_=Some Press Notices.=_

=Dublin Review.=--“The recognised authority on the subject upon

which it treats.”

=Tablet.=--“Produced in excellent style, we welcome and

recommend this new edition of an old work by such a pioneer

of historical truth as Dr. Gasquet with renewed confidence,

for the next best thing to a new work from such a hand is a

carefully revised and cheaper edition of an old one.”

=Church Times.=--“Dr. Gasquet’s work has won for itself so

secure a position that it is superfluous to point out its

merits afresh, but the author in the preface to the new edition

calls attention to certain alterations necessitated by the

publication by Dr. James Gairdner of the Calendar of Papers of

the Reign of Henry VIII. These documents have now been arranged

in volumes, consequently a very considerable re-arrangement of

references has been rendered necessary, in order to facilitate

the consultation of the original documents. This popular

edition will be greatly appreciated by the students of this

period of England’s ecclesiastical history.”

=Catholic Book Notes.=--“A standard authority, if not

a classic … we congratulate author and publisher on its

production in one handsome volume. We anticipate a large sale

… and would especially recommend it as a suitable volume for

prizes in the higher classes of our schools.”

_=Some Press Notices.=_

=Saturday Review.=--“On the whole, it would be difficult within

the limits that the author has set for himself to write a more

interesting book. We recommend, more especially to the general

reader, the three chapters on the life of a monk in the world

and in his monastery, and that describing the life of women

under the rule.”

=Literature.=--“We are struck with the skill with which he has

mastered the details of a somewhat complicated story, and the

clear way he has set it down for the benefit of his readers.”

=English Historical Review.=--“Here, for the first time,

the story of the Benedictine mission of 1603 is fully

told in English; in this story the central figure is Dom

Augustine Baker, the true author of the ‘Apostolatus,’ who,

being professed by the aged Buckley, the last survivor of

Westminster, claimed the inheritance of the rights and

privileges of the original congregation, and the power, by

professing others, to hand on the inheritance to posterity.

The story of the English Benedictine congregation in its

settlements abroad, and finally in its settlements at home, is

very skilfully told, in a pleasant, popular style.”

=Literary World.=--“The story of the English Benedictines is

one that will be read with sympathy and even admiration by the

instructed Protestant. Curiously enough the history of the

Order--not the exact word, but no better offers--has a striking

affinity with the principles of Congregationalism. The strength

of the Order was that it consisted of independent homes, and

was not like most fraternities, a great whole subdivided into

communities. Upon this Father Taunton again and again insists,

and his view is indisputable. Of the two volumes before us

the first will be more generally interesting to Englishmen,

but it may be well to prepare our readers for its perusal by

saying that the almost patronising style of the beginning is

not long continued. We feared at first that the author was

going to talk down to us in pity for our ignorance, and were

accordingly prepared to resent his impertinence. A very few

pages onward and we yielded ourselves willingly to his pleasant

instruction.… A good book, which we can heartily recommend to

the open-minded reader.”

=Liverpool Post.=--“Two large and well-printed volumes contain

what the writer modestly describes as a ‘sketch’ of the

Benedictine Order in England from the coming of Augustine

in the sixth century up to the present time. The work is

something more than a theological history. It is in one aspect

a history of English society during fifteen hundred years, for

the Benedictines were ever closely in touch with the people

among whom they laboured. Mr. Taunton is not an ecclesiastical

zealot, and he writes with admirable impartiality, as witness

his outspoken condemnation of the intrigues of Rome and the

machinations of the Jesuits in England during the reigns of

Elizabeth and James. Hence his opinions on such a question

as the social consequences to England of the closing of the

monasteries is deserving of greater weight.”

=Glasgow Herald.=--“In these two portly volumes Mr. Taunton

furnishes us with a very full history of the English

Benedictines, describing it as ‘a tribute of the affection

and esteem which I, an outsider, have for the English monks.’

There is doubtless room for such a work, and it must be said

that Mr. Taunton has brought to his task abundant enthusiasm

and much painstaking research. … We cordially welcome it for

its accumulation of valuable historical materials, and for the

author’s industry we have nothing but praise.”

