overwhelming quantities by the publishers at this season of the year,
the reviewer is strongly tempted to overpraise a work so fresh, artless,
and finished as Miss Hullah’s ‘Philippa.’ The clever authoress is a
delightful story-teller. For originality of treatment, quiet sense of
humour, and literary style, ‘Philippa’ rises far above the mass of
mediocrity flooding the book market.”—PUBLIC OPINION.

NATIONAL SOCIETY’S PRIZE BOOKS for the YOUNG
CHAPTERS IN POPULAR NATURAL HISTORY
By Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, Bart., M.P., F.R.S., Author of “Ants, Bees, and
Wasps,” &c. With 90 Illustrations. Pp. 224. Bevelled boards, cloth gilt,
price 2_s._
“These selections from Sir John Lubbock’s well-known works
have been judiciously chosen, and the illustrations are
admirable. Altogether, it is the most attractive of countless
reading-books that the New Code has called forth.”—JOURNAL OF
EDUCATION.
“It has been admirably condensed from his larger works on
insects and wild flowers, and will excite the wonder of young
readers by the insight it gives them into the mysteries of
nature and science.... There is abundance to charm all classes
of students, and to set them thinking.”—DAILY CHRONICLE.
“A more interesting and instructive book we have not read for
some time.... The chapters on the colours of animals, and on
plants, fruits, and seeds, should be read by every person who
has acquired the art of reading.”—IRISH TEACHERS’ JOURNAL.
“It was a happy thought of the Society thus to utilise
and popularise some of Sir John Lubbock’s charming
studies.”—LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
HISTORICAL BALLADS
Edited and Annotated by CHARLOTTE M. YONGE, Author of “Cameos from
English History.” The Complete Work in One Volume. Bevelled boards, cloth
gilt, pp. 662, price 4_s._
“Miss Yonge’s two small volumes are suited to children by
their simplicity of language and clearness of subject.... We
think that the poems are judiciously and carefully chosen, and
much attention has been bestowed on the short notes, the chief
object of which is just to give children a little knowledge
of matters and allusions which they would not properly
understand.”—EDUCATIONAL TIMES on Parts I. and II.
“We have no doubt that it was a labour of love to Miss Yonge
to select and to annotate the stirring ballad music in which
English literature is so rich. It will be nothing less than a
liberal education to the children of the poor (or, indeed, of
the rich) to commit to memory and ponder over such verses as
these.”—LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
“We have in this interesting volume a rare collection of pieces
suitable for recitation. Much judgment has been exercised in
choosing suitable poems, and care has been taken in so adapting
the pieces for standard work that their fitness is at once
apparent. It is the best collection of historical ballads that
we know of.”—TEACHERS’ AID.

NATIONAL SOCIETY’S RECENT PUBLICATIONS
THE LIFE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST
_Illustrated from the Italian Painters of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and
Sixteenth Centuries._
A Preface has been furnished to this volume, on the Growth of Religious
Art in Italy, by Mr. F. T. PALGRAVE, who has also added Critical and
Explanatory Notes on the Pictures and their Painters.
Richly bound in cloth boards, bevelled, gilt edges, price 21_s._
The =Church Quarterly Review= says:—“This book is a perfect
gem.... It is, indeed, a relief to turn to such matchless
designs as these. It would be impossible to speak too highly of
the knowledge of the history of art, the elevation of thought,
and the elegance of style which Mr. Palgrave displays.”
The =Spectator= says:—“The drawings are executed with much
skill; and the chromo-lithographic process is here employed
with delicacy and success. Mr. Palgrave’s notes are pertinent
and instructive. His Introduction is able and eloquent.”
The =Academy= says:—“This is a very beautiful book, and the
chromo-lithographs with which it is adorned, or rather, which
are illustrated by the text, reflect great credit on the care
and skill of all concerned in their production.”
The =Athenæum= says:—“By way of preface, a highly intelligent
and critical essay on the growth, aims, and developments of
religious art in Italy by Mr. F. T. Palgrave. Each well-weighed
and thoughtful sentence is worth reading. The general purport
of the book is well represented by the title. Mr. Palgrave
vouches for the beauty of the drawings made by Mr. Goodall,
from which the chromo-lithographs were taken.... A very
ambitious effort has been extremely successful.”
The =Portfolio= says:—“The eloquent and informing preface and
the critical notes on the pictures, by Mr. F. T. Palgrave, are
addressed to an adult and cultured audience.... The literary
part of the volume deserves more careful consideration than
is usually accorded to letterpress penned to accompany even
high-class illustrations.”
The =Art Journal= says:—“A work which should be the most
popular, as it must be the handsomest, of Christmas books
bearing a religious character.... Twenty-four wonderful little
chromo-lithographs from drawings made on the spot.... The
volume is in every way a beautiful one.”

Sixteenth Centuries.
