_HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY._
=THE NORMAN PEOPLE=, AND THEIR EXISTING DESCENDANTS IN THE BRITISH
DOMINIONS AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. One handsome vol. 8vo. Price
21s. [_In the Press._
This work is the result of many years of research into the
history of the Norman race in England. It is generally supposed
to have become extinct; but careful study has shown that it
exists and forms a large part of the English people. In the
course of the work the early history of the whole aristocracy
is revised, reconstructed, and very many thousands of families
are shown to be Norman which have never before been accounted
for.

“But there is a high tone about them, a love of justice, of
truth and integrity, a sense of honour and manliness, and a
simple devotion to religious duty, which however mistaken
according to our lights, is deserving of every respect. The
translation is the work of a lady, and a very excellent and
scholar-like translation it is, clearly and pleasantly written,
and illustrated and explained by copious notes, indicating
considerable learning and research.”—_Saturday Review._
“Those who like stories full of the genuine colour and
fragrance of the East, should by all means read Mrs. Godfrey
Clerk’s volume.”—_Spectator._

“The book has a genuine historical value.”—_Saturday Review._
“The present volume gives us conversations with some
of the most prominent men in the political history of
France and Italy.... Mr. Senior has the art of inspiring
all men with frankness, and of persuading them to put
themselves unreservedly in his hands without fear of private
circulation.”—_Athenæum._
“No better, more honest, and more readable view of the state of
political society during the existence of the second Republic

Corrected.

subtle, and concise criticisms on authors of every sort and
time—poets, moralists, historians, and philosophers. Sara
Coleridge, as she is revealed, or rather reveals herself, in
the correspondence, makes a brilliant addition to a brilliant
family reputation.”—_Saturday Review._
“These charming volumes are attractive in two ways: first, as a
memorial of a most amiable woman of high intellectual mark; and
secondly, as rekindling recollections, and adding a little to
our information regarding the life of Sara Coleridge’s father,
the poet and philosopher.”—_Athenæum._

fascinating of novelists.”—_Saturday Review._

appreciative delineation of character than this Memoir of
Hawthorne.”—_Morning Post._

Several chapters devoted to the characteristics of the people

deserves the heartiest commendation ... sparkling and amusing
from beginning to end. Reading it is like rambling about with
a companion who is content to loiter, observing everything,
commenting upon everything, turning everything into a picture,
with a cheerful flow of spirits, full of fun, but far above
frivolity.”—_Spectator._
“He writes very lightly and pleasantly, and brightens his pages
with a good deal of humour. His experiences were varied enough,

in sport or natural history.”—_Athenæum._
“The descriptions are clear and full of interest, while the
book is prevented from degenerating into a mere scientific
catalogue by many graphic sketches of the rambles.”—_John Bull._
“To the naturalist the book will be most valuable.... To the
general reader the book will prove most interesting, for the
style is pleasant and chatty, and the information given is
so graphic and full, that those who care nothing for natural
history as a pursuit will yet read these descriptions with
great interest.”—_Evening Standard._
“Both sportsmen and naturalists will find this work replete
with anecdote and carefully-recorded observation, which will
entertain them.”—_Nature._
=TENT LIFE WITH ENGLISH GIPSIES IN NORWAY.= By =Hubert Smith=. In 8vo,
cloth. Five full-page Engravings, and 31 smaller Illustrations, with Map
of the Country showing Routes. Price 21s.

with Norway, let them read this book. The gypsies, always an
interesting study, become doubly interesting, when we are, as
in these pages, introduced to them in their daily walk and
conversation.”—_Examiner._

dry humour and satiric reflection which shows the writer to be
a keen observer of men and things. We hope that many will read

“Vivacious and interesting.”—_Scotsman._
“Open the book, however, at what page the reader may, he will
find something to amuse and instruct, and he must be very hard
to please if he finds nothing to suit him, either grave or gay,
stirring or romantic, in the capital stories collected in this
well-got-up volume.”—_John Bull._
=SHORT LECTURES ON THE LAND LAWS.= Delivered before the Working Men’s