_=Some Press Notices.=_

=Daily Chronicle.=--“When it is remembered that in these two

volumes (January and February) the biographies of more than

four hundred saints are to be found, and that in every case the

authorities from which they are derived are set forth; that

in the Introduction the reader is furnished with a succinct

account of the literature of the subject which is the best

_résumé_ that we have in English; that errors in the previous

edition are not left uncorrected--it will be seen how much

is to be expected from this new issue of Mr. Baring-Gould’s

wonderful work, and how much will be found in the sixteen

volumes which will be required to complete it.… No student of

history--to go no further--can dispense with such a valuable

book of reference. There is nothing like it in our language.”

=Standard.=--“The earlier volumes of the new edition are before

us, and even a cursory examination is enough to show that the

work has been thoroughly revised.… The book is of real value,

since it is written with scholarly care, imaginative vision,

and a happy union of charity and courage.”

=Guardian.=--“Whoever reads the more important lives in the

sixteen volumes of which this new edition is to consist, will

be introduced to a region of which historians for the most part

tell him little, and yet one that throws constant light upon

some of the obscurest points of ordinary histories. For this,

and for the pleasure and profit thence derived, he will have to

thank Mr. Baring-Gould.”

=Scotsman.=--“Mr. Baring-Gould, Anglican priest though he be,

fulfils the promise of his original edition in so far as he

does not obtrude either prejudice or sectarianism into his

record of these Saints.”

=British Review and National Observer.=--“The new edition of

Mr. Baring-Gould’s familiar work may well be called monumental,

both on account of its size, and the variety and completeness

of the information to be found in it.”

=Notes and Queries.=--“It is impossible to mention the various

sources whence have been drawn the illustrations, which will

render this work, to those to whom the subject appeals, the

most acceptable, as it is certainly the handsomest, of existing

editions.”

=Weekly Sun.=--“We unhesitatingly commend it as well to the

lover of mediævalism as the student who must have at hand

encyclopædic volumes of reference. No library that aims at

being comprehensive can afford to be without it. No student of

ecclesiastical and cathedral antiquities can neglect it if he

wishes to make a successful study of his particular subject.”

=Christian World.=--“The new edition is tastefully got up, and

is a worthy setting of a great literary enterprise. The ‘Lives

of the Saints’ is a human story of unfading interest.”

_=New Work by the Rev. F. A. GASQUET, D.D., O.S.B.=_

IMPORTANT TO STUDENTS OF THE REFORMATION PERIOD.

In One Volume, Demy 8vo, Cloth, Gilt Top, price 12s. 6d. Net.

in the Period preceding the Rejection of the Roman Jurisdiction

by Henry VIII. By FRANCIS AIDAN GASQUET, D.D., O.S.B., Author

of “Henry VIII. and the English Monasteries,” “The Old English

Bible, and other Essays,” &c.

NOTE.--This is not a controversial work, but a study chiefly of

the literature, &c., of the period in order to see what people

were doing, saying, and thinking about before the change of

religion. As touching upon rather new ground, and at the same

time widening the field of view in the Reformation question, it

should be of great interest at the present moment.

cannot fail to be penetrated by the poetry that fills each of

The Spectator.

EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES

BY GEORGE A. AITKEN, Author of “The Life of Richard Steele,” &c.

_From the Editor’s Preface._

“The present edition of the ‘Spectator’ has been printed from a

copy of the original collected and revised edition published in

1712-15, with the exception that modern rules of spelling have

been followed. The principal variations between the text as

corrected by the authors and the original version in the folio

numbers have at the same time been indicated in the notes; it

has not been thought necessary to point out slight differences

of no importance. In the notes I have aimed at the greatest

conciseness compatible with the satisfactory explanation of

the less obvious allusions to literary or social matters. I

have acknowledged my principal obligations to more recent

editors, but in some cases notes have been handed down from

one editor to another, and cannot be traced to their original

author. Many of the older notes, moreover, were obsolete, or

needed correction in the light of subsequent knowledge. I have

endeavoured to preserve what is of value, without burdening

the pages with the contradictions and inaccuracies which are

inevitable in a _variorum_ edition.”

