taste and true appreciation. A volume upon which all lovers of genuine poetry will place the highest value."—Morning Advertiser.

"An excellent little volume for a lady's drawing-room."—Vanity Fair.

TENNYSONIANA. Second Edition, revised and enlarged, Fcap. 8vo. 6s.

—— Large Paper (only 25 printed), £1 1s.

"There is a great deal in the volume which must prove interesting to the admirers of the Laureate. . . . Altogether the work should be welcome as a book of reference."—Graphic.

"This book must be considered almost indispensable to any one who desires to have a thorough knowledge of Tennyson's writings."—The Week.

TRELAWNY, E. J. Records of Shelley, Byron, and the Author. New Edition, greatly enlarged. 2 vols. crown 8vo. with portraits and plates, 12s.

"His book stands alone in the voluminous and confused literature which deals with the lives of Shelley and Byron."—Saturday Review.

"We will only add that Trelawny's merits as a biographer consist mainly in clear insight, the power of saying exactly what he means in language that is at once plain, terse, and pointedly descriptive, without any amplifying or circumlocution, and a wholly unconventional tone and temper of mind. He observes well, remembers well, and expresses well."—Academy.

"As a biographic source for the last years of Shelley's life, Mr. Trelawny's book is invaluable. . . . Even if written by an outsider, this account of a poetic still-life would be attractive; but coming from one who for months was Shelley's constant companion, who performed his funeral rites, and broke the news of his death to his widow, it may fairly be said to rank with the standard works of biographic literature."—Pall Mall Gazette.
