Kingsley (C.)—continued.

TWO YEARS AGO. Fifth Edition.

Crown 8vo. 6s.

"Mr. Kingsley has provided us all along with such pleasant diversions -such rich and brightly tinted glimpses of natural history, such suggestive remarks on mankind, society, and all sorts of topics, that amidst the pleasure of the way, the circuit to be made will be by most forgotten."-GUARDIAN.

HYPATIA; or, New Foes with an Old Face. Seventh Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

The work is from beginning to end a series of fascinating pictures of strange phases of that strange primitive society; and no finer portrait has yet been given of the noble-minded lady who was faithful to martyrdom in her attachment to the classical creeds. No work affords a clearer notion of the many interesting problems which agitated the minds of men in those days, and which, in various phases, are again coming up for discussion at the present time.

HEREWARD THE WAKE-LAST OF THE ENGLISH. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

Mr. Kingsley here tells the story of the final conflict of the two races, Saxons and Normans, as if he himself had borne a part in it. While as a work of fiction "Hereward" cannot fail to delight all readers, no better supplement to the dry history of the time could be put into the hands of the young, containing as it does so vivid a picture of the social and political life of the period.

YEAST: A Problem. Sixth Edition.

Crown 8vo. 55.

In this production the author shows, in an interesting dramatic form, the state of fermentation in which the minds of many earnest men are with regard to some of the most important religious and social problems of the day.

ALTON LOCKE. New Edition. With a New Preface. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

This novel, which shows forth the evils arising from modern "caste," has done much to remove the unnatural barriers which existed between the various classes of society, and to establish a sympathy to some extent between the higher and lower grades of the social scale.

Kingsley (C.)-continued.

Though written with a purpose, it is full of character and interest, the author shows, to quote the SPECTATOR, "what it is that con stitutes the true Christian, God-fearing, man-living gentleman.'

THE WATER BABIES. A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby. New Edition, with additional Illustrations by Sir NOEL PATON, R.S.A., and P. SKELTON. Crown 8vo. cloth extra gilt. 5s. "In fun, in humour, and in innocent imagination, as a child's book we do not know its equal."-LONDON REVIEW. Kingsley must have the credit of revealing to us a new order of life. There is in the 'Water Babies' an abundance of wit, fun,

THE HEROES; or, Greek Fairy Tales for my Children. With Coloured Illustrations. New Edition. 18mo. 4s. 6d.

"We do not think these heroic stories have ever been more attractively told. There is a deep under-current of religious feeling traceable throughout its pages which is sure to influence young readers powerfully."-LONDON REVIEW. "One of the children's books that will surely become a classic."-NONCONFORMIST.

PHAETHON; or, Loose Thoughts for Loose Thinkers. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 25.

"The dialogue of Phaethon' has striking beauties, and its suggestions may meet half-way many a latent doubt, and, like a light breeze, lift from the soul clouds that are gathering heavily, and threatening to settle down in misty gloom on the summer of many a fair and promising young life.”—SPECTATOR.

POEMS; including The Saint's Tragedy, Andromeda, Songs, Ballads, etc. Complete Collected Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 6s. Canon Kingsley's poetical works have gained for their author, independently of his other works, a high and enduring place in literature, and are much sought after. The publishers have here collected the whole of them in a moderately-priced and handy volume. The SPECTATOR calls "Andromeda" "the finest piece of English hexameter verse that has ever been written. It is a volume which many readers will be glad to possess."

Kingsley (C.)—continued.

PROSE IDYLLS. NEW AND OLD. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 5s.

CONTENTS :- A Charm of Birds; Chalk; Stream Studies; The
Fens; My Winter-Garden; From Ocean to Sea; North Devon.
Altogether a delightful book.
It exhibits the author's best
traits, and cannot fail to infect the reader with a love of nature
and of out-door life and its enjoyments. It is well calculated to
bring a gleam of summer with its pleasant associations, into the
bleak winter-time; while a better companion for a summer ramble
could hardly be found.”—BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

THE LOST CHILD. With Eight Illustrations by FRÖLICH. Crown 4to. cloth gilt. 3s. 6d.

This is an interesting story of a little boy, the son of an Australian shepherd and his wife, who lost himself in the bush, and who was, after much searching, found dead far up a mountain-side.

OAKSHOTT CASTLE. 3 Vols. Crown 8vo. 31s. 6d.

"No one who takes up Oakshott Castle' will willingly put it down until the last page is turned. It may fairly be considered a capital story, full of go, and abounding in word pictures of storms and wrecks."-OBSERVER.

Knatchbull-Hugessen.-Works by E. H. KNATCHBULLHUGESSEN, M.P. :—

Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen has won for himself a reputation as an inimitable teller of fairy-tales. "His powers," says the TIMES, "are of a very high order; light and brilliant narrative flows from his pen, and is fed by an invention as graceful as it is inexhaustible." "Children reading his stories," the SCOTSMAN says, "or hearing them read, will have their minds refreshed and invigorated as much as their bodies would be by abundance of fresh air and exercise."
