From the SPECTATOR.
"When we observe a lady novelist making steady progress,
and profiting by the remarks of her critics to cultivate the
qualities and avoid the defects which they have descried in her
first efforts, we watch her career with interest and expectation,
and are happy to put its steps in advance on record. Miss
Katharine King is among the small number of novelists who
do not disdain advice. Her present work is a much better
novel than 'Lost for Gold.'....The plot is very original, and
the atmosphere of the story is healthy, full of breezy, open-air
life, of cheerfulness, and harmless fun."

ARLON GRANGE.

"Mr. Gibbs has a story to tell, and he wishes to tell it in his own way....Arlon Grange' is written with power, and contains many passages of not a little beauty, while the sentiment that runs through the story is thoroughly healthy." Saturday Review.

"This is a very beautiful edition of the charming poem of 'Arlon Grange.' The exquisite embellishment conferred upon the work is in itself a strong material proof of the wide-spread recognition of the poetic merits of the author. These are now enshrined in a book which may be fairly classed as a leading gem of the season."-Morning Post.

"Mr. Gibbs is an earnest student of human life, and works out an interesting series of actions and their sequences by means of his story of 'Arlon Grange.' 'The Legend of the Castle by the Sea' is as good as any of Lewis's tales of wonder, and cannot fail to become a favourite."-King of Arms.

"One of the richest specimens of the binder's art that we have seen. The theme of 'Arlon Grange' is thoroughly in one with the season; it is a genial Christmas legend, with the fiery cross carried emblematically on its cover, and impressed transiently on its pages."-Examiner.

"We must not tell the story; but it is one so well told as to draw on those who once begin it to the very end."

Literary World.

"Arlon Grange' has the same purity and beauty of rhythm as 'Harold Erle'; and whilst advising our readers to study the story for themselves, we take the liberty of quoting one of the many beautiful lyrics contained in the volume."

Leeds Mercury.

"The variety of incident makes the book attractive to those who weary of didactic poems; and the scene of the moonlight duel is a fine descriptive passage, in the author's best manner." Illustrated Review.

"We must congratulate the author on having given us a work which has been carefully thought out, and which is at the same time well constructed and wittily told. His verse has the true ring, and his present volume is a welcome addition to the literature of the age. There is, above all, in 'Arlon Grange' a fine tone of Anglo-Saxon vigour, free from that unwholesome sensualism which too often infects the poetry of the period."-Hour.

"We hope Mr. Gibbs will not take it as an unmeaning compliment when we say that his poem fully deserves such a splendid binding."-Westminster Review.

"The two poems are full of poetic beauty and noble sentiment. The first story has all the interest of a novel, and would have made three good volumes."-Christian World.

"These quotations show that Mr. Gibbs's talent has suffered no diminution since he charmed the public with 'The Story of a Life.'"-Northampton Mercury.

"A graceful and artistic story, full of tender and poetic fancies, as well as kindly and wise thoughts."-Standard.

"The purpose of the author is obviously noble; he shows in the successive cantos the sanctity and dignity of work, the sustaining force of a true and pure love, and the victory of faith. We admire some of the lyrics introduced into the narrative exceedingly."-British Quarterly Review.

"The Christmas Legend' displays powers of a very high order; there is an ease and harmony about the lines, a lofty tone of thought, and a skill in constructing the story, which few who are now-a-days called poets have been able to attain." Land and Water.

BEAUTIFULLY PRINTED OLD REPRINTS. MUSARUM DELICIÆ; or, the Muses'

Recreation, 1656; Wit Restored, 1658; and Wit's Recreation, 1640. A New Edition. In 2 vols. large fcap 8vo. beautifully printed on antique laid paper, and bound in antique boards, 218. A few LargePaper Copies have been prepared, price 358.