“A very handy and intelligible epitome of the general
principles of existing land laws.”—_Standard._

present land laws which govern our country. These Lectures
possess the advantage of not being loaded with superfluous
matter.”—_Civil Service Gazette._
=AN ESSAY ON THE CULTURE OF THE OBSERVING POWERS OF CHILDREN=, especially

with Notes and a Supplement, by =Joseph Payne, F.C.P.=, Author of
“Lectures on the Science and Art of Education,” &c. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“This study, according to her just notions on the subject, is
to be fundamentally based on the exercise of the pupil’s own
powers of observation. He is to see and examine the properties
of plants and flowers at first hand, not merely to be informed
of what others have seen and examined.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

part of the English Constitution really is.”—_Pall Mall

the United States. Including a Correspondence with M. Louis Blanc. By
=Moncure D. Conway=. Crown 8vo. 5s.
“A very able exposure of the most plausible fallacies of
Republicanism, by a writer of remarkable vigour and purity of
style.”—_Standard._
“Mr. Conway writes with ardent sincerity. He gives us some good
anecdotes, and he is occasionally almost eloquent.”—_Guardian_,
July 2, 1873.
=STREAMS FROM HIDDEN SOURCES.= By =B. Montgomerie Ranking=. Crown 8vo. 6s.
“In point of style it is well executed, and the prefatory
notices are very good.”—_Spectator._
“The effect of reading the seven tales he presents to us is to
make us wish for some seven more of the same kind.”—_Pall Mall
Gazette._
“The tales are given throughout in the quaint version of the
earliest English translators, and in the introduction to each
will be found much curious information as to their origin, and
the fate which they have met at the hands of later transcribers
or imitators, and much tasteful appreciation of the varied
sources from whence they are extracted.... We doubt not that
Mr. Ranking’s enthusiasm will communicate itself to many of his
readers, and induce them in like manner to follow back these
streamlets to their parent river.”—_Graphic._
_MILITARY WORKS._
=THE GERMAN ARTILLERY IN THE BATTLES NEAR METZ.= Based on the official
reports of the German Artillery. By =Captain Hoffbauer=, Instructor in
the German Artillery and Engineer School. Translated by =Capt. E. O.
Hollist=.
This history gives a detailed account of the movements of the
German artillery in the three days’ fighting to the east and
west of Metz, which resulted in paralyzing the army under
Marshal Bazaine, and its subsequent surrender. The action of
the batteries with reference to the other arms is clearly
explained, and the valuable maps show the positions taken up
by the individual batteries at each stage of the contests.
Tables are also supplied in the Appendix, furnishing full
details as to the number of killed and wounded, expenditure of
ammunition, &c. The campaign of 1870-71 having demonstrated the
importance of artillery to an extent which has not previously
been conceded to it, this work forms a valuable part of the
literature of the campaign, and will be read with interest
not only by members of the regular but also by those of the
auxiliary forces.

