DECEPTIVENESS of BOOK- 

 TITLES. — In nothing are the Public 

 more apt to be deceived than in the Title of a 

 Book. Many editions, for example, of Byron's 

 and Sir Walter Scott's "Poetical Works" are 

 published, by some of which, unfortunately, 

 the Public are too easily entrapped. 'They 

 trust to a Book containing all its title pro- 

 fesses, whereas with such Books as Byron and 

 Scott's " Poetical Works." the real state of the 

 case is, that no complete or proper editions 

 exist except those published by the holders of 

 the Copyrights, MESSRS. JOHN MURRAY, 

 London, and A. & C. BLACK, of Edinburgh. 

 Messrs. Black's Edition of Sir Walter Scott's 

 Poetry is the cheapest published {hs.}. and yet 

 numerous editions find their way into the 

 market at the same price, which want the 

 whole of -'The Lord of the Isles," one of 

 Scott's best and principal poems, of six cantos, 

 and in the smallest type, extending to upwards 

 of one hundred pages. It is certainly desirable 

 that, when an edition containing this Poem 

 can be got along with others for the same 

 money, it should he taken in preference to any 

 other ! and yet there are sold every year, at 

 the same price, thousands of other copies want- 

 ing the whcleof this Poem, which, being Copy- 

 right, cannot be included in any edition except 

 that bearing the impilnt of

ECHOES OF THE WAR. 

 By H. S. STOKES. 



" Mr. Stokes won something like a name by 

 his pastoral panoramas, and his melodious 

 descriptions of the Vale of Lanherne. These 

 ' Echoes of the War ' are astir with life, with 

 activity, with triumph, and are, to our think- 

 ing, among the most successful of those Poems, 

 named Legion, which have sung of Crimean 

 victories." — Critic. 



" Written with much grace and feeling, and 

 a thorough Eaglish spirit, these little poems 

 are calculated to increase the reputation which 

 Mr. Stokes obtained by the publication of his 

 ' Vale of Lanherne.' " — N'otes and Queries.

" True feeling, a thorough sense and relish

 ment, and refined expression, are the charac- 

 teristics of Mr. Stokes s book ." — .Examiner.
