Leigh's A Town Garland.

With a Note on

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 fun and tenderness of the conception, of which no living man but Mark Twain is capable, its grace and fantasy and slyness, the wonderful feeling for animals that is manifest in every line, make of all this episode of Fim Baker and his jays a piece of work that is not only delightful as mere reading, but also of a high degree of merit as literature. The book is full of good things, and contains passages and episodes that are equal to the funniest of those that have gone before."-ATHENÆUM.
