Turner.--SONNETS. By the Rev. CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER. Dedicated to his
brother, the Poet Laureate. Fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_The Sonnets are dedicated to Mr. Tennyson by his brother, and
have, independently of their merits, an interest of association. They
both love to write in simple expressive Saxon; both love to touch
their imagery in epithets rather than in formal similes; both have a
delicate perception of rhythmical movement, and thus Mr. Turner has
occasional lines which, for phrase and music, might be ascribed to his
brother.... He knows the_
_haunts of the wild rose, the shady nooks where light quivers
through the leaves, the ruralities, in short, of the land of
imagination._"--ATHENÆUM.
SMALL TABLEAUX. Fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_These brief poems have not only a peculiar kind of interest for
the student of English poetry, but are intrinsically delightful,
and will reward a careful and frequent perusal. Full of naïvete,
piety, love, and knowledge of natural objects, and each expressing a
single and generally a simple subject by means of minute and original
pictorial touches, these sonnets have a place of their own._"--PALL
MALL GAZETTE.
Vittoria Colonna.--LIFE AND POEMS. By Mrs. HENRY ROSCOE. Crown 8vo.
9_s._
_The life of Vittoria Colonna, the celebrated Marchesa di Pescara,
has received but cursory notice from any English writer, though in
every history of Italy her name is mentioned with great honour among
the poets of the sixteenth century. "In three hundred and fifty
years," says her biographer, Visconti, "there has been no other
Italian lady who can be compared to her."_
"_It is written with good taste, with quick and intelligent
sympathy, occasionally with a real freshness and charm of
style._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
Webster.--Works by AUGUSTA WEBSTER:--
"_If Mrs. Webster only remains true to herself, she will

done._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

PROMETHEUS BOUND OF ÆSCHYLUS. Literally translated into English Verse.
Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_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.