Translated by =Captain E. O. Hollist=. Demy 8vo. Uniform with the other

=VICTORIES AND DEFEATS.= An Attempt to explain the Causes which have led
to them. An Officer’s Manual. By =Col. R. P. Anderson=. Demy 8vo. 14s.
“A delightful military classic, and what is more, a most useful
one. The young officer should have it always at hand to open
anywhere and read a bit, and we warrant him that let that
bit be ever so small it will give him material for an hour’s
thinking.”—_United Service Gazette._
=THE FRONTAL ATTACK OF INFANTRY.= By =Capt. Laymann=, Instructor of
Tactics at the Military College, Neisse. Translated by =Colonel Edward
Newdigate=. Crown 8vo, limp cloth. Price 2s. 6d.
“This work has met with special attention in our
army.”—_Militarin Wochenblatt._
=THE OPERATIONS OF THE FIRST ARMY IN NORTHERN FRANCE AGAINST FAIDHERBE.=
By =Colonel Count Hermann Von Wartensleben=, Chief of the Staff of the
First Army. Translated by =Colonel C. H. Von Wright=. In demy 8vo.
Uniform with the above. Price 9s.
“Very clear, simple, yet eminently instructive, is this
history. It is not overladen with useless details, is written
in good taste, and possesses the inestimable value of being in
great measure the record of operations actually witnessed by
the author, supplemented by official documents.”—_Athenæum._
“The work is based on the official war documents—it is
especially valuable—the narrative is remarkably vivid and
interesting. Two well-executed maps enable the reader to trace
out the scenes of General Manteuffel’s operations.”—_Naval and
Military Gazette._
=ELEMENTARY MILITARY GEOGRAPHY, RECONNOITRING, AND SKETCHING.= Compiled
for Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers of all Arms. By =Lieut. C. E.
H. Vincent=, Royal Welsh Fusileers. Small crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“An admirable little manual full of facts and
teachings.”—_United Service Gazette._
=STUDIES IN THE NEW INFANTRY TACTICS.= Parts I. & II. By =Major W. Von
Schereff=. Translated from the German by =Col. Lumley Graham=. Price 7s.
6d.
“Major Von Schereff’s ‘Studies in Tactics’ is worthy of the
perusal—indeed, of the thoughtful study—of every military
man. The subject of the respective advantages of attack and
defence, and of the methods in which each form of battle should
be carried out under the fire of modern arms, is exhaustively
and admirably treated; indeed, we cannot but consider it to be
decidedly superior to any work which has hitherto appeared in
English upon this all-important subject.”—_Standard._
=TACTICAL DEDUCTIONS FROM THE WAR OF 1870-1.= By =Captain A. Von
Boguslawski=. Translated by =Colonel Lumley Graham=, late 18th (Royal
Irish) Regiment. Demy 8vo. Uniform with the above. Price 7s.
“Major Boguslawski’s tactical deductions from the war are,
that infantry still preserve their superiority over cavalry,
that open order must henceforth be the main principles of all
drill, and that the chassepot is the best of all small arms
for precision.... We must, without delay, impress brain and
forethought into the British Service; and we cannot commence
the good work too soon, or better, than by placing the two
books (‘The Operations of the German Armies’ and ‘Tactical
Deductions’) we have here criticised, in every military
library, and introducing them as class-books in every tactical
school.”—_United Service Gazette._
=THE ARMY OF THE NORTH-GERMAN CONFEDERATION.= A Brief Description of its
Organisation, of the different Branches of the Service and their ‘Rôle’
in War, of its Mode of Fighting, &c. By a =Prussian General=. Translated
from the German by =Col. Edward Newdigate=. Demy 8vo. 5s.
⁂ The authorship of this book was erroneously ascribed to the
renowned General von Moltke, but there can be little doubt that
it was written under his immediate inspiration.
=THE OPERATIONS OF THE GERMAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, FROM SEDAN TO THE END OF
THE WAR OF 1870-1.= With Large Official Map. From the Journals of the
Head-quarters Staff, by =Major Wm. Blume=. Translated by =E. M. Jones=,
Major 20th Foot, late Professor of Military History, Sandhurst. Demy 8vo.
Price 9s.
“The book is of absolute necessity to the military student....
