ATHENÆUM, _Nov._ 21, 1863.--"Dr. Doran has contrived a couple of volumes which, while they satisfy the information-seeking few, will be received as a treasury of amusing anecdote by the lovers of gossip. The stage of any country, whether it flourishes or not, is sure to produce a crop of good stories, and no one can tell good stories better than Dr. Doran."

DAILY NEWS, _Dec._ 29, 1863.--"An elaborate history of the drama in all its aspects.... When once taken up it must be read through. Every page of the work is barbed with wit, and will make its way point foremost.... These volumes provide entertainment for the most diverse tastes."

SATURDAY REVIEW, _Dec._ 26, 1863.--"As a collection of anecdotes and brief biographies, Dr. Doran's book leaves little or nothing to desire."

MORNING POST, _Jan._ 16, 1864.--"Dr. Doran's book contains a copious review of all subjects connected with dramatic literature, with the lives of players, and with the business of the stage, during the whole period of the rise and growth of theatrical representations in England. The style of the volumes is clever and amusing in a high degree; and the diversified stories of information which they condense entitle them to a perusal by every lover of the drama, and especially by every aspirant to the honours of the sock and buskin."

GERMAN LIFE AND MANNERS,

AS SEEN IN SAXONY AT THE PRESENT DAY:

With an Account of Village Life--Town Life--Fashionable Life--Married Life--School and University Life, &c., of Germany at the Present Time.

Illustrated with Songs and Pictures of the Student Customs at the University of Jena.

BY HENRY MAYHEW,

Author of "London Labour and London Poor," "Great World of London," &c.

Two Volumes, 8vo, 32s.

ATHENÆUM, _December_ 5_th_, 1863.--"This is a work, which in its outspoken and perhaps sometimes boisterous frankness, will shock many admirers of Goethe and Schiller, and of the land they lived in; but which, nevertheless, in despite of the honest, downright blows which Mr. Mayhew distributes so freely with his English cudgel on the members of almost every German class and profession, and on almost every German custom and institution, is full of original thought and observation, and may be studied with profit by both German and English--especially by the German."

BELL'S MESSENGER, _January_ 23_rd_, 1864.--"Mr. Mayhew's very amusing volumes well deserve careful perusal. The Luther exploration is deeply interesting."

MORNING POST, _December_ 31_st_, 1863.--"Mr. Mayhew has made up two very interesting volumes."

ILLUSTRATED TIMES, _January_ 16_th_, 1864.--"Mr. Mayhew has produced the most entertaining and (to a careful reader) instructive book we have seen for a long time--a book that will be greedily gone through and long remembered by everybody that takes it up."

ILLUSTRATED NEWS, _January_ 2_nd_, 1864.--"To say that Mr. Henry Mayhew has written two exceedingly entertaining volumes will appear, to those who know anything of his writings, equivalent only to saying that he has written two volumes. He has now left English for German life; so far, at least, as Saxony offers a specimen of it, and his descriptions are characterised by the same graphic, uncompromising, and, one is bound to say, moreover, studded, as usual, by gems of wit, humour and anecdote, and illustrated by comparisons or contrasts, drawn from that vast stock of experiences with which his acquaintance with an extensive range of society has supplied him."

GLASGOW MORNING JOURNAL, _April_ 18, 1864.--"Mr. Mayhew's work is excessively interesting, and in many passages excessively amusing, there can be no manner of of doubt, while we have every reason to believe that the picture it presents of German life and manners is in the main strictly and literally true."

LONDON REVIEW, _Jan._ 16_th_, 1864.--"We do not know where to look for a better view of the student life of a German university than Mr. Mayhew gives us _àpropos_ of that of Jena."

* * * * *

SPECTATOR, _Nov._ 21, 1863.--"The 'Social Life' is altogether an admirable photographic picture, sharp and clear, and true in every line of light and shade."

READER, _Nov._ 14, 1863.--"It will command the attention of every thinking German. Mr. Wilberforce's interesting volume embraces nearly the whole range of Munich life, political, social, and artistic. 'Social Life in Munich' is entirely free from the scandalous anecdotes by which town travels are so often disfigured. Written throughout in a pleasing lively strain, it is evidently the work of a keen observer, who benefits the Germans whilst he amuses his own countrymen."

GUARDIAN, _Dec._ 2, 1863.--"Mr. Wilberforce has written a clever and characteristic account of this famous city of art."

