JAPAN and the JAPANESE.

By AIMÉ HUMBERT, Envoy Extraordinary of the Swiss Confederation From the French, by Mrs. CASHEL HOEY, and Edited by W. H. BATES, Assistant-Secretary to the Royal Geographical Society. In royal 4to. handsomely bound in cloth, with 207 Illustrations from Drawings by Italian and French Artists, and Sketches from Photographs, 428.

"Full of admirable illustrations. You can scarcely turn a page without coming upon one or two, and they are all drawings of high artistic merit. The sketches are manifestly taken from the life. You see the Japanese in the streets and in the country, worshipping in the temple, and figuring as judge or criminal in the Courts of Justice. Peasant, noble, priest, lady, soldier, doctor, as you look through the pages you unroll a complete panorama of Japanese life."-Guardian.

The

LIFE and WORK of THOR

VALDSEN. From the French, by Mrs CASHEL HOEY. In
imperial 8vo. with numerous Illustrations, 258.
"Thorvaldsen,' by Eugène Plon, translated by Mrs. Cashel Hoey,
is worthy of the illustrious artist of whose life and works it treats.
The author has keen sympathy with, and admiration for, the cha-
racter of Thorvaldsen, and, in interpreting his works, displays ample
knowledge and critical and artistic culture. The text is illustrated by
two exquisite copper-plate engravings-Thorvaldsen's Venus and Mer-
cury, and a large number of woodcuts."-Globe.

"A very handsome volume."-Daily News.

"It would be difficult to produce a better book of its kind than M. Plon's Thorvaldsen,' translated-and very brightly translated-by Mrs. Cashel Hoey. The life of the great Scandinavian sculptor was essentially worthy of being put on record, and M. Plon has proved in this volume how well he was fitted for a task from which many men might shrink."-Standard.

of GREGORY the

LIFE
SEVENTH. By M. VILLEMAIN, of the French Academy.
Translated by JAMES BABER BROCKLEY. In 2 vols. 8vo. 268.
M. Villemain's Life of Gregory the Seventh' occupied the learned
author's thoughts and leisure during many years of his life, and was
left complete at his death. During the disastrous days of the first
siege of Paris, the MS. was removed, for safe keeping, to Angers. At
the Capitulation of Paris it was brought back to the capital, and housed
in the Rue de Lille, where it narrowly escaped the flames kindled by
the Commune, the next house being burnt to the ground.

and LETTERS, from the PEACE of AMIENS to the BATTLE of
TALAVERA. Edited by Lady JACKSON. 2 vols. 8vo. 308.

Sir George Jackson drew pen-and-ink sketches of the royal and illustrious personages with whom he was mixed up; he narrated the progress of negotiations; he repeated the current anecdotes; he described the passing manners, morals, and fashions; he fixed the Cynthias of the minute; and future historians will turn to him, as we now turn to Pepys, for the traits and touches which constitute the charm of history."-Quarterly Review, April, 1872.

"Encore un de ces récits détaillés de nos guerres en Allemagne particulièrement de la campagne de 1806, que l'attention publique recherche avec une curiosité renouvelée, et qui abondent en contrastes, en sujets de comparaisons et d'enseignemens. Sir George et son frère aîné sont deux diplomates anglais militans qui, dans une série de lettres à leur mère ou entre eux racontent jour par jour la période agitée de 1801 à 1809. Sir George, par mission spéciale, reste en Prusse après Iéna, il assiste au bombardement de Copenhague en 1807; sa correspondance se termine par le récit des guerres d'Espagne. D'intéressans épisodes, agréablement décrits avec des couleurs nouvelles ont fait beaucoup remarquer ces volumes."

"The Bath Archives' abound in interest."-Times.
"It is hardly possible to exaggerate the utility of notes made on the
spot by a gentleman of so much ability, and possessing such opportuni-
ties of learning, not only the facts, but the feeling of society and of
diplomatists concerning those facts. There is, too, a marvellous
amount of social interest in these handsome volumes. Those who care
for the details of history will find here a mine well worthy of their
attention, and readers for amusement will be both pleased and in-
structed."-Standard.
