_THE TRUE LIFE OF CAPTAIN SIR RICHARD F. BURTON._ Written by his niece,
GEORGIANA M. STISTED, with the authority and approval of the Burton
family. 12mo. Cloth, with Portrait, $2.00.
"Miss Stisted has given us a thoroughly good biography. Though a
great admirer of her uncle, she does not conceal his weaknesses,
but writes, in the main, soberly and impartially with excellent
judgment. She has compressed a great deal into a small volume,
not confusing us with too much detail, and yet describing many

"The book has not a dull line in it. Detail, anecdote, comment,

"A very interesting biography of a very remarkable man."--_New
York Mail and Express._

von Buelow, as mirrored forth in these letters, is of no small
import."--_New York Mail and Express._

exhibiting the musician struggling to make what he knew to be in
him recognized by the public."--_London Daily Chronicle._
_GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, as seen in his Works and Correspondence._ By JOHN
CHARLES TARVER. With Portrait. 8vo. Buckram, $4.00.
"It is surprising that this extremely interesting correspondence
has not been Englished before."--_London Athenaeum._
"This handsome volume is welcome.... It merits a cordial
reception if for no other reason than to make a larg
