._

~Baring Gould.~ KITTY ALONE. By S. Baring Gould, Author of 'Mehalah,' 'Cheap Jack Zita,' etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._

'If any one wants—and in days when so much fiction is morbid and depressing it is to the credit of human nature to believe that many persons must want—a book brisk, clever, keen, healthy, humorous, and interesting, he can scarcely do better than order "Kitty Alone."'—_National Observer._

~Norris.~ MATTHEW AUSTIN. By W. E. Norris, Author of 'Mdle. de Mersac,' etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._

'It would be a strangely unsympathetic and cynical person who could read the life-story of Matthew Austin, the singularly unselfish and gentle-natured country doctor, without affectionate sympathy.... "Matthew Austin" may safely be pronounced one of the most intellectually satisfactory and morally bracing novels of the current year.'—_Daily Telegraph._

~Mrs. Watson.~ THIS MAN'S DOMINION. By the Author of 'A High Little World.' _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._

'It is not a book to be read and forgotten on a railway journey, but it is rather a study of the perplexing problems of life, to which the reflecting mind will frequently return, even though the reader does not accept the solutions which the author suggests. In these days, when the output of merely amusing novels is so overpowering, this is no slight praise. There is an underlying depth in the story which reminds one, in a lesser degree, of the profundity of George Eliot, and "This Man's Dominion" is by no means a novel to be thrust aside as exhausted at one perusal.'—_Dundee Advertiser._

~Richard Pryce.~ WINIFRED MOUNT. By Richard Pryce. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._

The 'Sussex Daily News' called this book '_a delightful story_,' and said that the writing was '_uniformly bright and graceful_.' The 'Daily Telegraph' said that the author was a '_deft and elegant story-teller_,' and that the book was '_an extremely clever story, utterly untainted by pessimism or vulgarity_.'

History

~Gibbon.~ THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. By Edward Gibbon. A New Edition, edited with Notes and Appendices and Maps by J. B. Bury, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin. _In Seven Volumes. Crown 8vo._

The time seems to have arrived for a new edition of Gibbon's great work—furnished with such notes and appendices as may bring it up to the standard of recent historical research. Edited by a scholar who has made this period his special study, and issued in a convenient form and at a moderate price, this edition should fill an obvious void.

~Horsburgh.~ THE CAMPAIGN OF WATERLOO. By E. L. S. Horsburgh, M.A. With Plans. _Crown 8vo. 5s._

This is a full account of the final struggle of Napoleon, and contains a careful study from a strategical point of view of the movements of the French and allied armies.

~George.~ BATTLES OF ENGLISH HISTORY. By H. B. George, M.A., Fellow of New College, Oxford. _With numerous Plans. Crown 8vo. 6s._

This book, by a well-known authority on military history, will be an important contribution to the literature of the subject. All the great battles of English history are fully described, and connecting chapters carefully treat of the changes wrought by new discoveries and developments.

~Oscar Browning.~ THE AGE OF THE CONDOTTIERI: A Short History of Italy from 1409 to 1530. By Oscar Browning, M.A., Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. _Crown 8vo. 5s._

This book is a continuation of Mr. Browning's 'Guelphs and Ghibellines,' and the two works form a complete account of Italian history from 1250 to 1530.

This is a reprint of some excellent biographies of Elizabethan seamen, written by Southey and never republished. They are practically unknown, and they deserve, and will probably obtain, a wide popularity.

~Cutts.~ AUGUSTINE OF CANTERBURY. By E. L. Cutts, D.D. _Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._

[_Leaders of Religion._

A biography of the first Archbishop of Canterbury, containing a fairly full account of the conversion of England.

~Oliphant.~ THE FRENCH RIVIERA. By Mrs. Oliphant and F. R. Oliphant. With Illustrations and Maps. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

A volume dealing with the French Riviera from Toulon to Mentone. Without falling within the guide-book category, the book will supply some useful practical information, while occupying itself chiefly with descriptive and historical matter. A special feature will be the attention directed to those portions of the Riviera, which, though full of interest and easily accessible from many well-frequented spots, are generally left unvisited by English travellers, such as the Maures Mountains and the St. Tropez district, the country lying between Cannes, Grasse and the Var, and the magnificent valleys behind Nice. There will be several original illustrations.

~Shedlock.~ THE PIANOFORTE SONATA: Its Origin and Development. By J. S. Shedlock. _Crown 8vo. 5s._

This is a practical and not unduly technical account of the Sonata treated historically. It contains several novel features, and an account of various works little known to the English public.

Such a complete book on such a subject, and at such a moderate price, should find a host of readers.

THE CHRISTIAN YEAR. By John Keble. With an Introduction and Notes by W Lock, M.A., Sub-Warden of Keble College, Author of 'The Life of John Keble.' Illustrated by R. Anning Bell. _Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d._

[_Univ. Extension Series._

English Classics

Edited by W. E. Henley.

Messrs. Methuen propose to publish, under this title, a series of the masterpieces of the English tongue, which, while well within the reach of the average buyer, shall be at once an ornament to the shelf of him that owns, and a delight to the eye of him that reads.

