WALTNER, from designs by J. P. LAURENS and HENRY LEVY, printed on

"We have not seen a more beautiful edition of 'The Imitation of
Christ' than this one for many a day."
Magazine of Art.
"This new edition of the 'Imitation' may fairly be regarded as a work
of art. It is well and clearly printed; the paper is excellent; each
page has its peculiar border, and it is illustrated with fifteen
etchings. Further than that the translation is Mr. Benham's we need
say nothing more."
Second Edition, post 8vo, cloth elegant, gilt top, price 5s.
Carols and Poems.
FROM THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT TIME.
Edited by A. H. BULLEN, B.A.
NOTE.--120 copies printed on fine medium 8vo paper, with Seven
Illustrations on Japanese paper. Each copy numbered.
Saturday Review.
"Since the publication of Mr. Sandys's collection there have been
many books issued on carols, but the most complete by far that we
have met with is Mr. Bullen's new volume, 'Carols and Poems from
the Fifteenth Century to the Present Time.' The preface contains an
interesting account of Christmas festivities and the use of carols.
Mr. Bullen has exercised great care in verifying and correcting
the collections of his predecessors, and he has joined to them two
modern poems by Hawker, two by Mr. William Morris, and others by Mr.
Swinburne, Mr. Symonds, and Miss Rossetti. Altogether this is one of
the most welcome books of the season."
Two Very Funny and Humorously Illustrated Books by
A. B. FROST.
Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt top, with One Hundred Illustrations, price 5s.
RUDDER GRANGE. By FRANK R. STOCKTON.
=The Times.=--"Many of the smaller drawings are wonderfully spirited;
there are sketchy suggestions of scenery, which recall the pregnant
touches of Bewick; and the figures of animals and of human types
are capital, from the row of roosting fowls at the beginning of the
chapter to the dilapidated tramp standing hat in hand."
=Court and Society Review.=--"After looking at the pictures we
found ourselves reading the book again, and enjoying Pomona and
her reading, and her adventure with the lightning rodder, and her
dog-fight as much as ever. And to read it twice over is the greatest
compliment you can pay to a book of American humour."
=Art Journal.=--"Mr. Stockton, the author, and Mr. Frost, the artist,
have here gone hand in hand to produce the most humorous of stories
with the best results."
=Morning Post.=--"It will be welcomed in its new dress by many who
have already made the acquaintance of Euphemia and Pomona, as well as
by many who will now meet those excellent types of feminine character
for the first time."
