of Sheridan's
day."--_Saturday Review._

=Life of Adam Smith. By R.B. Haldane, M.P.=

"Written with a perspicuity seldom exemplified when dealing
with economic science."--_Scotsman._

"Mr. Haldane's handling of his subject impresses us as that of
a man who well understands his theme, and who knows how to
elucidate it."-_Scottish Leader._

"A beginner in political economy might easily do worse than
take Mr. Haldane's book as his first text-book."--_Graphic._

=Life of Smollett. By David Hannay.=

"A capital record of a writer who still remains one of the
great masters of the English novel."--_Saturday Review._

"Mr. Hannay is excellently equipped for writing the life of
Smollett. As a specialist on the history of the eighteenth
century navy, he is at a great advantage in handling works so
full of the sea and sailors as Smollett's three principal
novels. Moreover, he has a complete acquaintance with the
Spanish romancers, from whom Smollet drew so much of his
inspiration. His criticism is generally acute and
discriminating; and his narrative is well arranged, compact,
and accurate."--_St. James's Gazette._

=Life of Thackeray. By Herman Merivale and Frank T. Marzials.=

"The book, with its excellent bibliography, is one which
neither the student nor the general reader can well afford to
miss."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

"The last book published by Messrs. Merivale and Marzials is
full of very real and true things."--Mrs. ANNE THACKERAY
RITCHIE on "Thackeray and his Biographers," in _Illustrated
London News._

=Life of Thoreau. By H.S. Salt.=

"Mr. Salt's volume ought to do much towards widening the
knowledge and appreciation in England of one of the most
original men ever produced by the United
States."--_Illustrated London News._

=Life of Voltaire. By Francis Espinasse.=

"Up to date, accurate, impartial, and bright without any trace
of affectation."--_Academy._

=Life of Whittier. By W.J. Linton.=

"Mr. Linton is a sympathetic and yet judicious critic of
Whittier."--_World._
