THE ROMANCE OF NATURAL 

 HISTORY. 



By P. H. Gosse. With frontispiece. I vol. 



There is no '« dry-as-dust " writing in this re- 

 markable work. It is the true naturalist's contem- 

 plation of the life histories of the creatures around 

 him, written with sympathy and accurate knowl- 

 edge. Mr. Thompson-Seton never accomplished 

 better work in this field. 



THE ESSAYS OF MONTAIGNE. 



Revised and Edited by J. Hain Friswell. 



With portrait. I vol. 



No one needs to be told that the Essays of 

 Montaigne are the most interesting and remarkable 

 in the world. The trouble with them, however, 

 for the ordinary reader, is their verbosity. In this 

 edition the editor has retained everything of interest. 



THE WILD NORTHLAND 



Being the Story of a Winter Journey, with Dog, 

 across Northern North America. By Gen. Sir 

 Wm. Francis Butler, K.C.B. With portrait and 

 a route map. I vol. 



By common accord, Gen. Butler's account of his 

 lonely ride and tramp through the ice-bound regions 

 of the North has been placed high among the many 

 masterly books of travel. The reader follows 

 Butler and his dog, Cerf-Vola, with sympathetic 

 interest from first to last. The vivid descriptions 

 of the strange, unknown country on the border of 

 the " Barren Lands" are unsurpassed, if not unsur- 

 passable. 



Sold either in sets or singly.
