Howell's The Conflicts of Capital and 



Labour, Historically and Economically considered. Being a 

 History and Review of the Trade Unions of Great Britain, show- 

 ing their Origin, Progress, Constitution, and Objects, in their 

 Political, Social, Economical, and Industrial Aspects. By GEORGE 

 HOWELL. 



" This book is an attempt, and on the -whole a successful attempt, to place the 

 work of trade unions in the past, and their objects in the future, fairly before the 

 public from the working man's point of "view." ' P 'ALL MALL GAZETTE. 



"A complete account of trades unions, involving the most candid statement of 

 their objects and aspirations, their virtues and faults, is of great value ; and such 

 Mr. Howell 's book will be found by those who consult it. . . . Far from being 

 the impassioned utterance of an advocate, it is, on the contrary, a calm, authorita- 

 tive statement of facts, and the expression of the views of the workmen and their 

 leaders. . . . The book is a storehouse of facts, some of tJiem extremely -well 

 arranged. .... His book is ofprofound interest. We have no hesitation in 

 giving it our hearty praise" ECHO.

Jeux d'E sprit y 



Written and Spoken, of the Later Wits and Humourists. Collected 

 and Edited by HENRY S. LEIGH. 



" This thoroughly congenial piece of work . . . Mr. Leigh! s claim to praise is 

 threefold : he has performed the duty of taster with care and judgment ; he has 

 restored many stolen or strayed bons-mots to their rightful owners ; and he has 

 exercised his editorial functions delicately and sparingly." DAILY TELEGRAPH.

Kavanaghs' Pearl Fountain, 



And other Fairy Stories. By BRIDGET and JULIA KAVANAGH. 



With Thirty Illustrations by J. MOYR SMITH. 



" Genuine new fairy stories of the old type, some of them as delightful as the 

 best of Grimm's ' German Poprtlar Stories.' .... For the most part, the 

 stories are downright, thorough-going fairy stories of the most admirable kind. 

 . . . . Mr. Moyr Smith's illustrations, too, are admirable. Look at that 

 white rabbit. Anyone would see at the first glance that he is a rabbit with a 

 mind, and a very uncommon mind too that he is a fairy rabbit, and that he is 

 posing as chief adviser to some one without reading even a word of the story . 

 Again, notice the fairy-like effect of the little picture of the fairy -bird* Don t- 

 forget-me? flying away back into fairy-land. A more perfectly dream-like im- 

 pression of fairy-land has hardly been given in any illustration of fairy tales 

 within our knowledge" SPECT ATOR.
