+for painting a historical gallery of the most illustrious or dignified
+female characters in that land of chivalry and song."--_Blackwood's

+    'Ingoldsby Legends.' In 8vo, with Engravings, 16s.
+
+"'The Boscobel Tracts' is a very curious book, and about as good an
+example of single subject historical collections as may be found.

+judgment and taste not always found in works of a similar
+character."--_Spectator._

+    DUNDEE--WILLIAM PENN. By John Paget, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. In
+    Crown 8vo, 6s.
+
+"We certainly never saw a more damaging exposure, and it is something
+worth notice that much of it appeared in 'Blackwood's Magazine' during
+the lifetime of Lord Macaulay, but he never attempted to make any reply.
+The charges are so direct, and urged in such unmistakable language, that
+no writer who valued his character for either accuracy of fact or
+fairness in comment would let them remain unanswered if he had any
+reason to give."--_Gentleman's Magazine._

+    his Time. Edited by JOHN HILL BURTON. In 8vo. Third Edition, with

+
+"This book contains by far the most vivid picture of Scottish life and
+manners that has been given to the public since the days of Sir Walter

+"It is of the handiest of sizes; the paper is good; and the type, which
+seems to be new, is very clear and beautiful. There are no pictures. The
+whole charm of the presentment of the volume consists in its handiness,

+into a pleasure the mere act of following the printer's lines, and
+leaves the author's mind free to exert its unobstructed force upon the
+reader."--_Examiner._

+
+"Everybody who has failed to read 'Tom Cringle's Log' should do so at
+once. The 'Quarterly Review' went so far as to say that the papers
+composing it, when it first appeared in 'Blackwood,' were the most
+brilliant series of the time, and that time one unrivalled for the
+number of famous magazinists existing in it. Coleridge says, in his
+'Table Talk,' that the 'Log' is most excellent; and these verdicts have
+been ratified by generations of men and boys, and by the manifestation
+of Continental approval which is shown by repeated translations. The
+engravings illustrating the present issue are excellent."--_Standard._

+
+"This story, so fresh, so powerfully written, and so tragic, stands out
+from among its fellows like a piece of newly-coined gold in a handful of
+dim commonplace shillings. Tales of pastoral experience and scenes from
+clerical life we have had in plenty, but the sacred things of the
+conventicle, the relative position of pastor and flock in a
+Nonconforming 'connection,' were but guessed at by the world outside,

+"On the whole, the intellectual interest of the Count's 'Monks of the
+West' rests mainly on this, that it is the work of a brilliant and
+accomplished layman and man of the world, dealing with a class of
+characters who have generally been left to the arid professional
+handling of ecclesiastical writers. Montalembert sees their life as a
+whole, and a human whole; and, with all his zeal as an amateur
+hagiographer, he cannot but view them with some of the independence of a
+mind trained to letters and politics."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

+
+ =THE HANDY ROYAL ATLAS.=
+    By ALEX. KEITH JOHNSTON, LL.D. &c., Author of the 'Royal Atlas,' the
+    'Physical Atlas,' &c. 45 Maps, clearly printed and carefully
+    coloured, with General Index. Imperial quarto, price £2, 12s. 6d.,
+    half-bound morocco.
+
+"Is probably the best work of the kind now published."--_Times._
+
+"Not only are the present territorial adjustments duly registered in all
+these maps, but the latest discoveries in Central Asia, in Africa, and
+America have been delineated with laborious fidelity. Indeed the ample
+illustration of recent discovery, and of the great groups of
+dependencies on the British Crown, renders Dr Johnston's the best of all
+Atlases for English use."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
+
+"He has given us in a portable form geography posted to the last
+discovery and the last Revolution."--_Saturday Review._
+
+"This is Mr Keith Johnston's admirable Royal Atlas diminished in bulk
+and scale so as to be perhaps, fairly entitled to the name of 'handy,'
+but still not so much diminished but what it constitutes an accurate and
+useful general Atlas for ordinary households."--_Spectator._
+
+"The 'Handy Atlas' is thoroughly deserving of its name. Not only does it
+contain the latest information, but its size and arrangement render it
+perfect as a book of reference."--_Standard._
+

+more and later information than exists in any volume with which we are
+acquainted."--_Symon's Meteorological Magazine._
+
+
+ =GEOLOGY FOR GENERAL READERS.=
+    A SERIES OF POPULAR SKETCHES IN GEOLOGY AND PALÆONTOLOGY. By DAVID
+    PAGE, LL.D. F.R.S.E. F.G.S. Second Edition, containing several New
+    Chapters. Price 6s.
+
+"Few of our handbooks of popular science can be said to have greater or
+more decisive merit than those of Mr Page on Geology and Palæontology.
+They are clear and vigorous in style, they never oppress the reader with
+a pedantic display of learning, nor overwhelm him with a pompous and
+superfluous terminology; and they have the happy art of taking him
+straightway to the face of nature herself, instead of leading him by the
+tortuous and bewildering paths of technical system and artificial
+classification."--_Saturday Review._
+
+"This is one of the best of Mr Page's many good books. It is written in
+a flowing popular style. Without illustration or any extraneous aid, the
+narrative must prove attractive to any intelligent reader."--_Geological
+Magazine._

+
+
+"These lectures, in so far as they treat of Greek philosophy down to
+Plato, have been carefully elaborated, and are of much value--of higher
+value, indeed, than any writings on the same subject in the English
+language; and in point of clearness, depth, and resolute search after
+truth, and tenacious hold of it when found, we doubt if they are
+surpassed in any language.... For our part, we do not know any
+philosophical writings so fascinating to a young student of philosophy
+as these early pages."--_Scotsman._
