With numerous full-page Illustrations by Dr. LIVESAY. "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." —ATHENAUM. Crown 8vo, cloth, full gilt, 7s. 6d.

Leigh's A Town Garland. By Henry S. Leigh, Author of "Carols of Cockayne."
"If Myr. Leigh's verse survive to a future generation—and there is no reason why that honour should not be accorded productions so delicate, so finished, and so full of humour—their author will probably be remembered as the Poet of the Strand. .... Very whimsically does Mr. Leigh treat the subjects which commend themselves to him. His verse is always admirable in rhythm, and his rhymes are happy enough to deserve a place by the best of Barham... . The entire contents of the volume ave equally noteworthy for humour and for daintisess of workmanship." —ATHENAUM.
SECOND EDITION.—Crown 8vo, cloth extra, with Illustrations, 6s.
Leisure-Time Studies, chiefly Biological. By ANDREW WILSON, F.R.S.E., Lecturer on Zoology and Comparative Anatomy in the Edinburgh Medicai school.
"It is well when we can take up the work of a really qualified investigator, who in the intervals of his more serious professional labours sets himself to impart knowledge in such a simple and elementary form as may attract and instruct, with no danger of misleading the tyro in natural science. Such a work is this little volume, made up of essays and addresses written and delivered by Dr. Andrew Wilson, lecturer and examiner in science at Edinburgh and Glasgow, at leisure intervals in a busy professional life. . . . Dy. Wilson's pages teem with matter stimulating to a healthy love of science and a reverence for the truths of nature." —SATURDAY REVIEW.
