THE RECOLLECTIONS OF GEOFFRY HAMLYN. 

 By HENRY KINGSLEY, Esq. 



Second Edition. Crown Svo. cloth, 6*. 



Mr. Henry Kingsley has written a w^ork that keeps up its interest from the first 

 page to the last,-~it is full of vigorous stirring life, and though an eager 

 reader may be prompted to skip intervening digressions and details, hurrying 

 on to see what comes of it all, he will, nevertheless, be pretty sure to return 

 and read dutifully all the skipped passages after his main anxiety has been 

 allayed. The descriptions of Australian life in the early colonial days are 



marked by an unmistakeable touch of reality and personal experience 



Mr. Henry Kingsley has written a book which the public will be more inclined 

 to read than to criticise, and we commend them to each other." ATHEN^UM. 



THE ITALIAN WAR OF 1848-9, 

 And the Last Italian Poet. By the late HENRY 



LUSHINGTON, Chief Secretary to the Government of Malta. 

 With a Biographical Preface by G. STOVIN VENABLES. 



Crown Svo. cloth, 6s. 6d. 



v " As the writer warms with his subject, he reaches a very uncommon and charac- 

 teristic degree of excellence. The narrative becomes lively and graphic, and the 

 language is full of eloquence. Perhaps the most difficult of all literary tasks 

 the task of giving historical unity, dignity, and interest, to events so recent 

 as to be still encumbered with all the details with which newspapers invest 

 them has never been more successfully discharged. . . . Mr. Lushington, in a 

 very short compass, shows the true nature and sequence of the event, and gives 

 to the whole story of the struggle and defeat of Italy a degree of unity and 

 dramatic interest which not one newspaper reader in ten thousand ever supposed 

 it to possess" SATURDAY REVIEW.

* ' The execution is excellent. . . . Like Tom Brown's School Days, the White Horse

 excellent artist than Mr. Doyle to adorn his book" SATURDAY REVIEW.
