Chatto & Windus’s List of Books, July 1878, by Chatto & Windus, a Project Gutenberg eBook.

“I say we have despised literature; what do we, as a nation, care about books? How much do you think we spend altogether on our libraries, public or private, as compared with what we spend on our horses? If a man spends lavishly on his library, you call him mad—a bibliomaniac. But you never call one a horse-maniac, though men ruin themselves every day by their horses, and you do not hear of people ruining themselves by their books. Or, to go lower still, how much do you think the contents of the book-shelves of the United Kingdom, public and private, would fetch, as compared with the contents of its wine-cellars? What position would its expenditure on literature take as compared with its expenditure on luxurious eating? We talk of food for the mind, as of food for the body: now, a good book contains such food inexhaustible: it is provision for life, and for the best part of us; yet how long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it! Though there have been men who have pinched their stomachs and bared their backs to buy a book, whose libraries were cheaper to them, I think, in the end, than most men’s dinners are. We are few of us put to such a trial, and more the pity; for, indeed, a precious thing is all the more precious to us if it has been won by work or economy; and if public libraries were half as costly as public dinners, or books cost the tenth part of what bracelets do, even foolish men and women might sometimes suspect there was good in reading as well as in munching and sparkling; whereas the very cheapness of literature is making even wiser people forget that if a book is worth reading it is worth buying.”—Sesame and Lilies; or, King’s Treasures.

Chatto & Windus’s
List of Books.

Square 8vo, cloth, extra gilt, gilt edges, with Coloured Frontispiece and numerous Illustrations, 10s. 6d.

The Art of Beauty.

“A most interesting book, full of valuable hints and suggestions.... If young ladies would but lend their ears for a little to Mrs. Haweis, we are quite sure that it would result in their being at once more tasteful, more happy, and more healthy than they now often are, with their false hair, high heels, tight corsets, and ever so much else of the same sort.”—Nonconformist.

Crown 4to, containing 24 Plates beautifully printed in Colours, with descriptive Text, cloth extra, gilt, 6s.; illustrated boards, 3s. 6d.

Æsop’s Fables.

“For fun and frolic the new version of Æsop’s Fables must bear away the palm. There are plenty of grown-up children who like to be amused; and if this new version of old stories does not amuse them they must be very dull indeed, and their situation one much to be commiserated.”—Morning Post.

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, with 639 Illustrations, 7s. 6d., a New Edition (uniform with “The Englishman’s House”) of

A Handbook of Architectural Styles.

A History of Advertising,

“We have here a book to be thankful for. We recommend the present volume, which takes us through antiquity, the middle ages, and the present time, illustrating all in turn by advertisements—serious, comic, roguish, or downright rascally. The volume is full of entertainment from the first page to the last.”—Athenæum.

Artemus Ward’s Works:

“The author combines the powers of Thackeray with those of Albert Smith. The salt is rubbed in with a native hand—one which has the gift of tickling.”—Saturday Review.

As Pretty as Seven,

A Handbook of London Bankers;

Bardsley’s Our English Surnames:

“Mr. Bardsley has faithfully consulted the original mediæval documents and works from which the origin and development of surnames can alone be satisfactorily traced. He has furnished a valuable contribution to the literature of surnames, and we hope to hear more of him in this field.”—Times.

Baker’s Clouds in the East:

“A man who not only thinks for himself, but who has risked his life in order to gain information.... A most graphic and lively narrative of travels and adventures which have nothing of the commonplace about them.”—Leeds Mercury. 5

Henry Blackburn’s Art Handbooks:

⁂ The two last form a complete Catalogue to the National Gallery, and may be had bound in one volume, cloth, 3s.

“Our Bank of Elegance notes are not in high credit. But our Bank of Arts notes ought to be, when the bank is Henry Blackburn’s & Co., and the notes are his Grosvenor Gallery Notes, and his Academy Notes for 1878. Never were more unmistakable cases of “value received,” than theirs who purchase these two wonderful shillingsworths—the best aids to memory, for the collections they relate to, that have ever been produced. The Illustrations, excellent records of the pictures, in many cases from sketches by the painters, are full of spirit, and, for their scale, wonderfully effective; the remarks terse, and to the point. After Punch’s Own Guide to the Academy, and the Grosvenor, the best, he has no hesitation in saying, are Mr. Blackburn’s.”—Punch, June 7, 1878.

The Royal Scottish Academy Notes, 1878.

Notes to the Seventeenth Exhibition of the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, 1878.

Blake (William).

“The best side of Blake’s work is given here, and makes a really attractive volume, which all can enjoy.... The etching is of the best kind, more refined and delicate than the original work.”—Saturday Review.

Boccaccio’s Decameron;

Belgravia Magazine.

