"The illustrations of this volume

[ocr errors]

are of quite sterling and admirable art, of a class precisely parallel in elevation to the character of the tales which they illustrate; and the original etchings, as I have before said in the Appendix to my Elements of Drawing, were unrivalled in masterfulness of touch since Rembrandt (in some qualities of delineation, unrivalled even by him). . . . . To make somewhat enlarged copies of them, looking at them through a magnifying glass, and never putting two lines where Cruikshank has put only one, would be an exercise in decision and severe drawing which would leave afterwards little to be learnt in schools."-Extract from Introduction by JOHN RUSKIN.

A Manual of Ancient History, with special reference to the Constitutions, Commerce, and Colonies of the States of Antiquity. "Prof. Heeren's Historical Researches stand in the very highest rank among those with which modern Germany has enriched European literature." Quarterly Review. "We look upon Heeren as having breathed a new life into the dry bones of Ancient History. In countries, the history of which has been too imperfectly known to afford lessons of political wisdom, he has taught us still more interesting lessons-on the social relations of men, and the intercourse of nations in the earlier ages of the world. His work is as learned as a professed commentary on the ancient historians and geographers, and as entertaining as a modern boo of travels."-Edinburgh Review.

"Poor Tom Hood! It is very sad to turn over the droll pages of 'From Nowhere to the North Pole,' and to think that he will never make the young people, for whom, like his famous father, he ever had such a kind, sympathetic heart, laugh or cry any more. This is a birthday story, and no part of it is better than the first chapter, concerning birthdays in general, and Frank's birthday in particular. The amusing letterpress is profusely interspersed with the jingling rhymes which children love and learn so easily. Messrs. Brunton and Barnes do full justice to the writer's meaning, and a pleasanter result of the harmonious co-operation of author and artist could not be desired."-Times.

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, 7s. 6d. "The volume, which contains nearly 800 pages, is liberally illustrated with facsimile cuts of Hood's own grotesque sketches, many of them pictorial puns, which always possess a freshness, and never fail to raise a genuine laugh. We have here some of Hood's earlier attempts, and his share of the Odes and Addresses to Great People.' Then we have the two series of 'Whims and Oddities,' which ought to be prescribed for nervous and hypochondriacal people: for surely more mirth was never packed into the same compass before, more of the rollicking abandonment of a rich, joyous humour, or more of the true geniality of nature which makes fun so delightful and leaves no after-taste of unkindness in the mouth. 'The Plea of the Midsummer Fairies' will be found here in unabridged form, together with 'Hero and Leander,' a number of Minor Poems,' among which we meet with some very pretty fanciesthe well-known Retrospective Review,' and 'I Remember, I Remember'Hood's contributions to the Gem, including 'The Dream of Eugene Aram,' 'The Cream of the Comic Annuals'-in itself a fund of merriment large enough to dispel the gloom of many a winter's evening-and the 'National Tales.' This is a fair representative selection of Hood's works, many of which have been hitherto inaccessible except at high prices. Most of the best known of his comic effusionsthose punning ballads in which he has never been approached-are to be found in the liberal collection Messrs. Chatto & Windus have given to the public."-Birmingham Daily Mail.