The series, of which Mr. William Ernest Henley is the general editor, will confine itself to no single period or department of literature. Poetry, fiction, drama, biography, autobiography, letters, essays—in all these fields is the material of many goodly volumes.

The books, which are designed and printed by Messrs. Constable, will be issued in two editions—(1) A small edition, on the finest Japanese vellum, demy 8vo, 21_s._ a volume nett; (2) The popular edition on laid paper, crown 8vo, buckram, 3_s._ 6_d._ a volume.

The following are some notices which have appeared on 'TRISTRAM SHANDY,' the first volume of the series:—

'Very dainty volumes are these; the paper, type, and light green binding are all very agreeable to the eye. "Simplex munditiis" is the phrase that might be applied to them. So far as we know, Sterne's famous work has never appeared in a guise more attractive to the connoisseur than this.'—_Globe._

'The book is excellently printed by Messrs. Constable on good paper, and being divided into two volumes, is light and handy without lacking the dignity of a classic.'—_Manchester Guardian._

'This new edition of a great classic might make an honourable appearance in any library in the world. Printed by Constable on laid paper, bound in most artistic and restful-looking fig-green buckram, with a frontispiece portrait and an introduction by Mr. Charles Whibley, the book might well be issued at three times its present price.'—_Irish Independent._

'Cheap and comely; a very agreeable edition.'—_Saturday Review._

Poetry

~Rudyard Kipling.~ BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS; And Other Verses. By Rudyard Kipling. _Seventh Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._

A Special Presentation Edition, bound in white buckram, with extra gilt ornament. _7s. 6d._

'Mr. Kipling's verse is strong, vivid, full of character.... Unmistakable genius rings in every line.'—_Times._

'The disreputable lingo of Cockayne is henceforth justified before the world; for a man of genius has taken it in hand, and has shown, beyond all cavilling, that in its way it also is a medium for literature. You are grateful, and you say to yourself, half in envy and half in admiration: "Here is a _book_; here, or one is a Dutchman, is one of the books of the year."'—_National Observer._

'"Barrack-Room Ballads" contains some of the best work that Mr. Kipling has ever done, which is saying a good deal. "Fuzzy-Wuzzy," "Gunga Din," and "Tommy," are, in our opinion, altogether superior to anything of the kind that English literature has hitherto produced.'—_Athenæum._

'These ballads are as wonderful in their descriptive power as they are vigorous in their dramatic force. There are few ballads in the English language more stirring than "The Ballad of East and West," worthy to stand by the Border ballads of Scott.'—_Spectator._

'The ballads teem with imagination, they palpitate with emotion. We read them with laughter and tears; the metres throb in our pulses, the cunningly ordered words tingle with life; and if this be not poetry, what is?'—_Pall Mall Gazette._

~Henley.~ LYRA HEROICA: An Anthology selected from the best English Verse of the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries. By William Ernest Henley, Author of 'A Book of Verse,' 'Views and Reviews,' etc. _Crown 8vo. Stamped gilt buckram, gilt top, edges uncut. 6s._

~Jane Barlow.~ THE BATTLE OF THE FROGS AND MICE, translated by Jane Barlow, Author of 'Irish Idylls,' and pictured by F. D. Bedford. _Small 4to. 6s. net._

This is a new version of a famous old fable. Miss Barlow, whose brilliant volume of 'Irish Idylls' has gained her a wide reputation, has told the story in spirited flowing verse, and Mr. Bedford's numerous illustrations and ornaments are as spirited as the verse they picture.

~Tomson.~ A SUMMER NIGHT, AND OTHER POEMS. By Graham R. Tomson. With Frontispiece by A. Tomson. _Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d._

An edition on hand-made paper, limited to 50 copies. _10s. 6d. net._

~Ibsen.~ BRAND. A Drama by Henrik Ibsen. Translated by William Wilson. _Crown 8vo. Second Edition. 3s. 6d._

'The greatest world-poem of the nineteenth century next to "Faust." "Brand" will have an astonishing interest for Englishmen. It is in the same set with "Agamemnon," with "Lear," with the literature that we now instinctively regard as high and holy.'—_Daily Chronicle._

~"Q."~ GREEN BAYS: Verses and Parodies. By "Q.," Author of 'Dead Man's Rock,' etc. _Second Edition. Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d._

A small edition on hand-made paper. _Price 12s. 6d. net._

~Gale.~ CRICKET SONGS. By Norman Gale. _Crown 8vo. Linen. 2s. 6d._

Also a limited edition on hand-made paper. _Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d. net._

'They are wrung out of the excitement of the moment, and palpitate with the spirit of the game.'—_Star._

'As healthy as they are spirited, and ought to have a great success.'—_Times._

'Simple, manly, and humorous. Every cricketer should buy the book.'—_Westminster Gazette._

'Cricket has never known such a singer.'—_Cricket._

~Langbridge.~ BALLADS OF THE BRAVE: Poems of Chivalry, Enterprise, Courage, and Constancy, from the Earliest Times to the Present Day. Edited, with Notes, by Rev. F. Langbridge. _Crown 8vo. Buckram 3s. 6d._ School Edition, _2s. 6d._
