Author of *‘ Sappho,” ‘‘ The King’s Stratagem,”’ &c. 
This work originally appeared in America, and soon van through mine editions. The 
first English Edition was published in 1866, and has long been out of print. The readers 
of “Sappho,” the latest work of the same Authoress, have made so many and earnest 
enquiries after the ‘* Records of the Heart,” that ‘‘ Stella” has at length been induced to re- 
arrange the Poems, add some new ones, and re-issue the work. 
Sixth Edition, with a New Preface and Steel Engraving, crown 8vo, pp. xiv.—132, cloth, 2s. 6d.

unfrequently of Shakespeare himself.” —Ziverpool Mercury. 
“The tragedy of ‘Sappho’ has been translated into Greek by a native of Athens, and is to 
be played upon the Hellenic stage.” — The Atheneum. 
CAMBOUROGLO, the Greek poet, says (in his journal, H¢héméris) :—** Stella’s < Sappho’ is 
the incarnation of the Lesbian muse which I study in my dreams. With the aid of an English

discussing and admiring.”

THE BIGLOW PAPERS. 
By JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, 
American Ambassador at the Court of St. James’s, 
With a Preface by THomas HuGues, Q.C., Author of ‘Tom Brown’s Schooldays,” &c. 
“It cannot be disguised that in turning from Mr. Lowell’s serious work to the ‘ Biglow 
Papers, we become at once sensible of the difference between high aceomplishment and genius. 
In his meditative and sentimental poetry he resembles the student who has so far mastered a 
foreign language as to use it, on the whole, with correctness, though with some hesitancy and 
caution. In the ‘ Biglow Papers,’ so full of spontaneous humour, of apt and familiar illustra- 
tion, and of that high purpose which makes even the dissection of selfish foibles genial—in 
these he speaks his native tongue, displays all his resources of idiom and dialect, and utters no 
phrase which does not go home to the listener.” —Zhe Atheneum.
