"Carefully selected and elegantly got up.... Mr. Davenport Adams has exer

cised great taste in the selections which he has made, and has laid under contribution all the best English authors. It is particularly rich in poems from living writers; but other favourites, whose writings have stood the test of time, are by no means overlooked."-John Bull.

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

tator.

"We were hardly prepared for the touches of genuine beauty which adorn so many of these little poems."-Spectator.

As a writer of Vers de Société Mr. Dobson is almost, if not quite, unrivalled." --Examiner.

"Lively, innocent, elegant in expression, and graceful in fancy."-Morning Post.

ON VIOL AND FLUTE. A New Volume of Poems, by Edmund W. Gosse. With a Frontispiece by W. B. Scott. Crown 8vo. Price 5s.

"A careful perusal of his verses will show that he is a poet. . . . His song has the grateful, murmuring sound which reminds one of the softness and deliciousness of summer time. . . . There is much that is good in the volume.”—Spectator.

METRICAL TRANSLATIONS FROM

THE GREEK AND LATIN POETS,
AND OTHER POEMS. By R. B.
Boswell, M.A. Oxon. Crown 8vo, price 5s.

EASTERN LEGENDS AND STORIES IN ENGLISH VERSE. By Lieutenant Norton Powlett, Royal Artillery. Crown 8vo. 55.

"Have we at length found a successor to Thomas Ingoldsby? We are almost inclined to hope so after reading 'Eastern Legends.' There is a rollicking sense of fun about the stories, joined to marvellous power of rhyming, and plenty of swing, which irresistibly reminds us of our old favourite."-Graphic.

EDITH, OR, LOVE AND LIFE IN CHEShire. By T. Ashe, Author of the "Sorrows of Hypsipyle," etc. Sewed. Price 6d.

"A really fine poem, full of tender, subtle touches of feeling."-Manchester News.

"Pregnant from beginning to end with the results of careful observation and imaginative power."-Chester Chronicle.

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.

55.

"Abounding in quiet humour, in bright fancy, in sweetness and melody of expression, and, at times, in the tenderest touches of pathos."-Graphic.

'Mr. Collins has an undercurrent of chivalry and romance beneath the trifling vein of good-humoured banter which is the special characteristic of his verse.' Athenæum.

Story of the Sea. By Katherine Saunders, Author of "Gideon's Rock," &c. In 1 vol. Cloth, crown 8vo. "Simply yet powerfully told. opening picture is so exquisitely drawn as to be a fit introduction to a story of such simple pathos and power.... A very beautiful story closes as it began, in a tender and touching picture of homely happiness." -Pall Mall Gazette.

"The story is told in fine and wellpolished phrases."-Daily News.

"A successful contrast to the mass of fictitious rubbish it is our duty to peruse." -Athenæum.

"Clever and worth reading... His heroes and heroines think, speak, and act like English gentlemen and ladies."-Echo.

The writer is a man of remarkable and unique power."-Hour.

A novel in so many ways good, as in a fresh and elastic diction, stout unconventionality, and happy boldness of conception and execution. His novels, though free spoken, will be some of the healthiest of our day."-Examiner.

TWO GIRLS. By Frederick Wedmore, Author of "A Snapt Gold Ring." In 2 vols. Cloth, crown 8vo. [Just out.

"A carefully-written novel of character, contrasting the two heroines of one love tale, an English lady and a French actress Cicely is charming; the introductory description of her is a good specimen of the well-balanced sketches in which the author shines."-Athenæum.

HEATHERGATE. In 2 vols. Crown 8vo, cloth. A Story of Scottish Life and Character by a new Author.

"Its merit lies in the marked antithesis of strongly developed characters, in different ranks of life, and resembling each other in nothing but their marked nationality." "—Athenæum.

"Worth reading for its pictures of Scottish life and character in the early years of this century."-Graphic.

"The plot is woven with touching ingenuity. The descriptions of nature deserve praise for their simple beauty and delicacy of touch.... Many will read and be interested in the book."-Hour.

THE QUEEN'S SHILLING. By Captain Arthur Griffiths, Author of "Peccavi." 2 vols.

[ocr errors]

A very lively and agreeable novel."-Vanity Fair.

"The Queen's Shilling' is a capital story, far more interesting than the meagre sketch we have given of the 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.

MIRANDA. A Midsummer Madness. By Mortimer Collins. 3 vols.

"There is not a dull page in the whole three volumes."-Standard.

"The work of a man who is at once a thinker and a poet."-Hour.
