Gladstone, J. H. (John Hall)
Faraday, Michael, 1791-1867
"_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.
POEMS; including The Saint's Tragedy, Andromeda, Songs, Ballads, etc.
Complete Collected Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 6_s._
_The SPECTATOR calls "Andromeda"_ "_the finest piece of English
hexameter verse that has ever been written. It is a volume which
many readers will be glad to possess._"
PROSE IDYLLS. NEW AND OLD. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 5_s._
CONTENTS:--_A Charm of Birds; Chalk-Stream Studies; The Fens; My
Winter-Garden; From Ocean to Sea; North Devon._
"_Altogether a delightful book.... It exhibits the author'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.

TALES OF OLD TRAVEL. Re-narrated. With Eight full-page Illustrations
by HUARD. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth, extra gilt. 5_s._
"_We know no better book for those who want knowledge or seek to

touchingly told._"--SATURDAY REVIEW.
OAKSHOTT CASTLE. 3 Vols. Crown 8vo. 31_s._ 6_d._
"_No one who takes up 'Oakshott Castle' will willingly put it down
until the last page is turned.... It may fairly be considered a
capital story, full of go, and abounding in word pictures of storms
and wrecks._"--OBSERVER.
=Knatchbull-Hugessen.=--Works by E. H. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN, M.P.:--
_Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen has won for himself a reputation as a
teller of fairy-tales._ "_His powers," says the TIMES, "are of a
very high order; light and brilliant narrative flows from his pen,
and is fed by an invention as graceful as it is inexhaustible._"
"_Children reading his stories," the SCOTSMAN says, "or hearing
them read, will have their minds refreshed and invigorated as much
as their bodies would be by abundance of fresh air and exercise._"
