VERSE. Selected from the Works of George Eliot. By Alexander Main. Handsomely printed on Toned Paper, bound in gilt cloth. Second Edition, 6s.

"But undoubtedly George Eliot is the only woman of our time whose writings would be remembered for their humour alone, or whose sayings, just now collected into a volume by themselves, are at all likely, like Shakespeare's sayings, to pass into the substance of the language."-Spectator.

"His book is worthy to take its place among the remarkable works on Greek history which form one of the chief glories of English scholarship. The history of Greece is but half told without it."-London Guardian.

"His work is therefore learned and profound. It throws a flood of light upon an important though obscure portion of Grecian history.

In

the essential requisites of fidelity, accuracy, and learning, Mr Finlay bears a favourable comparison with any historical writer of our day."-North American Review.

A Personal Narrative. Post 8vo, with Portraits, 12s.

"A volume which contains the best sketch hitherto published of the campaign which put an end to Bourbon rule in the Two Sicilies. It is accompanied with plans of the chief battles; and its honest unexaggerated record contrasts very favourably with the strained and showy account of the Garibaldians just published by M. Dumas."—Examiner.

In 8vo, 10s. 6d.

"We do not scruple to recommend this popular and practical treatise as likely to be of great service to a vast number of wavering and unstable minds."-English Churchman.

"We sincerely recommend the book, which, if it does not contain anything strikingly original, at least sums up with force and clearness the main considerations which almost compel a belief in the substantial truth of Christ's mission and teaching."-Spectator.

The Subaltern. Originally published in Black

wood's Magazine.' Library Edition. Revised and Corrected, with a New Preface. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.

"The volume, though as interesting as any novel, is in all respects the actual record of its author's own experience, and it is in fact the day-to-day Journal of a young officer who embarked at Dover with his battalion in 1813, joined Lord Wellington's army a few days before the storming of San Sebastian, just as the French, under Soult, were being driven back through the Pyrenees on to their own soil, and had his share of the fighting on the Bidassoa. We must not omit to notice the new preface which gives an additional interest to the present issue of The Subaltern,' and which recounts the present-day aspect of the tract of country where were fought the last battles of the Peninsular War."-The Times.

The Story of the Campaign of Sebastopol. Writ

ten in the Camp. With Illustrations drawn in Camp by the Author. 8vo, 21s.

"We strongly recommend this Story of the Campaign' to all who would gain a just comprehension of this tremendous struggle. Of this we are perfectly sure, it is a book unlikely to be ever superseded. Its truth is of that simple and startling character which is sure of an immortal existence; nor is it paying the gallant author too high a compliment to class this masterpiece of military history with the most precious of those classic records which have been bequeathed to us by the great writers of antiquity who took part in the wars they have described."-The Press.

Illustrations, chiefly by Ernest Griset. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. "This is a charming little book, such as may be read through in half an hour; nor would it be easy to spend half an hour more pleasantly, or indeed to more profit. Slowly, very slowly indeed, but still by a sure progress, we are struggling out of the merely selfish and masterly view of the relations between ourselves and the lower animals; and Colonel Hamley's Essay, with its wide, kindly sympathies and delicate fancy, will help it on."-Spectator.
