the narrative so keenly satirises. Most telling and characteristic illustrations, from the pencil of Alfred Crowquill, are lavishly sprinkled throughout the volume, and the whole getting up entitles it to rank as a gift book worthy of special notice."-English Churchman. "The public, to their sorrow, have not seen much of Alfred Crowquill lately; but we are glad to find him in the field again, with the story of the Gooroo Simple.' The book is most excellent fooling, but contains, besides, a mine of recondite Oriental lore, necessitating even the addition of notes and a glossary; and moreover, there is a vein of quiet philosophy running through it very pleasant to peruse."Illustrated London News. "The story is irresistibly funny, and is aided by fifty illustrations by Alfred Crowquill. The book is got up with that luxury of paper and type which is of itself, and in itself, a pleasure to look upon."-Globe. 12mo. "The book is amusing, and is, moreover, admirably illustrated by the gentleman known as Alfred Crowquill with no fewer than fifty comic woodcuts. It is no less admirably got up, and beautifully bound, and it will be most acceptable to a large portion of the public.”— Observer. Groves. JOHN GROVES. A Tale of the War. By S. E.

"This pleasant volume is got up in that style of imitation of the books of a century ago, which has of late become so much the vogue. The typographical and mechanical departments of the volume speak loudly for the taste and enterprise bestowed upon it. Simple in its style, pithy, reasonably pungent-the book smacks strongly of the picturesque old days of which it treats. A long study of the art-antiquities of Nürnberg, and a profound acquaintance with the records, letters, and memoirs, still preserved, of the times of Albert Durer and his great brother artists, have enabled the author to lay before us a forcibly-drawn and highly-finished picture of art and household life in that wonderfully art-practising aud art-reverencing old city of Germany."-Atlas. "A delicious little book. It is full of a quaint garrulity, and characterised by an earnest simplicity of thought and diction, which admirably conveys to the reader the household and artistic German life of the times of Maximilian, Albert Durer, and Hans Sachs, the celebrated cobbler and master singer,' as well as most of the artist celebrities of Nurnberg in the 16th century. Art is the chief end and aim of this little history. It is lauded and praised with a sort of unostentatious devotion, which explains the religious passion of the early moulders of the ideal and the beautiful; and, perhaps, through a consequent deeper concentration of thought, the secret of their success."-Weekly Dispatch. "A volume full of interest for the lover of old times; while the form in which it is presented to us may incite many to think of art and look into its many wondrous influences with a curious earnestness unknown to them before. It points a moral also, in the knowledge that a people may be brought to take interest in what is chaste and beautiful as in what is coarse and degrading.-Manchester Fxaminer. "To come to such writing as 'Hearts in Mortmain, and Cornelia' after the anxieties and roughness of our worldly struggle, is like bathing in fresh waters after the dust and heat of bodily exertion To a peculiar and attractive grace they join considerable dramatic power, and one or two of the characters are conceived and executed with real genius."-Prospective Review.

They well deserve to be read, and, if read, are sure to be admired. . Readers who find this vein of reading in their own humour-and there must be many such-will get the volume for themselves. Mr. Massey's poetry shows growth. Some of the finest and weakest productions of our generation may be found in this volume."-Athenaeum, August 17, 1861. The exception that we make is in favour of Gerald Massey. He has in him many of the elements of a true poet." - Patriot, August 22, 1861. "Gerald Massey has been heard of ere now as a poet. He has written verses with such touches of nature in them as reach the heart at once. Himself a child of labour, he has felt the labourer's sufferings, and uttered the labourer's plaint; but uttered in such tones as throughout the din of the mills were surely recognised as poetry."-The Nation, September 21, 1861. "Gerald Massey has a large and increasing public of his own. He is one of the most musical, and the most pure in thought, of all the large army of young bards who have so recently stared at little more than the sun and moon.

"Tyll's fame has gone abroad into all lands; this, the narrative of his exploits, has been published in innumerable editions, even with all manner of learned glosses, and translated into Latin, English, French, Dutch, Polish, etc. We may say that to few mortals has it been granted to earn such a place in universal history as Tyll for now, after five centuries, when Wallace's birthplace is unknown, even to the Scots, and the Admirable Crichton still more rapidly is grown a shadow, and Edward Longshanks sleeps unregarded, save by a few antiquarian English, Tyll's native village is pointed out with pride to the traveller, and his tombstone, with a sculptured pun on his name -namely, an Owl and a Glass, still stands, or pretends to stand, at Möllen, near Lübeck, where, since 1350, his once nimble bones have been at rest."-Thomas Carlyle's Essays, vol. ii. pp. 287, 288.

"The translation of Mr. Arnold has been held more truly to represent the spirit of Gothe's great poem than any other version of the legend. "There is no novelty, except to purchasers of Christmas books, in Kaulbach's admirable illustrations of the world-famous Reynard the Fox,' Among all the English translations Mr. T. J. Arnold holds at least his own, and we do not know that this edition, published by Trübner, with the Kaulbach engravings, reduced and faithfully rendered on wood, does not stand in the very first rank of the series we are commenting upon. Mr. Harrison Weir is a good artist, but in true comic power he is far inferior to Kaulbach. We do not see how this volume can, in its way, be excelled."-Saturday Review. "Göthe's Reinecke Fuchs' is a marvel of genius and poetic art. Reynard the Fox is more blessed than Alexander: his story has been written by one of the greatest of the human race, and another of inimitable genius has added to the poet's narrative the auxiliary light of the painter's skill. Perhaps no artistnot even our own Landseer, nor the French Gavarni-ever excelled Kaulbach in the art of infusing a human expression into the countenances and attributes of brutes; and this marvellous skill he has exerted in the highest degree in the illustrations to the book before us."-Illustrated News of the World. "The illustrations are unrivalled for their humour and mastery of expression and detail." -Economist. "Of all the numerous Christmas works which have been lately published, this is likely to be the most acceptable, not only as regards the binding, the print, and the paper, which are excellent, but also because it is illustrated with Kaulbach's celebrated designs."-Court Journl.

