ALPHABETICAL LIST.
_PRESS NOTICES._
=Life of Jane Austen. By Goldwin Smith.=
"Mr. Goldwin Smith has added another to the not inconsiderable
roll of eminent men who have found their delight in Jane
Austen. Certainly a fascinating book."--_Spectator._
=Life of Balzac. By Frederick Wedmore.=
"A finished study, a concentrated summary, a succinct analysis
of Balzac's successes and failures, and the causes of these
successes and failures, and of the scope of his
genius."--_Scottish Leader._
=Life of Charlotte Bronte. By A. Birrell.=
"Those who know much of Charlotte Bronte will learn more, and
those who know nothing about her will find all that is best
worth learning in Mr. Birrell's pleasant book."--_St. James's
Gazette._
=Life of Browning. By William Sharp.=
"This little volume is a model of excellent English, and in
every respect it seems to us what a biography should
be."--_Public Opinion._
=Life of Bunyan. By Canon Venables.=
"A most intelligent, appreciative, and valuable
memoir."--_Scotsman._
=Life of Burns. By Professor Blackie.=
"The editor certainly made a hit when he persuaded Blackie to
write about Burns."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
=Life of Byron. By Hon. Roden Noel.=
"He [Mr. Noel] has at any rate given to the world the most
credible and comprehensible portrait of the poet ever drawn
with pen and ink."--_Manchester Examiner._
=Life of Thomas Carlyle. By R. Garnett, LL.D.=
"This is an admirable book. Nothing could be more felicitous
and fairer than the way in which he takes us through Carlyle's
life and works."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
=Life of Cervantes. By H.E. Watts.=
"Let us rather say that no volume of this series, nor, so far
as we can recollect, of any of the other numerous similar
series, presents the facts of the subject in a more
workmanlike style, or with more exhaustive
knowledge."--_Manchester Guardian._
=Life of Coleridge. By Hall Caine.=
"Brief and vigorous, written throughout with spirit and great
literary skill."--_Scotsman._
=Life of Congreve. By Edmund Gosse.=
"Mr. Gosse has written an admirable and most interesting
biography of a man of letters who is of particular interest to
other men of letters."--_The Academy._
=Life of Crabbe. By T.E. Kebbel.=
"No English poet since Shakespeare has observed certain
aspects of nature and of human life more closely; and in the
qualities of manliness and of sincerity he is surpassed by
none.... Mr. Kebbel's monograph is worthy of the
subject."--_Athenaeum._
=Life of Darwin. By G.T. Bettany.=
"Mr. G.T. Bettany's _Life of Darwin_ is a sound and
conscientious work."--_Saturday Review._
=Life of Dickens. By Frank T. Marzials.=
"Notwithstanding the mass of matter that has been printed
relating to Dickens and his works, ... we should, until we
came across this volume, have been at a loss to recommend any
popular life of England's most popular novelist as being
really satisfactory. The difficulty is removed by Mr.
Marzials' little book."--_Athenaeum._
=Life of George Eliot. By Oscar Browning.=
"We are thankful for this interesting addition to our
knowledge of the great novelist."--_Literary World._
=Life of Emerson. By Richard Garnett, LL.D.=
"As to the larger section of the public, to whom the series of
Great Writers is addressed, no record of Emerson's life and
work could be more desirable, both in breadth of treatment and
lucidity of style, than Dr. Garnett's."--_Saturday Review._
=Life of Goethe. By James Sime.=
"Mr. James Sime's competence as a biographer of Goethe, both
in respect of knowledge of his special subject, and of German
literature generally, is beyond question."--_Manchester
Guardian._
=Life of Goldsmith. By Austin Dobson.=
"The story of his literary and social life in London, with all
its humorous and pathetic vicissitudes, is here retold as none
could tell it better."--_Daily News._
=Life of Nathaniel Hawthorne. By Moncure Conway.=
"Easy and conversational as the tone is throughout, no
important fact is omitted, no useless fact is
recalled."--_Speaker._
=Life of Heine. By William Sharp.=
"This is an admirable monograph, ... more fully written up to
the level of recent knowledge and criticism of its theme than
any other English work."--_Scotsman._
=Life of Victor Hugo. By Frank T. Marzials.=
"Mr. Marzials' volume presents to us, in a more handy form
than any English, or even French, handbook gives, the summary
of what, up to the moment in which we write, is known or
conjectured about the life of the great poet."--_Saturday
Review._
=Life of Hunt. By Cosmo Monkhouse.=
"Mr. Monkhouse has brought together and skilfully set in order
much widely scattered material."--_Athenaeum._
=Life of Samuel Johnson. By Colonel F. Grant.=
