J. BEAVINGTON ATKINSON. 8vo. 12_s._
"_We can highly recommend it; not only for the valuable

Scotch Story--A Man's Story. Crown 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._
"_Lady Barker is endowed with a rare and delicate gift
for narrating stories,--she has the faculty of throwing
even into her printed narrative a soft and pleasant tone,
which goes far to make the reader think the subject or the
matter immaterial, so long as the author will go on telling
stories for his benefit._"--ATHENÆUM.
STORIES ABOUT:--With Six Illustrations. Third Edition.
Extra fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._

too._"--TIMES.
SYBIL'S BOOK. Illustrated by S. E. WALLER. Second Edition.
Globe 8vo. gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_Another of Lady Barker's delightful stories, and one of
the most thoroughly original books for girls that has been
written for many years. Grown-up readers will like it quite
as much as young people, and will even better understand
the rarity of such simple, natural, and unaffected
writing.... That no one can read the story without interest
is not its highest praise, for no one ought to be able to
lay it down without being the better girl or boy, or man or
woman, for the reading of it. Lady Barker has never turned
her fertile and fascinating pen to better account, and for
the sake of all readers we wish 'Sybil's Book's a wide
success._"--TIMES.

WALLER, 8vo. cloth gilt. 10_s._ 6_d._
"_The book is a really charming description of a thousand
English landscapes and of the emergencies and the fun and
the delight of a picnic journey through them by a party
determined to enjoy themselves, and as well matched as
the pair of horses which drew the phaeton they sat in.
The real charm and purpose of the book is its open-air
life among hills and dales._"--TIMES. "_The
great charm of Mr. Black's book is that there is nothing
hackneyed about it, nothing overdrawn,--all is bright and
lifelike._"--MORNING POST.
A PRINCESS OF THULE. Three vols. Sixth and cheaper Edition.
Crown 8vo. 6_s._
The SATURDAY REVIEW says:--"_A novel which is
both romantic and natural, which has much feeling, without
any touch of mawkishness, which goes deep into character
without any suggestion of painful analysis--this is a rare
gem to find amongst the debris of current literature,
and this, or nearly this, Mr. Black has given us in the
'Princess of Thule.'_" "_It has, for one thing, the great
charm of novelty.... There is a picturesqueness in all that
Mr. Black writes, but scarcely even in the 'Adventures
of a Phaeton' are there the freshness and sweetness and
perfect sense of natural beauty we find in this last
book._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE. "_A beautiful and
nearly perfect story._"--SPECTATOR.

"_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.

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._"

eloquent, and instructive._"--SPECTATOR.

New Edition. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
_Full of bright pictures of French life. The English
family, whose fortunes form the main drift of the story,
reside mostly in France, but there are also many English
characters and scenes of great interest. It is certainly
the work of a fresh, vigorous, and most interesting writer,
with a dash of sarcastic humour which is refreshing and
not too bitter._ "_We can send our readers to it with
confidence._"--SPECTATOR.
=Evans.=--BROTHER FABIAN'S MANUSCRIPT, AND OTHER POEMS. By

=Evans.=--THE CURSE OF IMMORTALITY. By A. EUBULE EVANS.
Crown 8vo. 6_s._
"_Never, probably, has the legend of the Wandering Jew
been more ably and poetically handled. The author writes
as a true poet, and with the skill of a true artist.
The plot of this remarkable drama is not only well
contrived, but worked out with a degree of simplicity and
truthful vigour altogether unusual in modern poetry. In
fact, since the date of Byron's 'Cain,' we can scarcely
recall any verse at once so terse, so powerful, and so
masterly._"--STANDARD.

"_A charming little book. For English readers, Mr.

thought._"--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

Author of "The Ramsgate Life-Boat," in _Macmillan's Magazine_.

much fulness of knowledge along with so much freshness of
perception and clearness of presentation._"

