LECTURES ON THE EARLY GREEK PHILOSOPHY, AND OTHER PHILOSOPHIC REMAINS OF PROFESSOR FERRIER OF ST ANDREWS. Edited by SIR ALEX. GRANT and PROFESSOR LUSHINGTON. 2 vols. post 8vo, 24s.

"These Lectures, in so far as they treat of Greek philosophy down to Plato, have been carefully elaborated, and are of much value-of higher value, indeed, than any writings on the same subiect in the English language; and in point of clearness, depth, and resolute search after truth, and tenacious hold of it when found, we doubt if they are surpassed in any language.. For our part, we do not know any philosophical writings so fascinating to a young student of philosophy as these early pages"-Scotsman.

By GOETHE. Translated into English Verse by THEODORE MARTIN.
Second Edition, post 8vo, price 6s.

"The best translation of Faust' in verse we have yet had in England."-Spectator.

ESSAYS ON SOCIAL SUBJECTS.

Originally published in the 'Saturday Review.' First and Second
Series. Post Svo, 7s. 6d. each.

"Two remarkable volumes of occasional papers, 'Essays on Social Subjects, contributed to the Saturday Review' (Blackwood), are far above the average of such miscellanies. They are the production of a keen and kindly observer of men and manners, and they display a subtle analysis of character, as well as a breadth of observation, which are remarkable. With much of occasional force, these Essays have sufficient solidity to make a book; and while they recall the wit of Montaigne and the playfulness of Addison, they are animated by a better moral tone, and cover a large range of experience."-Christian Remembrancer.

"We certainly never saw a more damaging exposure, and it is something worth notice that much of it appeared in Blackwood's Magazine' during the lifetime of Lord Macaulay, but he never attempted to make any reply.
