TOM CRINGLES LOG.

A New Edition.

With Illustrations by STANFIELD, WEIR, SKELTon, Walker,

&c., Engraved by WHYMPER. Crown 8vo, 6s.

"Everybody who has failed to read Tom Cringle's Log' should do so at once. The Quarterly Review' went so far as to say that the papers composing it, when it first appeared in Blackwood,' were the most brilliant series of the time, and that time one unrivalled for the number of famous magazinists existing in it. Coleridge says, in his Table Talk,' that the Log' is most excellent; and these verdicts have been ratified by generations of men and boys, and by the manifestation of Continental approval which is shown by repeated translations. The engravings illustrating the present issue are excellent."

"This story, so fresh, so powerfully written, and so tragic, stands out from among its fellows like a piece of newly-coined gold in a handful of dim commonplace shillings. Tales of pastoral experience and scenes from clerical life we have had in plenty, but the sacred things of the conventicle, the relative posi tion of pastor and flock in a Nonconforming connection,' were but guessed at by the world outside, and terrible is the revelation."- Westminster Review.

"A book pleasant to look at and pleasant to read-pleasant from its rich store of anecdote, its geniality, and its humour, even to persons who care little for the subjects of which it treats, but beyond measure de lightful to those who are in any degree members of the above-mentioned fraternity."-Saturday Review. "We have not been more amused for a long time and every reader who takes interest in typography and its consequences will say the same, if he will begin to read; beginning, he will finish, and be sorry

when it is over."-Athenæum.

"Mr Burton has now given us a pleasant book, full of quaint anecdote, and of a lively bookish talk. There is a quiet humour in it which is very taking, and there is a curious knowledge of books which is really very sound."-Examiner.

Edited by Professor AYTOUN. Second Edition.

2 vols. fcap. 8vo, 12s.

"No country can boast of a richer collection of Ballads than Scotland, and no Editor for these Ballads could be found more accomplished than Professor Aytoun. He has sent forth two beautiful volumes which range with Percy's Reliques'-which, for completeness and accuracy, leave little to be desired--which must henceforth be considered as the standard edition of the Scottish Ballads, and which we commend as a model to any among ourselves who may think of doing like service to the English Ballads."-Times.