The work is one of high merit.”—_United Service Gazette._
“The work of translation has been well done. In notes,
prefaces, and introductions, much additional information has
been given.”—_Athenæum._
“The work of Major von Blume in its English dress forms the
most valuable addition to our stock of works upon the war
that our press has put forth. Major Blume writes with a clear
conciseness much wanting in many of his country’s historians.
Our space forbids our doing more than commending it earnestly
as the most authentic and instructive narrative of the second
section of the war that has yet appeared.”—_Saturday Review._
=THE OPERATIONS OF THE SOUTH ARMY IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 1871.=
Compiled from the Official War Documents of the Head-quarters of the
Southern Army. By =Count Hermann Von Wartensleben=, Colonel in the
Prussian General Staff. Translated by =Colonel C. H. Von Wright=. Demy
8vo, with Maps. Uniform with the above. Price 6s.
=HASTY INTRENCHMENTS.= By =Colonel A. Brialmont=. Translated by
=Lieutenant Charles A. Empson, R.A.= Demy 8vo. Nine Plates. Price 6s.
“A valuable contribution to military literature.”—_Athenæum._
“In seven short chapters it gives plain directions for forming
shelter-trenches, with the best method of carrying the
necessary tools, and it offers practical illustrations of the
use of hasty intrenchments on the field of battle.”—_United
Service Magazine._
“It supplies that which our own textbooks give but imperfectly,
viz., hints as to how a position can best be strengthened by
means ... of such extemporised intrenchments and batteries as
can be thrown up by infantry in the space of four or five hours
... deserves to become a standard military work.”—_Standard._
“Clearly and critically written.”—_Wellington Gazette._
=STUDIES IN LEADING TROOPS.= By =Colonel Von Verdy Du Vernois=. An
authorised and accurate Translation by =Lieutenant H. J. T. Hildyard=,
71st Foot. Parts I. and II. Demy 8vo. Price 7s.
⁂ General BEAUCHAMP WALKER says of this work:—“I recommend
the first two numbers of Colonel von Verdy’s ‘Studies’ to the
attentive perusal of my brother officers. They supply a want
which I have often felt during my service in this country,
namely, a minuter tactical detail of the minor operations of
the war than any but the most observant and fortunately-placed
staff-officer is in a position to give. I have read and re-read
them very carefully, I hope with profit, certainly with great
interest, and believe that practice, in the sense of these
‘Studies,’ would be a valuable preparation for manœuvres on a
more extended scale.”—Berlin, June, 1872.
=THE SUBSTANTIVE SENIORITY ARMY LIST=, Majors and Captains. By =Captain
F. B. P. White=, 1st W. I. Regiment. 8vo, sewed. 2s. 6d.
=CAVALRY FIELD DUTY.= By =Major-General Von Mirus=. Translated by
=Captain Frank S. Russell=, 14th (King’s) Hussars. Crown 8vo, limp cloth.
7s. 6d.
⁂ This is the text-book of instruction in the German cavalry,
and comprises all the details connected with the military
duties of cavalry soldiers on service. The translation is made
from a new edition, which contains the modifications introduced
consequent on the experiences of the late war. The great
interest that students feel in all the German military methods,
will, it is believed, render this book especially acceptable at
the present time.
=DISCIPLINE AND DRILL.= Four Lectures delivered to the London Scottish
Rifle Volunteers. By =Captain S. Flood Page=. A New and Cheaper Edition.
Price 1s.
“One of the best-known and coolest-headed of the metropolitan
regiments, whose adjutant moreover has lately published an
admirable collection of lectures addressed by him to the men of
his corps.—_Times._
“The very useful and interesting work.”—_Volunteer Service
Gazette._
_INDIA AND THE EAST._
=THE ORIENTAL SPORTING MAGAZINE.= A Reprint of the first 5 Volumes, in 2
Volumes, demy 8vo. price 28s.
These volumes contain many quaint and clever papers, among
which we may mention the famous Sporting Songs written by S.
Y. S., of “The Boar, Saddle, Spur, and Spear,” &c., &c.—Capt.
MORRIS, of the Bombay Army; as well as descriptions of Hog
Hunts, Fox Hunts, Lion Hunts, Tiger Hunts, and Cheeta Hunts;

