rmore liable to be offended, and to have the current of their sympathies checked, by coming upon that which, however beautiful as poetry, out of higher respects they must reject and condemn_--_in which, too, they shall not fear that snares are being laid for them, to entangle them unawares in admiration for ought which is inconsistent with their faith and fealty to their own spiritual mother_."--_Preface_. Turner ------ SONNETS. By the Rev. _Charles Tennyson Turner_. Dedicated to his brother, the Poet Laureate. Fcap. 8vo. 4_s_. 6_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 movement, 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 quivers through the leaves, the ruralities, in short, of the land of imagination_"--_Atheneum_. SMALL TABLEAUX. Fcap. 8vo. 4_s. 6d_. "_These brief poems have not only a peculiar kind of interest for the student of English poetry, but are intrinsically delightful, and will reward a careful and frequent perusal. Full of naivete, piety, love, and knowledge of natural objects, and each expressing a single and generally a simple subject by means of minute and original pictorial touches, these sonnets have a place of their own_."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.

Crown 8vo. 9_s_. _The life of Vittoria Colonna, the celebrated Marchesa di Pescara, 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, occasionally with a real freshness and charm of style_"--_Pall Mall Gazette_. Webster ------- Works by AUGUSTA WEBSTER:-- DRAMATIC STUDIES. Extra fcap. 8vo. 5_s_. "_A volume as strongly marked by perfect taste as by poetic power_." _Nonconformist_.