That the purpose with which “BELGRAVIA” was originated has been fulfilled, is shown by the popularity that has attended it since its first appearance. Aiming, as may be inferred from its name, at supplying the most refined and cultivated section of London society with intellectual pabulum suited to its requirements, it sprang at once into public favour, and has since remained one of the most extensively read and widely circulated of periodicals. In passing into new hands it has experienced no structural change or modification. Increased energy and increased capital have been employed in elevating it to the highest standard of excellence, but all the features that had won public appreciation have been retained, and the Magazine still seeks its principal support in the homes of Belgravia. As the means through which the writer most readily reaches the heart of the general public, and in consequence as the most important of aids in the establishment of morals and the formation of character, fiction still remains a principal feature in the Magazine. Two Serial Stories accordingly run through its pages; supplemented by short Stories, Novelettes, and narrative or dramatic Sketches: whilst Essays, Social, Biographical, and Humorous; Scientific Discoveries brought to the level of popular comprehension, and treated with a light touch; Poetry, of the highest character; and records of Adventure and Travel, form the remaining portion of the contents. Especial care is now bestowed upon the illustrations, of which no fewer than four appear in each number. Beyond the design of illustrating the article they accompany, these aim at maintaining a position as works of art, both as regards drawing and engraving. In short, whatever claims the Magazine before possessed to favour have now been enhanced, and the Publishers can but leave the result to a public that has seldom failed to appreciate all earnest, persistent, and well-directed efforts for its amusement and benefit.

⁂ The THIRTY-FIFTH Volume of BELGRAVIA, elegantly bound in crimson cloth, full gilt side and back, gilt edges, price 7s. 6d., is now ready.—Handsome Cases for binding the volume can be had at 2s. each.

Boudoir Ballads:

Beautiful Pictures by British Artists:

“This book is well got up, and good engravings by Jeens, Lumb Stocks, and others, bring back to us pictures of Royal Academy Exhibitions of past years.”—Times.

Blanchard’s (Laman) Poems.

Bret Hart’s Select Works,

“Not many months before my friend’s death, he had sent me two sketches of a young American writer (Bret Harte), far away in California (‘The Outcasts of Poker Flat,’ and another), in which he had found such subtle strokes of character as he had not anywhere else in late years discovered; the manner resembling himself, but the matter fresh to a degree that had surprised him; the painting in all respects masterly, and the wild rude thing painted a quite wonderful reality. I have rarely known him more honestly moved.”—Forster’s Life of Dickens.

Brand’s Observations on Popular Antiquities,

Brewster’s (Sir David) Martyrs of Science. 8

Brewster’s (Sir David) More Worlds than One,

Brillat-Savarin’s Gastronomy as a Fine Art;

“We have read it with rare enjoyment, just as we have delightedly read and re-read quaint old Izaak. Mr. Anderson has done his work of translation daintily, with true appreciation of the points in his original; and altogether, though late, we cannot but believe that this book will be welcomed and much read by many.”—Nonconformist.

The British Flora Medica:

Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress.

Byron’s Letters and Journals.

“We have read this book with the greatest pleasure. Considered merely as a composition, it deserves to be classed among the best specimens of English prose which our age has produced.... The style is agreeable, clear, and manly, and when it rises into eloquence, rises without effort or ostentation. It would be difficult to name a book which exhibits more kindness, fairness, and modesty.”—Macaulay, in the Edinburgh Review.

Colman’s Humorous Works:

Canova’s Works in Sculpture and Modelling.

“The fertility of this master’s resources is amazing, and the manual labour expended on his works would have worn out many an ordinary workman. The outline engravings are finely executed. The descriptive notes are discriminating, and in the main exact.”—Spectator.

Canters in Crampshire.

“The fruit of the observation of an artist who has an eye for character, a sense of humour, and a firm and ready hand in delineating characteristic details.... Altogether, this is a very pleasant volume for the tables of country gentlemen, or of those town gentlemen who, like Mr. Black’s hero and heroine, divide their time between “Green Pastures and Piccadilly.”—Daily News.

“An amusing volume of sketches and adventures in the hunting-field, drawn with great spirit, a keen sense of humour and fun, and no lack of observation.”—Spectator.

Two Vols. imperial 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, the Plates beautifully printed in Colours, £3 3s.

Catlin’s Illustrations of the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians:

Chaucer for Children:

“It must not only take a high place among the Christmas and New Year books of this season, but is also of permanent value as an introduction to the study of Chaucer, whose works, in selections of some kind or other, are now text-books in every school that aspires to give sound instruction in English.”—Academy.

Cruikshank’s Comic Almanack.

Cope’s History of the Rifle Brigade

“This latest contribution to the history of the British army is a work of the most varied information regarding the distinguished regiment whose life it narrates, and also of facts interesting to the student in military affairs.... Great credit is due to Sir W. Cope for the patience and labour, extending over many years, which he has given to the work.... In many cases well-executed plans of actions are given.”—Morning Post.

“Even a bare record of a corps which has so often been under fire, and has borne a part in important engagements all over the world, could not prove otherwise than full of matter acceptable to the military reader.”—Athenæum.

