"_Closeness and simplicity combined with literary
skill._"--ATHENÆUM. "_Mrs. Webster's 'Dramatic
Studies' and 'Translation of Prometheus' have won for her
an honourable place among our female poets. She writes
with remarkable vigour and dramatic realization, and bids
fair to be the most successful claimant of Mrs. Browning's
mantle._"--BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.
MEDEA OF EURIPIDES. Literally translated into English Verse.
Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_Mrs. Webster's translation surpasses our utmost
expectations. It is a photograph of the original without
any of that harshness which so often accompanies a
photograph._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
THE AUSPICIOUS DAY. A Dramatic Poem. Extra fcap. 8vo. 5_s._
"_The 'Auspicious Day' shows a marked advance, not only in
art, but, in what is of far more importance, in breadth
of thought and intellectual grasp._"--WESTMINSTER
REVIEW. "_This drama is a manifestation of high
dramatic power on the part of the gifted writer, and
entitled to our warmest admiration, as a worthy piece of
work._"--STANDARD.
YU-PE-YA'S LUTE. A Chinese Tale in English Verse. Extra
fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_A very charming tale, charmingly told in
dainty verse, with occasional lyrics of tender
beauty._"--STANDARD. "_We close the book with the
renewed conviction that in Mrs. Webster we have a profound
and original poet. The book is marked not by mere sweetness
of melody--rare as that gift is--but by the infinitely
rarer gifts of dramatic power, of passion, and sympathetic
insight._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
=When I was a Little Girl.= STORIES FOR CHILDREN. By the Author
of "St. Olave's." Fourth Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
With Eight Illustrations by L. FRÖLICH.
"_At the head, and a long way ahead, of all
books for girls, we place 'When I was a Little
Girl.'_"--TIMES. "_It is one of the choicest
morsels of child-biography which we have met
with._"--NONCONFORMIST.

=Whittier.=--JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER'S POETICAL WORKS. Complete
Edition, with Portrait engraved by C. H. JEENS. 18mo. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_Mr. Whittier has all the smooth melody and the pathos
of the author of 'Hiawatha,' with a greater nicety of
description and a quainter fancy._"--GRAPHIC.
=Wolf.=--THE LIFE AND HABITS OF WILD ANIMALS. Twenty Illustrations by
JOSEPH WOLF, engraved by J. W. and E. WHYMPER. With descriptive
Letter-press, by D. G. ELLIOT, F.L.S. Super royal 4to, cloth
