"_The readers of 'Christina North' are not likely to have
forgotten that bright, fresh, picturesque story, nor
will they be slow to welcome so pleasant a companion to
it as this. It abounds in happy touches of description,
of pathos, and insight into the life and passion of true
love._"--STANDARD. "_One of the prettiest and best
told stories which it has been our good fortune to read for
a long time._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
=Vittoria Colonna.=--LIFE AND POEMS. By MRS. HENRY ROSCOE. Crown
8vo. 9_s._
"_It is written with good taste, with quick and intelligent
sympathy, occasionally with a real freshness and charm of
style._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
=Waller.=--SIX WEEKS IN THE SADDLE: A Painter's Journal in Iceland.
By S. E. WALLER. Illustrated by the Author. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
"_An exceedingly pleasant and naturally written little
book.... Mr. Waller has a clever pencil, and the text is
well illustrated with his own sketches._"--TIMES.
=Wandering Willie.= By the Author of "Effie's Friends," and "John
Hatherton." Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
"_This is an idyll of rare truth and beauty.... The
story is simple and touching, the style of extraordinary
delicacy, precision, and picturesqueness.... A charming
gift-book for young ladies not yet promoted to novels, and
will amply repay those of their elders who may give an hour
to its perusal._"--DAILY NEWS.
=Webster.=--Works by AUGUSTA WEBSTER:--
"_If Mrs. Webster only remains true to herself, she will
assuredly take a higher rank as a poet than any woman has
yet done._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
DRAMATIC STUDIES. Extra fcap. 8vo. 5_s._
"_A volume as strongly marked by perfect taste as by poetic
power._"--NONCONFORMIST.
A WOMAN SOLD, AND OTHER POEMS. Crown 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._
"_Mrs. Webster has shown us that she is able to draw
admirably from the life; that she can observe with
subtlety, and render her observations with delicacy;
that she can impersonate complex conceptions and
venture into which few living writers can follow
her._"--GUARDIAN.
PORTRAITS. Second Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_Mrs. Webster's poems exhibit simplicity and tenderness
... her taste is perfect.... This simplicity is combined
with a subtlety of thought, feeling, and observation which
demand that attention which only real lovers of poetry are
apt to bestow._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

English Verse. Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
