THOUGHTS ON ART AND AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS OF GIOVANNI DUPRÈ. Translated from the Italian by E. M. PERUZZI, with the permission of the Author. With Portrait, crown 8vo, 10s. 6d.

"It is a bright and frank record of an artistic existence, singularly rich in variety and suggestion. It abounds in reflections, often striking, sometimes profound, that cannot fail to arrest the art student by their truth and the characteristic sympathy of their utterance."-Saturday Review.

"Apart altogether from the many valuable and instructive observations on art which permeate the text, the work will be found lively and entertaining by all who delight in personal reminiscences. With a frank free pen the author narrates the story of his struggle for fame, and much that he recounts may be read with profit by young artists." -Dundee Advertiser.

"The book is a picture of a simple manly artist, who has been inspired throughout his long career by a high ideal of his art, and has worshipped sculpture for its own sake, rather than for the money or the honours which he had derived from it."- The Architect.

"Signor Duprè has told his story with agreeable frankness and candour. It is one of arduous struggle, ending in victory and honourable achievement."-Scotsman.

SPORT IN THE HIGHLANDS AND LOWLANDS OF SCOTLAND WITH ROD AND GUN. By T. SPEEDY. 8vo, with Illustrations, 15s.

"We repeat that we can recommend this volume, with its varied contents, as an admirable handbook to Scottish wild sports."-The Times.

"Not only freshmen but experienced sportsmen will find valuable hints in these pages." -Pall Mall Gazette.

"The author treats of all kinds of sport to be obtained with rod and gun, in a manner to be of great use to the uninitiated.......Mr Speedy writes with a thorough knowledge of his subject, and the book throughout is eminently practical."-Land and Water.

"One of the best books on sporting subjects extant.. .Dogs, and guns, and birds, and deer are all familiar to Mr Speedy.......It is a delightful book, and one of genuine usefulness."-Scotsman.

LANCELOT WARD, M.P. A Love-Story.

GEORGE TEMPLE. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.

"The author's book must be read in order to appreciate the keen observation, humour, and brightness that distinguish it from the ordinary run of novels,"-Morning Post.

"An exceedingly bright, dashing, pleasant, and short story."-Truth. "There is the powerful grasp that compels attention, the irresistible attraction that prevents a halt, and keeps the reader reading."-St James's Gazette.

"It is one of unusual promise. It is well written and well constructed, has a good plot and a well sustained motive. All the characters are vividly and firmly drawn."London Guardian.

LUCIA, HUGH, AND ANOTHER. By Mrs J.

H. NEEDELL, Author of 'Julian Karslake's Secret.' 3 vols. post 8vo, 25s. 6d. "The novel has a grasp and force of character-drawing and a dramatic energy which places it far in front of anything Mrs Needell has done before, and in front of most of the novels of the day.......The story lives. The passion in it vibrates through every scene between the principal actors, yet the feeling is never forced or exaggerated.......The story is one of deep interest and strongly original power."-Daily News.

"It would not be very easy to find in modern fiction a more skilful and subtle study of character than that which Mrs Needell has given us in this very original conception. .The essential qualities of a good work of fiction this novel certainly has. Not the least is a singularly vigorous, and as the expression is still, we suppose, complimentary, masculine style."-Pall Mall Gazette.

"The delineation of these three personages is admirable; no finer or more subtle psychological study is to be found in the pages of recent fiction. The book is not by any means a cheerful one, but its interest is as intense as it is skilfully sustained, and the literary workmanship is throughout excellent."-Scotsman.

"Both powerful and forcibly written, this is really a clever novel. Its opening pages are bright and full of promise, as the early years of its personages. But when life's storms gather round them these are painted with dramatic effect. The story is original and of a kind not often met with in English fiction.......It is a tale of engrossing interest and of more than ordinary merit.”—Morning Post.
