De Redcliffe (Viscount Stratford), P.C.,K.G.,G.C.B. WHY AM I A CHRISTIAN? Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo. 35.

Under impressions derived from a painful sense of danger he has reviewed his own grounds of faith and has committed them to writing.

"Has a peculiar interest, as exhibiting the convictions of an earnest, intelligent, and practical man."-Contemporary Review.

De Vere (Aubrey).

ALEXANDER THE GREAT. A Dramatic Poem. Small crown 8vo. 5s.

"Undeniably well written."-Examiner.

"In some points Mr. De Vere's poetry is a model to most of his fellow singers. Its idioms and phraseology are English, thorough and correct English; his verses, with few exceptions, are symmetrical, simple, and sweet; and his diction throughout is dignified, as becomes the stately muse of tragedy, and often rises to sublime pitch, leaving all his contemporaries far behind."-Standard. "A noble play. . The work of a true poet, and of a fine artist, in whom there is nothing vulgar and nothing weak. We had no conception, from our knowledge of Mr. De Vere's former poems, that so much poetic power lay in him as this drama shows. It is terse as well as full of beauty, nervous as well as rich in thought."-Spectator.

THE LEGENDS OF ST. PATRICK, and other Poems. Small crown 8vo.

ENGLISH SONNETS. Collected and Arranged. Fcap. 8vo. Elegantly bound. 3s. 6d.

This Collection of Sonnets, arranged chronologically from the Elizabethan to the Victorian era, is designed for the students of poetry, and not only for the reader who takes up a volume of verse in order to pass away an idle hour. The Sonnet contains, to use the words of Marlowe, "infinite riches in a little room."

"Mr. Dennis has shown great judgment in this selection."—Saturday Review.

"An exquisite selection, a selection which every lover of poetry will consult again and again with delight. The notes are very useful. The volume is one for which English literature owes Mr. Dennis the heartiest thanks."— Spectator.

SHAKSPERE: a Critical Study of his Mind and Art. Post 8vo.

125.

The chief design of this work is to discover the man-Shakspere -through his works, and to ascertain his course of mental and moral development as far as this is possible. This thread running through the work will make it a continuous study, written for such intelligent readers of Shakspere as are not specialists in Shakspere scholarship, and intended to be an introduction to the study of Shakspere, popular in the sense of being attractive to all intelligent lovers of literature, but founded upon the most recent and accurate Shakspere scholarship, English, German, and American.

Drew (Rev. G. S.), M. A., Vicar of Trinity, Lambeth.

SCRIPTURE LANDS IN CONNECTION WITH

THEIR HISTORY. Second Edition. 8vo. IOS. 6d.

"Mr. Drew has invented a new method of illustrating Scripture historyfrom 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.

NAZARETH: ITS LIFE AND LESSONS. Second
Crown 8vo.

Edition.

5s.

The simple purpose of this book is to remove with fitting care and reverence that veil of reserve which has been so widely drawn over so many portions of the life of Christ, so that as nearly as possible we too may see our Lord as He was actually seen by those who 'companied with Him" in the early days of His mortality.

"We have read the volume with great interest. It is at once succinct and suggestive, reverent and ingenious, observant of small details, and yet not forgetful of great principles."-British Quarterly Review.

A very reverent attempt to elicit and develop Scripture intimations respecting our Lord's thirty years' sojourn at Nazareth. The author has wrought well at the unworked mine, and has produced a very valuable series of Scripture lessons, which will be found both profitable and singularly interesting."— Guardian.

This is one of Messrs. Henry S. King and Co.'s Series of Military Works.

* General BEAUCHAMP WALKER says of this work:-"I recommend the first two numbers of Colonel von Verdy's Studies' to the attentive perusal of my brother officers. They supply a want which I have often felt during my service in this country, namely, a minuter tactical detail of the minor operations of war than any but the most observant and fortunately-placed staff-officer is in a position to give. I have read and re-read them very carefully, I hope with profit, certainly with great interest, and believe that practice, in the sense of these Studies,' would be a valuable preparation for manœuvres on a more extended scale."-Berlin, June, 1872.

By the help, however, of the illustrations, and by dips here and there, we can safely give a favourable account."-Westminster Review. "Elsie Dinsmore is a familiar name to a world of young readers. In the above three pretty volumes her story is complete, and it is one full of youthful experiences, winning a general interest."-Athenæum.

Favre (Mons. Jules).

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE NATIONAL DEFENCE. From the 30th June to the 31st October, 1870. The Plain Statement of a Member. I vol. Demy 8vo. IOS. 6d.

Every unprejudiced reader will recognize in this work the language of an honourable man, more anxious for the triumph of truth than for his own justification, scrupulously desirous to make known the smallest details which may serve to throw any light on events worthy to be remembered, and to give to all those men who took part therein the honour due to them.

"A work of the highest interest. The book is most valuable."-Athenæum. "Of all the contributions to the history of the late war, we have found none more fascinating and, perhaps, none more valuable than the 'apology,' by M Jules Favre, for the unsuccessful Government of the National Defence."-Times