SATURDAY REVIEW, _Dec._ 26, 1863.--"A very able volume. Mr. Wilberforce is a very pleasant and agreeable writer, whose opinion is worth hearing on the subject of modern art, which enters largely into the matter of his discourse."

EDINBURGH COURANT, _Nov._ 14, 1863.--"We welcome this agreeable and instructive book."

SIR EVERARD'S DAUGHTER.

A NEW NOVEL.

BY JOHN CORDY JEAFFRESON,

Author of "Live it Down," &c.

Second Edition, post 8vo, 10s. 6d.

ATHENÆUM, _July_ 11, 1863.--"It is, perhaps, the most remarkable work of fiction that Mr. Jeaffreson has written."

BELL'S MESSENGER, _July_ 18, 1863.--"Compared with many of Mr. Jeaffreson's larger literary productions, this tale is but a sketch; yet as such it shows the hand of a master, and proves that had he been at the pains to have elaborated his subject upon a broader canvas, it would have been not only one of the most successful specimens he has ever prepared, but one of the most remarkable, for a long time past, given to the public by any other modern novelist."

THE IONIAN ISLANDS

In the Year 1863.

BY PROFESSOR D. T. ANSTED, M.A., F.R.S.

8vo, cloth, with Maps and Cuts, 16s.

SATURDAY REVIEW, _Dec._ 5, 1863.--"What Mr. Ansted saw in the Ionian Islands he saw well, and under good auspices, and has noted down carefully."

NONCONFORMIST, _Dec._ 18, 1863.--"Professor Ansted's volume furnishes interesting information on all points on which information might fairly be looked for in such a work. His narrative is throughout light and agreeable reading."

ATHENÆUM, _Dec._ 21, 1863.--"Through these Islands Professor Ansted has accomplished a pleasant run, the incidents of which are as pleasantly narrated. What Professor Ansted effected in his volume on the Channel Islands for that insular group in our own seas, he has accomplished as successfully for these Isles of Greece in the work which we now make over to its assured public."

THE PRESS, _Jan._ 22, 1864.--"Highly interesting on account of the great variety of information it contains, and not less highly commendable for the impartiality with which the various data for judging of the expediency of the transfer of the Islands to the kingdom of Greece are placed before the reader."

TRAVELS IN MEXICO,

SOUTH AMERICA, &c., &c.

BY G. T. VIGNE, ESQ.,

Author of "A Personal Visit to Ghuzni and Affghanistan," and "Travels in Kashmir, Ladak," &c.

With Illustrations, 2 vols. post 8vo, 21s.

OBSERVER, _Nov._ 15, 1863.--"The author seems to have travelled over a great part of South America, and to have visited all the principal towns and places worth seeing, and his observations, which are made with cleverness and intelligence, are characterized by remarkable freshness of feeling, an unaffected style, and a conscientious truthfulness."

SPECTATOR, _Nov._ 28, 1863.--"While in Nicaragua the Filibusters were attracting the attention of Europe, and his (Mr. Vigne's) sketch of the fortunes of General Walker up to his execution forms an episode of considerable interest. The special charm in Mr. Vigne's work is the keenness of his observations as a naturalist in the country in which, above all others, nature seems to have revelled in strange and fantastic creations. Without attempting set descriptions of external scenery or natural phenomena, he manages, by the fidelity and freshness of style, to convey to the mind of the reader the pervading atmosphere of the scene and circumstances with rare felicity."

READER, _Jan._ 16, 1864.--"We can recommend this work as a pleasantly written narrative of travel in a most interesting and little known region."

ATHENÆUM, _June_ 27, 1863.--"The story of such a life as M. Victor Hugo, told by a witness, can hardly fail to be a tale which will make Europe sit still to listen."

PRESS, _July_ 25, 1863.--"These volumes contain a wonderful wealth of anecdote, and we predict that they will be read with great avidity."

LONDON REVIEW, _July_ 25, 1863.--"We have said enough, we hope, to show our readers that the present volumes will repay perusal. From beginning to end we have found them full of lively and interesting gossip, with numerous passages which have also an historical value."

STANDARD, _Sept._ 29, 1863.--"This is altogether a very charming little book; its contents are so various that no reader can fail to be pleased, and the style--light, graceful, and piquant--is the perfection of chatty biography."

NONCONFORMIST, _Sept._ 2, 1863.--"A work which is sure to attract much attention."

EDINBURGH COURANT, _Sept._ 19, 1863.--"The anecdotes--the pictures--the sketches of continental men and women--all of which follow each other naturally in the story of the career of a famous Frenchman, make this life as instructive as it is amusing to British readers."
