HE ILIAD OF HOMER. Books XIII. to XXIV. Translated into English Verse in the Spenserian Stanza. By JOHN CONINGTON, M.A., Corpus Professor of Latin in the University of Oxford. Price 10s. 6d. The work is now complete, viz.-- THE ODYSSEY. By MR WORSLEY. 2 vols., 18s. THE ILIAD. By MR WORSLEY and Professor CONINGTON. 2 vols., 21s. FAUST: A DRAMATIC POEM. By GOETHE. Translated into English Verse by THEODORE MARTIN. Second Edition, post 8vo, price 6s. "The best translation of 'Faust' in verse we have yet had in England."--_Spectator._ "Mr Theodore Martin's translation is unquestionably the best in the language, and will give to English readers a fair idea of the greatest of modern poems."--_Press._ ESSAYS ON SOCIAL SUBJECTS. Originally published in the 'Saturday Review.' First and Second Series. A New Edition. Post 8vo, 12s. "Two remarkable volumes of occasional papers, 'Essays on Social Subjects, contributed to the Saturday Review' (Blackwood), are far above the average of such miscellanies. They are the production of a keen and kindly observer of men and manners, and they display a subtle analysis of character, as well as a breadth of observation, which are remarkable. With much of occasional force, these Essays have sufficient solidity to make a book; and while they recall the wit of Montaigne and the playfulness of Addison, they are animated by a better moral tone, and cover a large range of experience."--_Christian Remembrancer._ CATALOGUE OF MESSRS BLACKWOOD AND SONS' PUBLICATIONS. _HISTORY OF EUROPE_, From the Commencement of the French Revolution in 1789 to the Battle of Waterloo. By Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON, Bart., D.C.L. A New Library Edition (being the Tenth), in 14 vols. demy 8vo, with Portraits, and a copious Index, L10, 10s. Another Edition, in crown 8vo, 20 vols., L6. A People's Edition, 12 vols., closely printed in double columns, L2, 8s., and Index Volume, 3s. "An extraordinary work, which has earned for itself a lasting place in the literature of the country, and within a few years found innumerable readers in every part of the globe. There is no book extant that treats so well of the period to the illustration of which Mr Alison's labours have been devoted. It exhibits great knowledge, patient research, indefatigable industry, and vast power."--