He undoubtedly possessed, in the highest degree, the power of appreciating artistic skill wherever it was met with, but never more so than when seen in the garb of antiquity. The work is of ; no common order,' and a careful study of the great principles embodied in it must necessarily tend to form a pure, correct, and elevated taste." Eclectic Review. . "The work is throughout lucid, and free from the pedantry of technicality. Its clearness constitutes its great charm. It does not discuss any one subject at great length, but aims at a general view of Art, with attention to its minute developments. It is, if we may use the phrase. a Grammar of Greek Art, a sine qua non to all who would thoroughly investigate its language of form." Literary World. Trübner & Co., 60, Paternoster Row. "Winckelmann is a standard writer, to whom most students of art have been more or less indebted. He possessed extensive information, a refined taste, and great zeal. His style is plain, direct, and specific, so that you are never at a loss for his meaning. Some very good outlines, representing fine types of Ancient Greek Art, illustrate the text, and the volume is got up in a style worthy of its subject."-Spectator. To all lovers of art, this volume will furnish the most necessary and safe guide in studying the pure principles of nature and beauty in creative art. We cannot wish better to English art than for a wide circulation of this invaluable work."-Standard of Freedom. "The mixture of the philosopher and 'artist in Winckelmann's mind gave it at once an ele 5 gance, penetration, and knowledge, which fitted him to a marvel for the task he undertook. Such a work ought to be in the library of every artist and man of taste, and even the most general reader will find in it much to instruct, and much to interest him."-Atlas.

Mr. Ravenstein has set himself a weighty task, and has performed it well. It is, we think, impossible to name any subject bearing upon the Amur, which is not considered in this volume." -Economist. "Mr. Ravenstein's work is worthy of high commendation. It throws much additional and interesting light on a country but comparatively little known."-Morning Advertiser. It is a perfect handbook of the Amur, and will be consulted by the historian, the politician, the geographer, the naturalist, the ethnologist, the merchant and the general reader, with equal interest and profit."-Colburn's New Monthly Magazine. "The most complete and comprehensive work on the Amur that we have seen."-New Quarterly Review. "The expectations excited by the announcement of this pregnant volume are amply fulfilled by its execution.... The book bears evidence in every page of the toil and conscientiousness of the author. It is packed full with valuable information. There is not a word thrown away; and the care with which the facts are marshalled, attests the great pains and consideration that have been bestowed upon the plan of the work." -Home News. "It is a thoroughly conscientious work, and furnishes very full information on all points of interest. The illustrations are extremely good; the maps are excellent."-The Press. "Mr. Ravenstein has produced a work of solid information-a capital book of reference-on a subject concerning which Englishmen will, before long, desire all the trustworthy information they can get."-Globe. Mr. Ravenstein's book contains the fullest and latest accounts of Russia's annexations in oriental quarters, and is, therefore, a highly valuable and useful addition to English knowledge thereof."-Dublin Nation. "In conclusion, we must compliment Mr. Ravenstein on the skill which he has shown as a compiler. He himself has never visited the Amur; and has composed his work entirely from done it so well, that few readers except those the accounts of previous travellers. But he has whose business it is to be suspicious, would have found it out, if it had not been acknowledged in the preface."-Literary Budget. "The book has, of course, no pretensions to the freshness of a narrative of personal exploration and adventure, but it is by no means unpleasant reading, even from this point of view, while for those who are possessed of a geographical taste, which is in some degree a thing apart, it will have a high degree of interest."-Spectator. "This book is a good honest book-a book that was needed, and that may be referred to as a reliable source of information."-Athenæum. "The work before us is full of important and accurate information."-London Review. "His book is by far the most comprehensive review of all that has been observed and ascertained of a little-known portion of Asia."Guardian.

"The volume deserves a careful perusal, and it will be found exceedingly instructive." Observer. "The aim of Mr. Ravenstein has been to make his book one of authority, and in this he has certainly been most successful."-Bell's Messenger. "We are fortunate, too, in our opportunity, for it would be hard to find a more careful or trustworthy guide than Mr. Ravenstein, who has not only availed himself of all accessible publications on the subject, but has also enjoyed the immense advantage of holding personal communication with Russian officers who had served on the Amur."-Allen's Indian Mail. "The book to which we are indebted for our information is a perfect magazine of knowledge, and must become the standard work on the Amur. It does not affect liveliness or brilliancy, but is constantly perspicuous, interesting, and complete. We have never opened a more satisfactory and well-arranged collection of all that is known on any given subject, than Ravenstein's Russians on the Amur "-Liverpool Daily Post. "A well-written work."-Morning Post. "The account by Mr. Ravenstein of their long-continued efforts and recent success, is one of the most complete books we have ever met with-it is an exhaustive monograph of the political history and natural resources of a country of which but little was before known in Europe, and that little had to be extracted from obscure sources. This labour has been most conscientiously performed by the author. The various journeys of Russian explorers, the early predatory incursions, the narratives of missionaries, and the accounts of the Chinese themselves, are brought together with great skill and success."- Westminster Review.
