A Book about Roses,

HOW TO GROW AND SHOW THEM. By S. Reynolds Hole, Author of 'A Little Tour in Ireland.' Fourth Edition, Enlarged. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d. "It is the production of a man who boasts of thirty 'all England' cups, whose Roses are always looked for anxiously at flower-shows, who took the lion's share in originating the first Rose-show pur et simple, whose assistance as judge or amicus curia is always courted at such exhibitions. Such a man 'ought to have something to say worth hearing to those who love the Rose,' and he has said it."-Gardeners' Chronicle.

"We cordially recommend the book to every amateur who wishes to grow Roses as at once the pleasantest and the best yet written on the subject.”— The Field.

"A very captivating book, containing a great deal of valuable information about the Rose and its culture, given in a style which cannot fail to please." Journal of Horticulture.

He has placed in the hands of English readers a poem which deserves to outlive the present generation."-Edinburgh Review.

"We assign it, without hesitation, the first place among existing English translations."-Westminster Review.

"Whatever surmises may be formed about Mary's knowledge or assent, there can now be no doubt that the murder was contrived, not by Mary, but by her accusers."-Scotsman.

"He has confuted those who, by brilliant writing and a judicious selection of evidence, paint the Queen of Scots as an incarnate fiend, and who are dramatic poets rather than historians."-The Times.

"We know no series of maps which we can more warmly recommend. The accuracy, wherever we have attempted to put it to the test, is really astonishing."-Saturday Review.

"The culmination of all attempts to depict the face of the world appears in the Royal Atlas, than which it is impossible to conceive anything more perfect." -Morning Herald.

"This is, beyond question, the most splendid and luxurious, as well as the most useful and complete, of all existing atlases."—Guardian.

"An almost daily reference to, and comparison of, it with others, since the publication of the first part some two years ago until now, enables us to say, without the slightest hesitation, that this is by far the most complete and authentic atlas that has yet been issued."-Scotsman.

The Handy Royal Atlas.

45 Maps clearly printed and carefully coloured, with General Index. By A. Keith Johnston, F.R.S. E., F.R.G.S., &c. Imp. 4to, 2, 12s. 6d., half-bound morocco.

This work has been constructed for the purpose of placing in the hands of the public a useful and thoroughly accurate ATLAS of Maps of Modern Geography, in a convenient form, and at a moderate price. It is based on the ROYAL ATLAS,' by the same Author; and, in so far as the scale permits, it comprises many of the excellences which its prototype is acknowledged to possess. The aim has been to make the book strictly what its name implies, a HANDY ATLAS-a valuable substitute for the Royal,' where that is too bulky or too expensive to find a place, a needful auxiliary to the junior branches of families, and a vade mecum to the tutor and the pupil-teacher.

[ocr errors]

"This is Mr Keith Johnston's admirable Royal Atlas diminished in bulk and scale, so as to be, perhaps, fairly entitled to the name of "Handy," but still not so much diminished but what it constitutes an accurate and useful general Atlas for ordinary households."-Spectator.

"The Handy Atlas' is thoroughly deserving of its name. Not only does it contain the latest information, but its size and arrangement render it perfect as a book of reference."-Standard.
