Very few

know the name of the author. It was written by a German in England, during the last century, and published in the English language. His name was Rudolph Erich Raspe. We shall not soon look upon his like again."-Boston Post. Owlglass (MASTER TYLL), The Marvellous Adventures and Rare Conceits of. Edited, with an Introduction, and a Critical and Bibliographical Appendix, by KENNETH R. H. MACKENZIE, F.S.A., with six coloured full-page Illustrations, and twenty-six Woodcuts, from original designs by ALFRED CROWQUILL. Price 10s. 6d., bound in embossed cloth, richly gilt, with appropriate design; or neatly half-bound morocco, gilt top, uncut, Roxburgh style.

"Tyll's fame has gone abroad into all lands; this, the narrative of his exploits, has been published in innumerable editions, even with all manner of learned glosses, and translated into Latin, English, French, Dutch, Polish, etc. We may say that to few mortals has it been granted to earn such a place in universal history as Tyll: for now, after five centuries, when Wallace's birthplace is unknown, even to the Scots, and the Admirable Crichton still_more rapidly is grown a shadow, and Edward Longshanks sleeps unregarded, save by a few antiquarian English, Tyll's native village is pointed out with pride to the traveller, and his tombstone, with a sculptured pun on his name -namely, an Owl and a Glass, still stands, or pretends to stand, at Möllen, near Lübeck, where, since 1350, his once nimble bones have been at rest."-Thomas Carlyle's Essays, vol. ii. pp. 287, 288.

A book for the antiquary, for the satirist, and the historian of satire; for the boy who reads for adventure's sake for the grown person, loving every fiction that has a character in it... Mr. Mackenzie's language is quaint, racy, and antique, without a tiresome stiffness. The book, as it stands, is a welcome piece of English reading, with hardly a dry or tasteless morsel in it. We fancy that few Christmas books will be put forth more peculiar and characteristic than this comely English version of the Adventures of Tyll Owlglass.'"' Athenæum.

"A volume of rare beauty, finely printed on tinted paper, and profusely adorned with chromo-lithographs and woodcuts in Alfred Crowquill's best manner. Wonderful has been the popularity of Tyll Eulenspiegel. surpassing even that of the Pilgrim's ProPreciosa; A Tale. Fcp. 8vo. Pp. 326, gress."-Spectator. cloth, 7s. 6d. 1852.

"A bridgeless chasm seems to stand between us and the unexplored world of feeling. We do not hesitate to say that there are passages in it which, for the power of transporting the reader across the intervening depth, and of clothing in an intelligible form the dim creation of passionate imagination, have scarcely a rival in English prose."-Morning Chronicle.

"Marked by qualities which we are accustomed to associate with the maturity of a writer's powers."-Guardian

"Exquisitely beautiful writing. ..... It is full of sighs and lovers' aspirations, with many charming fancies and poetic thoughts. It is Petrarch and Laura over again, and the numerous quotations from the Italian interspersed, together with images suggested by the passionate melodies of the great composers, pretty clearly indicate the burden which runs like a rich refrain throughout. Of its execution we have the right to speak in terms of unqualified praise."-Weekly Dispatch.

"The translation of Mr. Arnold has been held more truly to represent the spirit of Göthe's great poem than any other version of the legend.

"There is no novelty, except to purchasers of Christmas books, in Kaulbach's admirable illustrations of the world-famous Reynard the Fox, Among all the English translations Mr. T. J. Arnold holds at least his own, and we do not know that this edition, published by Trübner, with the Kaulbach engravings, reduced and faithfully rendered on wood, does not stand in the very first rank of the series we are commenting upon. Mr. Harrison Weir is a good artist, but in true comic power he is far inferior to Kaulbach. We do not see how this volume can, in its way, be excelled."-Saturday Review.

"Göthe's Reinecke Fuchs' is a marvel of genius and poetic art Reynard the Fox is more blessed than Alexander: his story has been written by one of the greatest of the human race, and another of inimitable genius has added to the poet's narrative the auxiliary light of the painter's skill. Perhaps no artistnot even our own Landseer, nor the French Gavarni-ever excelled Kaulbach in the art of efusing a human expression into the countnances and attributes of brutes; and this marvellous skill he has exerted in the highest degree in the illustrations to the book before us."-Illustrated News of the World.

THE HISTORY OF ANCIENT ART AMONG THE GREEKS. By JOHN WINCKELMANN. From the Ger man, by G. H. LODGE. Beautifully Illustrated. 8vo. Pp. viii. and 254 cloth, 12s. 1850.

"That Winckelmann was well fitted for the task of writing a History of Ancient Art, no one can deny who is acquainted with his profound learning and genius. He undoubtedly possessed, in the highest degree, the power of appreciating artistic skill wherever it was me with, but never more so than when seen in the garb of antiquity. The work is o

no common order,' and a careful study of the great principles embodied in it must necessarily tend to form a pure, correct, and elevated taste. Eclectic Review.

