LIFE OF DICKENS. By FRANK T. MARZIALS.
“Notwithstanding the mass of matter that has been printed relating

removed by Mr. Marzials’s little book.”--_Athenæum._

whose greatness is to be measured by comparison with his successors,
is a piece of careful and critical composition, neat and nice in
style.”--_Daily News._
LIFE OF GEORGE ELIOT. By OSCAR BROWNING.
“A book of the character of Mr. Browning’s, to stand midway between
the bulky work of Mr. Cross and the very slight sketch of Miss Blind,
was much to be desired, and Mr. Browning has done his work with
vivacity, and not without skill.”--_Manchester Guardian._
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 Miss Austen.... His
little book upon her, just published by Walter Scott, is certainly a
fascinating book to those who already know her and love her well; and
we have little doubt that it will prove also a fascinating book to
those who have still to make her acquaintance.”--_Spectator._

“This little volume is a model of excellent English, and in every
respect it seems to us what a biography should be.”--_Public Opinion._

“The Hon. Roden Noel’s volume on Byron is decidedly one of the most
readable in the excellent ‘Great Writers’ series.”--_Scottish Leader._
LIFE OF HAWTHORNE. By MONCURE CONWAY.
“It is a delightful _causerie_--pleasant, genial talk about a most
interesting man. Easy and conversational as the tone is throughout, no
important fact is omitted, no valueless fact is recalled; and it is
entirely exempt from platitude and conventionality.”--_The Speaker._
LIFE OF SCHOPENHAUER. By PROFESSOR WALLACE.
“We can speak very highly of this little book of Mr. Wallace’s. It
is, perhaps, excessively lenient in dealing with the man, and it
cannot be said to be at all ferociously critical in dealing with the
philosophy.”--_Saturday Review._
LIFE OF SHERIDAN. By LLOYD SANDERS.
“To say that Mr. Lloyd Sanders, in this little volume, has produced
the best existing memoir of Sheridan, is really to award much fainter
praise than the work deserves.”--_Manchester Examiner._
LIFE OF THACKERAY. By HERMAN MERIVALE and F. T. MARZIALS.
“The monograph just published is well worth reading, ... and the book,
with its excellent bibliography, is one which neither the student nor
the general reader can well afford to miss.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
LIFE OF CERVANTES. By W. E. WATTS.
“We can commend this book as a worthy addition to the useful series to
which it belongs.”--_London Daily Chronicle._

Vols., in Case, 17/6; in Half Morocco, in Case, 32/6.
“_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.
Vol. II. “GHOSTS,” “AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE,” and “THE WILD DUCK.” With
an Introductory Note.
Vol. III. “LADY INGER OF ÖSTRÅT,” “THE VIKINGS AT HELGELAND,” “THE
PRETENDERS.” With an Introductory Note and Portrait of Ibsen.
Vol. IV. “EMPEROR AND GALILEAN.” With an Introductory Note by WILLIAM
ARCHER.
Vol. V. “ROSMERSHOLM,” “THE LADY FROM THE SEA,” “HEDDA GABLER.”
Translated by WILLIAM ARCHER. With an Introductory Note.
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_.

THE
Music of the Poets:
A MUSICIANS’ BIRTHDAY BOOK.
EDITED BY ELEONORE D’ESTERRE KEELING.
This is a unique Birthday Book. Against each date are given the names
of musicians whose birthday it is, together with a verse-quotation
appropriate to the character of their different compositions
or performances. A special feature of the book consists in the
reproduction in fac-simile of autographs, and autographic music, of
living composers. Three sonnets by Mr. Theodore Watts, on the “Fausts”
of Berlioz, Schumann, and Gounod, have been written specially for this
volume. It is illustrated with designs of various musical instruments,
etc.; autographs of Rubenstein, Dvorâk, Grieg, Mackenzie, Villiers
Stanford, etc., etc.
“To musical amateurs this will certainly prove the most attractive
birthday book ever published.”--_Manchester Guardian_.
“One of those happy ideas that seems to have been yearning for
fulfilment.... The book ought to have a place on every music
stand.”--_Scottish Leader_.
