Two Vols., 8vo, cloth extra, 36s. "As a defence of the painter's character and career the work before us will possibly meet with as much criticism as approval; but there can, we think, be no question of its interest in a purely biographical sense, or of its literary merit. The letters and table-talk form in themselves a most valuable contribution to the social and artistic history of the time, and would be very welcome even without the memoir which precedes them."-Pall Mall Gazette. "The volumes are among the most interesting produced or likely to be produced by the present season."-Examiner. "One of the most moving histories that has been published in modern days. Haydon's case has never before been fairly laid before the public; the man has never been shown as he was in truth, through the medium of his correspondence, his diaries, sayings and actions. Charming correspondence, and still more charming table-talk."-Morning Post. "Here we have a full-length portrait of a most remarkable man. His son has done the work well-is clear and discriminating on the whole, and writes with ease and vigour. Over and above the interest that must be felt in Haydon himself, the letters afford us the opportunity of studying closely many of the greatest men and women of the time. We do not hesitate to say that these letters and table-talk form a most valuable contribution to the history of art and literature in the past generation. The editor has selected and arranged them with uncommon judgment, adding many notes that contain ana and anecdotes. Every page has thus its point of interest. The book will no doubt have a wide audience, as it well deserves."-Nonconformist. HISTORICAL PORTRAITS; Upwards of 430 Engravings of Rare Prints.

Including the CREAM OF THE COMIC ANNUALS. With Life of the Author, Portrait, and over Two Hundred original Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, 7s. 6d. "Not only does the volume include the better-known poems by the author, but also what is happily described as 'the cream of the Comic Annuals.' Such delicious things as 'Don't you smell Fire?' The Parish Revolution,' and 'Huggins and Duggins,' will never want readers."—Graphic. "The volume, which contains nearly 800 pages, is liberally illustrated with facsimile cuts of Hood's own grotesque sketches, many of them pictorial puns, which always possess a freshness, and never fail to raise a genuine laugh. We have here some of Hood's earlier attempts, and his share of the Odes and Addresses to Great People.' Then we have the two series of Whims and Oddities,' which ought to be prescribed for nervous and hypochondriacal people: for surely more mirth was never packed into the same compass before, more of the rollicking abandonment of a rich, joyous humour, or more of the true geniality of nature which makes fun so delightful and leaves no after-taste of unkindness in the mouth. The Plea of the Midsummer Fairies' will be found here in unabridged form, together with 'Hero and Leander,' a number of Minor Poems,' among which we meet with some very pretty fanciesthe well-known 'Retrospective Review,' and 'I Remember, I Remember'Hood's contributions to the Gem, including The Dream of Eugene Aram,' The Cream of the Comic Annuals'-in itself a fund of merriment large enough to dispel the gloom of many a winter's evening-and the National Tales.' This is a fair representative selection of Hood's works, many of which have been hitherto inaccessible except at high prices. Most of the best known of his comic effusionsthose punning ballads in which he has never been approached-are to be found in the liberal collection Messrs. Chatto & Windus have given to the public."-Birmingham Daily Mail. HOOD'S (Tom) HUMOROUS WORKS. Edited, with a Memoir, by his Sister, FRANCES FREeling BroderiP.

It is very sad to turn over the droll pages of 'From Nowhere to the North Pole,' and to think that he will never make the young people, for whom, like his famous father, he ever had such a kind, sympathetic heart, laugh or cry any more. This is a birthday story, and no part of it is better than the first chapter, concerning birthdays in general, and Frank's birthday in particular. The amusing letterpress is profusely interspersed with the jingling rhymes which children love and learn so easily. Messrs. Brunton and Barnes do full justice to the writer's meaning, and a pleasanter result of the harmonious co-operation of author and artist could not be desired."-Times.

SHEPHERD. With Two Portraits and facsimile of a page of the " Essay on Roast Pig. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, 75. 6d. " "The genius of Mr. Lamb, as developed in his various writings, takes rank with the most original of the age. As a critic he stands facile princeps in the subject he handled. Search English literature through, from its first beginnings until now, and you will find none like him. There is not a criticism he ever wrote that does not directly tell you a number of things you had no previous notion of. In criticism he was indeed, in all senses of the word, a discoverer-like Vasco Nunez or Magellan. In that very domain of literature with which you fancied yourself most variously and closely acquainted, he would show you fresh fields and pastures new,' and these the most fruitful and delightful. For the riches he discovered were richer that they had lain so deep-the more valuable were they, when found, that they had eluded the search of ordinary men. As an essayist, Charles Lamb will be remembered in years to come with Rabelais and Montaigne, with Sir Thomas Browne, with Steele and with Addison. He unites many of the finest characteristics of these several writers. He has wisdom and wit of the highest order, exquisite humour, a genuine and cordial vein of pleasantry, and the most heart-touching pathos. In the largest acceptation of the word, he is a humanist."-JOHN FORster. LAMB (Mary and Charles): THEIR POEMS, LETTERS, and REMAINS. With Reminiscences and Notes by W. CAREW HAZLITT.

"After wading through numberless volumes of icy fiction, concocted narrative, and spurious biography of Arctic voyagers, it is pleasant to meet with a real and genuine volume. He shows much tact in recounting his adventures, and they are so interspersed with anecdotes and information as to make them anything but wearisome. The book, as a whole, is the most important addition made to our Arctic literature for a long time."-Athenæum. "Full of entertainment and information."-Nature. "Mr. Lamont has taken a share distinctively his own in the work of Arctic discovery, and the value of his labours as an 'amateur explorer' is to be attributed to the systematic manner in which he pursued his investigations, no less than to his scientific qualifications for the task. The handsome volume is full of valuable and interesting information to the sportsman and naturalist—it would be difficult to say which of the two will enjoy it most."-Scotsman.
