Life of Smollett. By David Hannay.
"A capital record of a writer who still remains one of the great masters of the English novel."—Saturday Review.
"Mr. Hannay is excellently equipped for writing the life of Smollett. As a specialist on the history of the eighteenth century navy, he is at a great advantage in handling works so full of the sea and sailors as Smollett's three principal novels. Moreover, he has a complete acquaintance with the Spanish romancers, from whom Smollet drew so much of his inspiration. His criticism is generally acute and discriminating; and his narrative is well arranged, compact, and accurate."—St. James's Gazette.

VOLUMES ALREADY ISSUED.
The Humour of France. Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by ELIZABETH LEE. With numerous Illustrations by PAUL FRENZENY.
"From Villon to Paul Verlaine, from dateless fabliaux to newspapers fresh from the kiosk, we have a tremendous range of selections."—Birmingham Daily Gazette.
"French wit is excellently represented. We have here examples of Villon, Rabelais, and Moliere, but we have specimens also of La Rochefoucauld, Regnard, Voltaire, Beaumarchais, Chamfort, Dumas, Gautier, Labiche, De Banville, Pailleron, and many others.... The book sparkles from beginning to end."—Globe.
The Humour of Germany. Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by HANS MUeLLER-CASENOV. With numerous Illustrations by C.E. BROCK.
"An excellently representative volume."—Daily Telegraph.
"Whether it is Saxon kinship or the fine qualities of the collection, we have found this volume the most entertaining of the three. Its riotous absurdities well overbalance its examples of the oppressively heavy.... The national impulse to make fun of the war correspondent has a capital example in the skit from Julius Stettenheim."—New York Independent.
The Humour of Italy. Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by A. WERNER. With 50 Illustrations and a Frontispiece by ARTURO FALDI.
"Will reveal to English readers a whole new world of literature."—Athenaeum.

Excellent also are one or two of the jokes and 'bulls' which figure under the heading of newspaper humour."—Literary World.

"There is not a dull page in the volume; it fairly sparkles and ripples with good things."—Manchester Examiner.
The Humour of Holland. Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by A. WERNER. With numerous Illustrations by DUDLEY HARDY.
"Apart from the quality of humour, one is much struck by the evidence that in Holland during the present day there is a genial literature, of which we have known nothing at all. The pictures, just on the verge of caricature mostly, are very well drawn."—The Bookman.
The Humour of Ireland. Selected by D.J. O'DONOGHUE. With numerous Illustrations by OLIVER PAQUE.
"A most conscientiously, exhaustively, excellently compiled book; the editor could not have done his work better."—The Speaker.
"Does all that such a volume possibly could do for the magnificent genius with which it grapples."—Chronicle.
The Humour of Spain. Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by SUSETTE M. TAYLOR. With numerous Illustrations by H.R. MILLAR.
"Mirth and entertainment are in the book entitled the Humour of Spain, as well as many quaint and unexpected side-lights on the social characteristics of an impressionable race. Miss Taylor displays a wide acquaintance with Spanish literature and contemporary life, and as her judgment as well as her knowledge is considerable, the result is a charming book."—The Speaker.
"The impression of the whole book is a good one, and it is admirably got up, and illustrated with great spirit. It should be very largely read."—Daily Chronicle.
The Humour of Russia. Translated, with Notes, by E.L. BOOLE, and an Introduction by STEPNIAK. With 50 Illustrations by PAUL FRENZENY.
"This is one of the most entertaining of the 'International Humour' Series, since it comprises some really exquisite examples of humour, such as Gogol's diverting little comedy, 'Marriage,' and Ostrovsky's delightful sketch, 'Incompatibility of Temper.'"—Saturday Review.
The Makers of British Art.
A Series of Illustrated Monographs
Edited by
James A. Manson.
Illustrated with Photogravure Portraits; Half-tone and Line Reproductions of the Best Pictures.
Square Crown 8vo, Cloth, $1.25 net.
Nothing in the social history of the later Victorian era was more remarkable than the growth of popular interest in Art. Doubtless this was largely due to the spread of education, which has not only disseminated knowledge, but also improved public taste. Nevertheless much of the credit must be ascribed to the influence exerted by the many Exhibitions, local as well as international, which have been held since the inaugural Show in London in 1851.
Extraordinary as was the development referred to, the most hopeful sign is that it has proved to be no mere passing symptom but has become a permanent feature of civic life. This new-birth has been fostered by municipal and private munificence alike. The leading corporations, such as those of the City of London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, and Nottingham in England; of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Dundee in Scotland; of Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide in the Australian Commonwealth; of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago in the United States, vie with each other in honourable rivalry for the acquisition of the greatest examples of old and modern masters.
In these circumstances it would be surprising if an irresistible popular demand had not grown up for information, of both a biographical and critical character, respecting the famous painters whose work has been so generally admired and whose names have become household words. In the case of the Old Masters this want has already been met, but no really satisfying series exists dealing avowedly with the most typical painters of the British School.
The Walter Scott Publishing Company, Limited, have accordingly made arrangements for the publication of a series of volumes bearing the title—
Makers of British Art.
Each book will be produced in the highest style of typographical excellence, and be illustrated with several of the choicest and most characteristic specimens of the artist's skill. The aim of the writers will be to narrate the life-history of the various painters in graphic and popular language, keeping the human interest of the subject well to the front, as well as to appreciate the men and their works. Whilst the appeal must be made to the great body of the art-loving public, the volumes will be commended to the student by Appendices giving in chronological order a list of the chief examples of each painter, together with such other relevant matter as will tend to make the series of lasting value both for the library and as works of reference.

NEW IDEAS ON BRIDGE.
BY ARCHIBALD DUNN, JUN.
The universal reception given to Bridge, and How to Play it, is a sufficient proof of Mr. Archibald Dunn's fitness to give us further views on this increasingly popular and exciting game. In this volume the author deals with the many points of contention at present agitating the minds of Bridge players. In particular, he advances a novel theory as to "Declarations" and "Doubling," which is not unlikely to revolutionise existing methods, and to result in placing these two difficulties of the game on a thoroughly sound and solid basis.
CONTENTS:—Common-sense in Bridge Declarations—Science of Bridge Declarations—Doubling and Re-doubling—Some Points of the Game—Bridge v. Whist—Chaos of Bridge—Great Imperfection of Bridge.

"Mr. Havelock Ellis belongs, in some measure, to the continental school of anthropologists; but while equally methodical in the collection of facts, he is far more cautious in the invention of theories, and he has the further distinction of being not only able to think, but able to write. His book is a sane and impartial consideration, from a psychological and anthropological point of view, of a subject which is certainly of primary interest."-Athenaeum.

IBSEN'S DRAMAS.
Edited by William Archer.
12mo, CLOTH, PRICE $1.25 PER VOLUME.
"We seem at last to be shown men and women as they are; and at first it is more than we can endure.... All Ibsen's characters speak and act as if they were hypnotised, and under their creator's imperious demand to reveal themselves. There never was such a mirror held up to nature before: it is too terrible.... Yet we must return to Ibsen, with his remorseless surgery, his remorseless electric-light, until we, too, have grown strong and learned to face the naked—if necessary, the flayed and bleeding—reality."—SPEAKER (London).

"We have seldom, if ever, met with a translation so absolutely idiomatic."—Glasgow Herald.
