"The volume is marked both by lyrical feeling and lyrical art . . it is poetic both in substance and form."-Daily News.

There is genuine beauty in his work-bright pure thoughts and tender fancies."-Scotsman.

"So free and unaffected that we cannot but believe that the 'new writer' must be a very old student, and a long-practised manipulator in the mechanics of verse."-Manchester Examiner.

XII.

THE INN OF STRANGE MEETINGS,

AND OTHER POEMS. By MORTIMER COLLINS.
Crown 8vo, 5S.

"Mr. Collins has an undercurrent of chivalry and romance beneath the trifling vein of good humoured banter which is the special characteristic of his verse. The Inn of Strange Meetings' is a

sprightly piece."—Athenæum.

"Mr. Mortimer Collins's new volume will please thousands of old friends, and win him hundreds of new. The poem which gives its name to the book is vigorous and graceful withal; has many pretty conceits, and possesses a healthy tone."

-Standard.

Abounding in quiet humour, in bright fancy, in sweetness and melody of expression, and, at times, in the tenderest touches of pathos." -Graphic.

ASPROMONTE, AND OTHER POEMS.

Second Edition, cloth, 4s. 6d.

"The volume is anonymous; but there is no reason for the author to be ashamed of it. The Poems of Italy' are evidently inspired by genuine enthusiasm in the cause espoused; and one of them, "The Execution of Felice Orsini,' has much poetic merit, the event celebrated being told with dramatic force."-Athenæum.

"The verse is fluent and free."—Spectator.

"We mention the book for its uncommon lyrical power and deep poetic feeling."—Literary Churchman.

"The poems are nearly all worthy of preservation."-Nonconformist.

"The present volume gives us conversations with some of the most prominent men in the political history of France and Italy

as

well as with others whose names are not so familiar or are hidden under initials. Mr. Senior had the art of inspiring all men with frankness, and of persuading them to put themselves unreservedly in his hands without fear of private circulation.”—Athenæum.

"The book has a genuine historical value."-Saturday Review.

"No better, more honest, and more readable view of the state of political society during the existence of the second Republic could well be looked for."-Examiner.

"Of the value of these volumes as an additional chapter in the history of France at the period when the Republic passed into the Empire, it is impossible to speak too highly."-Public Opinion.

Second Edition..

Bevelled boards, 8vo, price 10s. 6d.

"Mr. Drew has invented a new method of illustrating Scripture history, from observation of the countries. Instead of narrating his travels, and referring from time to time to the facts of sacred history belonging to the different places, he writes an outline history of the Hebrew nation from Abraham downwards, with special reference to the various points in which geography illustrates the history."-Saturday

Review.

Crown 8vo. 6s. Fifth Edition.

"One of the most valuable books ever published in India-valuable for its sound information, its careful array of pertinent facts, and its sterling common sense. It is a publisher's as well as an author's 'hit,' for it supplies a want which few persons may have discovered, but which everybody will at once recognise when once the contents of the book has been mastered. The medical part of the work is invaluable."— Calcutta Guardian.