Creasy’s Memoirs of Eminent Etonians;

“A new edition of ‘Creasy’s Etonians’ will be welcome. The book was a favourite a quarter of a century ago, and it has maintained its reputation. The value of this new edition is enhanced by the fact that Sir Edward Creasy has added to it several memoirs of Etonians who have died since the first edition appeared. The work is eminently interesting.”—Scotsman.

To be Completed in Twenty-four Parts, quarto, at 5s. each, profusely illustrated by Coloured and Plain Plates and Wood Engravings,

Cyclopædia of Costume;

“A most readable and interesting work—and it can scarcely be consulted in vain, whether the reader is in search for information as to military, court, ecclesiastical, legal, or professional costume.... All the chromo-lithographs, and most of the woodcut illustrations—the latter amounting to several thousands—are very elaborately executed; and the work forms a livre de luxe which renders it equally suited to the library and the ladies’ drawing-room.”—Times.

⁂ The DICTIONARY forms Vol. I., which may now be had bound in half red morocco, price £3 13s. 6d. Cases for binding 5s. each.

The remaining Parts will be occupied by the GENERAL HISTORY OF THE COSTUMES OF EUROPE, arranged Chronologically.

Dibdin’s Bibliomania;

Cussans’ History of Hertfordshire.

“Mr. Cussans has, from sources not accessible to Clutterbuck, made most valuable additions to the manorial history of the county from the earliest period downwards, cleared up many doubtful points, and given original details concerning various subjects untouched or imperfectly treated by that writer. The pedigrees seem to have been constructed with great care, and are a valuable addition to the genealogical history of the county. Mr. Cussans appears to have done his work conscientiously, and to have spared neither time, labour, nor expense to render his volumes worthy of ranking in the highest class of County Histories.”—Academy.

Doran’s Memories of our Great Towns.

“Lively and conversational; ‘brimful,’ as the introductory notice in the volume describes them, ‘of pleasant chatty interest and antiquarian lore.’... The volume will be found useful to ordinary visitors to the towns included within its range.... Many of the anecdotes contained in this pleasant collection have not, so far as we know, been published elsewhere.”—Saturday Review.

Dunraven’s The Great Divide:

“There has not for a long time appeared a better book of travel than Lord Dunraven’s ‘The Great Divide.’... The book is full of clever observation, and both narrative and illustrations are thoroughly good.”—Athenæum.

Dodge’s (Colonel) The Hunting Grounds of the Great West:

“This magnificent volume is one of the most able and most interesting works which has ever proceeded from an American pen, while its freshness is equal to that of any similar book. Colonel Dodge has chosen a subject of which he is master, and treated it with a fulness that leaves nothing more to be desired, and in a style which is charming equally for its picturesqueness and its purity.”—Nonconformist.

Emanuel On Diamonds and Precious Stones:

The Englishman’s House:

⁂ This book is intended to supply a long-felt want, viz., a plain, non-technical account of every style of house, with the cost and manner of building; it gives every variety, from a workman’s cottage to a nobleman’s palace.

Crown 8vo, cloth boards, 6s. per Volume; a few Large Paper copies (only 50 printed), at 12s. per Vol.

Early English Poets.

“Mr. Grosart has spent the most laborious and the most enthusiastic care on the perfect restoration and preservation of the text; and it is very unlikely that any other edition of the poet can ever be called for.... From Mr. Grosart we always expect and always receive the final results of most patient and competent scholarship.”—Examiner.

Examples of Contemporary Art.

“It would not be easy to meet with a more sumptuous, and at the same time a more tasteful and instructive drawing-room book.”—Nonconformist. 13

Fairholt’s Tobacco:

“A very pleasant and instructive history of tobacco and its associations, which we cordially recommend alike to the votaries and to the enemies of the much-maligned but certainly not neglected weed.... Full of interest and information.”—Daily News.

Finger-Ring Lore:

“Enters fully into the whole subject, and gives an amount of information and general reading in reference thereto which is of very high interest. The book is not only a sort of history of finger-rings, but is a collection of anecdotes in connection with them.... The volume is admirably illustrated, and altogether affords an amount of amusement and information which is not otherwise easily accessible.”—Scotsman.

“One of those gossiping books which are as full of amusement as of instruction.”—Athenæum.

German Popular Stories.

“The illustrations of this volume ... are of quite sterling and admirable art, of a class precisely parallel in elevation to the character of the tales which they illustrate; and the original etchings, as I have before said in the Appendix to my ‘Elements of Drawing,’ were unrivalled in masterfulness of touch since Rembrandt (in some qualities of delineation, unrivalled even by him).... To make somewhat enlarged copies of them, looking at them through a magnifying glass, and never putting two lines where Cruikshank has put only one, would be an exercise in decision and severe drawing which would leave afterwards little to be learnt in schools.”—Extract from Introduction by John Ruskin.

