 important branches of the national industry." — Daily News.

Popular Genealogists ; 



Or, The Art of Pedigree-making. Crown Svo, 4s. 



"We have here an agreeable little treatise of a hundred pages, from an anony- 

 mous but evidently competent haud, on the ludicrous and fraudulent sides of 

 genealogy. The subject has a serious and important historical character, when 

 regarded from the point of view of the authors of The Governing Families of 

 England. But it is rich in the materials of comedy also. 



"The first case selected by the writer before us is one which has often excited 

 our mirth by the very completeness of its unrivalled absurdity. Nobody can turn 

 over the popular genealogical books of our day without dropping on a family 

 called Coulthart of Coulthart, Collyn, and Ashton-under-Lyne. The pedigree given 

 makes the house beyond all question the oldest in Europe. Neither the Bourbons 

 nor Her Majesty's family can be satisfactorily earned beyond the ninth century, 

 whereas the Coultharts were by that time an old and distinguished house. 



"We are glad to see such a step taken in the good work as the publication of the 

 essay which has suggested this article, and which we commend to those who want 

 a bit of instructive and amusing reading." — Pall Mall Gazette.

RENT ON— Oils and Water Colours. 

 By William Renton. 1 vol. fcap., os. 



" The book is obviously for the Artist and the Poet, and for every one who shares 

 with them a true love and zeal for nature's beauties."— Scotsman. 



" To have observed such a delicate bit of colouring as this, and to have written 

 so good a sonnet in the ' strict style,' as that we have quoted, shows that our 

 author has no common powers either as an observer or a writer." — Liverpool Albion. 



" To those minds that really hold this joy in beauty, Mr. Rentou's book will 

 undoubtedly give delight." — Northern Ensign.,
