A New Edition, in 2 volumes, post 8vo, beautifully printed on antique laid paper, and bound in antique boards, 215. A few Large Paper copies have been prepared, price 35s.

Of the Poets of the Restoration, there are none whose works are more rare than those of Sir John Mennis and Dr. James Smith. The small volume entitled "Musarum Delicia; or, The Muses' Recreation," which contains the productions of these two friends, was not accessible to Mr. Freeman when he compiled his Kentish Poets," and has since become so rare that it is only found in the cabinets of the curious. A reprint of the " Musarum Delicia," together with several other kindred pieces of the period, appeared in 1817, forming two volumes of Facetiæ, edited by Mr. E. Dubois, author of "The Wreath," &c. These volumes having in turn become exceedingly scarce, the Publishers venture to put forth the present new edition, in which, while nothing has been omitted, no pains have been spared to render it more complete and elegant than any that has yet appeared. The type, plates, and woodcuts of the originals have been accurately followed; the notes of the Editor of 1817 are considerably augmented, and indexes have been added, together with a portrait of Sir John Mennis, from a painting by Vandyke in Lord Clarendon's Collection.

Music and Moonlight: Poems and Songs.

By ARTHUR O'SHAUGHNESSY, Author of "An Epic of Women." Fcap. 8vo, cloth extra, 7s. 6d.

"It is dificult to say which is more exquisite, the technical perfection of structure and melody, or the delicate pathos of thought. Mr. O'Shaughnessy will enrich our literature with some of the very best songs written in our generation."-Academy. "The poet has put his soul into his work. The careful, artistic workmanship gives some of the shorter poems the finish of a gem. By the publication of this volume Mr. O'Shaughnessy will enhance a reputation that already stands high."-Sunday Times. "The reader will be able to judge of the exquisite finish of the workmanship. In many senses Mr. O'Shaughnessy is indeed a master of the formal art of poetry. The present volume is sure to add to Mr. O'Shaughnessy's reputation, and by its many beauties of versification, style, and genuine poetic feeling, it cannot fail to charm a wide circle of admirers."-Examiner.

"The author of Music and Moonlight' has already attained something akin to supremacy in a certain sphere of art, and he can claim a place in the very front rank of modern English song writers: Mr. Rossetti is his only rival. The perfection of form in the lyric entitled 'Outcry' has not been surpassed in this century." Lloyd's Weekly News.
