VERSE TRANSLATIONS FROM GREEK AND LATIN POETS.

By ARTHUR D. INNES, M.A. Large post 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 5s. net.

"A finely varied classical garland. . . . We would fain have a whole book of Virgil from a translator who renders 'Inter se coiisse viros et cernere ferro' by 'Crash in the stern arbitrament of steel.' . . Will not Mr. Innes give us something more ambitious?"-National Observer, October 20, 1894.

"It is not every lover of the classics who can be his own translator of them; it is not every translator who can be the publisher of his own translations. But Mr. Innes can, and he has admirably performed both functions."-Daily Chronicle.

SEERS AND SINGERS. A Study of Five English Poets (BROWNING, TENNYSON, WORDSWORTH, MATTHEW ARNOLD, and Mrs. BROWNING). By ARTHUR D. INNES, M.A. Cloth antique extra, gilt top, 5s.

"Never were great poets and their gifts to us dealt with in a more reverential and yet discriminating fashion. Comments and criticisms are alike delicate and suggestive. All followers of the great five should possess this litle book, whose dainty get up is still its least charm."-Pall Mall Gazette.

SOCIETY IN CHINA. By ROBERT K. DOUGLAS, An Account of the Everyday Life of the Chinese People: Social, Political, and Religious. Demy 8vo, cloth, with 22 Illustrations. Second Edition. Price 16s.

"Not only does Mr. Douglas's book supply a complete conspectus of the polity, institutions, manners, and sentiments of this petrified race, but it reviews clearly the history of foreign relations with China, and points a moral which British diplomatists would do well to lay to heart in future difficulties with China." Times.

By ANTHONY Hope.

HALF A HERO. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
