Tales of Old Thule. Collected and Illustrated by J. Moyr SMITH.
"Tt ts not often that we meet with a volume of fairy tales possessing more fully the double recommendation of absorbing interest and purity of tone than does the one before us containing a collection of 'Tales of Old Thule.' These come, to say the least, near fulfilling the idea of perfect works of the kind; and the illustrations with which the volume is embellished ave equally excellent. . . . We commend the book to parents and teachers as an admirable gift to their childven and pupils." LITERARY WORLD.

Thackerayana: Notes and Anecdotes. Illustrated by a profusion of Sketches by WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY, depicting Humorous Incidents in his School-life, and Favourite Characters in the books of his everyday reading. With Hundreds of Wood Engravings, facsimiled from Mr, Thackeray's Original Drawings.
"It would have been a real loss to bibliographical literature had copyright di; ies deprived the general public of this very amusing collection. One of Thackeray's habits, from his schoolboy days, was to ornament the margins and blank pages of the books he had in use with caricature illustrations of their contents. This gave special value to the sale of his library, and ts almost cause for vegvet that tt could not have been preserved in its integrity. Thackeray's place in literature is eminent enough to have made this an interest to future generations. The anonymous editor has done the best that he could to compensate for the lack of this. It tsan admirable addendum, not only to his collected works, but also to any memoir of him that has been, or that ts likely to be, woritien,"—British Quarterly Review.

Thornbury's (Walter) Haunted London.
A New Edition, edited by EDWARD WALFORD, M.A., with numerous Illustrations by F. W. FAIRHOLT, F.S.A.
"Mr. Thornbury knew and loved his London. . . ~. He had read much history, and every by-lane and every court had associations for hen, Hts memory and his note-books were stored with anecdote, and, as he had singular skill in the matter of narration, it will be readily believed that when he took to writing a set book about the places he knew and cared for, the said book would be charming. Charming the volume before us certainly ts. It may be begun in the beginning, or middle, or end, tt is all one: wherever one lights, there is some pleasant and on bit ca gossip, some amusing fragment of allusion or quotation,'—VANITY FAiR,