"Colonel Grant has performed his task with diligence, sound
judgment, good taste, and accuracy."--_Illustrated London
News._
=Life of Keats. By W.M. Rossetti.=
"Valuable for the ample information which it
contains."--_Cambridge Independent._
=Life of Lessing. By T.W. Rolleston.=
"A picture of Lessing which is vivid and truthful, and has
enough of detail for all ordinary purposes."--_Nation_ (New
York).
=Life of Longfellow. By Prof. Eric S. Robertson.=
"A most readable little book."--_Liverpool Mercury._
=Life of Marryat. By David Hannay.=
"What Mr. Hannay had to do--give a craftsman-like account of a
great craftsman who has been almost incomprehensibly
undervalued--could hardly have been done better than in this
little volume."--_Manchester Guardian._
=Life of Mill. By W.L. Courtney.=
"A most sympathetic and discriminating memoir."--_Glasgow
Herald._
=Life of Milton. By Richard Garnett, LL.D.=
"Within equal compass the life-story of the great poet of
Puritanism has never been more charmingly or adequately
told."--_Scottish Leader._
=Life of Renan. By Francis Espinasse.=
"Sufficiently full in details to give us a living picture of
the great scholar, ... and never tiresome or
dull."--_Westminster Review._
=Life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. By J. Knight.=
"Mr. Knight's picture of the great poet and painter is the
fullest and best yet presented to the public."--_The Graphic._
=Life of Schiller. By Henry W. Nevinson.=
"This is a well-written little volume, which presents the
leading facts of the poet's life in a neatly rounded
picture."--_Scotsman._
"Mr. Nevinson has added much to the charm of his book by his
spirited translations, which give excellently both the ring
and sense of the original."--_Manchester Guardian._
=Life of Arthur Schopenhauer. By William Wallace.=
"The series of Great Writers has hardly had a contribution of
more marked and peculiar excellence than the book which the
Whyte Professor of Moral Philosophy at Oxford has written for
it on the attractive and still (in England) little-known
subject of Schopenhauer."--_Manchester Guardian._
=Life of Scott. By Professor Yonge.=
"For readers and lovers of the poems and novels of Sir Walter
Scott this is a most enjoyable book."--_Aberdeen Free Press._
=Life of Shelley. By William Sharp.=
"The criticisms ... entitle this capital monograph to be
ranked with the best biographies of Shelley."--_Westminster
Review._
=Life of Sheridan. By Lloyd Sanders.=
"To say that Mr. Lloyd Sanders, in this volume, has produced
the best existing memoir of Sheridan is really to award much
fainter praise than the book deserves."--_Manchester
Guardian._
"Rapid and workmanlike in style, the author has evidently a
good practical knowledge of the stage of Sheridan's
day."--_Saturday Review._
=Life of Adam Smith. By R.B. Haldane, M.P.=
"Written with a perspicuity seldom exemplified when dealing
with economic science."--_Scotsman._
"Mr. Haldane's handling of his subject impresses us as that of
a man who well understands his theme, and who knows how to
elucidate it."-_Scottish Leader._
"A beginner in political economy might easily do worse than
take Mr. Haldane's book as his first text-book."--_Graphic._
=Life of Smollett. By David Hannay.=
"A capital record of a writer who still remains one of the
great masters of the English novel."--_Saturday Review._
"Mr. Hannay is excellently equipped for writing the life of
Smollett. As a specialist on the history of the eighteenth
century navy, he is at a great advantage in handling works so
full of the sea and sailors as Smollett's three principal
novels. Moreover, he has a complete acquaintance with the
Spanish romancers, from whom Smollet drew so much of his
inspiration. His criticism is generally acute and
discriminating; and his narrative is well arranged, compact,
and accurate."--_St. James's Gazette._
=Life of Thackeray. By Herman Merivale and Frank T. Marzials.=
"The book, with its excellent bibliography, is one which
neither the student nor the general reader can well afford to
miss."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"The last book published by Messrs. Merivale and Marzials is
full of very real and true things."--Mrs. ANNE THACKERAY
RITCHIE on "Thackeray and his Biographers," in _Illustrated
London News._
=Life of Thoreau. By H.S. Salt.=
"Mr. Salt's volume ought to do much towards widening the
knowledge and appreciation in England of one of the most
original men ever produced by the United
States."--_Illustrated London News._
=Life of Voltaire. By Francis Espinasse.=
"Up to date, accurate, impartial, and bright without any trace
of affectation."--_Academy._
=Life of Whittier. By W.J. Linton.=
"Mr. Linton is a sympathetic and yet judicious critic of
Whittier."--_World._

