MR. ANTHONY TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL. Now Ready at all the Libraries, in 1 vol. 10s. 6d.

"The Story of a Life' is marked by touches of unmistakable genius, graces of poetic imagination, refinement, and taste. Many passages have in them the true and undoubted ring of poetry in the very highest sense; lofty, pure thoughts clothed in words of melody and strength. The reader's attention will be caught at once, and riveted to the very end of the poem. To write smooth, flowing, pointed blank verse is a far more difficult attainment than may be supposed: Mr. Tennyson is a master among the few modern posts who have at all reached it; and it is no small praise to say that many pages in this

book remind us of the Laureate's most finished verse.”— Standard.

"A book which is full of vigorous and graceful writing, which breathes a hopeful and manly spirit, and which paints domestic life in the most winning colours."-London Review. "In The Story of a Life' is painted as fair and happy a home-scene as could well be pictured. The author has the talent of expressing his thoughts and feelings in words that cannot fail to touch the hearts of his readers."

"We are grateful to Herr Hesekiel for the absence of any theory to which every fact could be referred, and for the plain, straightforward narrative, so unusual in German biographies. ..Taking these letters and contrasting them with the public acts of the man, we have a very singular character before us. The freshness and openness of all this life is its most significant feature."-Athenæum.

"Herr Hesekiel and his translator deserve from the British public a hearty vote of thanks for placing within easy reach the materials for a complete and just view of a statesman whom it is becoming ever more necessary that we should understand."-Daily Telegraph.
