_A sort of impression rests on most minds that French literature begins
with the "siecle de Louis Quatorze;" any previous literature being for the
most part unknown or ignored. Few know anything of the enormous literary
activity that began in the thirteenth century, was carried on by Rulebeuf,
Marie de France, Gaston de Foix, Thibault de Champagne, and Lorris; was
fostered by Charles of Orleans, by Margaret of Valois, by Francis the
First; that gave a crowd of versifiers to France, enriched, strengthened,
developed, and fixed the French language, and prepared the way for
Corneille and for Racine. The present work aims to afford information and
direction touching the early efforts of France in poetical literature._

very best, if not to all of the early French poets_."--_Athenæum_.

THE RETURN OF THE GUARDS, AND OTHER POEMS. Fcap. 8vo. 7_s_.
"_Good wine needs no bush, nor good verse a preface; and Sir Francis

"_ The following year was memorable for the commencement of the 'Guesses

of unconscious nature_."--_Westminster Review_.

Second Edition. Fcap. 8vo. 5_s_.
"_She handles her little marvel with that rare poetic discrimination which
neither exhausts it of its simple wonders by pushing symbolism too far,

fact she has produced a true children's poem, which is far more delightful
to the mature than to children, though it would be delightful to
all_."--_Spectator_.
THE PRINCE'S PROGRESS, AND OTHER POEMS. With two Designs by _D.G.
Rossetti_. Fcap. 8vo. 6_s_.
"_Miss Rossetti's poems are of the kind which recalls Shelley's definition
of Poetry as the record of the best and happiest moments of the best and
happiest minds.... They are like the piping of a bird on the spray in the
sunshine, or the quaint singing with which a child amuses itself when it
forgets that anybody is listening."_--_Saturday Review_.

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

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_.
Turner
------
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_.

LIFE AND POEMS. By Mrs. _Henry Roscoe_. Crown 8vo. 9_s_.
_The life of Vittoria Colonna, the celebrated Marchesa di Pescara, has
received but cursory notice from any English writer, though in every

of the sixteenth century. "In three hundred and fifty years," says her
biographer Visconti, "there has been no other Italian lady who can be
compared to her."_
"_It is written with good taste, with quick and intelligent sympathy,
occasionally with a real freshness and charm of style_"--_Pall Mall
Gazette_.

A WOMAN SOLD, AND OTHER POEMS. Crown 8vo. 7_s. 6d_.
"_Mrs. Webster has shown us that she is able to draw admirably from the
life; that she can observe with subtlety, and render her observations with
delicacy; that she can impersonate complex conceptions, and venture into
which few living writers can follow her_."--_Guardian_.
Woolner
-------
MY BEAUTIFUL LADY. By THOMAS WOOLNER. With a Vignette by _Arthur Hughes_.
_Third Edition_. Fcap. 8vo. 5_s_.
"_It is clearly the product of no idle hour, but a highly-conceived and
faithfully-executed task, self-imposed, and prompted by that inward
yearning to utter great thoughts, and a wealth of passionate feeling which
is poetic genius. No man can read this poem without being struck by the
fitness and finish of the workmanship, so to speak, as well as by the
chastened and unpretending loftiness of thought which pervades the
whole_." _Globe_.
