With a brief Commentary by the Author. With Photographic

Jennings' The Rosicrucians:

Their Rites and Mysteries. With Chapters on the Ancient Fire and Serpent Worshippers, and Explanations of the Mystic Symbols represented in the Monuments and Talismans of the Primæval Philosophers. By HARGRAVE JENNINGS. With Five full-page Plates and upwards of 300 Illustrations.

"Mr. Hargrave Jennings is well known for his research in matters of antiquity and folk-lore, and he claims for his work that it is the first impartially written explanatory history of the alchemical philosophers since the days of James 1. and Charles I. The book has been compiled in a very interesting manner, is well illustrated with the majestic symbols of the order, and may be described as one of those volumes which may be taken up and dipped into at random for half-anhour's reading, or, on the other hand, appealed to by the student as a source of valuable information on a system which has not only exercised for hundreds of years an extraordinary influence on the mental development of so shrewd a people as the Jews, but has captivated the minds of some of the greatest thinkers of Christendom in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries."-LEEDS MERCURY.

And other Fairy Stories. By BRIDGET and JULIA KAVANAGH.
With Thirty Illustrations by J. MOYR SMITH.

"Genuine new fairy stories of the old type, some of them as delightful as the best of Grimm's German Popular Stories.'. For the most part, the stories are downright, thorough-going fairy stories of the most admirable kind. Mr. Moyr Smith's illustrations, too, are admirable."-SPECTATor.

"A complete edition of Lamb's writings, in prose and verse, has long been wanted, and is now supplied.

Lamont's Yachting in the Arctic Seas;

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

Or, Notes of Five Voyages of Sport and Discovery in the Neighbourhood of Spitzbergen and Novaya Zemlya. By JAMES LAMONT, F.R.G.S. With numerous full-page Illustrations by Dr. LIVESAY. After wading through numberless volumes of icy fiction, concocted narrative, and spurious biography of Arctic voyagers, it is pleasant to meet with a real and genuine volume. He shows much tact in recounting his adventures, and they are so interspersed with anecdotes and information as to make them anything but wearisome. The book, as a whole, is the most important addition made

to our Arctic literature for a long time."-ATHENÆUM.

Leigh's A Town Garland.

66

BY HENRY S. LEIGH, Author of "Carols of Cockayne."

If Mr. Leigh's verse survive to a future generation—and there is no reason why that honour should not be accorded productions so delicate, so finished, and so full of humour-their author will probably be remembered as the Poet of the Strand. Very whimsically does Mr. Leigh treat the subjects which commend themselves to him. His verse is always admirable in rhythm, and his rhymes are happy enough to deserve a place by the best of Barham. The entire contents of the volume are equally noteworthy for humour and for daintiness of workmanship."--ATHENÆUM.

SECOND EDITION.-Crown 8vo, cloth extra, with Illustrations, ios. 6d.

Leisure-Time Studies, chiefly Biological.

By ANDREW WILSON, Ph.D., Lecturer on Zoology and Comparative Anatomy in the Edinburgh Medical School.

"It is well when we can take up the work of a really qualified investigator, who, in the intervals of his more serious professional labours, sets himself to impart knowledge in such a simple and elementary form as may attract and instruct, with no danger of misleading the tyro in natural science. Such a work is this little volume, made up of essays and addresses written and delivered by Dr. Andrew Wilson, lecturer and examiner in science at Edinburgh and Glasgow, at leisure intervals in a busy professional life. Dr. Wilson's pages teem with matter stimulating to a healthy love of science and a reverence for the truths of nature.”SATURDAY REVIEW.

Longfellow's Poetical Works.

"Mr. Longfellow has for many years been the best known and the most read of American poets; and his popularity is of the right kind, and rightly and fairly He has not stooped to catch attention by artifice, nor striven to force it by violence. His works have faced the test of parody and burlesque (which in these days is almost the common lot of writings of any mark), and have come off un

Lunatic Asylum, My Experiences in a.

By a SANE PATIENT.

"The story is clever and interesting, sad beyond measure though the subject be. There is no personal bitterness, and no violence or anger. Whatever may have been the evidence for our author's madness when he was consigned to an asylum, nothing can be clearer than his sanity when he wrote this book; it is bright, calm, and to the point."-SPECtator.

[In preparation. Pictures and Legends from Normandy and Brittany. By KATHARINE S. MACQUOID. With numerous Illustrations by T. R. MACQUOID. Square 8vo, cloth gilt, 10s. 6d.

"Mr. and Mrs. Macquoid have been strolling in Normandy and Brittany, and the result of their observations and researches in that picturesque land of romantic associations is an attractive volume, which is neither a work of travel nor a collection of stories, but a book partaking almost in equal degree of each of these characters. The illustrations, which are numerous, are drawn, as a rule, with remarkable delicacy as well as with true artistic feeling."-DAILY NEWS.

Through Normandy. By KATHARINE S. MACQUOID. With 90 Illustrations by T. R. MACQUOID. Square 8vo, cloth extra, 7s. 6d. "The illustrations are excellent, and the work is pleasant as well as accurate."- ATHENEUM.

Is Life Worth Living ? By WILLIAM HURRELL MALLOCK.
Demy 8vo, cloth extra, 12s. 6d.

46

Deeply philosophical as the book is, there is not a heavy page in it. The writer is possessed,' so to speak, with his great subject, has sounded its depths, surveyed it in all its extent, and brought to bear on it all the resources of a vivid, rich, and impassioned style, as well as an adequate acquaintance with the science, the philosophy, and the literature of the day."-Irish Daily News. The New Republic; or, Culture, Faith, and Philosophy in an English Country House. By WILLIAM HURRELL MALLOCK. Post 8vo, cloth limp (a volume of the "Mayfair Library"), 2s. 6d.

Poems. By WILLIAM HURRELL MALLOCK. Small 4to, bound in parchment, 8s.

"There is that in all his poetry which marks the true singer, and we sincerely trust that Mr. Mallock has not definitively hung up his harp. The world may give us many philosophers; it is but seldom that we can hail a poet."-WHITEHALL REVIEW.
