DU VERNOIS.

Notice. The German publishers of this work desire to make it known that the author protests against an edition of Part I. which is on sale in England, and which is both an inaccurate and unauthorised translation.

** General BEAUCHAMP WALKER says of this work :-"I recommend the first von Verdys two numbers of Colonel 'Studies' to the attentive perusal of my They supply a want brother officers. which I have often felt during my service in this country, namely, a minuter tactical detail of the minor operations of the 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.

"The very useful and interesting work.

Every Volunteer, officer or private, will be the better for perusing and digesting the plain-spoken truths which Captain Page so firmly, and yet so modestly, puts before them; and we trust that the little book in which they are contained will find its way into all parts of Great Britain."-Volunteer Service Gazette.

SONGS OF TWO WORLDS. By a NEW WRITER. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 5s.

"The New Writer' is certainly no tyro. No one after reading the first two poems, almost perfect in rhythm and all the graceful reserve of true lyrical strength, can doubt that this book is the result of lengthened thought and assiduous training in poetical form. These poems will assuredly take high rank among the class to which they belong." British Quarterly Review, April 1st.

'No extracts could do justice to the exquisite tones, the felicitous phrasing and delicately wrought harmonies of some of these poems."-Nonconformist, March 27th.

"Are we in this book making the acquaintance of a fine and original poet, or of a most artistic imitator? And our that the former deliberate opinion is It has a hypothesis is the right one purity and delicacy of feeling like morning air."-Graphic, March 16th.

"If these poems are the mere preludes of a mind growing in power and in inclination for verse, we have in them the The verse promise of a fine poet. describing Socrates has the highest note of critical poetry."-Spectator, Feb. 17th.

LEGENDS OF ST. PATRICK, & OTHER POEMS. By AUBREY DE VERE. Crown 8vo, 5s.

"We have marked, in almost every page, excellent touches from which we know not how to select. We have but space to commend the varied structure of his verse, the carefulness of his grammar, and his excellent English. All who believe that poetry should raise and not debase the social ideal, all who think that wit should exalt our standard of thought and manners, must welcome this contribution at once to our knowledge of the past and to the science of noble life.Saturday Review.

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 Execution of Felice Orsini,' has much poetic merit, the event celebrated being told with dramatic force."-Athenæum.

"The verse is fluent and free.". Spectator.
