LIFE OF BURNS.  By Professor Blackie. 
“The editor certainly made a hit when he persuaded Blackie to write
about Burns.”—­Pall Mall Gazette.

LIFE OF VICTOR HUGO-By Frank T. Marzials.  “Mr. Marzials’s volume presents to us, in a more handy form than any English, or even French handbook gives, the summary of what, up to the moment in which we write, is known or conjectured about the life of the great poet.”—­Saturday Review.

LIFE OF EMERSON.  By Richard Garnett, LL.D.  “As to the larger section of the public, ... no record of Emerson’s life and work could be more desirable, both in breadth of treatment and lucidity of style, than Dr. Garnett’s.”—­Saturday Review.

LIFE OF GOETHE.  By James Sime.  “Mr. James Sime’s competence as a biographer of Goethe, both in respect of knowledge of his special subject, and of German literature generally, is beyond question.”—­Manchester Guardian.

LIFE OF CONGREVE.  By Edmund Gosse.  “Mr. Gosse has written an admirable and most interesting biography of a man of letters who is of particular interest to other men of letters."-The Academy.

LIFE OF BUNYAN.  By Canon Venables. 
“A most intelligent, appreciative, and valuable memoir.”—­Scotsman.

LIFE OF CRABBE.  By T.E.  Kebbel.  “No English poet since Shakespeare has observed certain aspects of nature and of human life more closely; ...  Mr. Kebbel’s monograph is worthy of the subject.”—­Athenaeum.

LIFE OF HEINE.  By William Sharp.  “This is an admirable monograph ... more fully written up to the level of recent knowledge and criticism of its theme than any other English work.”—­Scotsman.

LIFE OF MILL.  By W.L.  Courtney. 
“A most sympathetic and discriminating memoir.”—­Glasgow Herald.

LIFE OF SCHILLER.  By Henry W. Nevinson.  “Presents the leading facts of the poet’s life in a neatly rounded picture, and gives an adequate critical estimate of each of Schiller’s separate works and the effect of the whole upon literature.”—­Scotsman.

LIFE OF CAPTAIN MARRYAT.  By David Hannay.  “We have nothing but praise for the manner in which Mr. Hannay has done justice to him whom he well calls ’one of the most brilliant and the least fairly recognised of English novelists.’”—­Saturday Review.