_Some Press Notices._

=Pall Mall Gazette.=--“Undoubtedly the best library reprint of

this famous periodical that has been published.”

=Daily News.=--“If handsome print, paper, and binding, together

with careful annotation, have attractions in the eyes of lovers

of standard books, there ought to be a good demand for this new

edition.”

=Scotsman.=--“An edition in which it is a pleasure to read, and

one which would adorn any library.”

=Notes and Queries.=--“We congratulate the publisher and the

editor on the termination of a useful task, and we commend to

the public this eminently desirable edition of our English

masterpiece--the most attractive and serviceable yet printed.”

=Birmingham Post.=--“An edition of the ‘Spectator’ which, as

a book for the library, has no equal, whether we consider the

stately and appropriate form, the typographical excellence,

or the erudite and finished editing. Added to these is the

crowning grace of a full and complete index. It is a luxury to

read the early eighteenth century classic in such an edition as

this.”

=Glasgow Herald.=--“All that the most fastidious lover of

books could desire. Its size--extra crown octavo--is stately,

without being cumbersome. The buckram cloth binding is neat,

substantial, and serviceable--exactly what is required for a

library of which the contents are intended for use as well as

for show. The notes supplied by Mr. George A. Aitken, as might

be expected from his exceptional acquaintance with the period,

enable the reader to understand and appreciate the numerous

allusions to literary and social matters which occur in most of

the papers.”

information, and real contributions to history.”

=British Review and National Observer.=--“Dr. Gasquet has

started a very curious controversy, which will entertain even

those whom it does not seriously interest, and will familiarise

_Some Press Notices of the Large Type Border Edition of the

Waverley Novels._

=The Spectator.=--“We trust that this fine edition of our

greatest and most poetical of novelists will attain, if it has

not already done so, the high popularity it deserves. To all

Scott’s lovers it is a pleasure to know that, despite the daily

and weekly inrush of ephemeral fiction, the sale of his works

is said by the booksellers to rank next below Tennyson’s in

poetry, and above that of everybody else in prose.”

=The Times.=--“It would be difficult to find in these days

a more competent and sympathetic editor of Scott than his

countryman, the brilliant and versatile man of letters who

has undertaken the task; and if any proof were wanted either

of his qualifications or of his skill and discretion in

displaying them, Mr. Lang has furnished it abundantly in his

charming Introduction to ‘Waverley.’ The editor’s own notes are

judiciously sparing, but conspicuously to the point, and they

are very discreetly separated from those of the author, Mr.

Lang’s laudable purpose being to illustrate and explain Scott,

not to make the notes a pretext for displaying his own critical

faculty and literary erudition. The illustrations by various

competent hands are beautiful in themselves and beautifully

executed, and, altogether, the ‘Border Edition’ of the Waverley

Novels bids fair to become the classical edition of the great

Scottish classic.”

=The Athenæum.=-“The handsome ‘Border Edition’ has been brought

by Mr. Nimmo to a successful conclusion. Mr. Nimmo deserves to

be complimented on the manner in which the Edition has been

printed and illustrated, and Mr. Lang on the way in which he

has performed his portion of the work. His Introductions have

been tasteful and readable; he has not overdone his part; and,

while he has supplied much useful information, he has by no

means overburdened the volumes with notes.”

=Notes and Queries.=--“Mr. Nimmo’s spirited and ambitious

enterprise has been conducted to a safe termination, and the

most ideal edition of the Waverley Novels in existence is now

completed.”

=Saturday Review.=--“Of all the many collections of the

Waverley Novels, Mr. Nimmo’s ‘Border Edition’ is incomparably

the most handsome and the most desirable.… Type, paper,

illustrations are altogether admirable.”

=Daily Chronicle.=--“There is absolutely no fault to be found

with it, as to paper, type, or arrangement.”

