othing could be more attractive than the form in which this excellent edition is sent forth."--Record. Stories from the Faerie Queene. By MARY MACLEOD. With Introduction by J. W. Hales, Professor of English Literature, King's College, London, etc., etc. With numerous Illustrations by A. G. Walker, Sculptor. Large crown 8vo, printed on superfine paper, cloth boards, gilt top, 6s. "Miss Mary Macleod has performed a dangerous and difficult task with taste and discretion. It can have been no light labour to set forth in simple, equable prose the linked sweetness, long drawn out, of Spenser's Faerie Queene, and the latter-day child may well feel much the same gratitude to her as those of another generation must have felt towards Charles and Mary Lamb, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Kingsley."--Pall Mall Gazette. "The book is beautifully produced, and ought to satisfy the most fastidious and exacting taste."--Leeds Mercury. Sweetheart Travellers. A Child's Book FOR Children, FOR Women, AND FOR Men. By S. R. CROCKETT. With numerous Illustrations by Gordon Browne, R.I., and W. H. C. Groome. Large 8vo, printed on superfine paper, cloth boards, gilt top, 6s. A LARGE-PAPER EDITION, numbered and signed by Author and Artists, net, 31s. 6d. "Had any one ever been disinclined to believe in Mr. Crockett's genius, he must have recanted and repented in sackcloth and ashes after enjoying _Sweetheart Travellers_. It is the rarest of all rarities, and veritably a child's book for children, as well as for women and men. It is seldom, indeed, that the reviewer has the opportunity of bestowing unstinted praise, with the feeling that the laudation is, nevertheless, inadequate. _Sweetheart Travellers_ is instinct with drollery; it continually strikes the softest notes of tenderest pathos, like some sweet, old-fashioned nursery melody, and it must make the most hardened bachelor feel something of the pleasures he has missed in living mateless and childless."--Times. "A more delightful book for young, old, and middle aged it is scarcely possible to conceive."--Truth. The Surprising Adventures of Sir Toady Lion, with those of General Napoleon Smith. An Improving History for OLD BOYS, YOUNG BOYS, GOOD BOYS, BAD BOYS, BIG BOYS, LITTLE BOYS, COW-BOYS, and TOMBOYS. By S.R. CROCKETT. Illustrated
