NEW EDITIONS OF MR. CHAVASSE'S WORKS.

Works.

Selected and Edited, with a Biographical Introduction,

By CHARLES KENT.

"This memoir is both generous and discreet. Mr. Kent's feeling for the man is as clear as his admiration for the writer. He has, in short, written precisely as a friend should write, but as friends too rarely do write in these longwinded days; not a word too much, and yet omitting nothing which could show us the man at his best-a welldrawn, well-composed, genuine little piece of portraiture."

World.

"Mr. Kent was an intimate friend of Leigh Hunt's. His biographical introduction is masterly; and of his book as a whole no better verdict could be found than the motto. I should like,' so runs that motto, to remain visible in this shape. The little of myself that pleases myself I could wish to be accounted worth pleasing others.' These are Hunt's own words; and no lover of that genial writer's prose and verse will refuse to admit, with admiration and gratitude, that Mr. Kent has carried out the wish of his friend most successfully."-St. James's Gazette.

"It is impossible not to feel, as one turns the pages of this most interesting volume, that the graceful, playful, genial essays form a true reflex of the mind of the man in whose brain they had their birth. The tenderness of the great heart of the author is shown most of all in the loving poems written to his children, and the gently selfish, innocently Sybaritic disposition, which is almost inseparable from the artistic temperament."-Court Journal.

"This is, perhaps, the best service that has yet been done to the memory of one of the most attractive men and most pleasing writers. Hitherto the works of Leigh Hunt have lain scattered over many volumes, the bulk of the best of his writing practically inaccessible save to critics and students. Mr. Kent has skimmed the very cream for us, and arranged it here in the most attractive manner, not missing much either excellent in itself or calculated to give variety. The volume is excellent-exactly the one to take up now and then with the assurance of finding something felicitous, helpful, or gently humorous and inspiriting."

Nonconformist.

"We predict a large circulation for this collection of wit, pathos, and poetry, and heartily commend it to the notice of those who wish to become familiar with some of the best literature of the early part of the present century."

Antiquary.

"The choice is made from an intimate knowledge of Leigh Hunt's work, and a sound, critical judgment as to its value. Mr. Kent prefixes to the reprinted pieces an interesting biographical sketch of their author. The volume is a welcome addition to the cheap reprints of good literature." Scotsman.

"Mr. Kent has done his work as editor and biographer well, and his volume is one which lovers of Hunt's writings will be glad to possess. Especially is Mr. Kent to be applauded for his vindication of one who, in his lifetime, was much calumniated, yet of whom Charles Dickens could write that he was 'a man who, in the midst of the sorest temptations, maintained his honesty unblemished by a single stain; who never bartered his opinion, or betrayed his friend.'"-Nottingham Guardian.

"The very subjects are delightful, and are delightfully dealt with-with a humour that is quaint, naïve, and tho

The CYCLOPÆDIA of EDUCATION.

By a large number of eminent Educational Specialists. Edited by A. B. FLETCHER. "The appearance of the 'Cyclopædia of Education' is, or ought to be, a most important event in the growth of our educational literature, and teachers who take my advice will avail themselves of its cheapness. It is likely to be unrivalled in belonging to the ninteenth century."-R. H. QUICK in Journal of Education. "Will be little less than essential in the school reference library."-School Board Chronic'e.

The BANQUET (IL CONVITO) of DANTE ALIGHIERI. Trans

lated by KATHARINE HILLARD.

"All Dante scholars will welcome this excellent translation of the Convito..... A thoroughly satisfactory book. Not only is the translation by far the best that has appeared in English, but the notes and introduction are very mines of information on all subjects connected with Dante, his life, times, and work."-St. James's Gazette.

DANTE: a Dramatic Poem.
"The work's chief charm is, perhaps, for the special devotees of Dante. It puts one view of the story of his life into a
sweetly feigned action, and thus reveals a deep and reverent study of the master....A welcome addition to the growing litera-
ture that centres round Dante."-Scotsman.

3. JOHN NEWBOLD'S ORDEAL.

By THOMAS PINKERTON. 2 vols.

"Easily holds the attention by its never failing brightness of style."Scotsman. "From an old man's nose to a fox-terrier his sketches are quaint and characteristic."-Athenæum. "Written in an exceptionally happy vein."-Whitehall. "Fresh, full of humour. Keenly perceptive of the ridiculous side of human nature."-Post.

SWAN SONNENSCHEIN & Co. Paternoster-square.

"There is in this writer's idea a primitive, but potent sweetness, suggesting those old-world flowers now too rarely met with."-Athenæum.

"It is distinctly encouraging to turn from the volumes which preach the doctrine of art for art's sake in every variety of mood, from that which simply ignores morality to that which flagrantly insults it, to so thoughtful a work as 'A Modern Ideal.' We hope to meet the writer of such verse as this again."-Spectator.

"A Modern Ideal' is unquestionably a poem of very great mark and a distinct gain to contemporary literature. The difficulty one feels in reviewing the poem is not that of finding something to quote, but of doing justice by limited extracts to a book which contains so much quotable matter."-Academy.

"A singularly high and pure strain of thought and feeling runs through the poem. It is full of passages of great beauty and tenderness."-Scotsman.

"Three friends meet together and agree to pursue the common aim of benefiting the world each in his own way. One chooses art, another philanthropy, the third will seek for truth. Successive scenes show how they prosper in their aims. In some of these a high level of merit is reached.-Pall Mall Gazette.

"It is a book whose claim to a place in our literature is well worthy of consideration; and although this is a matter on which no one would care to pronounce hurriedly, we have no hesitation in saying that for a long time we have seen no volume of verse by a new writer which so distinctly impresses us as a work of genius."-Birmingham Daily Post.

"This rare discrimination between the conventional language of poetry and dramatic diction is in itself a surer promise of Mr. Lysaght's future than those passages of fancy and pathos whose beauties appeal to every reader."-Saturday Review.

An index commonly needs no preface, but it seems not unreasonable to explain why an alphabetical Encyclopædia is furnished with an alphabetical index. In smaller works of reference which partake of the nature of verbal lexicons no such thing is needed; but the plan of the ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA is to deal with subjects rather than words, and to discuss large subjects in a connected way, under general headings, so that the book may be used not only for occasional reference, but for systematic study. Many things, therefore, which a reader may wish to understand are explained, not under their own names, but in the course of a larger discussion, and those who desire to learn about them will find the explanation in its proper place by the aid of this index volume.

The Index volume also contains a complete list of those who have written articles for the Ninth Edition of the ENCYCLOPEDIA, with a key to the initial letters affixed to the longer contributions.

The ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA, Ninth Edition, will be complete in 24 Volumes, 4to., and Index, to be had bound in cloth extra, gilt top, price £37; or in half-morocco, price £45 6s. Also in half Levant morocco and tree calf.
