Æsop's Fables

Translated into Human Nature. By C. H. BENNETT.

"For fun and frolic the new version of Esop's Fables must bear away the palm. There are plenty of grown-up children who like to be amused; and if this new version of old stories does not amuse them they must be very dull indeed, and their situation one much to be commiserated."-MORNING POST.

A History of Advertising,

From the Earliest Times.

Illustrated by Anecdotes, Curious Specimens, and Biographical Notes of Successful Advertisers. By HENRY SAMPSON.

"We have here a book to be thankful for. Among the many interesting illustrations is a photographed copy of the Times' for January 1st, 1788, which may be easily read by means of a magnifying glass. We recommend the present volume, which takes us through antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the present time, illustrating all in turn by advertisements-serious, comic, roguish, or downright rascally. The chapter on swindles and hoaxes' is full of entertainment; but of that the volume itself is full from the first page to the last."-ATHEnæum.

There is something fascinating, almost romantic, in the details given us of Child's Bank. There is a great deal of amusing reading and some valuable information in this book."-SATURDAY REVIEW.

Belgravia Magazine.

In

THAT the purpose with which "BELGRAVIA" was originated has been fulfilled, is shown by the popularity that has attended it since its first appearance. Aiming, as may be inferred from its name, at supplying the most refined and cultivated section of London society with intellectual pabulum suited to its requirements, it sprang at once into public favour, and has since remained one of the most extensively read and widely circulated of periodicals. In passing into new hands it has experienced no structural change or modification. creased energy and increased capital have been employed in elevating it to the highest standard of excellence, but all the features that had won public appreciation have been retained, and the Magazine still seeks its principal support in the homes of Belgravia. As the means through which the writer most readily reaches the heart of the general public, and in consequence as the most important of aids in the establishment of morals and the formation of character, fiction still remains a principal feature in the Magazine. Two serial stories accordingly run through its pages; supplemented by short stories, novelettes, and narrative or dramatic sketches: whilst essays, social, biographical, and humorous; scientific discoveries brought to the level of popular comprehension, and treated with a light touch; poetry, of the highest character; and records of adventure and travel, form the remaining portion of the contents. Especial care is now bestowed upon the illustrations, of which no fewer than four appear in each number. Beyond the design of illustrating the article they accompany, these aim at maintaining a position as works of art, both as regards drawing and engraving. In short, whatever claims the Magazine before possessed to favour have now been enhanced, and the Publishers can but leave the result to a public that has seldom failed to appreciate all earnest, persistent, and well-directed efforts for its amusement and benefit.

**The THIRTY-THIRD Volume of BELGRAVIA (which includes the HOLIDAY NUMBER), elegantly bound in crimson cloth, full gilt side and back, gilt edges, price 7s. 6d., is now ready.-Handsome Cases for binding the volume can be had at 2s. each.

Bret Harte's Select Works,

in Prose and Poetry. With Introductory Essay by J. M. BELLEW, Portrait of the Author, and 50 Illustrations.

"Not many months before my friend's death, he had sent me two sketches of a young American writer (Bret Harte), far away in California (The Outcasts of Poker Flat, and another), in which he had found such subtle strokes of character as he had not anywhere else in late years discovered; the manner resembling himself, but the matter fresh to a degree that had surprised him; the painting in all respects masterly, and the wild rude thing painted a quite wonderful reality. I have rarely known him more honestly moved."-FORSTER'S LIFE OF DICKENS

quities, chiefly Illustrating the Origin of our Vulgar Customs, Ceremonies, and Superstitions. With the Additions of Sir HENRY ELLIS. An entirely New and Revised Edition, with fine full-page Illustrations.
