"It is pleasantly written, is full of the fun of student life, full, too, of its hardships, abounds with excellent stories, is very discriminating in professional criticism, while scattered throughout the racy pages are many snatches of jovial college songs recorded nowhere else.... Altogether the volume is very readable, and no student, at all events, can find a dull page in it."--_Kelso Chronicle._ _THE TRAGEDY OF GOWRIE HOUSE._ An Historical Study. By LOUIS A. BARBÉ. Fcap. 4to, 6s. In this new work on the interesting and mysterious episode of Scottish History, usually known as the Gowrie Conspiracy, the author has not only submitted the old materials to a close examination, but also thrown new light on the subject by the help of letters to be found in the Record Office, but overlooked or suppressed by former historians, of documents recently discovered by the Commission on Historical MSS., and also of important papers preserved in the French Archives. "_A treasure of almost priceless thought and criticism._"--_Contemporary Review._ In the press. Second Edition, Thoroughly Revised. Cr. 8vo, 338 pp., 7s. 6d. WIT, WISDOM, AND PATHOS, FROM THE PROSE OF HEINRICH HEINE. _WITH A FEW PIECES FROM THE "BOOK OF SONGS."_ SELECTED AND TRANSLATED BY J. SNODGRASS. "Mr. Snodgrass has produced a book in which lazy people will find a great deal to please them. They can take it up at any moment, and open it on any page with the certainty of finding some bright epigram; they need not turn down the page on shutting up the volume, as it matters little where they resume. There is nothing jarring in the whole book."--_Athenæum, April 19, 1877._ "No Englishman of culture who is unacquainted with Heine can fail to derive a new intellectual pleasure from Mr. Snodgrass's pages."--_Contemporary Review, September 1880._ "Mr. Snodgrass would appear to have saturated himself with Heine literature, to have so caught Heine's mode of thought and his turns of expression--quaint, droll, swift, and scathing by turns--that the translator would appear to have had no more difficulty in presenting Heine as he was to the reader than he would have in presenting his own thoughts."--_Glasgow Herald, March 31, 1879._ "Mr. Snodgrass, in his 'Wit,' &c., has dime a great service in this respect, presenting as it were a full-length miniature of the man, clear and effective, wherein his characteristic expression is faithfully caught and where, if we look carefully, we can see him as he really was, for he is made to paint his own portrait."--_British Quarterly Review, October 1881._ "Mr. Snodgrass has certainly done great service to English literature in presenting us with a compact little volume like that before us."--_Spectator._
