EXTRACTS FROM LITERARY NOTICES.
“The present series—taking its name from the opening
volume, which contained a translation of the Knight without
Fear and without Reproach—will really, we think, fill a
void in the shelves of all except the most complete English
libraries. These little square-shaped volumes contain, in a
very manageable and pretty form, a great many things not very
easy of access elsewhere, and some things for the first time
brought together.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._ “We have here two more
volumes of the series appropriately called the ‘Bayard,’ as
they certainly are ‘sans reproche.’ Of convenient size, with
clear typography and tasteful binding, we know no other little
volumes which make such good gift-books for persons of mature
age.”—_Examiner._ “St. Louis and his companions, as described
by Joinville, not only in their glistening armour, but in their
every-day attire, are brought nearer to us, become intelligible
to us, and teach us lessons of humanity which we can learn from
men only, and not from saints and heroes. Here lies the real
value of real history. It widens our minds and our hearts, and
gives us that true knowledge of the world and of human nature in
all its phases which but few can gain in the short span of their
own life, and in the narrow sphere of their friends and enemies.
We can hardly imagine a better book for boys to read or for men
to ponder over.”—_Times._

“This capital translation of M. Verne’s last wild and amusing
story is, like all those by the same author, delightfully
extravagant, and full of entertaining improbabilities…. The
illustrations are not the least amusing part of M. Verne’s book,
and certainly the reader of ‘Meridiana’ will not fail to have
many a hearty laugh over it.”—_Morning Post._

woodcuts.”—_North British Daily Mail._
“Eminently readable.”—_Daily News._
“One of the most interesting books of the season…. Ably
translated.”—_Graphic._

printed.”—_Morning Post._
“Illustrated with more than a hundred engravings that make the
hair stand on end, and published at a low price. If this book,
which is translated from the French, does not ‘go,’ boys are no
longer boys…. Grave men will be equally borne along in the grasp
of the accomplished author.”—_Standard._

THE INEXHAUSTIBLE MAGIC INKSTAND
_Is Patented in Great Britain and her Colonies, France, the United
States, and other Countries. It is manufactured to produce Black,
Coral Red, Violet, Sky Blue, Sea Green, Panzy, and Copying
Black Inks, in stands from Four Shillings upwards._
[Illustration]
Producing Ink for every-day use for more than a Hundred Years.
Various Models in Porcelain, Crystal, Wood, Bronze, &c. are in
preparation.
NOTICE.—This little apparatus contains a chemical product unknown
in the arts. The composition, which possesses remarkable colouring
properties, is soluble in cold water; but, by a peculiar arrangement
in the interior, the water dissolving the product can only become,
as it were, saturated with it, but without diluting the material or
converting it into pulp or syrup.
The material acting like a soluble salt, the solution having attained
a certain degree of density, it remains stable, without precipitate,
and the liquid, always limpid, constitutes an Ink of a doubly superior
character, rivalling in all respects the best modern Inks.
MESSRS. SAMPSON LOW & CO. _and_ MESSRS. HACHETTE &
CO. _are the Proprietors and Patentees_.
CHISWICK PRESS:—PRINTED BY WHITTINGHAM AND WILKINS,
TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE.