_VOLUMES ALREADY ISSUED._
=The Humour of France.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by
ELIZABETH LEE. With numerous Illustrations by PAUL FRENZENY.
"From Villon to Paul Verlaine, from dateless _fabliaux_ to
newspapers fresh from the kiosk, we have a tremendous range of
selections."--_Birmingham Daily Gazette._
"French wit is excellently represented. We have here examples
of Villon, Rabelais, and Moliere, but we have specimens also
of La Rochefoucauld, Regnard, Voltaire, Beaumarchais,
Chamfort, Dumas, Gautier, Labiche, De Banville, Pailleron, and
many others.... The book sparkles from beginning to
end."--_Globe._
=The Humour of Germany.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes,
by HANS MUeLLER-CASENOV. With numerous Illustrations by C.E. BROCK.
"An excellently representative volume."--_Daily Telegraph._
"Whether it is Saxon kinship or the fine qualities of the
collection, we have found this volume the most entertaining of
the three. Its riotous absurdities well overbalance its
examples of the oppressively heavy.... The national impulse to
make fun of the war correspondent has a capital example in the
skit from Julius Stettenheim."--_New York Independent._
=The Humour of Italy.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by
A. WERNER. With 50 Illustrations and a Frontispiece by ARTURO FALDI.
"Will reveal to English readers a whole new world of
literature."--_Athenaeum._
"Apart from selections of writers of classical reputation, the
book contains some delightful modern short stories and
sketches. We may particularly mention those by Verga, Capuana,
De Amicis.... Excellent also are one or two of the jokes and
'bulls' which figure under the heading of newspaper
humour."--_Literary World._
=The Humour of America.= Selected, with a copious Biographical Index
of American Humorists, by JAMES BARR.
"There is not a dull page in the volume; it fairly sparkles
and ripples with good things."--_Manchester Examiner._
=The Humour of Holland.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes,
by A. WERNER. With numerous Illustrations by DUDLEY HARDY.
"Apart from the quality of humour, one is much struck by the
evidence that in Holland during the present day there is a
genial literature, of which we have known nothing at all. The
pictures, just on the verge of caricature mostly, are very
well drawn."--_The Bookman._
=The Humour of Ireland.= Selected by D.J. O'DONOGHUE. With numerous
Illustrations by OLIVER PAQUE.
"A most conscientiously, exhaustively, excellently compiled
book; the editor could not have done his work better."--_The
Speaker._
"Does all that such a volume possibly could do for the
magnificent genius with which it grapples."--_Chronicle._
=The Humour of Spain.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by
SUSETTE M. TAYLOR. With numerous Illustrations by H.R. MILLAR.
"Mirth and entertainment are in the book entitled the Humour
of Spain, as well as many quaint and unexpected side-lights on
the social characteristics of an impressionable race. Miss
Taylor displays a wide acquaintance with Spanish literature
and contemporary life, and as her judgment as well as her
knowledge is considerable, the result is a charming
book."--_The Speaker._
"The impression of the whole book is a good one, and it is
admirably got up, and illustrated with great spirit. It should
be very largely read."--_Daily Chronicle._
=The Humour of Russia.= Translated, with Notes, by E.L. BOOLE, and an
Introduction by STEPNIAK. With 50 Illustrations by PAUL FRENZENY.
"This is one of the most entertaining of the 'International
Humour' Series, since it comprises some really exquisite
examples of humour, such as Gogol's diverting little comedy,
'Marriage,' and Ostrovsky's delightful sketch,
'Incompatibility of Temper.'"--_Saturday Review._

