Kegan Pattl. 2 vols., demy 8vo, eloth, 28s. “ Mr. Paul may securely count upon all the applause that attends lirst-rate literary work. Me shines as the accomplished literary craftsman—clear-headed and clear-sighted, diligent, accurate and com]-iendious . . . Mr. Paul has accomplished a great task with exemplary thoroughness, and his name will be indissolubly con- nected with that of the subject of his biography. Plis work rivals any romance in interest, and surpasses every romance in variety. It is beautifully printed, and adorned with photographs from noble portraits of Godwin and Mary Wollstone- craft by Northcoto and Opie, the property of Sir Percy Shelly.”—AthencBum. “ It would be hard to tell these things better or more concisely than Mr. Paul has done.- It is not too much to say that not one of his pages is without interest, and to this we may add that he has shown a rare skill and discretion in dealing with his materials.”—Saturday Roview. MEMOIR AND LETTERS OF SARA COLERIDGE. Edited by her Daughter. Third Edition, Eevised and Corrected. With Index. 2 vols., crown 8vo. With Two Portraits. 21s. Cheap Edition. With one Portrait. 7s. 6d. “ Sara Coleridge, as she is revealed, or rather reveals herself, in the correspon- dence, makes ’a brilliant addition to a brilliant family reputation.—Saturday Review. “ These charming volumes are attractive as a memorial of a most amiable woman of high intellectual mark.”—Athenmim. JOHN GREY (of Dilston) : MEMOIRS. By his Daughter, Josephine E. Butler. New and Cheaper Edition. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. The life of a true English gentleman, through whose moral, social, and pro- fessional influence the North of England Avas especially benefited, and whose character and life have proved to be a power for good in his country, far beyond the immediate circle of those who were immediately acquainted with him. “ It is not a mere story of success or genius, as far removed as a fairy tale from the experience and imitation of ordinary people; but it is, if we only allow it to lie so, an incentive and exemplar to all of us. . . . Something we must say of the skilful and temperate execution of the memoir itself; it is impossible to read it vflthout feeling that Mrs. Butler is her father’s daughter, and without wishing that she had given us two volumes instead of one.”—Times.

This, however, is done, and well done, by the writer of the volume before us.”—Pall Mall Gazette. “ A little collection of historical biographies . . . very gracefully written, . . . brilliant and striking in scenes and costumes, wonderfully accurate as to facts, sensible and correct in reflection.”—Literary Clmrcliman.