In 1 vol. Post 8vo. 6s.
“Full of all sorts of useful information to the English settler
or traveller in India.”—_Standard._
“One of the most valuable books ever published in
India—valuable for its sound information, its careful array
of pertinent facts, and its sterling common sense. It is a
publisher’s as well as an author’s ‘hit,’ for it supplies
a want which few persons may have discovered, but which
everybody will at once recognise when once the contents of
the book have been mastered. The medical part of the work is
invaluable.”—_Calcutta Guardian._
=THE MEDICAL GUIDE FOR ANGLO-INDIANS.= Being a Compendium of advice

“An admirable and exhaustive geographical, political, and
industrial survey.”—_Athenæum._
“The usefulness of this compact and methodical summary of the
most authentic information relating to countries whose welfare
is intimately connected with our own, should obtain for Mr.
Lewin Bowring’s work a good place among treatises of its
kind.”—_Daily News._
“Interesting even to the general reader, but more especially so
to those who may have a special concern in that portion of our
Indian Empire.”—_Post._

Laurie=, of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law; formerly H.M. Inspector
of Schools, England; Assistant Royal Commissioner, Ireland; Special
Commissioner, African Settlements; Director of Public Instruction, Ceylon.
EXTRACT FROM PROSPECTUS.
The Editor has undertaken to frame for India,—what he has been
eminently successful in doing for England and her colonies,—a
series of educational works, which he hopes will prove as
suitable for the peculiar wants of the country as they will be
consistent with the leading idea above alluded to. Like all
beginnings, his present instalments are necessarily somewhat
meagre and elementary; but he only awaits official and public
approval to complete, within a comparatively brief period,
his contemplated plan of a specific and fairly comprehensive
series of works in the various leading vernaculars of the
Indian continent. Meanwhile, those on his general catalogue
may be found suitable, in their present form, for use in the
Anglo-vernacular and English schools of India.

8vo. 4s. 6d.
“A conceit abounding in prettiness.”—_Examiner._

composition was a source of keen and legitimate enjoyment. The
rush of fresh, sparkling fancies is too rapid, too sustained,
too abundant, not to be spontaneous.”—_Academy._
=THE INN OF STRANGE MEETINGS, AND OTHER POEMS.= By =Mortimer Collins=.
Crown 8vo. 5s.
“Abounding in quiet humour, in bright fancy, in sweetness and
melody of expression, and, at times, in the tenderest touches

special characteristic of his verse.”—_Athenæum._

of the human heart in the story he tells with such pathos and

illumined with moral and religious sentiment suggested, not
paraded, of the brightest, purest character.”—_Standard._

“Genuine power displayed.”—_Examiner._

poem is unimpeachable.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

well done, viz., the treatment of subjects not in themselves
poetical from a poetic point of view.”—_Graphic._
“Intensity of feeling, a rugged pathos, robustness of tone, and
a downrightness of expression which does not shrink from even
slang if it seem best fitted for his purpose.”—_Illustrated
London News._

volume.”—_Westminster Review._
=ASPROMONTE, AND OTHER POEMS.= Second Edition, cloth. 4s. 6d.
“The volume is anonymous, but there is no reason for the
author to be ashamed of it. The ‘Poems of Italy’ are evidently
inspired by genuine enthusiasm in the cause espoused; and
one of them, ‘The Execution of Felice Orsini,’ has much
poetic merit, the event celebrated being told with dramatic
force.”—_Athenæum._
“The verse is fluent and free.”—_Spectator._
=A NEW VOLUME OF SONNETS.= By the =Rev. C. Tennyson Turner=. Crown 8vo.
4s. 6d.
“Mr. Turner is a genuine poet; his song is sweet and pure,
beautiful in expression, and often subtle in thought.”—_Pall
Mall Gazette._
“The dominant charm of all these sonnets is the pervading
presence of the writer’s personality, never obtruded but always
impalpably diffused. The light of a devout, gentle, and kindly
spirit, a delicate and graceful fancy, a keen intelligence
irradiates these thoughts.”—_Contemporary Review._
=GOETHE’S FAUST.= A New Translation in Rime. By the =Rev. C. Kegan Paul=.

we have yet seen.”—_Edinburgh Daily Review._
“Mr. Paul is a zealous and a faithful interpreter.”—_Saturday
Review._

which they belong.”—_British Quarterly Review, April 1st._

power and in inclination for verse, we have in them the promise
of a fine poet.”—_Spectator, February 17th._

felicitous phrasing and delicately wrought harmonies of some of
these poems.”—_Nonconformist, March 27th._
“It has a purity and delicacy of feeling like morning
air.”—_Graphic, March 16th._
=THE LEGENDS OF ST. PATRICK AND OTHER POEMS.= By =Aubrey de Vere=. Crown
8vo. 5s.
“Mr. De Vere’s versification in his earlier poems is
characterised by great sweetness and simplicity. He is master
of his instrument, and rarely offends the ear with false notes.
Poems such as these scarcely admit of quotation, for their
charm is not, and ought not to be, found in isolated passages;
but we can promise the patient and thoughtful reader much
pleasure in the perusal of this volume.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._
“We have marked, in almost every page, excellent touches from
which we know not how to select. We have but space to commend
the varied structure of his verse, the carefulness of his
grammar, and his excellent English.”—_Saturday Review._

