THIRD EDITION. 



RECOLLECTIONS OF AUBREY DE 



VERE. 



In one volume, demy 8vo., with Portrait, i6s. 



1 The most genial, charming, and amusing volume of reminiscences of the year. 1 Truth. 



' It presents the portrait of a noble figure, a man of letters in a sense peculiar to a day now dis- 

 appearing, a man of responsible leisure, of serious thought, of grave duties, of high mind.' 

 A thenaum. 



'The recollections are likely to be widely read, for they will interest our readers.' Spectator. 



' There are brisk studies of character, quaint old stories, bits of exquisite descriptions, excellent 

 jests, anecdotes of famous men.' Pall Mall Gazette. 



'These "Recollections" will appeal to many sympathies, personal, political, social, literary, and 

 religious. As a Catholic the author enjoyed the intimate friendship of Cardinal Newman and 

 Cardinal Manning, and these pages throw additional and interesting sidelights on the character and 

 genius of each of these distinguished men. Few " Recollections " of late years, if any, furnish more 

 pleasant reading than these.' Morning Post. 



1 A remarkable book, full of good humour and good sense, and one which no reader will wish to lay 

 down once he has taken it up. Mr. Aubrey de Vere has long had an " audience fit though few," and 

 the appearance of the present volume will be a point of interest both for those who knew and valued 

 his poems, and for those who knew him for an Irishman of the "ould stock," with many kindly remin- 

 iscences of his country through more than one generation.' St. James s Gazette. 



' They are the recollections of one whose mind has been concerned with great thoughts and subjects, 

 and whose way has lain with great men.' Freeman's Journal. 



THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND LETTERS 



OF THE 



RT. HON. JOHN ARTHUR ROEBUCK, 



Q.C., M.P. 



Edited by ROBERT EADON LEADER. 

 With two Portraits, demy 8vo., i6s. 



' The political struggles in which Roebuck took a prominent part have passed into history. . . . 

 Nevertheless, this book is welcome. It is a substantial and permanent contribution to the literature 

 of Parliamentary biography. Mr Leader has done his work well, and Roebuck the men as well as 

 Roebuck the Parliamentarian is made to stand clearly before the mind's eye." Globe. 



' Mr. Leader is to be congr tulated on the ability with which he has carried through what must have 

 been a most laborious task. He has given not only the record of a remarkable man, but a valuable 

 picture of the working of our Parliamentary system.' Morning Post. 



' Mr. Leader has done a good work ; he has produced for the public a lifelike portrait of a remark- 

 able pxiblic man.' Sheffield Telegraph.
