    Preface. Fcap. 8vo. cloth. 4_s._ 6_d._

    Extra fcap. 8vo. 6_s._

=Archer.=--CHRISTINA NORTH. By E. M. ARCHER. Two vols.
    Crown 8vo. 21_s._

      "_The work of a clever, cultivated person, wielding a
      practised pen. The characters are drawn with force and
      precision, the dialogue is easy: the whole book displays
      powers of pathos and humour, and a shrewd knowledge of men
      and things._"--SPECTATOR.

      _The two volumes comprehend the First and Second Series
      of the Poems, and the New Poems._ "_Thyrsis is a poem

      full the spirit of gray and ancient Oxford._"--SATURDAY
      REVIEW.

=Atkinson.=--AN ART TOUR TO THE NORTHERN CAPITALS OF EUROPE. By
    J. BEAVINGTON ATKINSON. 8vo. 12_s._

      "_We can highly recommend it; not only for the valuable
      information it gives on the special subjects to which it is
      dedicated, but also for the interesting episodes of travel
      which are interwoven with, and lighten, the weightier
      matters of judicious and varied criticism on art and
      artists in northern capitals._"--ART JOURNAL.

=Baker.=--CAST UP BY THE SEA; OR, THE ADVENTURES OF NED GREY.
    By SIR SAMUEL BAKER, M.A., F.R.G.S. With Illustrations by

      CONTENTS:--A Wedding Story--A Stupid Story--A
      Scotch Story--A Man's Story. Crown 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._

      "_Lady Barker is endowed with a rare and delicate gift
      for narrating stories,--she has the faculty of throwing
      even into her printed narrative a soft and pleasant tone,
      which goes far to make the reader think the subject or the
      matter immaterial, so long as the author will go on telling
      stories for his benefit._"--ATHENAEUM.

    STORIES ABOUT:--With Six Illustrations. Third Edition.
    Extra fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._

      _This volume contains several entertaining stories about

    A CHRISTMAS CAKE IN FOUR QUARTERS. With Illustrations by
    JELLICOE. Second Edition. Ex. fcap. 8vo. cloth
    gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._

      book._"--GLOBE.

    RIBBON STORIES. With Illustrations by C. O. MURRAY.
    Second Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. cloth gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._

      "_We cannot too highly commend. It is exceedingly happy
      and original in the plan, and the graceful fancies of
      its pages, merry and pathetic turns, will be found
      the best reading by girls of all ages, and by boys
      too._"--TIMES.

    SYBIL'S BOOK. Illustrated by S. E. WALLER. Second Edition.
    Globe 8vo. gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._

      "_Another of Lady Barker's delightful stories, and one of
      the most thoroughly original books for girls that has been
      written for many years. Grown-up readers will like it quite
      as much as young people, and will even better understand
      the rarity of such simple, natural, and unaffected
      writing.... That no one can read the story without interest
      is not its highest praise, for no one ought to be able to
      lay it down without being the better girl or boy, or man or
      woman, for the reading of it. Lady Barker has never turned
      her fertile and fascinating pen to better account, and for
      the sake of all readers we wish 'Sybil's Book's a wide
      success._"--TIMES.

=Bell.=--ROMANCES AND MINOR POEMS. By HENRY GLASSFORD BELL.
    Fcap. 8vo. 6_s._

    Crown 8vo. 8_s._ 6_d._

      _The present work aims to afford information and direction
      touching the early efforts of France in poetical
      literature._ "_In one moderately sized volume he has
      contrived to introduce us to the very best, if not to all
      of the early French poets._"--ATHENAEUM.

=Betsy Lee=; A FO'C'S'LE YARN. Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._

      "_There is great vigour and much pathos in this
      poem._"--MORNING POST.

      "_We can at least say that it is the work of a true
      poet._"--ATHENAEUM.

=Black (W.)=--Works by W. BLACK, Author of "A Daughter of Heth."

    THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF A PHAETON. Seventh and Cheaper
    Edition. Crown 8vo. 6_s._ Also, Illustrated by S. E.
    WALLER, 8vo. cloth gilt. 10_s._ 6_d._

      "_The book is a really charming description of a thousand
      English landscapes and of the emergencies and the fun and
      the delight of a picnic journey through them by a party
      determined to enjoy themselves, and as well matched as
      the pair of horses which drew the phaeton they sat in.
      The real charm and purpose of the book is its open-air
      life among hills and dales._"--TIMES. "_The
      great charm of Mr. Black's book is that there is nothing
      hackneyed about it, nothing overdrawn,--all is bright and
      lifelike._"--MORNING POST.

    A PRINCESS OF THULE. Three vols. Sixth and cheaper Edition.
    Crown 8vo. 6_s._

      The SATURDAY REVIEW says:--"_A novel which is
      both romantic and natural, which has much feeling, without
      any touch of mawkishness, which goes deep into character
      without any suggestion of painful analysis--this is a rare
      gem to find amongst the debris of current literature,
      and this, or nearly this, Mr. Black has given us in the
      'Princess of Thule.'_" "_It has, for one thing, the great
      charm of novelty.... There is a picturesqueness in all that
      Mr. Black writes, but scarcely even in the 'Adventures
      of a Phaeton' are there the freshness and sweetness and
      perfect sense of natural beauty we find in this last
      book._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE. "_A beautiful and
      nearly perfect story._"--SPECTATOR.

=Borland Hall.=--By the Author of "Olrig Grange." Crown 8vo. 7_s._

      with consummate beauty._"--LITERARY CHURCHMAN.

=Buist.=--BIRDS, THEIR CAGES AND THEIR KEEP: Being a Practical

      Cornfield_," _by John Constable_; _and_ "_A Landscape_,"
      _by Birket Foster. The_ DAILY NEWS _says of them_,

      originals._"

      and highly original book, sure to delight the little
      world of wondering minds, and which may well please
      those who have unfortunately passed the years of
      wondering._"--TIMES.

    THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, AND WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE. With
    Fifty Illustrations by TENNIEL. Crown 8vo. gilt. 6_s._
    35th Thousand.

      "_Quite as rich in humorous whims of fantasy, quite as
      laughable in its queer incidents, as loveable for its
      pleasant spirit and graceful manner, as the wondrous tale
      of Alice's former adventures._"--ILLUSTRATED LONDON
      NEWS. "_If this had been given to the world first it
      would have enjoyed a success at least equal to 'Alice in
      Wonderland._'"--STANDARD.

    gilt edges, L3 3_s._ Also a Cheaper Edition, 21_s._

      "_A most exquisitely got up volume. Legend, carol, and text
      are preciously enshrined in its emblazoned pages, and the
      illuminated borders are far and away the best example of
      their art we have seen this Christmas. The pictures and
      borders are harmonious in their colouring, the dyes are
      brilliant without being raw, and the volume is a trophy of
      colour-printing. The binding by Burn is in the very best
      taste._"--TIMES.

      Clough._"--FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

=Clunes.=--THE STORY OF PAULINE: an Autobiography. By G. C. CLUNES.
    Crown 8vo. 6_s._

      lucidity of style, 'The Story of Pauline' is in the first

      delightful vivacity, thorough appreciation of life, and
      a complete knowledge of character._"--MANCHESTER
      EXAMINER.