Nothing in the social history of the later Victorian era was more
remarkable than the growth of popular interest in Art. Doubtless this
was largely due to the spread of education, which has not only
disseminated knowledge, but also improved public taste. Nevertheless
much of the credit must be ascribed to the influence exerted by the
many Exhibitions, local as well as international, which have been held
since the inaugural Show in London in 1851.
Extraordinary as was the development referred to, the most hopeful
sign is that it has proved to be no mere passing symptom but has
become a permanent feature of civic life. This new-birth has been
fostered by municipal and private munificence alike. The leading
corporations, such as those of the City of London, Liverpool,
Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, and
Nottingham in England; of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Dundee in
Scotland; of Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide in the Australian
Commonwealth; of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago in the
United States, vie with each other in honourable rivalry for the
acquisition of the greatest examples of old and modern masters.
In these circumstances it would be surprising if an irresistible
popular demand had not grown up for information, of both a
biographical and critical character, respecting the famous painters
whose work has been so generally admired and whose names have become
household words. In the case of the Old Masters this want has already
been met, but no really satisfying series exists dealing _avowedly_
with the most typical painters of the British School.
The Walter Scott Publishing Company, Limited, have accordingly made
arrangements for the publication of a series of volumes bearing the
title--
=Makers of British Art.=
Each book will be produced in the highest style of typographical
excellence, and be illustrated with several of the choicest and most
characteristic specimens of the artist's skill. The aim of the writers
will be to narrate the life-history of the various painters in graphic
and popular language, keeping the human interest of the subject well
to the front, as well as to appreciate the men and their works. Whilst
the appeal must be made to the great body of the art-loving public,
the volumes will be commended to the student by Appendices giving in
chronological order a list of the chief examples of each painter,
together with such other relevant matter as will tend to make the
series of lasting value both for the library and as works of
reference.

