ADVERTISING, A HISTORY OF, from the Earliest Times.
Illustrated by Anecdotes, Curious Specimens, and Biographical Notes of Successful Advertisers. By Henry Sampson. Crown 8vo, with Coloured Frontispiece and Illustrations, cloth gilt, 7s. 6d.
"Nowhere is humanity so frank and real as in the advertising columns of the journals. Mr. Sampson has contrived to give us much of the essence of these columns, and therefore of humanity as it really is. The chapters devoted to hoaxing advertisements and their results are exceedingly entertaining; the author has also found a good deal that is pertinent to say of lotteries. On the whole, he has proved himself fairly equal to a comprehensive and difficult subject, and has produced a book that will be read with unflagging interest."—Pall Mal; Gazette.
"We have here a book to be thankful for. Mr. Sampson carries us pretty well over the world to show us how wit, audacity, craft, and cunning have been employed in advertising. Among the many interesting illustrations to this book is a photographed copy of the Times for January 1st, 1788, which may be easily read by means of a magnifying glass. 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 chapter on 'swindles and hoaxes' is full of entertainment; but of that the volume itself is full from the first page to the last."—Athenaeum.
ÆSOP'S FABLES TRANSLATED INTO HUMAN NATURE. By C. H. Bennett. 4to, 24 Plates beautifully printed in Colours, with descriptive Text, cloth extra, gilt, 6s.
"For fun and frolic the new version of Æsop's Fables must bear away the palm. There are twenty-two fables and twenty-two wonderful coloured illustrations: the moral is pointed, the tale adorned. This is not a juvenile book, but there are plenty of grown-up children who like to be amused at Christmas, and indeed at any time of the year; 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.

"Blake is a real name, I assure you, and a most extraordinary man he is, if he still be living. He is the Blake whose wild designs accompany a splendid edition of Blair's 'Grave.'

Considered merely as a composition, it deserves to be classed among the best specimens of English prose which courage has produced. … The style is agreeable, clear, and manly, and, when it rises into eloquence, rises without effort or ostentation. Nor is the matter inferior to the manner. It would be difficult to name a book which exhibits More kindness, fairness, and modesty."—Macaulay, in the Edinburgh Review.

"He was a man whose sagacity enabled him to penetrate to the depths of every subject he explored; whose conceptions were so powerful and luminous, that what was recondite and original appeared familiar; what was intricate, easy and perspicuous, in his hands; equally successful in enforcing the practical, in stating the theoretical, and discussing the polemical branches of theology."—Robert Hall.

- 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 Cruiksbank 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.

In countries, the history of which has been too imperfectly known to afford lessons of political wisdom, he has taught us still more interesting lessons on the social relations of men, and the intercourse of nations in the earlier ages of the world. His work is as learned as a professed commentary on the ancient historians and geographers, and as entertaining as a modern book of travels."-Edinburgh Review.

Poor Tom Hood! It is very sad to turn over the droll pages of 'From Nowhere to the North Pole,' and to think that he will never make the young people, for whom, like his famous father, he ever had such a kind, sympathetic heart, laugh or cry any more. This is a birthday story, and no part of it is better than the first chapter, concerning birthdays in general, and Frank's birthday in particular: 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 attist could not be desired."-Times.

"This work has something more than the beauties of an exquisite style or the word-compelling power of a literary Zeus to recommend it to the tender care of a distant posterity; in dealing with all the emotions, passions, doubts, fears, which go to make up our common humanity, M. Victor Hugo has stamped upon every page the Hall-mark of genius and the loving patience and conscientious fabour of a true artist. But the merits of 'Les Misérables' do not merely consist in the conception of it as a whole; it abounds, page after page, with details of unequalled beauty."Quarterly Review.

"'While the splendour of the decorations of thie work is well calculated to excite furiosity, the novel character of its contents, the.very curious ¢xtracts from the rare MSS. in which it abounds, and the pleasing manner in which the author's antiquarian researches are prosecuted, will tempt many who take up the book in idleness, to peruse it with care. No previous work can be compared, in point of extent, arrangement, science, or utility, with the one now in question. 1st, It for the first time supplies to our Schools of art, correct and ascertained data for costume, in its noblest and most io eden byanch—historical painting. end. It affords a simple, clear, and most conclusive elucidation of a great number of passages in cur great dramatic poets—ay, and in the works of those of Greece and Rome—against which commentators and scholiaats have been trying their wits for centuries. 3rd. It throws a fload of light upon the manners, usages, and sports of our ancestors, from the time of the Anglo-Saxons down to the reign of Charles the Second. And lastly, it at once removes a vast number of idle traditions and ingenious fables, which one compiler of history, copying from another, has succeeded in transmitting through the lapse of four or five hundred years.
"It is not often the fortune of a painful student of antiquity to conduct his readers. through so splendid a succession of scenes and events as those to which Dr. Meyrick here successively introduces us. But he does it with all the ease and gracefulness of an accomplished cfcerone. We see the haughty nobles and the impetuous knights —we ore nt at their arming—asaist them ta their shields—enter the wellinted Lists with them—and partake the hopes and fears, the perils, honours, and successes of the manly tournaments, Then we are presented to the Jorious damsels, all superb aad lovely, in ' yelours and clothe of golde and dayntie devyces, bothe in pearls and emerawds, sawphires and dymondes,'— and the banquet, with the serving men and bucklers, servitors aud trenchers—kings and queens—pageants, &c., &c, 'We feel as if the age of chivalry had returned in ail its glory." —Edinburgh Review.

"It is to be regretted that the prose writings of Milton should, in our time, be so little read, As compositions, ther deserve the attention of every man who wishes to become acquainted with the full power of the English language. They abound with passages compared with which the finest de tions of Burke sink into insigniicance, They are a perfect field of cloth of gold. The style is stiff with gorgeous embroidery. Not even in the earlier books of the ' Paradise Last' has the pres' joet ever risen higher than in those parts of bis controversial works in which feelings, excited by conflict, find a vent in bursts of devotional and tyrie rapture, It is, to borrow his own majestic language, 'a sevenfold chorus of hallelujahs and symphonies,' "—Macaulay.

"Mr. Swinburne's most prejudiced critic cannot, we think, deny that 'Bothwell' is a poem of a very high character. Every line bears traces of power, individuality, and vivid imagination, The versification, while characteristically supple and melodious, also attains, in spite of some affectations, to a sustained strength and dignity of a remarkable kind. Mr. Swinbume is not only a master of the music of lanage, but he has that indescribable touch which discloses the true poet—the touch fat lihts from off the ground."—Saturday Reotew,
