LIFE OF JANE AUSTEN. By GOLDWIN SMITH.

"Mr. Goldwin Smith has added another to the not inconsiderable
roll of eminent men who have found their delight in Miss
Austen.... His little book upon her, just published by Walter
Scott, is certainly a fascinating book to those who already
know her and love her well; and we have little doubt that it
will prove also a fascinating book to those who have still to
make her acquaintance."--_Spectator_.

LIFE OF THACKERAY. By HERMAN MERIVALE and P. T. MARZIALS.

neither the student nor the general reader can well afford to
miss."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.

LIFE OF CERVANTES. By H. E. WATTS.

"We can commend this book as a worthy addition to the useful
series to which it belongs."--_London Daily Chronicle_.

LIFE OF VOLTAIRE. By FRANCIS ESPINASSE.

George Saintsbury, in The _Illustrated London News_,