NEW IDEAS ON BRIDGE.
BY ARCHIBALD DUNN, JUN.
The universal reception given to _Bridge, and How to Play it_, is a
sufficient proof of Mr. Archibald Dunn's fitness to give us further
views on this increasingly popular and exciting game. In this volume
the author deals with the many points of contention at present
agitating the minds of Bridge players. In particular, he advances a
novel theory as to "Declarations" and "Doubling," which is not
unlikely to revolutionise existing methods, and to result in placing
these two difficulties of the game on a thoroughly sound and solid
basis.
CONTENTS:--Common-sense in Bridge Declarations--Science of Bridge
Declarations--Doubling and Re-doubling--Some Points of the
Game--Bridge _v_. Whist--Chaos of Bridge--Great Imperfection of
Bridge.

_12mo. Cloth. Price $1.50 per Volume._
I. THE EVOLUTION OF SEX. By Prof. PATRICK GEDDES and J.A. THOMSON.
With 90 Illustrations. Second Edition.
"The authors have brought to the task--as indeed their names
guarantee--a wealth of knowledge, a lucid and attractive
method of treatment, and a rich vein of picturesque
language."--_Nature._
II. ELECTRICITY IN MODERN LIFE. By G.W. DE TUNZELMANN. With 88
Illustrations.
"A clearly written and connected sketch of what is known about
electricity and magnetism, the more prominent modern
applications, and the principles on which they are
based."--_Saturday Review._
III. THE ORIGIN OF THE ARYANS. By Dr. ISAAC TAYLOR. Illustrated.
Second Edition.
"Canon Taylor is probably the most encyclopaedic all-round
scholar now living. His new volume on the _Origin of the
Aryans_ is a first-rate example of the excellent account to
which he can turn his exceptionally wide and varied
information.... Masterly and exhaustive."--_Pall Mall
Gazette._
IV. PHYSIOGNOMY AND EXPRESSION. By P. MANTEGAZZA. Illustrated.
"Brings this highly interesting subject even with the latest
researches.... Professor Mantegazza is a writer full of life
and spirit, and the natural attractiveness of his subject is
not destroyed by his scientific handling of it."--_Literary
World_ (Boston).
V. EVOLUTION AND DISEASE. By J.B. SUTTON, F.R.C.S. With 135
Illustrations.
"The book is as interesting as a novel, without sacrifice of
accuracy or system, and is calculated to give an appreciation
of the fundamentals of pathology to the lay reader, while
forming a useful collection of illustrations of disease for
medical reference."--_Journal of Mental Science._
VI. THE VILLAGE COMMUNITY. By G.L. GOMME. Illustrated.
"His book will probably remain for some time the best work of
reference for facts bearing on those traces of the village
community which have not been effaced by conquest,
encroachment, and the heavy hand of Roman law."--_Scottish
Leader._
VII. THE CRIMINAL. By HAVELOCK ELLIS. Illustrated. Second Edition.
"The sociologist, the philosopher, the philanthropist, the
novelist--all, indeed, for whom the study of human nature has
any attraction--will find Mr. Ellis full of interest and
suggestiveness."--_Academy._
VIII. SANITY AND INSANITY. By Dr. CHARLES MERCIER. Illustrated.

side of mental science published in our time."--_Pall Mall
Gazette._

difficult physiological and psychological problems which have
not yet received much attention in the scientific world of
England."--_Nature._

students, both by the knowledge it displays, and by a thorough
love and appreciation of his subject, which is evident
throughout."--_Spectator._
XII. PRIMITIVE FOLK. By ELIE RECLUS.
"An attractive and useful introduction to the study of some
aspects of ethnography."--_Nature._
XIII. THE EVOLUTION OF MARRIAGE. By Professor LETOURNEAU.
"Among the distinguished French students of sociology,
Professor Letourneau has long stood in the first rank. He
approaches the great study of man free from bias and shy of
generalisations. To collect, scrutinise, and appraise facts is
his chief business. In the volume before us he shows these
qualities in an admirable degree."--_Science._
XIV. BACTERIA AND THEIR PRODUCTS. By Dr. G. SIMS WOODHEAD.
Illustrated. Second Edition.
"An excellent summary of the present state of knowledge of the
subject."--_Lancet._
XV. EDUCATION AND HEREDITY. By J.M. GUYAU.
"It is at once a treatise on sociology, ethics, and
pedagogics. It is doubtful whether, among all the ardent
evolutionists who have had their say on the moral and the
educational question, any one has carried forward the new
doctrine so boldly to its extreme logical
consequence."--Professor SULLY in _Mind_.
XVI. THE MAN OF GENIUS. By Prof. LOMBROSO. Illustrated.
"By far the most comprehensive and fascinating collection of
facts and generalisations concerning genius which has yet been
brought together."--_Journal of Mental Science._

F.Z.S. Illustrated.

have selected and interpreted his facts with considerable
judgment and learning."--_Westminster Review._
XIX. VOLCANOES, PAST AND PRESENT. By Prof. EDWARD HULL, LL.D., F.R.S.
"A very readable account of the phenomena of volcanoes and
earthquakes."--_Nature._
XX. PUBLIC HEALTH. By Dr. J.F.J. SYKES. With numerous Illustrations.
"Not by any means a mere compilation or a dry record of
details and statistics, but it takes up essential points in
evolution, environment, prophylaxis, and sanitation bearing
upon the preservation of public health."--_Lancet._
XXI. MODERN METEOROLOGY. AN ACCOUNT OF THE GROWTH AND PRESENT
CONDITION OF SOME BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGICAL SCIENCE. By FRANK WALDO,
Ph.D., Member of the German and Austrian Meteorological Societies,
etc.; late Junior Professor, Signal Service, U.S.A. With 112

