+Illustrations. Third Edition, 8vo. 21_s_.
+
+_Sir Samuel Baker here describes twelve months' exploration, during which
+he examined the rivers that are tributary to the Nile from Abyssinia,
+including the Atbara, Settite, Royan, Salaam, Angrab, Rahad, Dinder, and
+the Blue Nile. The interest attached to these portions of Africa differs
+entirely from that of the White Nile regions, as the whole of Upper Egypt
+and Abyssinia is capable of development, and is inhabited by races having
+some degree of civilization; while Central Africa is peopled by a race of
+savages, whose future is more problematical_.
+
+THE ALBERT N'YANZA Great Basin of the Nile, and Exploration of the Nile
+Sources. New and cheaper Edition, with Portraits, Maps, and Illustrations.
+Two vols. crown 8vo. 16_s_.
+
+"_Bruce won the source of the Blue Nile; Speke and Grant won the Victoria
+source of the great White Nile; and I have been permitted to succeed in
+completing the Nile Sources by the discovery of the great reservoir of the
+equatorial waters, the Albert N'yanza, from which the river issues as the
+entire White Nile_."--_Preface_.

+cloth, 4_s_. 6_d_.
+
+_The First Part of this work, originally read before the Statistical
+Society of London, deals with the Amount of Taxation; the Second Part,
+which now constitutes the main portion of the work, is almost entirely
+new, and embraces the important questions of Rating, of the relative
+Taxation of Land, Personalty, and Industry, and of the direct effect of
+Taxes upon Prices. The author trusts that the body of facts here collected
+may be of permanent value as a record of the past progress and present
+condition of the population of the United Kingdom, independently of the
+transitory circumstances of its present Taxation._

+Portrait.
+
+"_I have divided the Speeches contained in these volumes into groups. The
+materials for selection are so abundant, that I have been constrained to
+omit many a speech which is worthy of careful perusal. I have naturally
+given prominence to those subjects with which Mr. Bright has been
+especially identified, as, for example, India, America, Ireland, and
+Parliamentary Reform. But nearly every topic of great public interest on
+which Mr. Bright has spoken is represented in these volumes._"--_Editor's

+M.P. Cheap Edition. Crown 8vo. 6_s_.
+
+_"Mr. Dilke has written a book which is probably as well worth reading as
+any book of the same aims and character that ever was written. Its merits
+are that it is written in a lively and agreeable style, that it implies a
+great deal of physical pluck, that no page of it fails to show an acute
+and highly intelligent observer, that it stimulates the imagination as
+well as the judgment of the reader, and that it is on perhaps the most
+interesting subject that can attract an Englishman who cares about his
+country."_--_SATURDAY REVIEW_.

+
+_"From the first page to the last the book claims careful reading, as
+being a full but not overcrowded rehearsal of a most instructive life, and

+HISTORY OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, from the Foundation of the Achaian League
+to the Disruption of the United States. By _Edward A. Freeman_, M.A. Vol.
+I. General Introduction. History of the Greek Federations. 8vo. 21_s_.
+
+_"The task Mr. Freeman has undertaken is one of great magnitude and
+importance. It is also a task of an almost entirely novel character. No
+other work professing to give the history of a political principle occurs
+to us, except the slight contributions to the history of representative
+government that is contained in a course of M. Guizof's lectures.... The
+history of the development of a principle is at least as important as the
+history of a dynasty, or of a race."_--_Saturday Review_.

+plays, from King John to King Henry VIII.; Notes on Characters in Macbeth
+and Hamlet; Persons and Places belonging to Warwickshire alluded to. Part
+II.--The Shakspeare and Arden families and their connexions, with Tables
+of descent. The present is the first attempt to give a detailed
+description, in consecutive order, of each of the_ dramatis personæ _in
+Shakspeare's immortal chronicle-histories, and some of the characters have
+been, it is believed, herein identified for the first time. A clue is
+furnished which, followed up with ordinary diligence, may enable any one,
+with a taste for the pursuit, to trace a distinguished Shakspearean worthy
+to his lineal representative in the present day._

+----------------------------------
+
+
+JUVENTUS MUNDI. The Gods and Men of the Heroic Age. Crown 8vo. cloth
+extra. With Map. 10_s_. 6_d_.
+
+_This new work of Mr. Gladstone deals especially with the historic element
+in Homer, expounding that element, and furnishing by its aid a full
+account of the Homeric men and the Homeric religion. It starts, after the
+introductory chapter, with a discussion of the several races then existing
+in Hellas, including the influence of the Phoenicians and Egyptians. It
+contains chapters on the Olympian system, with its several deities; on the
+Ethics and the Polity of the Heroic age; on the geography of Homer; on the
+characters of the Poems; presenting, in fine, a view of primitive life and
+primitive society as found in the poems of Homer._
+
+"GLOBE" ATLAS OF EUROPE. Uniform in size with Macmillan's Globe Series,
+containing 45 Coloured Maps, on a uniform scale and projection; with Plans
+of London and Paris, and a copious Index. Strongly bound in half-morocco,
+with flexible back, 9_s_.
+
+_This Atlas includes all the countries of Europe in a series of 48 Maps,
+drawn on the same scale, with an Alphabetical Index to the situation of
+more than ten thousand places, and the relation of the various maps and
+countries to each other is defined in a general Key-map. All the maps
+being on a uniform scale facilitates the comparison of extent and
+distance, and conveys a just impression of the relative magnitude of
+different countries. The size suffices to show the provincial divisions,
+the railways and main roads, the principal rivers and mountain ranges.
+"This atlas," writes the_ British Quarterly_, "will be an invaluable boon
+for the school, the desk, or the traveller's portmanteau."_

