Kavanaghs' Pearl Fountain,

And other Fairy Stories. By BRIDGET and JULIA KAVANAGH.
With Thirty Illustrations by J. MOYR SMITH.

"Genuine new fairy stories of the old type, some of them as delightful as the best of Grimm's German Popular Stories. For the most part, the stories are downright, thorough-going fairy stories of the most aamirable kind. Mr. Moyr Smith's illustrations, too, are admirable. Look at that white rabbit. Anyone would see at the first glance that he is a rabbit with a mind, and a very uncommon mind too-that he is a fairy rabbit, and that he is posing as chief adviser to some one-without reading even a word of the story. Again, notice the fairy-like effect of the little picture of the fairy-bird 'Don'tforget-me, flying away back into fairy-land. A more perfectly dream-like impression of fairy-land has hardly been given in any illustration of fairy tales within our knowledge."-Spectator.

Lamont's Yachting in the Arctic Seas;

or, Notes of Five Voyages of Sport and Discovery in the Neighbourhood of Spitzbergen and Novaya Zemlya. By JAMES LAMONT, F.R.G.S. With numerous full-page Illustrations by Dr. LIVESAY. “After wading through numberless volumes of icy fiction, concocted narrative, and spurious biography of Arctic voyagers, it is pleasant to meet with a real and genuine volume. He shows much tact in recounting his adventures, and they are so interspersed with anecdotes and information as to make them anything but wearisome. The book, as a whole, is the most important addition

made to our Arctic literature for a long time."-ATHENÆUM.

Longfellow's Poetical Works.

Carefully Reprinted from the Original Editions. With numerous fine Illustrations on Steel and Wood.

"Mr. Longfellow has for many years been the best known and the most read of American poets; and his popularity is of the right kind, and rightly and fairly won. He has not stooped to catch attention by artifice, nor striven to force it by violence. His works have faced the test of parody and burlesque (which in these days is almost the common lot of writings of any mark), and have come off unharmed."-SATURDAY REVIEW.

"A book to be read. There is a certain freshness and novelty about it, a practically romantic character, so to speak, which will make it very attractive."SPECTATOR.

Marston's (Dr. Westland) Dramatic

and Poetical Works. Collected Library Edition.

"The Patrician's Daughter' is an oasis in the desert of modern dramatic literature, a real emanation of mind. We do not recollect any modern work in which states of thought are so freely developed, except the Torquato Tasso of Goethe. The play is a work of art in the same sense that a play of Sophocles is a work of art; it is one simple idea in a state of gradual development Favourite of Fortune' is one of the most important additions to the stock of English prose comedy that has been made during the present century."-TIMES.

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 6s., a New and Cheaper Edition of

The New Republic;

or, Culture, Faith, and Philosophy in an English Country House. By W. H. MALLOCK.

"The great charm of the book lies in the clever and artistic way the dialogue is managed, and the diverse and various expedients by which, whilst the love of thought on every page is kept at a high pitch, it never loses its realistic aspect.

It is giving high praise to a work of this sort to say that it absolutely needs to be taken as a whole, and that disjointed extracts here and there would entirely fail to convey any idea of the artistic unity, the careful and conscientious sequence of what is evidently the brilliant outcome of much patient thought and study. Enough has now been said to recommend these volumes to any reader who desires something above the usual novel, something which will open up lanes of thought in his own mind, and insensibly introduce a higher standard into his daily life. Here is novelty indeed, as well as originality, and to anyone who can appreciate or understand The New Republic, it cannot fail to be a rare treat."-Observer.

MOORE'S HITHERTO UNCOLLECTED WRITINGS.
Crown Svo, cloth extra, with Frontispiece, 9s.

Prose and Verse-Humorous, Satirical,

and Sentimental-by THOMAS MOORE. Chiefly from the Author's MSS., and all hitherto Inedited and Uncollected. Edited, with Notes, by RICHARD HERNE SHEPHERD.

"This volume is mainly derived from manuscript sources, and consists entirely of inedited and uncollected pieces in prose and verse. The Note Books and Common-place Books of Thomas Moore, together with a large mass of correspondence and the original draughts and manuscripts of his principal writings, have been for some time in the possession of the present publishers, and were found on examination to yield so much matter of permanent literary interest, that it was thought advisable to place them beyond reach or chance of loss in case of the future dispersion of these autographs. No piece, either in prose or verse, appears in this volume, which has already appeared in any of the editions of his collected works."
