Life of Sheridan. By Lloyd Sanders. 



" To say that Mr. Lloyd Sanders, in this volume, has produced the 

 best existing memoir of Sheridan is really to award much fainter praise 

 than the book deserves." Manchester Guardian.

 practical knowledge of the stage of Sheridan's day." Satttrday Review.

 economic science." Scotsman.

 who well understands his theme, and who knows how to elucidate it." 

 Scottish Leader.

 Haidane's book as his first text-book." Graphic. 



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 acquaint- 

 ance with the Spanish romancers, from whom Smollett drew so much of 

 his inspiration. His criticism is generally acute and discriminating; and 

 his narrative is well arranged, compact, and accurate." St. fames' s 

 Gazette.

 very real and true things." Mrs. ANNE THACKERAY RITCHIE on 

 " Thackeray and his Biographers," in Illustrated London News
