WITH ONE HUNDRED ILLUSTRATIONS

By C. O. MURRAY, Engraved by R. PATERSON.

The Scotsman says:- -"Mr. Ascott R. Hope has undertaken a task which ought to win for him more favour than he has hitherto received, great though the amount may have been. In a book entitled 'Stories of Long Ago,' he has undertaken to rewrite several tales from the Gesta Romanorum and other like works, and he has done what to many people must have seemed difficult of accomplishment-he has made them extremely interesting. There are twenty-two tales in the book, and all of them are well told and admirably illustrated. The illustrations are from designs by Mr.

C. O. Murray, whose ability as an illustrator of books is being more and more shown. Few men indeed, have made greater way in this respect than he has. The volume will stand in singular and good relief to many of the ordinary publications at this time of the year. It will have a genuine and permanent value. It is handsomely got up."

Super-royal 8vo, cloth elegant, sunk centre, 12s.

The Illustrated London News says:-"A pretty book of English Lake Scenery."

The Scotsman says:—“The volume is beautifully got up, and will make one of the most charming

of all book presents for Christmas time."

The Daily Chronicle says:-" An exquisite book for the drawing-room table, whose coloured illustrations are charming in the extreme."
