Turner. — sonnets. Byi the Rev. Charles Tennyson 

 Turner. Dedicated to his brother, the Poet Laureate. Fcap. 

 8vo. 4r. i>d. 



" The Sonnets are dedicated to} Mr. Tennyson by his brother, and have, 

 independently of their merits, an interest of association. They both love to 

 ■write in simple expressive Saxon; both love to touch their imagery in 

 epithets rather than in formal similes ; both have a delicate perception 

 of rythmical m.ovement, and thus Mr. Turner has occasional lines which, 

 for phrase and music, might be ascribed to his brother. . . He knows the 

 haunts of the wild rose, the shady nooks where light qitivers through the 

 leaves, the ruralities, in short, of the land of imagination" — Athen/eum. 



SMALL TABLEAUX. Fcap. 8vo. 4J. (id. 



" These brief poems have not only a peculiar kind oj interest for the 

 student oJ English poetry, but are intrinsically delightful, and will reward 

 a careful and frequent perusal. Full of naivete, piety, lave, and knowledge 

 of natural objects, and each expressing a single and geiierally u, simple 

 subject by means of minute and original pictorial touches, these sonnets 

 have a place of their own." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



Vittoria Colonna. — LIFE AND poems. By Mrs. Henry 

 RoscoE. Crown 8vo. <js. 



The life of Vittoria Colonna, the celebrated Marchesa di Fescara, has 

 received but cursory notice from any English writer, though in every 

 history of Italy her name is mentioned with great honour among the poets 

 of the sixteenth century. "In three hundred and fifty years," says her 

 biographer Visconti, " there has been no other Italian lady who can be 

 compared to her." 



" It is written with good taste, with quick and intelligent sympathy, 

 occasionallv with a real freshness and charm of style." —Y KLA. Mall 

 Gazette.