**Of the Poets of the Restoration, there are none whose works are more rare than those of Sir John Mennis and Dr. James Smith. The small volume, entitled Musarum Delicia; or, the Muses' Recreation,' which contains the productions of these two friends, was not accessible to Mr. Freeman when he compiled his 'Kentish Poets,' and has since become so rare that it is only found in the cabinets of the curious. A reprint of the Musarum Delicia,' together with several other kindred pieces of the period, appeared in 1817, forming two volumes of facetiæ, edited by Mr. E. Dubois, author of The Wreath,' &c. These volumes having in turn become exceedingly scarce, the Publishers venture to put forth the present new edition, in which, while nothing has been omitted, no pains have been spared to render it more complete and elegant than any that has yet appeared. The type, plates, and woodcuts of the originals have been accurately followed; the notes of the editor of 1817 are considerably augmented, and indexes have been added; together with a portrait of Sir John Mennis, from a painting by Vandyke in Lord Clarendon's Collection.

D'URFEY'S (TOM) WIT and MIRTH;

or, Pills to Purge Melancholy. Being a Collection of the best Merry Ballads and Songs, Old and New, fitted to all Humours, having each their Proper Tune for either Voice or Instrument, most of the Songs being New Set. An exact and beautiful Reprint of this much-prized Work, with the Music to the Songs, just as in the Rare Original. In 6 vols. large fcap. 8vo. antique boards, beautifully printed on laid paper, made expressly for the Work, price 31. 38.

** The Pills to Parge Melancholy' have now retained their celebrity for a century and a half. The difficulty of obtaining a copy has of late years raised sets to a fabulous price, and has made even odd volumes costly. Considering the classical reputation which the book has thus obtained, and its very high interest as illustrative of the manners, customs, and amusements of English life during the halfcentury following the Restoration, no apology is needed for placing such a work more within the reach of general readers and students by re-issuing it for the first time since its original appearance, and at about a tithe of the price for which the old edition could now be obtained.

For Drinking-Songs and Love-Songs, Sprightly Ballads, Merry Stories, and Political Squibs, there are none to surpass these in the Language.

"Nothing among the Christmas books which have come before us is more interesting than these etchings on the Mosel. We feel that we do the artist but scant justice in classifying his work among a host of volumes which, meritorious as they are in a strictly Christmas point of view, show no great original or artistic power. This book is scarcely a book to give away; it is something better-it is a book to keep."

Saturday Review.

"These etchings will afford much gratification to all who feel an interest in the Mosel. The author is evidently a lover of art, and testifies to the pleasure he has experienced in etching. That feeling of satisfaction will be reproduced in the minds of all who survey these beautiful etchings. The descriptive accounts are very good, and add much to the artistic value of the work."-Morning Post.

"I call Mr. George's work precious, chiefly because it indicates an intense perception of points of character in architecture, and a sincere enjoyment of them for their own sake. He might etch a little summer tour for us every year, and give permanent and exquisite record of a score of scenes, rich in historical interest, with no more pains than he has spent on one or two of these plates in drawing the dark sides of a wall."

John Ruskin.

"Not the least pleasant books are those which conjure up reminiscences of past travel; and one of the best of these-a piece of true artistic work-is 'Etchings on the Mosel.' Mr. George has caught, with great skill, some of the choicest bits of these old-world towns-the convent towers and walls-the quaint old mansions, their high-peaked roofs-their upper stories-their dark beams, &c. The letter-press is just what is needed to explain the etchings."-Graphic.

"A set of plates which give a lively and attractive idea of the strange, quaint, venerable buildings which seem, by the subtle influence of time, to have become almost one with the beautiful scenes of nature in the midst of which they are placed."-Daily News.

"Etchings on the Mosel' is the work of an architect, for whom, if he can originate as well as he can select, we would predict a distinguished future. We shall not readily forget this volume of twenty views, one and all of which speak for themselves."-Standard.

"Mr. George has chosen his subjects from Metz, Thionville, Trèves, and other places lower down the Mosel, including the wonderful castle of Elz, with a thorough regard both to general effect and to the peculiar demands of etching. The letter-press is a brief and intelligent comment."-Guardian.

"This is a very beautiful book. The etchings seem to us singularly fine, at once delicate and effective. It is difficult to select any where all are so attractive. But it is impossible to enumerate the beauties of this volume. The reader with a taste for art must get it and study minutely and at leisure its various plates. It is one of the most attractive volumes that we have seen."-Spectator.
