By LAURENCE HUT

TON. With Copious and Characteristic Illustrations. Crown 8vo, Cloth, Uncut Edges and Gilt

pp. xi., 347. Top, $2 50.

Mr. Hutton has packed a marvellous amount of curious information into his pages. To collectors this volume must be quite indispensable, and there is no lover of the theatre who will not find it entertaining and instructive.-N. Y. Tribune.

Mr. Hutton writes entertainingly and with knowledge of the stage, and his new book is crammed full of facts. . . . No writer on this subject is more painstaking and accurate than Laurence Hutton. His sources of information are as trustworthy as possible. His memory is generally clear and unerring.-N. Y. Times.

Theatrical literature has nothing better and few things as good. . . . Mr. Hutton seems to have an inexhaustible fund of personal reminiscences, and to these he has added all sorts of curious information from other sources.- Cincinnati Times-Star.

One of the most important contributions yet made to the history of our native drama. . . It is not only a history of the American stage, but it suggests the interests and amusements of the American people for the past century, and the advance in literary and dramatic standards. This is a book which will fill a valuable and permanent place as a book of reference, and as a cleverly told and interesting history of the people who have amused the American public. . . . Mr. Hutton is to be congratulated upon the clearness and fulness of his work, which, taken as a whole, is a unique and valuable addition to the literature of this century.-Boston Traveller.

This is by far the best book of its kind; some readers may go further and pronounce it the only book of its kind. Neither historical nor biographical, it is full of interesting chat about stage people-more than five hundred of them.-N. Y. Herald.

Mr. Hutton has brought to bear on his subject both sympathy and appreciation. Moreover, his well-tested knowledge and his wellknown accuracy stamp all his statements with a double value, all of these things giving to his "Curiosities" an importance not to be attained by the average collection, and carrying his volume far beyond the level of his own modest estimate.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

Mr. Hutton has an unerring instinct for discerning what to collect and what to omit from his book. A more delightful treasury of the "Curiosities of the American Stage" it would be difficult to conceive. -Philadelphia Ledger.

Lucid, pungent, paragraphic, every chapter speaks its message. The book is no mere ephemera which we examine casually and then forget; it presents to the eye and photographs upon the mind a distinct and vital picture of the social, political, religious, and literary world of half a century ago.-Critic, N. Y.

An accurate and interesting sketch of manners and men in the begining of the Victorian era.... Mr. Besant's knowledge of the subject is full, and his literary touch as light and skilful.-Christian Union, N. Y.

LONDON LETTERS, and Some Others. By GEORGE W. SMALLEY, London Correspondent of the New York Tribune. Two Volumes. 8vo, Cloth, Uncut Edges and Gilt Tops, $6 oo.

What most enforces itself on the attention in this work is the vast mass of matter in the letters that is of such perennial interest and importance and so worthy of perpetuation in the more permanent form that is here accorded it. The volumes are delightful reading. Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston.

Have an enduring value for the two-fold reason that they discuss public men and events of so high an order of interest that they cannot soon fade from the public eye, and that the literary nature of them is strong and charming.-N. Y. Sun.

LONDON: a Pilgrimage.

Illustrations by GUSTAVE DORÉ. Letter-press by BLANCHARD JERROLD. Folio, Cloth, $5 00.

The work contains explanatory and descriptive text by Blanchard Jerrold.
