7. Wenderholme: a Story of Lancashire and Yorkshire, Lon., 1869, 3 vols. 8. The Unknown River: an Etcher's Voyage of Discovery. Illust. Lon., 1870, r. 8vo; 2d ed., 1873, p. 8vo. 9.

10. The Intellectual Life, Lon., 1873, p. 8vo.

Commonplace as the substratum must necessarily be, Mr. Hamerton succeeds in being almost invariably interesting. We do not say that he never falls into platitude. That is a compliment which we could not conscientiously pay to any writer of moral essays with whom we are acquainted. But he succeeds in so illustrating old truths that they come with a certain agreeable freshness."-Sat. Rev., xxxv. 686.

Perhaps the chief merit of Mr. Hamerton's work is the way in which he insists upon the great truth-equally true in literature, science, and art-that for the very smallest result of any value which the outside world can see, there has been an almost intolerable amount of previous drudgery, of which the outside spectator takes no heed." -Ath., No. 2375.

11. Chapters on Animals. Illust. Lon., 1873, 8vo; 4th ed., 1883. 12. (Ed.) Examples of Modern Etching: Twenty Plates, with Notes, Lon., 1874, fol. 13. Harry Blount: Passages in a Boy's Life on Land and Sea, Lon., 1875, p. 8vo. "The story perhaps is not very much in itself, but there is a certain freshness in the incidents and in the characters that is not a little attractive "-Sat. Rev., xxxix. 160.

14. Round my House: Notes of Rural Life in France in Peace and War, Lon., 1875, sq. 12mo; 4th ed., 1880. 15. The Sylvan Year: Leaves from the Note-Book of Raoul Dubois: with Etchings by the Author and other Artists, Lon., 1876.

"The body of the book is chiefly made up of notes on the aspect of the woods at different seasons of the year, the trees which are in leaf, and the varieties of green and brown and red that their leaves present, the plants which make the most show in the foreground, and the flowers which by their number give a general tint to the landscape. But the author makes no attempt to furnish a systematic calendar of vegetation, nor, on the other hand, does he confine himself to mere description of the external aspects of nature. Where occasion offers, he branches off into matters literary, artistic, or didactic, watching with Chaucer the opening of the daisie,' sentimentalizing with Wordsworth over the lesser celandine, or moralizing on his own account on the nest-building of birds and other rural pursuits."-Spectator, xlix. 436.

16. Marmorne. This Story is told by Adolphus Segrave, the Youngest of Three Brothers. Bost. and Edin., 1878, p. 8vo. Anon.

"The author has intense artistic susceptibilities, while he is thoroughly conversant with French landscape and architecture. The construction of his plot is clever.... His characters are sketched with rare precision and capacity, and with no little originality agreeably flavoured with humour. . . . He has written a novel which is extremely fascinating and eminently picturesque."-Sat. Rev.,

xiv. 215.

17. Modern Frenchmen: Five Biographies, Lon.. 1878. p. 8vo.

"The five persons chosen by Mr. Hamerton to have their lives written are Victor Jacquemont, Henri Perreyve, Rude, Jean Jacques Ampère, and Henri Regnault.. ... He has made a book containing the lives of five almost unknown Frenchmen which deserves to be popular, a book which it is pleasant to read, and which, once read, is not likely to be forgotten."-Sat. Rev, xlv. 760.

18. The Life of J. M. W. Turner, R.A.: with Nine Illustrations etched by Brunet Debaines, Lon., 1879, p. "The materials are full, condensed, and clear: earnest ness of thought occasionally rises into eloquence, and a pervading cheerfulness and healthfulness of tone make the book companionable and pleasant."-Sat. Rev., xlvii. 467.

with each other in the production of a volume which is in
every respect solid, tasteful, and complete."--Ath., No. 2872.
'He does not take a sufficiently comprehensive view,
nor consider enough the subject of graphic art in general,
to convey an entirely right conception of the normal
characteristics of design in the various processes of paint-
Nevertheless, what Mr.
ing, drawing, and engraving.
Hamerton says of the various graphic processes contains a
great deal that is highly interesting and instructive."-
Nation, xxxiv. 548. See a letter from Mr. Hamerton, in
answer to this review, in the Nation, xxxv. 134.

20. Human Intercourse, Lon., 1884. 8vo.

"It is in new speculation that the book falls so lamentably short. We look in vain for subtle analysis of thought and feeling, for fresh distinction between friendship and love, or between the friendship of persons of the same and persons of different sexes, in fact, for any new word upon those thousand points in human intercourse which modern life and modern culture have made increasingly difficult to manage successfully."-Spectator, lviii. 519. 21. Paris in Old and Present Times: with Especial Reference to Changes in its Architecture and Topography, Lon., 1884, fol. 22. Landscape. Illust. Lon., 1885, fol. "Its dominant idea,' as the author tells us in his pref ace, is the influence of natural landscape upon man,' and although art (and especially the limits of it) is constantly brought before the reader, it takes the second place in the text, and the assertion of its power and beauty is left mainly to the illustrations."-Sat. Rev., 1x. 360. "The author of The Graphic Arts' and Etching and Etchers' has been blessed with extraordinary good fortune in producing this magnum opus. He has chosen a noble subject, he has devoted all his energies and indomitable patience to its treatment, and he has been seconded by his publishers with such unwonted courage, zeal, and taste that the superb volume before us may be said to represent, so far as this country is concerned, illustration, decoration, typography, and taste in binding at their best."-Ath., No.

2999.

23. Imagination in Landscape Painting. Illust. Lon., 1886, fol.; 2d ed., 1887. (Reprinted from "The Portfolio," with additional illustrations.)

"Mr. Hamerton divides the imagination of the landscape painter into two kinds,-the first of which is simple ocular memory, and the second the power of combining and fusing remembered images into one pictorial whole. Scattered here and there in this book, sometimes where it is least expected, we come upon notes and hints of intermediate kinds of imagination; and we hope that some day he will work upon this field in a more systematic manner. "-COSMO MONKHOUSE: Acad., xxxi. 98.

24. The Saône: a Summer Voyage: with One Hundred and Forty-Eight Illustrations by Joseph Pennell and the Author, and Four Maps, Lon.. 1887, r. 8vo.

"His book leaves a stimulating after-flavour of open-air exercise enjoyed without stupidity, and of rough living judiciously purged of useless brutality or hardship."-Sal. Rev., 1xiv. 865. The narrative... is delightful throughout."-Spectator, lx. 1679.

"He looks so fairly round a question, and advances his conclusions with such moderation, that opposition is disarmed. Indeed, his function would seem to be rather to throw light on all sides of a subject than to penetrate its mystery."-Sat. Rev., 1x. 360.
