SMALL TABLEAUX.  Fcap. 8vo. 4_s. 6d_.

“These brief poems have not only a peculiar kind of interest for the student of English poetry, but are intrinsically delightful, and will reward a careful and frequent perusal.  Full of naivete, piety, love, and knowledge of natural objects, and each expressing a single and generally a simple subject by means of minute and original pictorial touches, these sonnets have a place of their own.”—­Pall Mall Gazette.

Vittoria Colonna

LIFE AND POEMS. By Mrs. Henry Roscoe.  Crown 8vo. 9_s_.

The life of Vittoria Colonna, the celebrated Marchesa di Pescara, has received but cursory notice from any English writer, though in every history of Italy her name is mentioned with great honour among the poets of the sixteenth century.  “In three hundred and fifty years,” says her biographer Visconti, “there has been no other Italian lady who can be compared to her."

“It is written with good taste, with quick and intelligent sympathy, occasionally with a real freshness and charm of style”—­Pall Mall Gazette.

A WOMAN SOLD, AND OTHER POEMS. Crown 8vo. 7_s. 6d_.

“Mrs. Webster has shown us that she is able to draw admirably from the life; that she can observe with subtlety, and render her observations with delicacy; that she can impersonate complex conceptions, and venture into which few living writers can follow her.”—­Guardian.

MY BEAUTIFUL LADY.  By THOMAS WOOLNER.  With a Vignette by Arthur Hughes. Third Edition.  Fcap. 8vo. 5_s_.

“It is clearly the product of no idle hour, but a highly-conceived and faithfully-executed task, self-imposed, and prompted by that inward yearning to utter great thoughts, and a wealth of passionate feeling which is poetic genius.  No man can read this poem without being struck by the fitness and finish of the workmanship, so to speak, as well as by the chastened and unpretending loftiness of thought which pervades the whole.” Globe.

WORDS FROM THE POETS.  Selected by the Editor of “Rays of Sunlight.”  With a Vignette and Frontispiece. 18mo.  Extra cloth gilt, 2_s. 6d_. Cheaper Edition, 18mo. limp., 1_s_.
