_This volume is called a "Household Book," by this name implying that it
is a book for all_--_that there is nothing in it to prevent it from being
confidently placed in the hands of every member of the household.
Specimens of all classes of poetry are given, including selections from
living authors. The Editor has aimed to produce a book "which the
emigrant, finding room for little not absolutely necessary, might yet find
room for in his trunk, and the traveller in his knapsack, and that on some
narrow shelves where there are few books this might be one_."
"_The Archbishop has conferred in this delightful volume an important gift
on the whole English-speaking population of the world_."--_Pall Mall
Gazette_.
SACRED LATIN POETRY, Chiefly Lyrical. Selected and arranged for Use.
Second Edition, Corrected and Improved. Fcap. 8vo. 7_s_.
"_The aim of the present volume is to offer to members of our English
Church a collection of the best sacred Latin poetry, such as they shall be
able entirely and heartily to accept and approve_--_a collection, that is,
in which they shall not be evermore liable to be offended, and to have the
current of their sympathies checked, by coming upon that which, however
beautiful as poetry, out of higher respects they must reject and
condemn_--_in which, too, they shall not fear that snares are being laid
for them, to entangle them unawares in admiration for ought which is
inconsistent with their faith and fealty to their own spiritual
mother_."--_Preface_.

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
rythmical 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_"--_Atheneum_.
SMALL TABLEAUX. Fcap. 8vo. 4_s. 6d_.
"_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 naiveté, 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_.
