"A faithful translation of this curious work, which will certainly repay perusal,not on the ground of its being full of horrors, for the original author seems to be rather ashamed of the technical aspect of his profession, and is commendab'y reticent as to its details, but because it contains a lucid account of the most notable causes célèbres from the time of Louis XIV. to a period within the memory of persons still living. The Memoirs, if not particularly instructive, can scarcely fail to be extremely entertaining."-Daily Telegraph. SCHOLA ITALICA; or, Engravings of the finest Pictures in the Galleries at Rome.

A full Prospectus will be sent upon application. "To Messrs. Chatto & Windus belongs the merit of having done more to facilitate the critical study of the text of our great dramatist than all the Shakespeare clubs and societies put together. A complete facsimile of the celebrated First Folio edition of 1623 for half-a-guinea is at once a miracle of cheapness and enterprise. Being in a reduced form, the type is necessarily rather diminutive, but it is as distinct as in a genuine copy of the o iginal, and will be found to be as useful and far more handy to the student than the latter."-Athenæum.

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, with 10 full-page Tinted Illustrations, 75. 6d.

"Whatever Sheridan has done, has been, par excellence, always the best of its kind. He has written the best comedy (School for Scandal), the best drama (the Duenna), the best farce (the Critic), and the best address (Monologue on Garrick); and, to crown all, delivered the very best oration (the famous Begum Speech) ever conceived or heard in this country."-BYRON.

"The editor has brought together within a manageable compass not only the seven plays by which Sheridan is best known, but a collection also of his poetical pieces which are less familiar to the public, sketches of unfinished dramas, selections from his reported witticisms, and extracts from his principal speeches. To these is prefixed a short but well-written memoir, giving the chief facts in Sheridan's literary and political career; so that with this volume in his hand, the student may consider himself tolerably well furnished with all that is necessary for a general comprehension of the subject of it."-Pall Mall Gazette.