=Magazine of Art.=--“Size, type, paper, and printing, to say

nothing of the excessively liberal and charming introduction

or of the illustrations, make this perhaps the most desirable

edition of Scott ever issued on this side of the border.”

_Two Important Ornithological Works by Henry Seebohm._

THE STANDARD WORK ON BRITISH BIRDS.

In Four Volumes, Royal 8vo, Cloth, with numerous Wood

Engravings and Sixty-eight Coloured Plates, price £6, 6s., now

£5, 5s. Net.

A History or British Birds.

To which is added the Author’s Notes on their Classification

and Geographical Distribution; also Sixty-eight Coloured Plates

of their Eggs. By HENRY SEEBOHM, Author of “Siberia in Europe,”

“Siberia in Asia,” &c. &c.

=Saturday Review.=--“The illustrations are as nearly perfect as

the most careful colour-printing can produce, rivalling--and it

is no slight praise--the admirable egg-pictures of Hewitson,

some of which might almost have been executed by hand; and the

book is written in an easy, pleasant style, redolent of the

field rather than of the study.”

=Zoologist.=--“The text contains not only a description of

each egg and its varieties, but also a very full account of

the life-history of each bird.… If we may conceive the works

of Yarrell and Hewitson rolled into one, with corrections,

emendations, and important additions, and with woodcuts as well

as coloured plates, such a work is Mr. Seebohm’s.”

=Nature.=--“We unhesitatingly express our opinion that since

Mr. Keulemans’s best style. The book is profusely illustrated

by woodcuts, showing the specific characters of the different

species, and these will be invaluable to the student of these

difficult birds. In fact, no work has ever been so remarkably

treated in this respect, and it will be the book of reference

for the _Charadriidæ_ for many years to come.”

thrive, and explaining their qualities and the several uses

to which they are applied in many branches of manufacture and

industry.

Audubon, and His Journals.

By MARIA R. AUDUBON. With Notes by ELLIOTT COUES.

CONTENTS.--Audubon: A Biography. The European Journals,

1826-29. The Labrador Journal, 1833. The Missouri River

Journal, 1843. The Episodes. With a full Index.

NOTE.--To English people the name of Audubon is a familiar and

respected one, and there is little reason to doubt that the

present work, forming as it does so handsome a monument of his

life’s work, should be acceptable both to the lover of good

books and to the naturalist. The former has the attraction

of Audubon’s picturesque and engaging English style, added

to reminiscences and narratives of a diverse and fascinating

character, and a highly interesting biography of Audubon from

the pen of his granddaughter. The naturalist, on the other

hand, has here for the first time the complete and carefully

edited text of Audubon’s valuable journals, supplemented by

appropriate and interesting notes by so eminent a zoologist as

Dr. Elliott Coues. The entire publication is virtually new,

since even the European journals are here much amplified, while

the Missouri and Labrador journals are practically unpublished,

and the “Episodes” have never before appeared collectively

except in a French translation. The work is one of the widest

interest, and must at once take its place as the authoritative

biography of Audubon, as well as the first adequate

presentation of his journals, which in their now complete form

give “the man instead of the death mask.”

=Times.=--“Audubon’s unpublished manuscripts are the record

of a long, a varied, and an adventurous life, passed in

unremitting activity and indefatigable industry. We must say

at once that for the most part they are fascinating. They are

sensational, instructive, and frankly autobiographical, and

they show a many-sided man in his various aspects, with the

absolute unreserve of innocent egoism.”

=Saturday Review.=--“There is much that will interest readers

of vastly different tastes. Thus the European journals in the

first volume have an interest that is chiefly personal, and we

get interesting scraps of conversation with Sir Walter Scott,

Jeffrey, Wilson, Lord Stanley, Cuvier, St. Hilaire, Selby,

Constant, Gerard, Jardine, and Bewick, as well as many other

notables in the science, art, and literature of Edinburgh,

London, and Paris in the late twenties.”