"_Miss Aitken's exquisite collection of Scottish Song is
so alluring, and suggests so many topics, that we find
it difficult to lay it down. The book is one that should
find a place in every library, we had almost said in every
pocket, and the summer tourist who wishes to carry with
him into the country a volume of genuine poetry, will find
it difficult to select one containing within so small a
compass so much of rarest value._"--SPECTATOR.
MACMILLAN'S GLOBE LIBRARY.
_Beautifully printed on toned paper and bound in cloth
extra, gilt edges, price_ 4_s._ 6_d._ _each; in cloth
plain_, 3_s._ 6_d._ _Also kept in a variety of calf and
morocco bindings at moderate prices._
BOOKS, Wordsworth says, are
"the spirit breathed
By dead men to their kind;"
and the aim of the publishers of the Globe Library has been to make
it possible for the universal kin of English-speaking men to hold
communion with the loftiest "spirits of the mighty dead;" to put
within the reach of all classes _complete_ and _accurate_ editions,
carefully and clearly printed upon the best paper, in a convenient
form, at a moderate price, of the works of the MASTER-MINDS OF
ENGLISH LITERATURE, and occasionally of foreign literature in an
attractive English dress.
The Editors, by their scholarship and special study of their authors,
are competent to afford every assistance to readers of all kinds: this
assistance is rendered by original biographies, glossaries of unusual
or obsolete words, and critical and explanatory notes.
The publishers hope, therefore, that these Globe Editions may prove
worthy of acceptance by all classes wherever the English Language is
spoken, and by their universal circulation justify their distinctive
epithet; while at the same time they spread and nourish a common
sympathy with nature's most "finely touched" spirits, and thus help a
little to "make the whole world kin."
_The_ SATURDAY REVIEW _says_: "_The Globe
Editions are admirable for their scholarly editing, their
typographical excellence, their compendious form, and
their cheapness._" _The_ BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW
_says_: "_In compendiousness, elegance, and scholarliness,
the Globe Editions of Messrs. Macmillan surpass any popular
series of our classics hitherto given to the public. As
near an approach to miniature perfection as has ever been
made._"
=Shakespeare's Complete Works.= Edited by W. G, CLARK, M.A., and
W. ALDIS WRIGHT, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, Editors
of the "Cambridge Shakespeare." With Glossary, pp. 1,075.
_The_ ATHENÆUM _says this edition is_ "_a marvel
of beauty, cheapness, and compactness.... For the busy
man, above all for the working student, this is the best
of all existing Shakespeares._" _And the_ PALL MALL
GAZETTE _observes_: "_To have produced the complete
works of the world's greatest poet in such a form, and at
a price within the reach of every one, is of itself almost
sufficient to give the publishers a claim to be considered
public benefactors._"
=Spenser's Complete Works.= Edited from the Original Editions and
Manuscripts, by R. MORRIS, with a Memoir by J. W. HALES, M.A.

noble a poet deserves._"--DAILY NEWS.
=Sir Walter Scott's Poetical Works.= Edited with a Biographical
and Critical Memoir by FRANCIS TURNER PALGRAVE, and copious
Notes, pp. xliii., 559.

should exclaim--'Why was there not such an edition of Scott
when I was a school-boy?'_"--GUARDIAN.

=Goldsmith's Miscellaneous Works.= Edited, with Biographical
Introduction, by Professor MASSON. pp. lx., 695.

literary biography in little._"--SCOTSMAN.
=Pope's Poetical Works.= Edited, with Notes and Introductory Memoir,
by ADOLPHUS WILLIAM WARD, M.A., Fellow of St. Peter's College,
Cambridge, and Professor of History in Owens College, Manchester.

own notes and introductory memoir are excellent, the memoir
alone would be cheap and well worth buying at the price of
the whole volume._"
=Dryden's Poetical Works.= Edited, with a Memoir, Revised Text,
and Notes, by W. D. CHRISTIE, M.A., of Trinity College,
Cambridge. pp. lxxxvii., 662.

of a careful revision of the text. The memoir prefixed
contains, within less than ninety pages, as much sound
criticism and as comprehensive a biography as the student
of Dryden need desire._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
=Cowper's Poetical Works.= Edited, with Notes and Biographical
Introduction, by WILLIAM BENHAM, Vicar of Addington and
Professor of Modern History in Queen's College, London.
pp. lxxiii., 536.
"_Mr. Benham's edition of Cowper is one of permanent
value. The biographical introduction is excellent,
full of information, singularly neat and readable and
modest--indeed too modest in its comments. The notes
are concise and accurate, and the editor has been able
to discover and introduce some hitherto unprinted
matter. Altogether the book is a very excellent
one._"--SATURDAY REVIEW.

before us._"--GLOBE.
=The Works Of Horace.= Rendered into English Prose, with
Introductions, Running Analysis, Notes, and Index. By JOHN
LONSDALE, M.A., and SAMUEL LEE, M.A.

interpretation of the mind and meaning of the poet,
enriched as it is with notes and dissertations of the
highest value in the way of criticism, illustration, and
explanation._"
