The Works of the Late SAMUEL BUTLER " In his own department," says Mr. Bernard Shaw, " Samuel Butler was the greatest English writer of the latter half of the 19th century." Now for the Iirst time in an accessible edition ALPS AND SANCTUARIES of Piedmont and the Canton Ticino The original edition of this book was published at a guinea. It was cumbrous and unmanageable, and it is not surprising that few have known this delightful chronicle of a man of genius on a holiday ramble.

    • This book gives the essence of the writer and the man, and there was

never, surely, a happier combination of the thinker and traveller, humor- ist and humanist, all grouped in one. It is as full of laughter as his namesake's ' Hudibras,' and tilts just as hard at all bat-eyed bigots, but it has ten times the humanity." — Pall Mall Gazette, ' ' When you get a man whose wisdom and learning have only served to increase his power of enjoyment and his sense of fun, you get about as fine a human companion as is, in our present state of development, possible. Such a man was Samuel Butler. — Observer, London.