Gilbert’s (W. S.) Original Plays:

“His workmanship is in its way perfect; it is very sound, very even, very well sustained, and excellently balanced throughout.”—Observer. 14

Faraday’s Chemical History of a Candle.

Faraday’s Various Forces of Nature.

The Gentleman’s Magazine.

In seeking to restore the “GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE” to the position it formerly held, the Publishers do not lose sight of the changed conditions under which it now appears. While maintaining an historical continuity which dates back to the reign of George the Second, there will be no attempt to burden the present with the weight of a distant past, or to adhere slavishly to traditions the application of which is unsuited to the altered conditions of society at the present time. It is sought to render the Magazine to the gentleman of to-day what in earlier times it proved to the gentleman of a past generation. New features will be introduced to take the place of those which disappear; in the most important respects, however, the connecting links between the present and the past will be closest. Biography and History, which have always formed a conspicuous portion of the contents, will retain the prominence assigned them, and will be treated with the added breadth that springs from increased familiarity with authorities and more exact appreciation of the province of the Biographer and the Historian. Science, which confers upon the age special eminence, will have its latest conclusions and forecasts presented in a manner which shall bring them within the grasp of the general reader. The philosophical aspect of Politics, the matters which affect Imperial interests, will be separated from the rivalries of party, and will receive a due share of attention. Archæology (under which comprehensive head may be included Genealogy, Topography, and other similar matters), Natural History, Sport and Adventure, Poetry, Belles Lettres, Art in all its manifestations, will constitute a portion of the contents; and Essays upon social subjects will, as heretofore, be interspersed. Under the head of Table Talk matters of current interest will be discussed, and facts of historic value will be preserved. A Work of Fiction by some novelist of highest position will run through the pages of the Magazine, and will be illustrated by artists of known excellence. With a full sense of what is involved in their promise, and with a firm resolution to abide by their pledges, the Publishers undertake to spare no exertion that is necessary to secure the highest class of contributions, to place the Magazine in the first rank of serials, and to fit it to take its place on the table and on the shelves of all classes of cultivated Englishmen.

⁂ Now ready, the Volume for January to June, 1878, cloth extra, price 8s. 6d.; and Cases for binding, price 2s. each.

Gillray the Caricaturist:

The Golden Treasury of Thought:

The Golden Library:

“A series of excellently printed and carefully annotated volumes, handy in size, and altogether attractive.”—Bookseller. 16

Gosse’s King Erik:

“We have seldom seen so marked an advance in a second book beyond a first. Its merits are solid and of a very high order.”—Academy.

Gosse’s On Viol and Flute.

Half-bound, paper boards, 21s.; or elegantly half-bound crimson morocco, gilt, 25s.

The Graphic Portfolio.

“Contains some of the choicest specimens, both of drawing and wood-engraving. Admirable in details and expression, and engraved with rare delicacy.”—Daily News.

Greeks and Romans (The Life of the),

Greenwood’s Low Life Deeps:

Guyot’s Earth and Man;

Greenwood’s Wilds of London:

“Mr. James Greenwood presents himself once more in the character of ‘one whose delight it is to do his humble endeavour towards exposing and extirpating social abuses and those hole-and-corner evils which afflict society.’”—Saturday Review.

The Grosvenor Gallery Illustrated Catalogue—

“Turning to Mr. Comyns Carr’s essay on the drawings of the Italian Masters, we may say that it is undeniably the most finished piece of critical writing that has fallen from his hand.”—Academy.

“Mr. Comyns Carr’s Illustrated Catalogue of the Grosvenor Gallery Exhibition of Drawings last year, with his admirable introduction and careful photographic illustrations. It costs a guinea, and is worth a great deal more. Exquisite alike in its text and its illustrations.”—Punch.

Hake’s New Symbols:

“The entire book breathes a pure and ennobling influence, shows welcome originality of idea and illustration, and yields the highest proof of imaginative faculty and mature power of expression.”—Athenæum.

Hall’s (Mrs. S. C.) Sketches of Irish Character.

“The Irish Sketches of this lady resemble Miss Mitford’s beautiful English Sketches in ‘Our Village,’ but they are far more vigorous and picturesque and bright.”—Blackwood’s Magazine.

The House of Life;

Historical Portraits;

Hope’s Costume of the Ancients.

“The substance of many expensive works, containing all that may be necessary to give to artists, and even to dramatic performers and to others engaged in classical representations, an idea of ancient costumes sufficiently ample to prevent their offending in their performances by gross and obvious blunders.”

Hood’s (Thomas) Choice Works,

“Not only does the volume include the better-known poems by the author, but also what is happily described as ‘the Cream of the Comic Annuals.’ Such delicious things as ‘Don’t you smell Fire?’ ‘The Parish Revolution,’ and ‘Huggins and Duggins,’ will never want readers.”—Graphic.

Hood’s (Tom) Poems, Humorous and Pathetic.

“There are many poems in the volume which the very best judge might well mistake for his father’s work.”—Standard.