Professor in the University of Freiburg-in-Breisgau. With 24
Illustrations. $2.50.
"There has been no work published since Darwin's own books
which has so thoroughly handled the matter treated by him, or
has done so much to place in order and clearness the immense
complexity of the factors of heredity, or, lastly, has brought
to light so many new facts and considerations bearing on the
subject."--_British Medical Journal._
XXIII. INDUSTRIES OF ANIMALS. By E.F. HOUSSAY. With numerous
Illustrations.
"His accuracy is undoubted, yet his facts out-marvel all
romance. These facts are here made use of as materials
wherewith to form the mighty fabric of
evolution."--_Manchester Guardian._
XXIV. MAN AND WOMAN. By HAVELOCK ELLIS. Illustrated. Second Edition.
"Mr. Havelock Ellis belongs, in some measure, to the
continental school of anthropologists; but while equally
methodical in the collection of facts, he is far more cautious
in the invention of theories, and he has the further
distinction of being not only able to think, but able to
write. His book is a sane and impartial consideration, from a
psychological and anthropological point of view, of a subject
which is certainly of primary interest."-_Athenaeum._
XXV. THE EVOLUTION OF MODERN CAPITALISM. By JOHN A. HOBSON, M.A.
"Every page affords evidence of wide and minute study, a
weighing of facts as conscientious as it is acute, a keen
sense of the importance of certain points as to which
economists of all schools have hitherto been confused and
careless, and an impartiality generally so great as to give no
indication of his [Mr. Hobson's] personal sympathies."--_Pall
Mall Gazette._
XXVI. APPARITIONS AND THOUGHT-TRANSFERENCE. By FRANK PODMORE, M.A.
"A very sober and interesting little book.... That
thought-transference is a real thing, though not perhaps a
very common thing, he certainly shows."--_Spectator._
XXVII. AN INTRODUCTION TO COMPARATIVE PSYCHOLOGY. By Professor C.
LLOYD MORGAN. With Diagrams.
"A strong and complete exposition of Psychology, as it takes
shape in a mind previously informed with biological
science.... Well written, extremely entertaining, and
intrinsically valuable."--_Saturday Review._

executed his work with much care, judgment, and
discrimination."--_The Lancet._
XXX. EVOLUTION IN ART: AS ILLUSTRATED BY THE LIFE-HISTORIES OF
DESIGNS. By Professor ALFRED C. HADDON. With 130 Illustrations.

and invaluable book."--_Journal of Anthropological Institute._

adequate."--_Academy._

country."--_American Journal of Psychology._
XXXVII. THE RACES OF MAN: A SKETCH OF ETHNOGRAPHY AND ANTHROPOLOGY. By
J. DENIKER. With 178 Illustrations.

phenomenal."--_British Medical Journal._

IBSEN'S DRAMAS.
Edited by William Archer.
12mo, CLOTH, PRICE $1.25 PER VOLUME.
"_We seem at last to be shown men and women as they are; and at first
it is more than we can endure.... All Ibsen's characters speak and act
as if they were hypnotised, and under their creator's imperious demand
to reveal themselves. There never was such a mirror held up to nature
before: it is too terrible.... Yet we must return to Ibsen, with his
remorseless surgery, his remorseless electric-light, until we, too,
have grown strong and learned to face the naked--if necessary, the
flayed and bleeding--reality._"--SPEAKER (London).
VOL. I. "A DOLL'S HOUSE," "THE LEAGUE OF YOUTH," and "THE
PILLARS OF SOCIETY." With Portrait of the Author, and
Biographical Introduction by WILLIAM ARCHER.

DUCK." With an Introductory Note.
VOL. III. "LADY INGER OF OeSTRAT," "THE VIKINGS AT HELGELAND,"

VOL. VI. "PEER GYNT: A DRAMATIC POEM." Authorised Translation by
WILLIAM and CHARLES ARCHER.
The sequence of the plays _in each volume_ is chronological; the
complete set of volumes comprising the dramas thus presents them in
chronological order.
"The art of prose translation does not perhaps enjoy a very high
literary status in England, but we have no hesitation in numbering the
present version of Ibsen, so far as it has gone (Vols. I. and II.),
among the very best achievements, in that kind, of our
generation."--_Academy._
"We have seldom, if ever, met with a translation so absolutely
idiomatic."--_Glasgow Herald._
