The Publishers are unable to state the exact periods at which their
MISCELLANY OF FOREIGN LITERATURE will appear, but they believe that
the number of volumes issued during the first year will not exceed
_six_; so that taking the average price per volume as _Three Shillings
and Sixpence_, the cost to Subscribers would not exceed _One Guinea_;
while, by the addition of a _special_ title-page for each work issued,
those persons who may wish to select an occasional publication will be
saved the awkwardness of placing in their library a volume or volumes
evidently detached from a continuous Series.

AND ALL BOOKSELLERS.
Constable's Miscellany of Foreign Literature.
Already published, Vol. I., price 3s. 6d.,
HUNGARIAN SKETCHES IN PEACE AND WAR. By MORITZ JOKAI.
"Jokai is a highly popular Hungarian author, and this is the finest
specimen of his works that has appeared in English."--_Athenæum._
"Most vivid and truthful descriptions of Hungarian life."--_Leader._
"The _Chef d'œuvre_ of one of the most popular writers of fiction
in Hungary. The volume contains delineations of Hungarian life
among the middle class, nobility, and even the Hungarian peasant,
who is no less attractive in his way, is painted with faithful
accuracy."--_Britannia._
Vol. II., price 2s. 6d.,
ATHENS AND THE PELOPONNESE, with SKETCHES OF NORTHERN GREECE. By
HERMANN HETTNER.
"Hettner is a scholar, an historian, an archaeologist, and an artist,
and in a series of letters, or pages from a Diary, written in 1852,
he tells us a sad story, in flowing and elegant language, and with an
enthusiasm which proves his relish for the work."--_Globe._
"Everywhere he shews himself to be an accomplished scholar and true
artist, as well as an able writer. A more readable or instructive
volume of Travels in Greece we have never seen."--_Morning Post._
"The work of a most able and thoughtful man."--_Examiner._
"If the 'Miscellany of Foreign Literature' contains a succession of
volumes of the kind and quality of those with which it has commenced,
it will prove a welcome addition to many a library."--_Literary
Gazette._
Vol. III., price 3s. 6d.,
TALES OF FLEMISH LIFE. By HENDRIK CONSCIENCE.
"We shall look with a new curiosity at those fine old Flemish towns
when next we visit them, and perhaps rest there for a day or two,
inspired by the memories of the delightful book before us--a book which
is to be enjoyed most by the Christmas fire, and which should be read
aloud to the family circle, whom it will entrance while it is heard and
improve when it is remembered."--_Critic._
