Chatto & Windus's List of Books, July 1878
Part 3
“_This thoroughly congenial piece of work ... Mr. Leigh’s claim to praise is threefold: he has performed the duty of taster with care and judgment; he has restored many stolen or strayed bons-mots to their rightful owners; and he has exercised his editorial functions delicately and sparingly._”--DAILY TELEGRAPH.

_Kavanaghs’ Pearl Fountain_,
And other Fairy Stories. By BRIDGET and JULIA KAVANAGH. With Thirty Illustrations by J. MOYR SMITH.
“_Genuine new fairy stories of the old type, some of them as delightful as the best of Grimm’s ‘German Popular Stories.’... For the most part, the stories are downright, thorough-going fairy stories of the most admirable kind.... Mr. Moyr Smith’s illustrations, too, are admirable. Look at that white rabbit. Anyone would see at the first glance that he is a rabbit with a mind, and a very uncommon mind too--that he is a fairy rabbit, and that he is posing as chief adviser to some one--without reading even a word of the story. Again, notice the fairy-like effect of the little picture of the fairy-bird ‘Don’t-forget-me,’ flying away back into fairy-land. A more perfectly dream-like impression of fairy-land has hardly been given in any illustration of fairy tales within our knowledge._”--SPECTATOR.

“_After wading through numberless volumes of icy fiction, concocted narrative, and spurious biography of Arctic voyagers, it is pleasant to meet with a real and genuine volume.... He shows much tact in recounting his adventures, and they are so interspersed with anecdotes and information as to make them anything but wearisome.... The book, as a whole, is the most important addition made to our Arctic literature for a long time._”--ATHENÆUM.

“_Mr. Longfellow has for many years been the best known and the most read of American poets; and his popularity is of the right kind, and rightly and fairly won. He has not stooped to catch attention by artifice, nor striven to force it by violence. His works have faced the test of parody and burlesque (which in these days is almost the common lot of writings of any mark), and have come off unharmed._”--SATURDAY REVIEW.

_Marston’s (Dr. Westland) Dramatic and Poetical Works._
Collected Library Edition.
“_The ‘Patrician’s Daughter’ is an oasis in the desert of modern dramatic literature, a real emanation of mind. We do not recollect any modern work in which states of thought are so freely developed, except the ‘Torquato Tasso’ of Goethe. The play is a work of art in the same sense that a play of Sophocles is a work of art; it is one simple idea in a state of gradual development.... ‘The Favourite of Fortune’ is one of the most important additions to the stock of English prose comedy that has been made during the present century._”--TIMES.

_The New Republic_;
or, Culture, Faith, and Philosophy in an English Country House. By W. H. MALLOCK.
“_The great charm of the book lies in the clever and artistic way the dialogue is managed, and the diverse and various expedients by which, whilst the love of thought on every page is kept at a high pitch, it never loses its realistic aspect.... It is giving high praise to a work of this sort to say that it absolutely needs to be taken as a whole, and that disjointed extracts here and there would entirely fail to convey any idea of the artistic unity, the careful and conscientious sequence of what is evidently the brilliant outcome of much patient thought and study.... Enough has now been said to recommend these volumes to any reader who desires something above the usual novel, something which will open up lanes of thought in his own mind, and insensibly introduce a higher standard into his daily life.... Here is novelty indeed, as well as originality, and to anyone who can appreciate or understand ‘The New Republic’ it cannot fail to be a rare treat._”--OBSERVER.
* * * * *
Square 8vo, cloth extra, with numerous Illustrations, 9_s._
_North Italian Folk._
By Mrs. COMYNS CARR. With Illustrations by RANDOLPH CALDECOTT.
“_A delightful book, of a kind which is far too rare. If anyone wants to really know the North Italian folk, we can honestly advise him to omit the journey, and sit down to read Mrs. Carr’s pages instead.... Description with Mrs. Carr is a real gift.... It is rarely that a book is so happily illustrated._”--CONTEMPORARY REVIEW.

_MOORE’S HITHERTO UNCOLLECTED WRITINGS._
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, with Frontispiece, 9_s._
_Prose and Verse--Humorous, Satirical,
and Sentimental--by THOMAS MOORE._ Including Suppressed Passages from the Memoirs of Lord Byron. Chiefly from the Author’s MSS., and all hitherto Inedited and Uncollected. Edited, with Notes, by RICHARD HERNE SHEPHERD.
“_Hitherto Thomas Moore has been mostly regarded as one of the lighter writers merely--a sentimental poet_ par excellence, _in whom the ‘rapture of love and of wine’ determined him strictly to certain modes of sympathy and of utterance, and these to a large extent of a slightly artificial character. This volume will serve to show him in other, and certainly as attractive, aspects, while, at the same time, enabling us to a considerable extent to see how faithfully he developed himself on the poetical or fanciful side.... This is a book which claims, as it ought to obtain, various classes of readers, and we trust that the very mixed elements of interest in it may not conflict with its obtaining them. For the lightest reader there is much to enjoy; for the most thoughtful something to ponder over; and the thanks of both are due to editor and publisher alike_.”--NONCONFORMIST.

_Felicia._ By M. BETHAM-EDWARDS
With a Frontispiece by W. BOWLES.
“_A noble novel. Its teaching is elevated, its story is sympathetic, and the kind of feeling its perusal leaves behind is that more ordinarily derived from music or poetry than from prose fiction. Few works in modern fiction stand as high in our estimation as this._”--SUNDAY TIMES.

With a Frontispiece by HENRY WOODS.
“_In her narrowness and her depth, in her boundless loyalty, her self-forgetting Passion, that exclusiveness of love which is akin to cruelty, and the fierce humility which is vicarious pride, Leam Dundas is a striking figure. In one quality the authoress has in some measure surpassed herself._”--PALL MALL GAZ.

_The Way we Live Now._ By ANTHONY TROLLOPE.

_The American Senator._ By ANTHONY TROLLOPE.
“_Mr. Trollope has a true artist’s idea of tone, of colour, of harmony: his pictures are one, and seldom out of drawing; he never strains after effect, is fidelity itself in expressing English life, is never guilty of caricature._”--FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW.
_Diamond Cut Diamond._ By T. A. TROLLOPE.

“_A carefully written and beautiful story--a story of goodness and truth, which is yet as interesting as though it dealt with the opposite qualities.... The author of this really clever story has been at great pains to work out all its details with elaborate conscientiousness, and the result is a very vivid picture of the ways of life and habits of thought of a hundred and fifty years ago.... Certainly a very interesting book._”--TIMES.
