"_A very remarkable memoir of the several great schools
of painting, and a singularly lucid exhibition of the
principal treasures of all the chief and some of the
smaller picture galleries of Europe. This unpretending
book which does so much for the history of art is also
a traveller's guide-book; a guide-book, moreover, so
convenient in arrangement and comprehensive in design
that it will not fail to become the companion of the
majority of English tourists.... The large crowd of
ordinary connoisseurs who only care to know a little about
pictures, and the choicer body of intelligent students of
all artistic objects that fall in their way, will extol
the compact little volume as the model of what an art
explorer's_ vade mecum _should be. It will also be found
in the highest degree serviceable to the more learned
connoisseurs and erudite authorities on the matter of
art._"--MORNING POST.

MACMILLAN'S GLOBE LIBRARY.
_Beautifully printed on toned paper and bound in cloth
extra, gilt edges, price 4s. 6d. each; in cloth plain, 3s.
6d. 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._"

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._"

=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. pp. lii., 508.
_The_ LITERARY CHURCHMAN _remarks_: "_The editor's
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.
"_An admirable edition, the result of great research and
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.
=Morte d'Arthur.=--SIR THOMAS MALORY'S BOOK OF KING ARTHUR AND
OF HIS NOBLE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE. The original Edition

"_It is with perfect confidence that we recommend
this edition of the old romance to every class of
readers._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
=The Works of Virgil.= Rendered into English Prose, with

LONSDALE, M.A., late Fellow and Tutor of Balliol College, Oxford,
and Classical Professor in King's College, London; and SAMUEL
LEE, M.A., Latin Lecturer at University College, London, pp. 288.
"_A more complete edition of Virgil in English it is
scarcely possible to conceive than the scholarly work
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.
_The_ STANDARD _says_, "_To classical and
non-classical readers it will be invaluable as a faithful
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._"
=Milton's Poetical Works.=--Edited with Introductions by Professor
MASSON.
"_A worthy addition to a valuable
series._"--ATHENÆUM.
