A Tale.

By Mrs.

"A sound and intelligent book. We can conscientiously recommend it. We have gone through it with interest, and are perfectly certain that those of our readers who may peruse it, especially such as have children, will thank us for drawing attention to a work so innocently amusing and pleasantly instructive. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it one of the best works of its kind."-Churchman's Magazine,

THE HAYMAKERS' HISTORIES. Twelve Cantos in Terza Rima. By RUTHER. 12mo, price 4s.

"This is a scholarly little book, sweet as a meadow at haytime, and full of summer influences. We confess this little volume excites our curiosity; and as to the writer, the skill with which the metre is carried through, the almost immaculate correctness of the rhymes, and the equality of strength which pervades the whole, would indicate a poet of some standing, although the style resembles none that we remember. Really, an imitation of some of Crabbe's works becomes in his hands a poem as dainty and fanciful as the garden scenes of Queen Fiametta in the Decamerone."Athenæum.

"Many a faithful miniature of healthy rustic life."-Westminster Review. "The bard often rises to the fervour and dignity of a true poet of nature and the heart."-Dublin Advertiser.

"Rather an ingenious attempt to attain a chief result of double entry, by t
extension of the system of single entry, intended chiefly for retail dealers and
those who do not or cannot employ a book-keeper. Each person must, of
course, apply the system for himself, modifying the theory to his own case
and by a close attention to the book, he may be able suficiently to master ils
principles to do so."-Spectator.

THE FIRST BOOK OF THE PIANOFORTE, with Exercises on Fingering and Questions. By E. F. RIMBAULT. 1s. 6d.

"An admirable little manual, embodying in as small a space as possible, consistent with completeness, a comprehensive outline of all the elements of modern pianoforte-playing. The editor has shown good judgment in excluding the question-and-answer form in which most of the treatises of the kind are written, for the old method certainly tended to put that which ought to be an agreeable introduction to one of the most delightful arts too much in the shape of a task and a work of dry labour. A number of examination questions are, however, added at the end, with references to the page in the body of the work where the subject will be found fully explained, which will no doubt satisfy those who think differently, while it will enable those who are less accustomed to tuition to examine young beginners in a progressive and perspicuous manner."-Guardian.

Cheap Editions, 6d. and 3d.

"A volume got up in excellent taste, and written in a right spirit; critical so far as criticism could be allowed, but always suggestive, and testing opinions by reference to principles. As if to perfect the interest of the work, its fifty-six illustrative engravings have all been executed by women; and some amateurs, Lady Callcott and Lady Palgrave amongst others, have gracefully contributed drawings, and thus associated their names with their sister artists. The work is professedly a guide-book, and excellent in its way; it is also a handsome volume for a drawing-room table, and worthy an honoured place on every lady's library-shelves."-Athenæum.

By FELIX SUMMERLY. New Edition, numerous Illustrations, 18.

"Decidedly the best popular guide to the picturesque beauties of Hampton Court of any extant. The writer possesses a discriminating judgment in matters of art, and a keen relish for the beauties of nature; and the circulation of this pretty little book will contribute to the enjoyment of the visitors, and the improvement of public taste."-Spectator.

HAND-BOOK OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY.

FELIX SUMMERLY. With Fifty Illustrations drawn expressly from the originals by Messrs. John James and William Linnell. 12mo, sewed, cheap edition, 6d.

The representations in this edition of the National Gallery have been limited to the smallest practicable scale, varying somewhat according to the character of the pictures. The aim has been to give the general character and feeling of the originals, avoiding as of secondary importance the "finish" of modern engravings. They are essentially painters' woodcuts, and in that respect their merits are analogous to those of painters' etchings. They have been pronounced by the highest judges to be really excellent works of Art, of their class.

A few copies of the early edition, best impressions. Price 18.

"It is quite a rarity to meet with notes on modern foreign authors conveying so much explanatory information in so small a space, and such excellent renderings of idiomatic passages, which, even if easy to translate word for word, are not so easy to put into good English."— Athenæum.