=Spectator.=--“The two volumes present the life of the great

French-American naturalist in a most attractive form. The

journal of his voyage up the Missouri is now first given to the

world, and the freshness of his life in the woods and of his

own charming personality is not marred by any unwise editing

or comment. The illustrations are excellent, worthy of a work

dealing with the life of the man who used the instruction

received from the revolutionary painter David in his youth to

make the greatest advance in the illustration of nature ever

achieved by one man.”

=Scotsman.=--“A worthy and enduring memorial has been raised

to the great American ornithologist in the two volumes prepared

by his granddaughter. Miss Audubon’s work has been admirably

done; and the worth of the book is much enhanced by the

zoological and other notes which Dr. Coues has appended.”

The English Black Monks of St. Benedict

A Sketch of their History from the coming of St. Augustine to

the Present Day.

By the Rev. ETHELRED L. TAUNTON.

_Some Press Notices._

=Saturday Review.=--“On the whole, it would be difficult within

the limits that the author has set for himself to write a more

interesting book. We recommend, more especially to the general

reader, the three chapters on the life of a monk in the world

and in his monastery, and that describing the life of women

under the rule.”

=Literature.=--“We are struck with the skill with which he has

mastered the details of a somewhat complicated story, and the

clear way he has set it down for the benefit of his readers.”

=Record.=--“We must add a word to express our sense of the

interest and value of the appendix to Volume I., which is

a translation of the Consuetudinary of the monks of St.

Augustine’s, Canterbury. It is a real help to understanding the

ways and works, the helps and the temptations, of the monks.”

=Bookman.=--“Much idle legend has been dissipated by Mr.

Taunton’s researches, many points left dark are now cleared up,

and in the perplexed quarrellings which ruined the prospects of

Catholicism at the close of the reign of Elizabeth, as under

James I. and Charles I., the historian holds a balance which

does not waver.”

The Flora of the Alps.

Being a Description of all the Species of Flowering Plants

indigenous to Switzerland, and of the Alpine Species of the

adjacent mountain districts of France, Italy, and Austria,

including the Pyrenees. By ALFRED W. BENNETT, M.A., B.Sc.,

F.L.S., Lecturer on Botany at St. Thomas’s Hospital.

=Times.=--“Meets a want which has long been felt by English

travellers of a complete illustrated guide to all the flowers

which are indigenous to Switzerland.… The illustrations are

numerous and accurate.”

=Standard.=--“Mr. Bennett gives an adequate description, and

one which is both clear and exact, of all the species of

flowering plants common to Switzerland.”

=Spectator.=--“These two volumes will form comprehensive and

delightful companions to every traveller.”

=Daily News.=--“The letterpress is excellent, as, indeed, we

should have expected from so high an authority; the plates are

likely to be of great service to the traveller, and with their

aid he will be able to identify most of the flowers he may find

among the mountains.”

=Land and Water.=--“These very beautifully illustrated volumes

will be welcomed by the numberless people whose summer holiday

is spent in Switzerland or the Alpine districts.”

The Complete Angler of Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton.

Edited by JOHN MAJOR.

=Scotsman.=--“There are all sorts of editions of the fisher’s

classic; but this will appeal most strongly to the man whose

affections attach themselves with an equal tenacity to a good

day’s fishing and a good book.”

=Bookman.=--“In Creswick’s engravings and all the other

pictures--‘embellishments’ they are called in the language of

the forties when Major brought out his edition--will lie the

chief interest and charm. They alone would make Major’s edition

one of the very best to possess.”

=Glasgow Herald.=--“As good an edition of the angler’s classic

as any one need wish to have.”

=Liverpool Post.=--“In these days of processed-blocks it is

indeed refreshing to come upon wood engravings such as the

tailpieces to the different chapters.”

Cross’ certainly used to be, and probably is still, the delight

of every well-constituted schoolboy; while the somewhat soberer

‘Hillingdon Hall’ should have considerable interest for country

folk at the present day, both as a picture of life in the early

days of Queen Victoria, and as containing several eloquent

dissertations by the hero and others on the effect of the

abolition of the Corn-laws upon the agricultural interest.”
