INTERESTING BOOKS ON LONDON.
LONDON LETTERS, and Some Others. By GEORGE W. SMALLEY, London
Correspondent of the _New York Tribune_. Two Volumes. 8vo, Cloth,
Uncut Edges and Gilt Tops, $6 00.
Have an enduring value for the twofold reason that they discuss
public men and events of so high an order of interest that they
cannot soon fade from the public eye, and that the literary nature
of them is strong and charming.--_N. Y. Sun._
LITERARY LANDMARKS OF LONDON. By LAURENCE HUTTON, Author of "Literary
Landmarks of Edinburgh." (New Edition.) With over 70 Portraits.
Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75.
We say of this edition what we said of the first--that it is
deliciously filled with delicious things.--_Independent_, N. Y.
Mr. Hutton's book is accepted as an authority by the best educated
Londoners, and it should be in the hands of every American who goes
for the first time to visit the city by the Thames.--_Boston
Beacon._
LONDON: a Pilgrimage. Illustrations by GUSTAVE DORÉ. Letter-press by
BLANCHARD JERROLD. Folio, Cloth, $5 00.
The highways and byways of London offered as appropriate a
provocation for the exercise of Doré's weird and grotesque
imagination as this powerful artist had already found in Dante's
"Inferno," Rabelais, the "Legend of the Wandering Jew," and the
other works familiar to the public in his illustrated editions.
FIFTY YEARS AGO. By WALTER BESANT. With a Portrait and Characteristic
Illustrations by Cruikshank and others. 8vo, Cloth, $2 50.
The book is no mere _ephemera_ which we examine casually and then
forget; it presents to the eye and photographs upon the mind a
distinct and vital picture of the social, political, religious, and
literary world of half a century ago.--_Critic_, N. Y.
LONDON. By WALTER BESANT. Illustrated. Crown 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental.
