" We say at once that more admirably-written and interesting narratives are scarcely to be found in any literature. Nobler subjects of biography could not have been chosen, and higher praise it is impossible to bestow on a writer than to say, as we do of this author, that he is fully equal to such a theme Mr. Kaye's * Lives of Indian Officers' will take a high place among the standard books of England." — Athenaeum.

The Disciple, and other Poems.

By George MacDonald, LL.D., Author of " Within and Without," &c. Crown 8vo. 6s.

" Mr. MacDonald is, before all else, a poet. His poems are, after all, his best productions. . . . No extracts and no phrase of criticism could convey to the reader any idea of that peculiarly beautiful aroma of spirituality floating always in the moon-like tenderness of his manner, which constitutes the true individuality of Mr. MacDonald as a writer. Of its order this volume is unique, and it is full of wisdom, beauty, and exhilarating brightness. ' —
