CHATTO & WINDUS'S LIST OF BOOKS.

Imperial 8vo, with 147 fine Engravings, half-morocco, 36s. THE EARLY TEUTONIC, ITALIAN,

AND FRENCH MASTERS.

Translated and Edited from the Dohme Series by A. H. KEANF, M.A.I. With numerous Illustrations.

"Cannot fail to be of the utmost use to students of art history."-TIMES. Second Edition, Revised, Crown 8vo, 1,200 pages, half-roxburghe, 12s. 6d. THE READER'S HANDBOOK

OF ALLUSIONS, REFERENCES, PLOTS, AND STORIES. By the Rev. Dr. BREWER.

"Dr. Brewer has produced a wonderfully comprehensive dictionary of references to matters which are always cropping up in conversation and in everyday life, and writers generally will have reasm to feel grateful to the author for a most handy volume, supplementing in a hundred ways their own knowledge or ignorance, as the case may be. It is something more than a mere dictionary of quotations, though a most useful companion to any work of that kind, being a dictionary of most of the allusions, references, plots, stories, and characters which occur in the classical poems, plays, novels, romances, &c., not only of our own country, but of most nations, ancient and modern."-TIMES.

"A welcome addition to the list of what may be termed the really handy reference-books, combining as it does a dictionary of literature with a condensed encyclopædia, interspersed with items one usually looks for in commonplace books. The appendices contain the dates of celebrated and well-known dramas, operas, poems, and novels, with the names of their authors."-SPECTATOR.

"Meets a want which every one, even of the thoroughly educated class, must often have felt. It would require a colossal memory indeed to dispense with Dr. Brewer's volume. The author of The Guide to Science' has gained a reputation for thoroughness and a glance at The Reader's Handbook' will convince anyone that he has skimmed off the cream of many hundreds of volumes. Such a mass of the rare and recondite was surely never before got together in a single volume."-GRAPHIC.

"There seems to be scarcely anything concerning which one may not overhaul' Dr. Brewer's book with profit. It is a most laborious and patient compilation, and, considering the magnitude of the work, successfully performed. Many queries which appear in our pages could be satisfactorily answered by a reference to The Reader's Handbook: no mean testimony to the value of Dr. Brewer's book."-NOTES AND QUERIES.