+
+HISTORICAL SELECTIONS. Readings from the best Authorities on English and
+European History. Selected and arranged by _E.M. Sewell_ and _C.M. Yonge_.
+Crown 8vo. 6_s_.
+
+_When young children have acquired the outlines of history from
+abridgements and catechisms, and it becomes desirable to give a more
+enlarged view of the subject, in order to render it really useful and
+interesting, a difficulty often arises as to the choice of books. Two
+courses are open, either to take a general and consequently dry history of
+facts, such as Russell's Modern Europe, or to choose some work treating of
+a particular period or subject, such as the works of Macaulay and Froude.
+The former course usually renders history uninteresting; the latter is
+unsatisfactory, because it is not sufficiently comprehensive. To remedy
+this difficulty, selections, continuous and chronological, have in the
+present volume been taken from the larger works of Freeman, Milman,
+Palgrave, and others, which may serve as distinct landmarks of historical
+reading. "We know of scarcely anything," says the_ Guardian, _of this
+volume, "which is so likely to raise to a higher level the average
+standard of English education."_

+THE SEVEN WEEKS' WAR; its Antecedents and its Incidents. By _H.M. Hozier_.
+With Maps and Plans. Two vols. 8vo. 28_s_.
+
+_This work is based upon letters reprinted by permission from_ "The
+Times." _For the most part it is a product of a personal eye-witness of
+some of the most interesting incidents of a war which, for rapidity and
+decisive results, may claim an almost unrivalled position in history._

+THE ANNALS OF OUR TIME. A Diurnal of Events, Social and Political, which
+have happened in or had relation to the Kingdom of Great Britain, from the
+Accession of Queen Victoria to the Opening of the present Parliament. By
+_Joseph Irving_. 8vo. half-bound. 18_s_.
+
+_"We have before us a trusty and ready guide to the events of the past
+thirty years, available equally for the statesman, the politician, the
+public writer, and the general reader. If Mr. Irving's object has been to
+bring before the reader all the most noteworthy occurrences which have
+happened since the beginning of Her Majesty's reign, he may justly claim
+the credit of having done so most briefly, succinctly, and simply, and in
+such a manner, too, as to furnish him with the details necessary in each
+case to comprehend the event of which he is in search in an intelligent
+manner. Reflection will serve to show the great value of such a work as
+this to the journalist and statesman, and indeed to every one who feels an
+interest in the progress of the age; and we may add that its value is
+considerably increased by the addition of that most important of all
+appendices, an accurate and instructive index_."--_Times_.

+
+_Since the time of Lord Burleigh no one, except the second Pitt, ever
+enjoyed so long a tenure of power; with the same exception, no one ever
+held office at so critical a time.... Lord Liverpool is the very last
+minister who has been able fully to carry out his own political views; who
+has been so strong that in matters of general policy the Opposition could
+extort no concessions from him which were not sanctioned by his own
+deliberate judgment. The present work is founded almost entirely on the
+correspondence left behind him by Lord Liverpool, and now in the

+LIFE OF JOHN MILTON. Narrated in connexion with the Political,

+LL.D., Professor of Rhetoric at Edinburgh. Vol. I. with Portraits. 8vo.
+18_s_. Vol. II. in the Press.
+
+_It is intended to exhibit Milton's life in its connexions with all the

+and speculative thought. Commencing in 1608, the Life of Milton proceeds
+through the last sixteen years of the reign of James I., includes the
+whole of the reign of Charles I. and the subsequent years of the
+Commonwealth and the Protectorate, and then, passing the Restoration,
+extends itself to 1674, or through fourteen years of the new state of
+things under Charles II. The first volume deals with the life of Milton as
+extending from 1608 to 1640, which was the period of his education and of

+_A sort of impression rests on most minds that French literature begins
+with the "siecle de Louis Quatorze;" any previous literature being for the

+activity that began in the thirteenth century, was carried on by Rulebeuf,
+Marie de France, Gaston de Foix, Thibault de Champagne, and Lorris; was
+fostered by Charles of Orleans, by Margaret of Valois, by Francis the
+First; that gave a crowd of versifiers to France, enriched, strengthened,
+developed, and fixed the French language, and prepared the way for
+Corneille and for Racine. The present work aims to afford information and
+direction touching the early efforts of France in poetical literature._
