 the Fleet, and Rear-Admiral Charles Austen. By J. H. and E. C. 

 Hubback. With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 1 is. bd. net. 



Morning- Post. — ". . . May be welcomed as an important addition to Austeniana . . .; 

 it is besides valuable for its glimpses of life in the Navy, its illustrations of the feelings 

 and sentiments of naval officers during the period that preceded and that which 

 followed the great battle of just one century ago, the battle which won so much but 

 which cost us — Nelson." 



Globe.— "The. book is doubly fortunate in its appearance, for it appeals not only to the 

 lovers of Jane Austen's novels, but also to those who value sidelights on the most 

 stirring times of the Navy." 



POETRY AND PROGRESS IN RUSSIA. By 



Rosa Newmarch. With 6 full-page Portraits. Demy Svo 

 (9x5! inches), ys. 6d. net. 



*** This book deals with an aspect of Russian literature hitherto unjustly neglected in 

 favour of the school of realistic fiction. Nevertheless, the poets of the earlier half of the 

 iqth century were the pioneers of the intellectual progress which culminated in the work 

 of that Pleiad of novelists : Gogol, Tourgeniev, Dostoievsky, and Tolstoi. The spirit^ of 

 Russia can never be more than imperfectly understood by those who, without preparation, 

 plunge straightway into this tide of realism which marks only the second stage in the 

 evolution of the national genius. Mrs. Newmarch' s volume covers a period extending 

 from the first publications of Poushkin, in 1814, to the death of Nadson, in i836, and 

 consists of an Introduction and six studies, as follows : Poushkin, the frst and greatest 

 of the Russian national poets ; Lcrmontov, the meteoric poet of the Romantic School; 

 Koltsov, the Russian Burns; Nikitin, the singer of Russian rural life ; Nekrassov, the 

 poet of revolution ; and Nadson, whose work is characteristic of the decadence of Russian 

 poetry. 



THE LIFE OF PETER ILICH TCHAIKOVSKY 



( 1 840-1 893). By his Brother, Modeste Tchaikovsky. Edited 

 and abridged from the Russian and German Editions by Rosa 

 Newmarch. With Numerous Illustrations and Facsimiles and an 

 Introduction by the Editor. Demy Svo. 21s. net. Second edition. 



The Times. — "A most illuminating commentary on Tchaikovsky's music." 



World. — "One of the most fascinating self-revelations by an artist which has been given to 



the world. The translation is excellent, and worth reading for its own sake." 

 Contemporary Review. — " The book's appeal is, of course, primarily to the music-lover ; but 

 there is so much of human and literary interest in it, such intimate revelation of a 

 singularly interesting personality, that many who have never come under the spell of 

 the Pathetic Symphony will be strongly attracted by what is virtually the spiritual 

 autobiography of its composer. High praise is due to the translator and editor for the 

 literary skill with which she has prepared the English version of this fascinating work . . . 

 There have been few collections of letters published within recent^ years that give so 

 vivid a portrait of the writer as that presented to us in these pages."