Hood’s (Tom) From Nowhere to the North Pole:

“The amusing letterpress is profusely interspersed with the jingling rhymes which children love and learn so easily. Messrs. Brunton and Barnes do full justice to the writer’s meaning, and a pleasanter result of the harmonious co-operation of author and artist could not be desired.”—Times. 19

Hook’s (Theodore) Choice Humorous Works,

Hueffer’s The Troubadours:

“This attractive volume deals in a very fresh and exact way with a most interesting phase of culture and letters.... Mr. Hueffer claims for his volume the praise of being the first adequate study on so famous a subject as the Troubadours which has appeared in the English language; and we believe that we must allow that he is right. His book will be found exceedingly interesting and valuable.... It is a grateful task to review a volume where so firm aground of scholarship is under our feet, and where there is so little need to be on the watch for instances of inaccuracy or want of knowledge.... Mr. Hueffer is to be congratulated on a very important contribution to literature.”—Examiner.

Howell’s The Conflicts of Capital and Labour,

“A complete account of trades unions, involving the most candid statement of their objects and aspirations, their virtues and faults, is of great value; and such Mr. Howell’s book will be found by those who consult it.... Far from being the impassioned utterance of an advocate, it is, on the contrary, a calm authoritative statement of facts, and the expression of the views of the workmen and their leaders.... The book is a storehouse of facts, some of them extremely well arranged.... His book is of profound interest. We have no hesitation in giving it our hearty praise.”—Echo.

“This book is an attempt, and on the whole a successful attempt, to place the work of trade unions in the past, and their objects in the future, fairly before the public from the working man’s point of view.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

The Italian Masters:

“This splendid volume ... Mr. Carr’s choice of examples has been dictated by wide knowledge and fine tact.... The majority have been reproduced with remarkable accuracy. Of the criticism which accompanies the drawings we have not hitherto spoken, but it is this which gives the book its special value.”—Pall Mall Gazette. 20

Horne’s Orion:

“Orion will be admitted, by every man of genius, to be one of the noblest, if not the very noblest, poetical work of the age. Its defects are trivial and conventional, its beauties intrinsic and supreme.”—Edgar Allan Poe.

Jeux d’Esprit,

“This thoroughly congenial piece of work ... Mr. Leigh’s claim to praise is threefold: he has performed the duty of taster with care and judgment; he has restored many stolen or strayed bons-mots to their rightful owners; and he has exercised his editorial functions delicately and sparingly.”—Daily Telegraph.

Josephus’s Complete Works.

Kavanaghs’ Pearl Fountain,

“Genuine new fairy stories of the old type, some of them as delightful as the best of Grimm’s ‘German Popular Stories.’... For the most part, the stories are downright, thorough-going fairy stories of the most admirable kind.... Mr. Moyr Smith’s illustrations, too, are admirable. Look at that white rabbit. Anyone would see at the first glance that he is a rabbit with a mind, and a very uncommon mind too—that he is a fairy rabbit, and that he is posing as chief adviser to some one—without reading even a word of the story. Again, notice the fairy-like effect of the little picture of the fairy-bird ‘Don’t-forget-me,’ flying away back into fairy-land. A more perfectly dream-like impression of fairy-land has hardly been given in any illustration of fairy tales within our knowledge.”—Spectator.

Lamb’s Poetry for Children, and Prince Dorus.

“The quaint and delightful little book, over the recovery of which all the hearts of his lovers are yet warm with rejoicing.”—Mr. Swinburne, in the Athenæum.

Leigh’s A Town Garland.

Lamb’s Complete Works,

“A complete edition of Lamb’s writings, in prose and verse, has long been wanted, and is now supplied. The editor appears to have taken great pains to bring together Lamb’s scattered contributions, and his collection contains a number of pieces which are now reproduced for the first time since their original appearance in various old periodicals.”—Saturday Review.

Mary & Charles Lamb:

“Very many passages will delight those fond of literary trifles; hardly any Portion will fail in interest for lovers of Charles Lamb and his sister.”—Standard.

Lamont’s Yachting in the Arctic Seas;

“After wading through numberless volumes of icy fiction, concocted narrative, and spurious biography of Arctic voyagers, it is pleasant to meet with a real and genuine volume.... He shows much tact in recounting his adventures, and they are so interspersed with anecdotes and information as to make them anything but wearisome.... The book, as a whole, is the most important addition made to our Arctic literature for a long time.”—Athenæum.

Latter-Day Lyrics:

“One of the most attractive drawing-room volumes we have seen for a long time.”—Nonconformist.

“The volume is one that should find a place on the bookshelf of every cultivated man or woman. The lyrics are chosen with rare taste and perspicacity. Mr. Davenport Adams undoubtedly possesses the artistic art of selection.”—Liverpool Courier. 22

Lee’s More Glimpses of the World Unseen.

Leisure-Time Studies.

