THE AMATEUR SERIES.

English Actors from Shakespeare to Macready.  By HENRY BARTON BAKER.  Two vols. $3.50

“Mr. Baker’s business is with the adventures and the art of our principal players; and he rarely, if ever, departs from his well-considered plan to discuss the literature of the theatre.  His anecdotes have all an authentic look, and their genuineness is, for the most part, not to be doubted.  The book is extremely rich in good stories, which are invariably well told.”—­Pall Mall Gazette.

Moscheles’ (Ignatz) Recent Music and Musicians, as described in his Diaries and Correspondence.  Selected by his wife, and adapted from the original German, by A.D.  COLERIDGE, $2.00.

     “Full of pleasant gossip.  The diary and letters between them
     contain notices and criticisms on almost every musical celebrity of
     the last half century.”—­Pall Mall Gazette.

Chorley’s (H.F.) Recent Art and Society, as described in his
Autobiography and Memoirs.  Compiled from the Edition of Henry G.
Hewlett, by C.H.  Jones. $2.00.

Wagner’s (R.) Art Life and Theories.  Selected from his Writings, and translated by EDWARD L. BURLINGAME.  With a preface, a catalogue of Wagner’s published works, and drawings of the Bayreuth Opera House. $2.00.

“Mr. Burlingame has performed a most useful task with great tact and taste.  The difficulty of rendering Wagner into intelligible English is almost insuperable, but he has overcome it, and has given us a book which will not only be interesting to all lovers of music, but entertaining, at least in some of its chapters, to the general reader.”—­N.Y.  Tribune.

Thornbury’s (Walter) Life of J.M.W.  Turner, R.A.  Founded on Letters and Papers furnished by his friends and fellow-academicians.  With illustrations, fac-similed in colors, from Turner’s original drawings. $2.75.

“The author has told fully and fearlessly the story of Turner’s life as far as he could learn it, and has filled his pages with anecdotes which illustrate the painter’s character and habits, and his book is, therefore, one of great interest.”—­N.Y.  Evening Post.

Lewes (George Henry) on Actors and the Art of Acting. $1.50.

“It is valuable, first, as the record of the impressions produced upon a mind of singular sensibility by many actors of renown, and lastly, indeed chiefly, because it formulates and reiterates sound opinions upon the little-understood principles of the art of acting....  Perhaps the best work in English on the actor’s art.”—­Nation.

Berlioz’ Autobiography and Musical Grotesques. $2.00

PUBLISHED BY HENRY HOLT & CO.

ALBEMARLE’S (GEORGE THOMAS EARL OF) FIFTY YEARS OF MY LIFE.  With a Portrait by JEENS.  Large 12mo. $2.50.