"The work is throughout lucid, and free from the pedantry of technicality. Its clearness constitutes its great charm. It does not discuss any one subject at great length, but aims at a general view of Art, with attention to its minute developments. It is, if we may use the phrase a Grammar of Greek Art, a sine qua non to all who would thoroughly investigate its language of form." Literary World.

E. RAVENSTEIN, F.R.G.S. In demy 8vo., with a Portrait, two Maps, and twelve Plates, price 21s., cloth.

"Dr. Krapf and his colleagues have largely contributed to the most important geographical discovery of modern times namely, that the centre of Africa is not occupied, as was formerly thought, by a chain of mountains, but by a series of great inland lakes, some of which are hundreds thrown so much light on the formation of the of miles in length. Hardly any one discovery has earth's surface as this."-Saturday Review.

"Dr. Krapf's work is superior in interest to to the well-known narrative of Moffatt; in some parts, it is equal in novelty to the most attractive chapters of Barth and Livingstone. Dr. Krapf travels well, and writes as a traveller should write, and seldom claims any indulgence from the reader."-Athenæum.

"Scarcely any pages in Livingstone exceed in interest some of Dr. Krapf's adventures. The whole volume, so full of interest, will well repay the most careful perusal."-Literary Gazette.

"We never came across a work which more conscientiously and accurately does exactly what it professes to do."-Spectator.

"The interest of these volumes lies partly in the narrative of travel they contain, and partly in the stores of information on all kinds of subjects with which they abound."— Saturday Review.

"The work is written in a pleasant and readable style, and will be a necessary companion for travellers through the countries of which it treats."-Literary Gazette.

Ravenstein. THE RUSSIANS ON THE AMUR; its Discovery, Conquest, and Colonization, with a Description of the Country, its Inhabitants, Productions, and Commercial Capabilities, and Personal Accounts of Russian Travellers.

In one volume, 8vo., 500 pp. of Letter Press, 4 tinted Lithographs, and 3 Maps, handsomely bound. Price 15s., in cloth.

"This is a work of real and permanent value. Mr. Ravenstein has set himself a weighty task, and has performed it well. It is, we think, impossible to name any subject bearing upon the Amur, which is not considered in this volume."

-Economist.

"Mr. Ravenstein's work is worthy of high commendation. It throws much additional and

interesting light on a country but comparatively little known."-Morning Advertiser.

"It is a perfect handbook of the Amur, and will be consulted by the historian, the politician, the geographer, the naturalist, the ethnologist, the merchant and the general reader, with equal interest and profit."-Colburn's New Monthly Magazine.

The most complete and comprehensive work on the Amur that we have seen."-New Quarterly Review.

"The expectations excited by the announcement of this pregnant volume are amply fulfilled by its execution. The book bears evidence in every page of the toil and conscientiousness of the author. It is packed full with valuable information. There is not a word thrown away; and the care with which the facts are marshalled, attests the great pains and consideration that have been bestowed upon the plan of the work." -Home News.

"It is a thoroughly conscientious work, and furnishes very full information on all points of interest. The illustrations are extremely good; the maps are excellent."-The Press.

"Mr. Ravenstein's book contains the fullest and latest accounts of Russia's annexations in oriental quarters, and is, therefore, a highly valuable and useful addition to English knowledge thereof."-Dublin Nation.

"Mr. Ravenstein has produced a work of solid information--a capital book of reference-on a subject concerning which Englishmen will, before long, desire all the trustworthy information they can get."-Globe.

"In conclusion, we must compliment Mr. Ravenstein on the skill which he has shown asa

compiler. He himself has never visited t Amur; and has composed his work entirely fr done it so well, that few readers except the the accounts of previous travellers. But he h whose business it is to be suspicious, would ha found it out, if it had not been acknowledged the preface."-Literary Budget.

"The book has, of course, no pretensions the freshness of a narrative of personal explor tion and adventure, but it is by no means u pleasant reading, even from this point of vie while for those who are possessed of a geograph cal taste, which is in some degree a thing apart, will have a high degree of interest.-Spectato "This book is a good honest book-a book the was needed, and that may be referred to as a r liable source of information."-Athenæum.

"The work before us is full of important an accurate information."-London Review. "His book is by far the most comprehensiv review of all that has been observed and asce tained of a little-known portion of Asia."Guardian.

"There is a breadth and massiveness about th work which mark it off very distinctly from th light books of travel or history which are writte to amuse a railroad traveller, or a subscriber t Mudie's."-China Telegraph.

"The volume deserves a careful perusal, an it will be found exceedingly instructive."

Observer.

"The aim of Mr. Ravenstein has been to mak his book one of authority, and in this he ha certainly been most successful."-Bell's Mes senger.

"We are fortunate, too, in our opportunity for it would be hard to find a more careful of trustworthy guide than Mr. Ravenstein, who has not only availed himself of all accessible publications on the subject, but has also enjoyed communication with Russian officers who had the immense advantage of holding personal served on the Amur."-Allen's Indian Mail. formation is a perfect magazine of knowledge,