The Volume will contain Chapters on the following among other subjects—Biology and its Teachings—Science and Education—A Study of Lower Life—Moot Points in Biology—Sea Serpents—Some Facts and Fictions of Zoology—Animal Architects—The Law of Likeness—The Distribution of Animals—The Origin of Nerves—Animal Development and what it Teaches—Animals and their Environments, &c. &c.

Life in London;

Longfellow’s Complete Prose Works.

Longfellow’s Poetical Works.

“Mr. Longfellow has for many years been the best known and the most read of American poets; and his popularity is of the right kind, and rightly and fairly won. He has not stooped to catch attention by artifice, nor striven to force it by violence. His works have faced the test of parody and burlesque (which in these days is almost the common lot of writings of any mark), and have come off unharmed.”—Saturday Review.

MacColl’s Three Years of the Eastern Question.

“I hope I shall not seem obtrusive in expressing to you the pleasure with which I have read your “Three Years of the Eastern Question.” The tide is running so hard against the better cause just now that one feels specially impelled to offer one’s thanks to those who stand firm, particularly when they state our case so admirably as you have.”—Goldwin Smith. 23

Linton’s Joshua Davidson,

The Fraser Portraits.—Demy 4to, cloth gilt and gilt edges, with 83 characteristic Portraits, 31s. 6d.

Maclise’s Gallery of Illustrious Literary Characters.

“One of the most interesting volumes of this year’s literature.”—Times.

“Deserves a place on every drawing-room table, and may not unfitly be removed from the drawing-room to the library.”—Spectator.

Madre Natura v. The Moloch of Fashion.

“Agreeably written and amusingly illustrated. Common sense and erudition are brought to bear on the subjects discussed in it.”—Lancet.

Lights on the Way:

Magna Charta.

Maid of Norway (The).

Mark Twain’s Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

“A book to be read. There is a certain freshness and novelty about it, a practically romantic character, so to speak, which will make it very attractive.”—Spectator.

An Idle Excursion, and other Papers.

Mark Twain’s Choice Works.

Mark Twain’s Pleasure Trip on the Continent of Europe.

Marston’s (Dr. Westland) Dramatic and Poetical Works.

“The ‘Patrician’s Daughter’ is an oasis in the desert of modern dramatic literature, a real emanation of mind. We do not recollect any modern work in which states of thought are so freely developed, except the ‘Torquato Tasso’ of Goethe. The play is a work of art in the same sense that a play of Sophocles is a work of art; it is one simple idea in a state of gradual development.... ‘The Favourite of Fortune’ is one of the most important additions to the stock of English prose comedy that has been made during the present century.”—Times.

Marston’s (Philip B.) All in All:

Handsomely half-bound, India Proofs, royal folio, £10; Large Paper copies, Artists’ India Proofs, elephant folio, £20.

Modern Art:

Muses of Mayfair:

Marston’s (Philip B.) Song Tide,

The New Republic;

“The great charm of the book lies in the clever and artistic way the dialogue is managed, and the diverse and various expedients by which, whilst the love of thought on every page is kept at a high pitch, it never loses its realistic aspect.... It is giving high praise to a work of this sort to say that it absolutely needs to be taken as a whole, and that disjointed extracts here and there would entirely fail to convey any idea of the artistic unity, the careful and conscientious sequence of what is evidently the brilliant outcome of much patient thought and study.... Enough has now been said to recommend these volumes to any reader who desires something above the usual novel, something which will open up lanes of thought in his own mind, and insensibly introduce a higher standard into his daily life.... Here is novelty indeed, as well as originality, and to anyone who can appreciate or understand ‘The New Republic’ it cannot fail to be a rare treat.”—Observer.

North Italian Folk.

“A delightful book, of a kind which is far too rare. If anyone wants to really know the North Italian folk, we can honestly advise him to omit the journey, and sit down to read Mrs. Carr’s pages instead.... Description with Mrs. Carr is a real gift.... It is rarely that a book is so happily illustrated.”—Contemporary Review.

MOORE’S HITHERTO UNCOLLECTED WRITINGS.
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, with Frontispiece, 9s.

Prose and Verse—Humorous, Satirical, and Sentimental—by THOMAS MOORE.

“Hitherto Thomas Moore has been mostly regarded as one of the lighter writers merely—a sentimental poet par excellence, in whom the ‘rapture of love and of wine’ determined him strictly to certain modes of sympathy and of utterance, and these to a large extent of a slightly artificial character. This volume will serve to show him in other, and certainly as attractive, aspects, while, at the same time, enabling us to a considerable extent to see how faithfully he developed himself on the poetical or fanciful side.... This is a book which claims, as it ought to obtain, various classes of readers, and we trust that the very mixed elements of interest in it may not conflict with its obtaining them. For the lightest reader there is much to enjoy; for the most thoughtful something to ponder over; and the thanks of both are due to editor and publisher alike.”—Nonconformist. 26

NEW WORK by the Author of “THE NEW REPUBLIC.”

