and her lover._--Philadelphia Press.

indescribable touch that fixes your eye on the true heart and soul of
the theme._--Critic, _N. Y._

_The charm of Mr. Kinglake's style, the wonderful beauty of his
pictures, the subtle irony of his reflections, have made him so long
a favorite and companion, that it is with unfeigned regret we read the
word "farewell" with which these volumes close._--Pall Mall Gazette,
_London._

WHAT I REMEMBER. By T. ADOLPHUS TROLLOPE. With Portrait. 12mo, Cloth,

anterior to our own.... Mr. Trollope preserves for us delightful,

glimpses of loved or worshipped faces banished before our time. Hence
the success of these written remembrances._--Academy, _London._

as made Mr. Lea's "Sacerdotal Celibacy" the wonder of European
scholars. But it seems even to surpass his former works in judicial
