"_Its sparkling pleasantness, its drollery, its shrewdness,
the charming little bits of character which frequently
come in, its easy liveliness, and a certain chattiness
which, while it is never vulgar, brings the writer very
near, and makes one feel as if the story were being told in
lazy confidence in an hour of idleness by a man who, while
thoroughly good-natured, is strongly humorous, and has an
ever-present perception of the absurdities of people and
things._"--SPECTATOR.
=Dante.=--DANTE'S COMEDY, THE HELL. Translated by W. M. ROSSETTI.
Fcap. 8vo. cloth. 5_s._
"_The aim of this translation of Dante may be summed up
in one word--Literality. To follow Dante sentence for
sentence, line for line, word for word--neither more nor
less, has been my strenuous endeavour._"--AUTHOR'S
PREFACE.
=Days of Old=; STORIES FROM OLD ENGLISH HISTORY. By the Author of
"Ruth and her Friends." New Edition. 18mo. cloth, extra.
2_s._ 6_d._
"_Full of truthful and charming historic pictures, is
everywhere vital with moral and religious principles, and
is written with a brightness of description, and with a
dramatic force in the representation of character, that
have made, and will always make, it one of the greatest
favourites with reading boys._"--NONCONFORMIST.
=Deane.=--MARJORY. By MILLY DEANE. Third Edition. With Frontispiece
and Vignette. Crown 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
_The_ TIMES _of September 11th says it is_ "_A
very touching story, full of promise for the after career
of the authoress. It is so tenderly drawn, and so full of
life and grace, that any attempt to analyse or describe it
falls sadly short of the original. We will venture to say
that few readers of any natural feeling or sensibility will
take up 'Marjory' without reading it through at a sitting,
and we hope we shall see more stories by the same hand._"
_The_ MORNING POST _calls it_ "_A deliciously
fresh and charming little love story._"
=De Vere.=--THE INFANT BRIDAL, and other Poems. By AUBREY DE VERE.
Fcap. 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._
"_Mr. De Vere has taken his place among the poets of the
day. Pure and tender feeling, and that polished restraint
of style which is called classical, are the charms of the
volume._"--SPECTATOR.
=Doyle (Sir F. H.)=--LECTURES ON POETRY, delivered before the
University of Oxford in 1868. By Sir FRANCIS HASTINGS DOYLE,
Professor of Poetry in the University of Oxford. Crown 8vo.
3_s._ 6_d._
"_Full of thoughtful discrimination and fine insight: the
lecture on 'Provincial Poetry' seems to us singularly true,
eloquent, and instructive._"--SPECTATOR.
=Estelle Russell.=--By the Author of "The Private Life of Galileo."
New Edition. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