The Piccadilly Novels:

NEW NOVEL BY JUSTIN McCARTHY.
Two vols. 8vo, cloth extra, Illustrated, 21s., the Third Edition of

Miss Misanthrope.

“In ‘Miss Misanthrope’ Mr. McCarthy has added a new and delightful portrait to his gallery of Englishwomen.... It is a novel which may be sipped like choice wine; it is one to linger over and ponder; to be enjoyed like fine, sweet air, or good company, for it is pervaded by a perfume of honesty and humour, of high feeling, of kindly penetrating humour, of good sense, and wide knowledge of the world, of a mind richly cultivated and amply stored. There is scarcely a page in these volumes in which we do not find some fine remark or felicitous reflection of piercing, yet gentle and indulgent irony.”—Daily News. 30

MRS. LINTON’S NEW NOVEL.
Two Vols. 8vo, cloth extra, Illustrated, 21s., the Second Edition of

The World Well Lost.

“If Mrs. Linton had not already won a place among our foremost living novelists, she would have been entitled to it by her latest work of fiction—a book of singularly high and varied merit. The story rivets the attention of the reader at the outset, and holds him absorbed until the close.”—Scotsman.

MR. JAMES PAYN’S NEW NOVEL.
Two Vols., 8vo, cloth extra, Illustrated, 21s., the Second Edition of

By Proxy.

“One of the most racy and entertaining of English novels.”—Illustrated London News.

The Lord Hermitage.

Friendship:

The Prince of Argolis:

Cheap Editions of Popular Novels.

Plutarch’s Lives of Illustrious Men.

Poe’s Choice Prose and Poetical Works.

“Poe stands as much alone among verse-writers as Salvator Rosa among painters.”—Spectator.

The Life of Edgar Allan Poe.

Proctor’s Myths and Marvels of Astronomy.

“Mr. Proctor, who is well and widely known for his faculty of popularising the latest results of the science of which he is a master, has brought together in these fascinating chapters a curious collection of popular beliefs concerning divination by the stars, the influences of the moon, the destination of the comets, the constellation figures, and the habitation of other worlds than ours.”—Daily News.

Prometheus the Fire-Giver:

“Another illustration of that classical revival which is due in no small degree to the influence of Mr. Swinburne.... Much really fine writing, and much appreciation of the Æschylean spirit.”—Home News.

“Well written in parts—soft, spirited, and vigorous, according to requirement.”—Illustrated London News.

Puniana;

“A witty, droll, and most amusing work, profusely and elegantly illustrated.”—Standard. 33

The Final Reliques of Father Prout.

The Pursuivant of Arms;

Rabelais’ Works.

Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, with numerous Illustrations, and a beautifully executed Chart of the various Spectra, 7s. 6d., a New Edition of

Rambosson’s Astronomy.

Red-Spinner’s By Stream and Sea:

“Mr. Senior has long been known as an interesting and original essayist. He is a keen observer, a confessed lover of ‘the gentle sport,’ and combines with a fine picturesque touch a quaint and efficient humour. All these qualities come out in a most attractive manner in this delightful volume.... It is pre-eminently a bright and breezy book, full of nature and odd out-of-the-way references.... We can conceive of no better book for the holiday tour or the seaside.”—Nonconformist.

“Very delightful reading; just the sort of book which an angler or a rambler will be glad to have in the side pocket of his jacket. Altogether, ‘By Stream and Sea’ is one of the best books of its kind which we have come across for many a long day.”—Oxford University Herald.

Memoirs of the Sanson Family:

“A faithful translation of this curious work, which will certainly repay perusal—not on the ground of its being full of horrors, for the original author seems to be rather ashamed of the technical aspect of his profession, and is commendably reticent as to its details, but because it contains a lucid account of the most notable causes célèbres from the time of Louis XIV. to a period within the memory of persons still living.... Can scarcely fail to be extremely entertaining.”—Daily Telegraph. 34

The Roll of Battle Abbey;

The Roll of Caerlaverock.

The “Secret Out” Series.

NEW VOLUME OF THE “SECRET OUT” SERIES.
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, with numerous Plates, 4s. 6d.

The Pyrotechnist’s Treasury;

The Lansdowne Shakespeare.

The First Folio Shakespeare.

“To Messrs. Chatto and Windus belongs the merit of having done more to facilitate the critical study of the text of our great dramatist than all the Shakespeare clubs and societies put together. A complete facsimile of the celebrated First Folio edition of 1623 for half-a-guinea is at once a miracle of cheapness and enterprise. Being in a reduced form, the type is necessarily rather diminutive, but it is as distinct as in a genuine copy of the original, and will be found to be as useful and far more handy to the student than the latter.”—Athenæum.

The School of Shakspere.

Signboards:

“Even if we were ever so maliciously inclined, we could not pick out all Messrs. Larwood and Hotten’s plums, because the good things are so numerous as to defy the most wholesale depredation.”—Times.

