UBLICATIONS. THE ROLL-CALL OF WESTMINSTER ABBEY. By Mrs. A. MURRAY SMITH (E.T. Bradley), Author of 'Annals of Westminster Abbey' &c. THIRD EDITION. With 25 Full-page Illustrations and 5 Plans. Large crown 8vo. 6_s._ _TIMES._--'It is impossible to read even the first chapter of this highly interesting volume without forthwith realising that we have here a work of a totally different order from the cheap book-making which year by year selects Westminster Abbey for its subject. Such a book as the "Roll-Call" could have been penned only by one who knows and loves every feature in that glorious old pile; who has wandered through its aisles every hour of the day and night; who has watched the wondrous effects produced by the subtlest changes of light and temperature: one, in short, who for upwards of twenty years has drunk deeply of the spirit which haunts Westminster Abbey from end to end. We must therefore offer a hearty welcome to this really excellent work, and we are convinced that the great mass of historical material which it contains will become more and more valuable as time goes on.' MATTHEW ARNOLD'S NOTE-BOOKS. By the Hon. Mrs. WODEHOUSE. SECOND IMPRESSION. Small crown 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._ _TIMES._--'No one who is interested in Matthew Arnold can afford to be without this book, which gives us the thoughts he chose as his own to live with, and reveals him intimately without violating a single secret.' THE NOISY YEARS. By Mrs. PERCY DEARMER, Author of 'Roundabout Rhymes' &c. With Illustrations by EVA ROOS. Crown 8vo. 6_s._ _PALL MALL GAZETTE._--'The "Noisy Years" is really delicious. Indeed, among the books about those small folk who have a "kingdom of their own," we cannot think of any other coming within reasonable distance of it for tenderness, grace, and charming humour.' THE ADVENTURES OF DOWNY V. GREEN, RHODES SCHOLAR AT OXFORD. By GEORGE CALDERON. FOURTH IMPRESSION. With 16 Illustrations by the Author. Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._ _MONTHLY REVIEW._--'Mr. George Calderon has joined in a conspiracy with the Kiplings, the Somervilles, and other persons of ambidextrous gifts to raise the standard of authorship to a height beyond the reach of ordinary genius.' THE STORY OF THE BOLD PECOPIN: a Legend of the Rhine. By VICTOR HUGO. Done into English by ELEANOR and AUGUSTINE BIRRELL. With 8 Illustrations by H.R. MILLAR. Fcp. 4to. 7_s._ 6_d._ _GENTLEWOMAN._--'Too high praise cannot be given to the
