      Allingham.—LAURENCE BLOOMFIELD IN IRELAND; or, the New Landlord. By William Allingham. New and Cheaper Issue, with a Preface. Fcap. 8vo. cloth. 4s. 6d.

      "It is vital with the national character.... It has something of Pope's point and Goldsmith's simplicity, touched to a more modern issue."—Athenæum.

      An Ancient City, and other Poems.—By A Native of Surrey. Extra fcap. 8vo. 6s.

      Archer.—CHRISTINA NORTH. By E. M. Archer. Two vols. Crown 8vo. 21s.

      "The work of a clever, cultivated person, wielding a practised pen. The characters are drawn with force and precision, the dialogue is easy: the whole book displays powers of pathos and humour, and a shrewd knowledge of men and things."—Spectator.

      Arnold.—THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS. Vol. I. Narrative and Elegiac Poems. Vol. II. Dramatic and Lyric Poems. By Matthew Arnold. Extra fcap. 8vo. Price 6s. each.

      The two volumes comprehend the First and Second Series of the Poems, and the New Poems. "Thyrsis is a poem of perfect delight, exquisite in grave tenderness of reminiscence, rich in breadth of western light, breathing full the spirit of gray and ancient Oxford."—Saturday Review.

      Atkinson.—AN ART TOUR TO THE NORTHERN CAPITALS OF EUROPE. By J. Beavington Atkinson. 8vo. 12s.

      "We can highly recommend it; not only for the valuable information it gives on the special subjects to which it is dedicated, but also for the interesting episodes of travel which are interwoven with, and lighten, the weightier matters of judicious and varied criticism on art and artists in northern capitals."—Art Journal.

      Baker.—CAST UP BY THE SEA; OR, THE ADVENTURES OF NED GREY. By Sir Samuel Baker, M.A., F.R.G.S. With Illustrations by Huard. Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth gilt. 7s. 6d.

      IN EXITU ISRAEL. An Historical Novel. Two Vols. 8vo. 21s.

      "Lady Barker is endowed with a rare and delicate gift for narrating stories,—she has the faculty of throwing even into her printed narrative a soft and pleasant tone, which goes far to make the reader think the subject or the matter immaterial, so long as the author will go on telling stories for his benefit."—Athenæum.

      STORIES ABOUT:—With Six Illustrations. Third Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 4s. 6d.

      This volume contains several entertaining stories about Monkeys, Jamaica, Camp Life, Dogs, Boys, &c. There is not a tale in the book which can fail to please children as well as their elders.—Pall Mall Gazette.

      "Contains just the stories that children should be told. 'Christmas Cake' is a delightful Christmas book."—Globe.

      RIBBON STORIES. With Illustrations by C. O. Murray. Second Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. cloth gilt. 4s. 6d.

      "We cannot too highly commend. It is exceedingly happy and original in the plan, and the graceful fancies of its pages, merry and pathetic turns, will be found the best reading by girls of all ages, and by boys too."—Times.