The Slang Dictionary:

“We are glad to see the Slang Dictionary reprinted and enlarged. From a high scientific point of view this book is not to be despised. Of course it cannot fail to be amusing also. It contains the very vocabulary of unrestrained humour, and oddity, and grotesqueness. In a word, it provides valuable material both for the student of language and the student of human nature.”—Academy. 36

The Smoker’s Text-Book.

Sheridan’s Complete Works,

“The editor has brought together within a manageable compass not only the seven plays by which Sheridan is best known, but a collection also of his poetical pieces which are less familiar to the public, sketches of unfinished dramas, selections from his reported witticisms, and extracts from his principal speeches. To these is prefixed a short but well-written memoir, giving the chief facts in Sheridan’s literary and political career; so that, with this volume in his hand, the student may consider himself tolerably well furnished with all that is necessary for a general comprehension of the subject of it.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

Crown 4to, uniform with “Chaucer for Children,” with Coloured Illustrations, cloth gilt, 10s. 6d.

Spenser for Children.

“Spenser has simply been transferred into plain prose, with here and there a line or stanza quoted, where the meaning and the diction are within a child’s comprehension, and additional point is thus given to the narrative without the cost of obscurity.... Altogether the work has been well and carefully done.”—The Times.

Imperial 4to, containing 150 beautifully-finished full-page Engravings and Nine Vignettes, all tinted, and some illuminated in gold and colours, half-morocco, £9 9s.

Stothard’s Monumental Effigies of Great Britain.

⁂ A few Large Paper copies, royal folio, with the arms illuminated in gold and colours, and the plates very carefully finished in body-colours, heightened with gold in the very finest style, half-morocco, £15 15s.

Stedman’s Victorian Poets:

“We ought to be thankful to those who do critical work with competent skill and understanding, with honesty of purpose, and with diligence and thoroughness of execution. And Mr. Stedman, having chosen to work in this line, deserves the thanks of English scholars by these qualities and by something more; ... he is faithful, studious, and discerning.”—Saturday Review. 37

Mr. Swinburne’s Works:

Poems and Ballads. Second Series.

Rossetti’s (W. M.) Criticism upon Swinburne’s “Poems and Ballads.”

Swift’s Choice Works,

“The ‘Tale of a Tub’ is, in my apprehension, the masterpiece of Swift; certainly Rabelais has nothing superior, even in invention, nor anything so condensed, so pointed, so full of real meaning, of biting satire, of felicitous analogy. The ‘Battle of the Books’ is such an improvement on the similar combat in the Lutrin, that we can hardly own it as an imitation.”—Hallam.

“If he had never written either the ‘Tale of a Tub’ or ‘Gulliver’s Travels,’ his name merely as a poet would have come down to us, and have gone down to posterity, with well-earned honours.”—Hazlitt. 38

Strutt’s Sports and Pastimes of the People of England;

⁂ A few Large Paper Copies, with an extra set of Copperplate Illustrations, carefully Coloured by Hand, from the Originals, 50s.

Dr. Syntax’s Three Tours,

Thackerayana:

“It would have been a real loss to bibliographical literature had copyright difficulties deprived the general public of this very amusing collection. One of Thackeray’s habits, from his schoolboy days, was to ornament the margins and blank pages of the books he had in use with caricature illustrations of their contents. This gave special value to the sale of his library, and is almost cause for regret that it could not have been preserved in its integrity. Thackeray’s place in literature is eminent enough to have made this an interest to future generations. The anonymous editor has done the best that he could to compensate for the lack of this. It is an admirable addendum, not only to his collected works, but also to any memoir of him that has been, or that is likely to be, written.”—British Quarterly Review.

Thomson’s Seasons and Castle of Indolence.

J. M. W. Turner’s Life and Correspondence.

Taine’s History of English Literature.

Two Vols. crown 8vo, cloth boards, 18s.; Large Paper copies (only 50 printed), 36s.

Cyril Tourneur’s Collected Works,

“Tourneur’s plays are an essential part of the literary history of his period. For this reason chiefly they deserve Mr. Collins’s careful editing. His notes are brief and to the point; his illustrations, drawn from a store of curious and recondite learning, are apt and pregnant.... The book, which is prettily printed, is one which the student of Elizabethan literature cannot dispense with.”—Saturday Review.

Thoreau: His Life and Aims.

“Mr. Page has done a good deed in making the ‘Poet Naturalist’ known to English readers. Thoreau’s story is one of the most attractive stories of our time, and we have to thank Mr. Page for reproducing it for us. The ‘New England Hermit’ ought, one would think, to be almost as great a favourite with English boys of this generation as ‘Robinson Crusoe.’ Mr. Page’s study has, besides other merits, that of brevity, so rare in these days; and we rose from the book with a strong desire for more, a feeling that we had only had half a meal.”—Spectator.

Timbs’ Clubs and Club Life in London.

Timbs’ English Eccentrics and Eccentricities:

Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
