=Poole.=--PICTURES OF COTTAGE LIFE IN THE WEST OF ENGLAND. By MARGARET
E. POOLE. New and Cheaper Edition. With Frontispiece by R. Farren.
Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_Charming stories of peasant life, written in something of George
Eliot's style.... Her stories could not be other than they are, as
literal as truth, as romantic as fiction, full of pathetic touches
and strokes of genuine humour.... All the stories are studies of
actual life, executed with no mean art._"--TIMES.
=Population of an Old Pear Tree.= From the French of E. VAN BRUYSSEL.
Edited by the Author of "The Heir of Redclyffe." With Illustrations by
BECKER. Cheaper Edition. Crown 8vo. gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_This is not a regular book of natural history, but a description
of all the living creatures that came and went in a summer's
day beneath an old pear tree, observed by eyes that had for the
nonce become microscopic, recorded by a pen that finds dramas in
everything, and illustrated by a dainty pencil.... We can hardly
fancy anyone with a moderate turn for the curiosities of insect
life, or for delicate French esprit, not being taken by these
clever sketches._"--GUARDIAN. "_A whimsical and charming little
book._"--ATHENÆUM.
=Prince Florestan of Monaco, The Fall of.= By HIMSELF. New Edition,
with Illustration and Map. 8vo. cloth. Extra gilt edges, 5_s._ A French
Translation, 5_s._ Also an Edition for the People. Crown 8vo. 1_s._
"_Those who have read only the extracts given, will not need to be
told how amusing and happily touched it is. Those who read it for
other purposes than amusement can hardly miss the sober and sound
political lessons with which its light pages abound, and which
are as much needed in England as by the nation to whom the author
directly addresses his moral._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE. "_This little
book is very clever, wild with animal spirits, but showing plenty
of good sense, amid all the heedless nonsense which fills so many
of its pages._"--DAILY NEWS. "_In an age little remarkable for
powers of political satire, the sparkle of the pages gives them
every claim to welcome._"--STANDARD.

of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at Glasgow. With Illustrations.
