By David Hannay.= "What Mr. Hannay had to do--give a craftsman-like account of a great craftsman who has been almost incomprehensibly undervalued--could hardly have been done better than in this little volume."--_Manchester Guardian._ =Life of Mill. By W.L. Courtney.= "A most sympathetic and discriminating memoir."--_Glasgow Herald._ =Life of Milton.

By William Sharp.= "The criticisms ... entitle this capital monograph to be ranked with the best biographies of Shelley."--_Westminster Review._ =Life of Sheridan.
