GARDEN.

By WILLIAM DAVIES, Author of 'Songs of a Wayfarer,' &c. "Mr. Davies's songs are such as Izaak Walton's milkmaid might bave sung to Piscator and Venator when they were returning through meadows after their day's fishing. ...The melodies are as charming as they are varied, and the descriptions are full of the sweetness, vitality, and movement of country sights and sounds.....The volume is delightful."- Daily News.

The songs and madrigals are so fresh, so musical, they breathe the very spirit of pastoral life, and are so thoroughly spontaneous, that there is never the least suspicion of affectation."-Graphic. "Many of the shorter pieces would have a charming effect set to music by Mr. Sullivan or Signor Pinsuti, and sung by Mr. Leslie's choir."- Athenæum.

srightness colour, purity, and freshness, with something of the innocent mirth of children on a May morning, are eminently the characteristics of this dainty volume, whilst the form and type of expresshare so distinctly those of the Elizabethan men. that were the verses read aloud, the chances are that the listener would imagine that he had heard all the cadences before, and was being entertained with the repetition of something he knew perfectly well. They are full of high feeling, of purity, and of refinement "-Manchester Courier. This very delightful book."-Evening Standard.

"A more geunine, poetic region than the Shepherd's Garden' we have seldom entered; its flowers are precious gems, its bowers are ca'in and clas-ic shades"-Literary World.

Very charming and sweet "-Figaro.

THE LETTER-BOOKS of SIR AMIAS

POULET, Keeper of Mary Queen of Scots. Edited by JOHN MORRIS, Priest of the Society of Jesus.

Sir Amias Poulet had charge of the Queen of Scots from April, 1585, to the time of her death, February 8, 1587. His Correspondence with Lord Treasurer Burghley and Sir Francis Walsingham enters into the details of her life in captivity at Tutbury, Chartley, and Fotheringay. Many of the letters now published are entirely unknown, being printed from a recently-discovered Manuscript. The others have been taken from the originals at the Public Record Office and the British Museum. The Letters are strung together by a running commentary, in the course of which several of Mr. Froude's statements are examined, and the question of Mary's complicity in the plot against Elizabeth's life is discussed.

"All Souls has sent forth from its College walls in every age an ample supply of men who have done good service in a great variety of departments in Church and State. To bring these out into clear relief, to show what manner of men they were, the ways and habits, the struggles and difficulties of the society in which they were nurtured, has been the object of Mr. Burrows, and he has fulfilled it, not only in a most complete, but also in a most agreeable fashion..... It is a most amusing and instructive book. While it throws a flood of light, which the historical student will eagerly welcome, on some obscure passages and some famous personages, it is at the same time so lightly and smoothly written, that the general reader, if he once takes it up, will not find it easy to lay it down till he has finished it."-Guardian.

THE NEW NOVELS,

AT EVERY LIBRARY.

JOHNNY LUDLOW.

At every Library, in 3 vols. crown 8vo.

"It is an agreeable change to come upon a book like 'Johnny Ludlow. There is considerable merit in the stories. There is a certain freshness of description in the scenes of country life and country people, which is an agreeable change after the ordinary sensational novel. Johnny Ludlow's character is very well drawn-the quiet, gentle lad who was 'always reading people's faces, and taking likes and dislikes accordingly.'"-Saturday Review.

"The stories are fresh, lively, and vigorous in point of style, full of clever dialogue, and printed with common-sense, as well as sound, healthful, and moral tone. A vein of truthfulness, of picturesque description, heightened by touches of pathos and real humour, runs through them all... Masterly in skill. They will meet with a ready welcome."-Standard

"The author has given proof of a rarer dramatic instinct than we had suspected among our living writers of fiction. It is not possible, by means of extracts, to convey any adequate sense of the humour, the pathos, the dramatic power, and graphic description of this book." Nonconformist.

"These three volumes contain a series of tales each connected one with the other, which are full of interest. "Johnny "is capital, his descriptions are humorous, vigorous, and full of force, and his pictures of rustic life and character are evidently true portraits The book is one which deserves to be read as a very clever and amusing collection of stories."- Vanity Fair.

"The author attains to genuine pathos. A considerable sense of humour is displayed."-Athenæum.

FLORENCE MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL.

NO INTENTION S.

By FLORENCE MARRYAT,
Author of 'Love's Conflict,'' Mad Dumaresq.'
At every Library, in 3 vols. crown 8vo.

"A clever novel. We wish that there were more writers like Florence Marryat, to describe for us in bright, racy novels like 'No Intentions."" Morning Post.

**Mrs. Ross Church has merits as a novel writer which give her an advantage over many of her competitors. She can work up her mysteries skilfully enough to excite the interest of her readers. Such a story as this is greatly relished by the reader."-Pall Mall Gazette.

BY THE AUTHOR OF ‘LOST SIR MASSINGBERD.'

AT

HER

MERCY.

At every Library, in 3 vols. crown 8vo.

"Contains many pleasant, lively, telling descriptions both of persons and of scenes, many laughter-moving remarks and situations, and an undercurrent of genuine, genial, and perfectly natural humanity. The heroine's character alone is sufficient to cover a multitude of faults, it is conceived and treated with so faithful an appreciation of what is truly feminine and lovable."-Pall Mall Gazette. "The author of Lost Sir Massingberd' has a keen sense of humour and quick perception of character, and a certain freshness of style which is remarkable in a writer of such unbounded fertility. We doubt whether Mr. Wilkie Collins could manage to dovetail together a number of characters and incidents more skilfully."

Saturday Review.

"To say of At Her Mercy' that it is amusing, is to give an idea of its character at once true, and yet not quite just; for the plot is of a grave and even tragic character, and it has incident enough for two or three stories of a more economical kind. Nevertheless, it is on the amusing side of it that the book 18 remarkable, and that the author's increased facility for combining the realities of every-day life with the portentous events of which his stories are generally constructed, is evident."-Spectator.

"No book of travel within our knowledge is pleasanter to read than Mrs. Guthrie's Through Russia. It is fresh, bright, and comprehensive. Mrs. Guthrie gives us admirable descriptions of Petersburg, Moscow, and Astrakhan, and the voyages on the Volga and the Don are full of incident, character, and observation."-Spectator.

"A pleasant book to read. It contains a fair, and often very picturesque description of a part of Russia by no means familiar to tourists." Saturday Review.

"A very notable record of a most remarkable journey. It is right well worthy of perusal."-Standard.

Azamat Batuk fills his pages with his personal experiences among the armed factions who are contesting the government of the country, and describes the men who have made themselves conspicuous. Altogether his gallery of contemporary portraits is alone sufficient to recommend his book."-Saturday Review.

"By the aid of this really entertaining book, the present state of the Northern Provinces of Spain may be easily divined, and the cosas de España of the moment be brought before the mind's eye."--Athenæum. "A highly interesting and amusing book. In this work Azamat Batuk is more enjoyable and readable than ever."-Examiner.
