_This little volume consists of a number of poems, mostly
of a genuinely devotional character._ "_They are for the
most part so exquisitely sweet and delicate as to be quite
a marvel of composition. They are worthy of being laid up
in the recesses of the heart, and recalled to memory from
time to time._"--ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.
=Murray.=--THE BALLADS AND SONGS OF SCOTLAND, in View of their
Influence on the Character of the People. By J. CLARK MURRAY,
LL.D., Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy in McGill
College, Montreal. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
"_Independently of the lucidity of the style in which the
whole book is written, the selection of the examples alone
would recommend it to favour, while the geniality of the
criticism upon those examples cannot fail to make them
highly appreciated and valued._"--MORNING POST.
=Myers (Ernest).=--THE PURITANS. By ERNEST MYERS. Extra fcap.
8vo. cloth. 2_s._ 6_d._
"_It is not too much to call it a really grand
poem, stately and dignified, and showing not only a
high poetic mind, but also great power over poetic
expression._"--LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
=Myers (F. W. H.)=--POEMS. By F. W. H. MYERS. Containing "St. Paul,"
"St. John," and others. Extra fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_It is rare to find a writer who combines to such an
extent the faculty of communicating feelings with the
faculty of euphonious expression._"--SPECTATOR.
"_'St. Paul' stands without a rival as the noblest
religious poem which has been written in an age which
beyond any other has been prolific in this class of poetry.
The sublimest conceptions are expressed in language which,
for richness, taste, and purity, we have never seen
excelled._"--JOHN BULL.
=Nichol.=--HANNIBAL, A HISTORICAL DRAMA. By JOHN NICHOL, B.A. Oxon.,
Regius Professor of English Language and Literature in the
University of Glasgow. Extra fcap. 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._
"_The poem combines in no ordinary degree firmness and
workmanship. After the lapse of many centuries, an
English poet is found paying to the great Carthagenian
the worthiest poetical tribute which has as yet, to our
knowledge, been afforded to his noble and stainless
name._"--SATURDAY REVIEW.
=Nine Years Old.=--By the Author of "St. Olave's," "When I was
a Little Girl," &c. Illustrated by FRÖLICH. Third Edition.
Extra fcap. 8vo. cloth gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._
_It is believed that this story, by the favourably known
author of "St. Olave's," will be found both highly
interesting and instructive to the young. The volume
contains eight graphic illustrations by Mr. L. Frölich.
The_ EXAMINER _says_: "_Whether the readers are
nine years old, or twice, or seven times as old, they must
enjoy this pretty volume._"
