'The Soft Porcelain of Sèvres' is really an artistic production of the highest rank. No pains have Teen spared in rendering the work worthy of the subject. Lovers of this beautiful soft paste, which neither atience, nor diligent search, nor money can procure for them, for the reason that it is, so to speak, no longer be found, will in future, with the aid of this book, at least be able to enjoy the faithful reproduction of its arious forms. To manufacturers and artists who are interested in ceramics, and whose endeavour it is to revive for us the glories of the masterpieces of the past, this work will furnish a profusion of the most splendid odels of form and colour.

HEIMSKRING LA;

Or, THE SAGAS OF THE NORSE KINGS.

From the Icelandic of SNORRE STURLASON.

By SAMUEL LAING, Esq.

Revised, with Notes by RASMUS B. ANDERSON, LL.D.,
United States Minister to Denmark; Author of 'Norse Philology,' 'Viking Tales of the North,' and other Works.

NOTE. In his interesting little book, 'The Early Kings of Norway, the distinguished writer, Thomas Carlyle, says that Snorre Sturlason's 'HEIMSKRINGLA "deserves, were it once well edited, furnished with ccurate maps, chronological summaries, &c., to be reckoned among the great history-books of the world."

The present Editor and Reviser of Samuel Laing's translation does not hesitate to confess that he came › Copenhagen, not to teach others, but to learn himself; he came to the Athens of the North, not as a aster, but as a disciple, eager to sit at the feet of the great scholars of Scandinavia, in order that he might eturn to his native country with more knowledge of that weird North, from whose frozen rivers poured the ikings of the Middle Ages-with more knowledge of that grand old Scandinavia, which was destined to ecome the mother of England and the grandmother of America. How eminently fitting that the child nd the grandchild should listen to the words of wisdom that in times past have fallen from the lips of heir mother and grandmother! An acquaintance with the ancient runes, with the Eddas, with the Heimkringla, and with all the old saga-lore, should be the pride of every Englishman and American.

Of this New and Revised Edition the Publisher has only printed 520 copies in all for England nd America. Each copy is numbered, and the type has been distributed.

By ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON and LLOYD OSBOURNE.

This is a tontine story. It narrates how a nephew having met with a railway accident while in company w uncle, finds as he thinks his dead body, and packs it up and orders it to be sent to his home. Instead thereof, there a colossal statue of Hercules. The uncle, however, has not been killed, and has escaped altogether for the time nephew's ken; and the story turns on the tribulations of the nephew, who is alike unable to prove his uncle's existence, and the adventures of the body in the box, à la the Hunchback in the ' Arabian Nights.'

MESSRS. MACMILLAN & CO.'S NEW BOOKS.

DARWINISM.

A NEW BOOK BY MR. ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE.

An Exposition of the Theory of Natural Selection, with some of its Applic

tions. By ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE, LL.D. F.L.S., &c., Author of The Malay Archipelago,' 'The Geographical Distribution of Animals,'' Island Life,' &c. Crown The Saturday Review says:-" Thus the mass of intelligent people interested in the progress of science have either been sorely puzzled or have imbibed the most defective and error notions of what Darwinism really is. To correct these notions, to give a clear and simple exposition of what is the Darwinism of Darwin, is the task which Mr. Wallace has set hi and which he has accomplished with a success which probably no one else could attain. Mr. Wallace's peculiar relation to Darwinism specially fits him for the service he has perim his old friend and to the more thoughtful section of the reading public. It can never be forgotten that the two men, living on opposite sides of the world, quite unknown to ex and quite ignorant of each other's pursuits, propounded simultaneously a theory of the origin of species which was practically identical...... Mr. Wallace's volume may be taken as 15. exposition of what Darwin meant. It is written with perfect clearness, with a simple beauty and attractiveness of style not common to scientific works, with a dignity and freedom anything like personal bitterness worthy of Darwin himself, and with an orderliness and completeness that must render misconception impossible."
