s novels are being reissued, in England by John Lane and George Bell & Sons, and in America in a most attractive form by Dodd, Mead & Co. All three publishers have a good edition of _Barchester Towers_, Trollope's best novel. {269f} Boccaccio's _Decameron_ is in my library in many forms--in 3 volumes of the Villon Society's publications, translated by John Payne; in 2 handsome volumes issued by Laurence & Bullen; and in the Extra Volumes of Bohn's Library. There is a pretty edition available published by Gibbons in 3 volumes. {270a} Emily Bronte's _Wuthering Heights_ forms a volume of the Haworth Edition of the Bronte novels, published by Smith, Elder & Co. It has an introduction by Mrs. Humphry Ward. {270b} Charles Reade's _Cloister and the Hearth_ is available in many forms. The pleasantest is in 4 volumes issued by Chatto & Windus, with an Introduction by Sir Walter Besant. There is a remarkable shilling edition issued by Collins of Glasgow. {270c} Victor Hugo's _Les Miserables_ may be most pleasantly read in the 10 volumes, translated by M. Jules Gray, published by J. M. Dent & Co. {270d} Mrs. Gaskell's _Cranford_ can be obtained in the six volume edition of that writer's works published by Smith, Elder & Co., with Introductions by Dr. A. W. Ward; in a volume illustrated by Hugh Thomson, with an Introduction by Mrs. Ritchie, published by the Macmillans, or in the World's Classics (Henry Frowde), where there is an additional chapter entitled, "The Cage at Cranford." {270e} The translation of George Sand's _Consuelo_ in my library is by Frank H. Potter, 4 volumes, Dodd, Mead & Co., New York. {270f} Lever's _Charles O'Malley_ I have as volumes of the _Complete Works_ published by Downey. There is a pleasant edition in Nelson's "Pocket Library." {271a} Macaulay's _History of England_ is available in many attractive forms from the original publishers, the Longmans. There is a neat thin paper edition for the pocket in 5 volumes issued by Chatto & Windus. {271b} For Carlyle's _Past and Present_ I recommend the Centenary Edition of Carlyle's _Works_, published by Chapman & Hall. There is an annotated edition of _Sartor Resartus_ by J. A. S. Barrett (A. & C. Black), two annotated editions of _The French-Revolution_, one by Dr. Holland Rose (G. Bell & Sons), and an other by C. R. L. Fletcher, 3 volumes (Methuen), and an annotated edition of _The Cromwell Letters_, edited by S. C. Lomax, 3
