SPANISH LITERATURE. 



By James Fitz Maurice-Kelly, Mem- 

 ber of the Spanish Academy. 

 " This is an excellent and model handbook. 

 It is treated with perspective and proportion ; it is 

 comprehensive, clear, concise, yet not dry as dust ; 

 the judgments are judicial, impartial, and well on 

 the hither side of exaggeration ; the style is good, 

 lucid, and interesting. ... It is a work well done 

 by one who has a thorough grip of his subject, and 

 has thought out its essentials before he set pen to 

 paper." — Academy {London). 



ITALIAN LITERATURE. 



By Richard Garnett, C. B., LL. D., 

 Keeper of Printed Books in the Brit- 

 ish Museum. 

 " Dr. Garnett's book is so excellent, in view of 

 the ground it covers, so critical, so instructive, that, 

 when one finishes it, it is with regret that there was 

 not more of it." — New York Mail and Express. 



ANCIENT GREEK LITERATURE. 



By Gilbert Mu-rray, M. A., Professor of 

 Greek in the University of Glasgow. 



" Mr. Murray has produced a book which fairly 

 represents the best conclusions of modern scholar- 

 ship with regard to the Greeks." — London Times. 



FRENCH LITERATURE. 



By Edward Dowden, D. C. L., LL. D., 

 Professor of English Literature at the 



University of Dublin. 

 " Certainly the best history of French literature 

 in the English language." — London Atheiueu?n. 



MODERN ENGLISH LITERATURE. 



By the Editor. 



" Mr. Gosse's most ambitious book, and prob- 

 ably his best. It bears on every page the traces 

 of a genuine love for his subject, and of a lively 

 critical intelligence. Moreover, it is extremely 

 readable — more readable, in fact, than any other 

 single volume dealing with this same vast subject 

 that we can call to mind." — London Times. 



These books are for sale by all booksellers ; or they will 

 be sent by mail on receipt 0/ price by the publishers,
