This little manual (reprinted from early sheets of the English edition
by arrangement with the authors), intended not only for a text-book in
advanced schools and colleges, but for the general reader, will be found
to be an invaluable assistant to those acquiring a method of speaking
and writing the English language correctly. Prof. Seeley, the author of
"Ecce Homo," has the reputation of being one of the most perfect of
English scholars.

_From the Literary World._
"The first novel from the pen of one of the most popular poets of the
age--written, too, in the author's maturity, when her name is almost
exclusively associated with verse, so far as literature is concerned,
and therefore to be regarded as a deliberate work, and one in which she
challenges the decisive judgment of the public--will be read with
universal and eager interest.... We have read this book with constantly
increasing pleasure. It is a novel with a soul in it, that imparts to
the reader an influence superior to mere momentary entertainment; it is
not didactic, but it teaches; it is genuine, fresh, healthy, presents
cheerful views of life, and exalts nobility of character without seeming
to do so."
Extract from a private letter,--not intended for publication,--the
hearty opinion of one of the most popular and favorite writers of the
present day:--
