become a classic._"--NONCONFORMIST.

"_The dialogue of 'Phaethon' has striking beauties, and its
suggestions may meet half-way many a latent doubt, and,
like a light breeze, lift from the soul clouds that are
gathering heavily, and threatening to settle down in misty
gloom on the summer of many a fair and promising young
life._"--SPECTATOR.

etc. Complete Collected Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 6_s._

best traits, and cannot fail to infect the reader with a
love of nature and of out-door life and its enjoyments.
It is well calculated to bring a gleam of summer with its
pleasant associations, into the bleak winter-time; while
a better companion for a summer ramble could hardly be
found._"--BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.
