"They fill a gap in English letters, and they should find a place in every school library. It is odds but they will delight the master and be the pastime of the boys.... Mr. Ward is a model Editor. ... English poetry is epitomised; and that so brilliantly and well as to make the book in which the feat is done one of the best publications of its epoch."-THE TEACHER.

WRIGHT THE SCHOOL COOKERY BOOK. Compiled and Edited by C. E. GUTHRIE WRIGHT, Hon. Sec. to the Edinburgh School of Cookery. 18mo. IS.

Sir T. D. ACLAND, Bart., says of this book :-"I think the 'School Cook ry Book' the best cheap manual which I have seen on the subject. I hope teachers will welcome it. But it seems to me likely to be even more useful for domestic purposes in all ranks short of those served by professed cooks. The receipts are numerous and precise, the explanation of principles clear. The chap ers on the adaptation of food to varying circumstances, age, climate, employment, health, and on infants' food, seem to me excellent."

JOHNSON.

By LESLIE STEPHEN.

Crown 8vo.

2s. 6d.

"The new series opens well with Mr. Leslie Stephen's sketch of Dr. Johnson. It could hardly have been done better, and it will convey to the readers for whom it is intended a juster estimate of Johnson than either of the two essays of Lord Macaulay "-PALL MALL Gazette.

GOLDSMITH. By WILLIAM BLACK. Crown 8vo.

DEFOE. By W. MINTO.

Crown Svo. 2s. 6d.

"Mr. Minto's book is careful and accurate in all that is stated, and faithful in all that it suggests. It will repay reading more than once."-ATHENÆUM. BURNS. By Principal SHAIRP. Crown 8vo.

2s. 6d.

"It is impossible to desire fairer criticism than Principal Shairp's on Burns poetry.... None of the series has given a truer estimate either of character or of genius than this volume."-SPECTATOR.

BURKE.

By JOHN MORLEY.

Crown 8vo.

2s. 6d.

"It is no disparagement to the literary studies already published in this admirable series, to say that none of them have surpassed, while few have equalled, this volume on Burke."-BRITISH QUARTERLY Kaview

MILTON. By MARK PATTISON.

Crown 8vo. 25. 6d.

"The writer knows the times and the man, and of both he has written with singular force and discrimination."-SPECTATOR.

SOUTHEY. By Professor DOWDEN

"A truly scholarly and delightful monograph of a great writer, who has been of late years undeservedly neglected "-EXAMINER.

CHAUCER. By Professor A. W. WARD. Crown 8vo.

2s. 6d. "An enjoyable and excellent httle book is this of Professor Ward's. Far away the best connected account of Chaucer and his works to be found in English."ACADEMY.

BUNYAN. By JAMES A. FROUDE.

Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.

"The life and character of Bunyan stand out in bold relief, and for the first time the author of the Pilgrim's Progress' is pourtrayed as he really existed." -WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

POPE. BY LESLIE STEPHEN. Crown 8vo.

25. 6d.

"The sketch of Pope's life which Mr. Leslie Stephen has written is interesting throughout. A work which one can only lay down with a wish to have a good deal more on the same subject from the same hand."-ACADEMY.

...

BYRON. By Professor NICHOL. Crown 8vo.

2s. 6d.

"Decidedly one of the most careful and valuable of the whole series.

When

a book is as good as Professor Nichol's, there is little to be said about it, except to recommend it as widely as may be."-ATHENÆUM.

COWPER.

By GOLDWIN SMITH.

Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.

"Mr. Goldwin Smith has sketched in a few decisive touches the genius of the poet and the weakness of the man."-DAILY NEWS.

LOCKE. By Professor FowLER.

Crown 8vo.

2s. 6d.

"In the case of Locke's biographer, we venture to say that Mr. Morley has been exceptionally fortunate. A pen more competent than Professor Fowler's far this particular work might have been sought, and sought in vain."-EXAMINER.

WORDSWORTH. By F. W. H. MYERS.

Crown Svo. 2s. 6d.

"Mr. Myers gives us a picture of the man and an estimate of his work, which is certainly not inferior to anything that has preceded it. Possibly the best chapter in the book-every chapter is excellent-is that on Natural Religion."
