dapted for school purposes that can be had in English."--_Boston Herald._ _THE TRUE LIFE OF CAPTAIN SIR RICHARD F. BURTON._ Written by his niece, GEORGIANA M. STISTED, with the authority and approval of the Burton family. 12mo. Cloth, with Portrait, $2.00. "Miss Stisted has given us a thoroughly good biography. Though a great admirer of her uncle, she does not conceal his weaknesses, but writes, in the main, soberly and impartially with excellent judgment. She has compressed a great deal into a small volume, not confusing us with too much detail, and yet describing many picturesque incidents and scenes. Her book is interesting from beginning to end. Short as it is, we get from it a satisfactory idea of the story and personality of one of the most extraordinary men of his time."--_The Nation._ "The book has not a dull line in it. Detail, anecdote, comment, and criticism are so nicely adjusted that the story never flags."--_Chicago Evening Post._ "A very interesting biography of a very remarkable man."--_New York Mail and Express._ _THE EARLY CORRESPONDENCE OF HANS VON BUeLOW._ Edited by his Widow.

The letters are free, spontaneous, and unstudied, exhibiting the musician struggling to make what he knew to be in him recognized by the public."--_London Daily Chronicle._ _GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, as seen in his Works and Correspondence._ By JOHN CHARLES TARVER. With Portrait. 8vo. Buckram, $4.00. "It is surprising that this extremely interesting correspondence has not been Englished before."--_London Athenaeum._ "This handsome volume is welcome....
