POETRY-continued.

A NEW VOLUME OF SONNETS. By the Rev. C. Tennyson Turner. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

"Mr. Turner is a genuine poet; his song is sweet and pure, beautiful in expression, and often subtle in thought."-Pall Mall Gazette.

"The dominant charm of all these sonnets is the pervading presence of the writer's personality, never obtruded but always impalpably diffused. The light of a devout, gentle, and kindly spirit, a delicate and graceful fancy, a keen intelligence irradiates these thoughts."-Contemporary Review. GOETHE'S FAUST. A New Translation in Rime. By the Rev. C. Kegan Paul. Crown 8vo. 6s.

"His translation is the most minutely, accurate that has yet been produced. -Examiner.

"Mr. Paul evidently understands

'Faust,' and his translation is as well suited to convey its meaning to English readers as any we have yet seen."-Edinburgh Daily Review.

"Mr. Paul is a zealous and a faithful interpreter."-Saturday Review.

THE DREAM AND THE DEED, AND OTHER POEMS. By Patrick Scott, Author of "Footpaths between Two Worlds," etc. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 5s.

"A bitter and able satire on the vice and follies of the day, literary, social, and political."-Standard.

"Shows real poetic power coupled with evidences of satirical energy."-Edinburgh Daily Review.

SONGS OF TWO WORLDS. By a New Writer. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 5s. Second Edition.

"These poems will assuredly take high rank among the class to which they belong." -British Quarterly Review, April 1st.

"If these poems are the mere preludes of a mind growing in power and in inclination for verse, we have in them the promise of a fine poet."-Spectator, February 17th.

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

"It has a purity and delicacy of feeling like morning air."-Graphic, March 16th. THE LEGENDS OF ST. PATRICK AND OTHER POEMS. By Aubrey de Vere. Crown 8vo. 5s.

"Mr. De Vere's versification in his earlier poems is characterised by great sweetness and simplicity. He is master of his instrument, and rarely offends the ear with false notes. Poems such as these scarcely admit of quotation, for their charm is not, and ought not to be, found in isolated passages; but we can promise the patient and thoughtful reader much pleasure in the perusal of this volume." Pall Mall Gazette.

"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."-Saturday Review.

HESTER

MORLEY'S PROMISE. By Hesba Stretton. 3 vols.

"Hester Morley's Promise' is much better than the average novel of the day; it has much more claim to critical consideration as a piece of literary work,-not mere mechanism. The pictures of a narrow society-narrow of soul and intellect-in which the book abounds, are very clever." -Spectator.

THE DOCTOR'S

DILEMMA.

Wille. Translated by F.E. Bunnett. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

"The art of description is fully exhibited; perception of character and capacity for delineating it are obvious; while there is great breadth and comprehensiveness in the plan of the story."--Morning Post. THE SPINSTERS OF BLATCHINGTON. By Mar. Travers. 2 vols. Crown 8vo.

"A pretty story. Deserving of a favourable reception."-Graphic.

I vol.
Crown 8vo, cloth, extra gilt. 9s.

Crown 8vo. Price 215.

"There is a quaintness and simplicity in the roguery of the hero that makes his life as attractive as that of Guzman d'Alfarache or Gil Blas, and so we advise our readers not to be dismayed at the length of Pandurang Hari, but to read it resolutely through. If they do this they cannot, we think, fail to be both amused and interested."-Times.
