"_The most splendid, and at the same time the most really
meritorious of the books specially intended for children,
that we have seen._"--SPECTATOR. "_These large
bright pictures will attract children to really good
and honest artistic work, and that ought not to be an
indifferent consideration with parents who propose to
educate their children._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
MORES RIDICULI. Old Nursery Rhymes. Illustrated in
Colours, with Ornamental Cover. Crown 4to. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_These world-old rhymes have never had and need never
wish for a better pictorial setting than Mr. Rogers
has given them._"--TIMES. "_Nothing could be
quainter or more absurdly comical than most of the
pictures, which are all carefully executed and beautifully
coloured._"--GLOBE.
=Rossetti.=--GOBLIN MARKET, AND OTHER POEMS. By CHRISTINA ROSSETTI.
With two Designs by D. G. ROSSETTI. Second Edition. Fcap. 8vo.
5_s._
"_She handles her little marvel with that rare poetic
discrimination which neither exhausts it of its simple
wonders by pushing symbolism too far, nor keeps those
wonders in the merely fabulous and capricious stage. In
fact, she has produced a true children's poem, which is far
more delightful to the mature than to children, though it
would be delightful to all._"--SPECTATOR.
=Runaway (The).= A Story for the Young. By the Author of "Mrs.
Jerningham's Journal." With Illustrations by J. LAWSON. Globe
8vo. gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_This is one of the best, if not indeed the very best, of
all the stories that has come before us this Christmas. The
heroines are both charming, and, unlike heroines, they
are as full of fun as of charms. It is an admirable book
to read aloud to the young folk when they are all gathered
round the fire, and nurses and other apparitions are still
far away._"--SATURDAY REVIEW.
=Ruth and her Friends.= A Story for Girls. With a Frontispiece.
Fourth Edition. 18mo. Cloth extra. 2_s._ 6_d._
"_We wish all the school girls and home-taught
girls in the land had the opportunity of reading
it._"--NONCONFORMIST.
=Scouring of the White Horse; or, the Long Vacation Ramble of a
London Clerk.= Illustrated by DOYLE. Imp. 16mo. Cheaper
Issue. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_A glorious tale of summer joy._"--FREEMAN.
"_There is a genial hearty life about the book._"--JOHN
BULL. "_The execution is excellent.... Like 'Tom
Brown's School Days,' the 'White Horse' gives the reader
a feeling of gratitude and personal esteem towards the
author._"--SATURDAY REVIEW.
=Shairp (Principal).=--KILMAHOE, a Highland Pastoral, with other
Poems. By JOHN CAMPBELL SHAIRP, Principal of the United
College, St. Andrews. Fcap. 8vo. 5_s._
