THE PRINCESS CLARICE.
A STORY OF 1871. By MOR-
TIMER COLLINS. Two vols.,
crown 8vo.

"Mr. Collins has produced a readable book, amusingly characteristic. There is good description of Devonshire scenery; and lastly there is Clarice, a most successful heroine, who must speak to the reader for herself."-Athenæum.

"Very readable and amusing. We would especially give an honourable mention to Mr. Collins' 'vers de société,' the writing of which has almost become a lost art."-Pall Mall Gazette.

"A bright, fresh, and original book, with which we recommend all genuine novel-readers to become acquainted at the earliest opportunity."-Standard.

THOMASINA. By the Author
of "Dorothy," "De Cressy,'
etc. Two vols., crown 8vo.
[Just out.

"We would liken it to a finished and delicate cabinet picture, in which there is no brilliant colour, and yet all is harmony; in which no line is without its purpose, but all contribute to the unity of the work." -Athenæum.

"For the delicacies of character-drawing, for play of incident, and for finish o style, we must refer our readers to the story itself: from the perusal of which they cannot fail to derive both interest and amusement."-Daily News.

"This undeniably pleasing story."Pall Mall Gazette.

CRUEL AS THE GRAVE.
By the COUNTESS VON BOTH-
MER. Three vols., crown 8vo.

[ocr errors]

Jealousy is cruel as the Grave."

"The Wise Man's motto is prefixed to an interesting, though somewhat tragic story, by the Countess von Bothmer. Her German prince, with his chivalrous affection, his disinterested patriotism, and his soldierlike sense of duty, is no unworthy type of a national character which has lately given the world many instances of old-fashioned heroism."-Athenæum.

"An agreeable, unaffected, and eminently readable novel."-Daily News.

LINKED AT LAST. By F.
E. BUNNETT. One vol., cr. 8vo.

"Linked at Last' contains so much of pretty description, natural incident, and delicate portraiture, that the reader who once takes it up will not be inclined to relinquish it without concluding the volume." Morning Post.

"A very charming story."-John Bull.

HER TITLE OF HONOUR.
By HOLME LEE. One vol.,
crown 8vo. (Second Edition.)
"It is unnecessary to recommend tales
of Holme Lee's, for they are well known,
and all more or less liked. But this book
far exceeds even our favourites, Sylvan
Holt's Daughter, Kathie Brande, and
Thorney Hall, because with the interest
of a pathetic story is united the value of
a definite and high purpose."-Spectator.
"A most exquisitely written story."-
Literary Churchman.

The whole story has an air of quaint antiquity similar to that which invests with a charm more easily felt than described the site of some splendid ruin,”—Illustrated London News.

MILITARY WORKS.

ARMY RESERVES AND
MILITIA REFORMS. By Lieut.-
Col. The Hon. C. ANSON.

[In the press.

[blocks in formation]

*The most important events described in this work are the battles of Spichern, those before Metz on the 14th and 18th August, and (on this point nothing authentic has yet been published) the history of the investment of Metz (battle of Noisseville).

This work, however, possesses a greater importance than that derived from these points, because it represents for the first time from the official documents the generalship of Von Steinmetz. Hitherto we

have had no exact reports on the deeds and motives of this celebrated general. This work has the special object of unfolding carefully the relations in which the commander of the First Army acted, the plan of operations which he drew up, and the manner in which he carried it out.

THE OPERATIONS OF THE
GERMAN ARMIES IN FRANCE,
FROM SEDAN TO THE END
OF THE WAR OF 1870-1. With
large Official Map. From the
Journals of the Head-Quarters
Staff. By Major WM. BLUME,
of the Prussian Ministry of War.
Translated by E. M. JONES,
Major 20th Foot, late Professor
of Military History, Sandhurst.
Demy 8vo. Price 9s.

"The work of Major von Blume in its English dress forms the most valuable addition to our stock of works upon the war that our press has put forth. Major Blume writes with a clear conciseness much wanting in many of his country's historians, and Major Jones has done himself and his original alike justice by his vigorous yet correct translation of the excellent volume on which he has laboured. Our space forbids our doing more than commending it earnestly as the most authentic and instructive narrative of the second section of the war that has yet appeared."-Saturday Review.

"The book is of absolute necessity to the military student. The work

:

has the

is one of high merit and
advantage of being rendered into fluent
English, and is accompanied by an ex-
cellent military map."-United Service
Gazette.

"The work of translation has been well done; the expressive German idioms have been rendered into clear nervous English without losing any of their original force: and in notes, prefaces, and introductions, much additional information has been given."-Athenæum.