=THE QUEEN’S SHILLING.= By =Captain Arthur Griffiths=, Author of
“Peccavi.” 2 vols.
“ ... A very lively and agreeable novel.”—_Vanity Fair._
“‘The Queen’s Shilling’ is a capital story, far more
interesting than the meagre sketch we have given of the
fortunes of the hero and heroine can suggest. Every scene,
character, and incident of the book are so life-like that they
seem drawn from life direct.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

Crown 8vo.
“Mr. Collins has produced a readable book, amusingly
characteristic....”—_Athenæum._

honourable mention to Mr. Collins’s ‘vers de société,’ the
writing of which has almost become a lost art.”—_Pall Mall
Gazette._
“A bright, fresh, and original book.”—_Standard._

beyond praise.”—_Morning Post._

father’s peculiar genius.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

reason to rejoice whenever we hear that a new work is
coming out written by one who bears the honoured name of
Hawthorne.”—_Saturday Review._

time.”—_Morning Post._

it.”—_Daily News._
=OFF THE SKELLIGS.= By =Jean Ingelow=. (Her First Romance.) Crown 8vo. In
4 vols.
“Clever and sparkling.”—_Standard._
“We read each succeeding volume with increasing interest, going
almost to the point of wishing there was a fifth.”—_Athenæum._
“The novel as a whole is a remarkable one, because it is
uncompromisingly true to life.”—_Daily News._
=SEETA.= By =Colonel Meadows Taylor=, Author of “Tara,” “Ralph Darnell,”
&c. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

described, and the petty intrigues of native rulers, and
their hatred of the English, mingled with fear lest the
latter should eventually prove the victors, are cleverly
depicted.”—_Athenæum._
“We cannot speak too highly of Colonel Meadows Taylor’s
book.... We would recommend all novel-readers to purchase it at
the earliest opportunity.”—_John Bull._
“Thoroughly interesting and enjoyable reading.”—_Examiner._
=HESTER MORLEY’S PROMISE.= By =Hesba Stretton=. 3 vols.
“‘Hester Morley’s Promise’ is much better than the average
novel of the day; it has much more claim to critical
consideration as a piece of literary work,—not mere
mechanism. The pictures of a narrow society—narrow of
soul and intellect—in which the book abounds, are very
clever.”—_Spectator._
“Its charm lies not so much, perhaps, in any special
excellence in character, drawing, or construction—though all
the characters stand out clearly and are well sustained, and
the interest of the story never flags—as in general tone and
colouring.”—_Observer._

Gazette_, June 28, 1873.

several from the late King William IV.”—_Spectator._

descriptions of English country life in the last century,
presenting a vivid picture of England before the introduction
of railways, and the busy life accompanying them.”—_Evening
Standard._
=JOHANNES OLAF.= By =E. de Wille=. Translated by =F. E. Bunnett=. Crown
8vo. 3 vols.
“The art of description is fully exhibited; perception of
character and capacity for delineating it are obvious; while
there is great breadth and comprehensiveness in the plan of the
story.”—_Morning Post._

itself.”—_Daily News._

can tell a story closely and pleasantly.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._
=LINKED AT LAST.= By =F. E. Bunnett=. 1 vol. Crown 8vo.

natural incident, and delicate portraiture, that the reader who
once takes it up will not be inclined to relinquish it without
concluding the volume.”—_Morning Post._
“A very charming story.”—_John Bull._
=PERPLEXITY.= By =Sydney Mostyn=. 3 vols. Crown 8vo.
“Shows much lucidity—much power of portraiture.”—_Examiner._
“Written with very considerable power, great cleverness, and
sustained interest.”—_Standard._
“The literary workmanship is good, and the story forcibly and
graphically told.”—_Daily News._

vols. Crown 8vo. Price 21s.
“There is a quaintness and simplicity in the roguery of the
hero that makes his life as attractive as that of Guzman
d’Alfarache or Gil Blas, and so we advise our readers not to
be dismayed at the length of Pandurang Hari, but to read it
resolutely through. If they do this they cannot, we think, fail
to be both amused and interested.”—_Times._

young will take to it for its love portions, the older
for its descriptions, some in this day for its Arab
