_TONY BUTLER._
Originally published in 'Blackwood's Magazine.' 3 vols. post 8vo,
£1, 11s. 6d.
_THE BOOK-HUNTER, ETC._
By JOHN HILL BURTON. New Edition. In Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.
"A book pleasant to look at and pleasant to read--pleasant from its rich
store of anecdote, its geniality, and its humour, even to persons who
care little for the subjects of which it treats, but beyond measure
delightful to those who are in any degree members of the above-mentioned
fraternity."--_Saturday Review._
"We have not been more amused for a long time: and every reader who
takes interest in typography and its consequences will say the same, if
he will begin to read; beginning, he will finish, and be sorry when it
is over."--_Athenæum._
"Mr Burton has now given us a pleasant book, full of quaint anecdote,
and of a lively bookish talk. There is a quiet humour in it which is
very taking, and there is a curious knowledge of books which is really
very sound."--_Examiner._
_HOMER AND HIS TRANSLATORS_,
And the Greek Drama. By PROFESSOR WILSON. Crown 8vo, 6s.
"But of all the criticisms on Homer which I have ever had the good
fortune to read, in our own or any language, the most vivid and entirely
genial are those found in the 'Essays, Critical and Imaginative,' of the
late Professor Wilson."--_Mr Gladstone's Studies on Homer._
_THE SKETCHER._
By the REV. JOHN EAGLES. Originally published in 'Blackwood's
Magazine.' 8vo, 10s. 6d.
"This volume, called by the appropriate name of 'The Sketcher,' is one
that ought to be found in the studio of every English
landscape-painter.... More instructive and suggestive readings for young
artists, especially landscape-painters, can scarcely be found."--_The
Globe._
