"Beyond question supreme among modern books for children."SPECTATOR. "One of the choicest and most charming books ever composed for a child's reading."-PALL MALL GAZETTE.

THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, AND WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE. With Fifty Illustrations by TENNIEL. Crown 8vo. gilt. 6s. 32nd Thousand.

In the present volume is described, with inimitably clever and laughter-moving nonsense, the further Adventures of the fairyfavoured Alice, in the grotesque world which she found to exist on the other side of her mother's drawing-room looking-glass, through which she managed to make her way. The work is profusely embellished with illustrations by Tenniel, exhibiting as great an amount of humour as those to which "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" owed so much of its popularity.

"A most exquisitely got up volume. Legend, carol, and text are preciously enshrined in its emblazoned pages, and the illuminated borders are far and away the best example of their art we have seen this Christmas. The pictures and borders are harmonious in their colouring, the dyes are brilliant without being raw, and the volume is a trophy of colour-printing. The binding by Burn is in the very best taste."-TIMES.

Clough (Arthur Hugh).-THE POEMS AND PROSE
REMAINS OF ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH.
Selection from his Letters and a Memoir. Edited by his Wife.
With Portrait. Two Vols. Crown 8vo. 2IS.

The late Professor Clough is well known as a graceful, tender
poet, and as the scholarly translator of Plutarch. The letters
possess high interest, not biographical only, but literary-discuss-
ing, as they do, the most important questions of the time, always
in a genial spirit. The "Remains" include papers on "Retrench-
ment at Oxford;" on Professor F. W. Newman's book, "The
Soul;" on Wordsworth; on the Formation of Classical English;
on some Modern Poems (Matthew Arnold and the late Alexander
Smith), &c. &c. "Taken as a whole," the SPECTATOR says,
these volumes cannot fail to be a lasting monument of one of the
most original men of our age." "Full of charming letters from
Rome," says the MORNING STAR, "from Greece, from America,
from Oxford, and from Rugby."

"This is beyond question," the ART JOURNAL says, "the most beautiful book of the season.' Carefully, indeed lovingly drawn and daintily coloured," says the PALL MALL GAZETTE. The GUARDIAN thinks it "a successful attempt to associate in a natural and unforced manner the flowers of our fields and gardens with the course of the Christian year"

Cox.-RECOLLECTIONS OF OXFORD. By G. V. Cox, M.A., late Esquire Bedel and Coroner in the University of Oxford. Second and cheaper Edition. Crown 8vo. 65.

They are full of old stories and traditions, epigrams and personal traits of the distinguished men who have been at Oxford during that period. The TIMES says that it "will pleasantly recall in many a country parsonage the memory of youthful days.".

Culmshire Folk.-By IGNotus. Three vols. Crown 8vo.

31s. 6d.

"Its sparkling pleasantness, its droliery, its shrewdness, the charming little bits of character which frequently come in, its easy liveliness, and a certain chattiness which, while it is never vulgar, brings the writer very near, and makes one feel as if the story were being told in lazy confidence in an hour of idleness by a man who, while thoroughly good-natured, is strongly humorous, and has an everpresent perception of the absurdities of people and things.”—SPEC

Dante.-DANTE'S COMEDY, THE HELL.

W. M. ROSSETTI. Fcap. 8vo. cloth. 5s.

Translated by

"The aim of this translation of Dante may be summed up in one word-Literality. To follow Dante sentence for sentence, line for line, word for word—neither more nor less, has been my strenuous endeavour."-AUTHOR'S PREFACE.

The Contents of this interesting and instructive volume are,
doc and Deva," a story of British life in the first century ;
"Wolfgan and the Earl; or, Power," a story of Saxon Eng-
land: and "Roland," a story of the Crusaders. "Full of truth-
ful and charming historic pictures, is everywhere vital with moral

scription, and with a dramatic force in the representation of
character, that have made, and will always make, it one of the
greatest favourites with reading boys."-NONCONFORMIST.

MARJORY. By MILLY DEANE. Third Edition. With Frontispiece and Vignette. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

The TIMES of September 11th says it is "A very touching story, full of promise for the after career of the authoress. It is so tenderly

[ocr errors]

drawn, and so full of life and grace, that any attempt to analyse or describe it falls sadly short of the original. We will venture to say that few readers of any natural feeling or sensibility will take up Marjory' without reading it through at a sitting, and we hope we shall see more stories by the same hand." The MORNING POST calls it "A deliciously fresh and charming little love story."

By

De Vere.-THE INFANT BRIDAL, and other Poems. AUBREY DE VERE. Fcap. 8vo. 7s. 6d. "Mr. De Vere has taken his place among the poets of the day. Pure and tender feeling, and that polished restraint of style which is called classical, are the charms of the volume."—SPECTATOR.

THREE LECTURES:—(1) Inaugural, in which the nature of Poetry is discussed; (2) Provincial Poetry; (3) Dr. Newman's "Dream of Gerontius." "Full of thoughtful discrimination and fine insight: the lecture on Provincial Poetry' seems to us singularly true, eloquent, and instructive."-SPECTAtor. "All these dissertations are marked by a scholarly spirit, delicate taste, and the discriminating powers of a trained judgment.”DAILY NEWS.

Estelle Russell.--By the Author of "The Private Life of Galileo." New Edition. Crown 8vo.

6s.

Full of bright pictures of French life. The English family, whose fortunes form the main drift of the story, reside mostly in France, but there are also many English characters and scenes of great interest. It is certainly the work of a fresh, vigorous, and most interesting writer, with a dash of sarcastic humour which is refreshing and not too bitter. "We can send our readers to it with confidence." -SPECTATOR,
