e can honestly commend Professor Pouchet's book, which _is_
admirably, as it is copiously illustrated."--_The Times._

"This book is as interesting as the most exciting romance, and a
great deal more likely to be remembered to good
purpose."--_Standard._

"Scarcely any book in French or in English is so likely to
stimulate in the young an interest in the physical
phenomena."--_Fortnightly Review._

BY GEORGE MAC DONALD.

=At the Back of the North Wind.= By George Mac Donald, LL.D.
With 75 Illustrations by Arthur Hughes. Crown 8vo, cloth
elegant, olivine edges, _5s._

"In _At the Back of the North Wind_ we stand with one foot in
fairyland and one on common earth. The story is thoroughly
original, full of fancy and pathos, and underlaid with earnest but
not too obtrusive teaching."--_The Times._

=Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood.= By George Mac Donald, LL.D. With
36 Illustrations by Arthur Hughes. New Edition. Crown 8vo,
cloth elegant, olivine edges, _5s._

"The sympathy with boy-nature in _Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood_ is
perfect. It is a beautiful picture of childhood, teaching by its
impressions and suggestions all noble things."--_British Quarterly
Review._

=The Princess and the Goblin.= By George Mac Donald, LL.D. With
30 Illustrations by Arthur Hughes, and 2 full-page Pictures by
H. Petherick. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, _3s. 6d._

"Little of what is written for children has the lightness of touch
and play of fancy which are characteristic of George Mac Donald's
fairy tales. Mr. Arthur Hughes's illustrations are all that
illustrations should be."--_Manchester Guardian._

"A model of what a child's book ought to be--interesting,
instructive, and poetical. We cordially recommend it as one of the
very best gift-books we have yet come across."--_Elgin Courant._

=The Princess and Curdie.= By George Mac Donald, LL.D. With 8
full-page Illustrations by James Allen. Crown 8vo, cloth extra,

"There is the finest and rarest genius in this brilliant story.
Upgrown people would do wisely occasionally to lay aside their
newspapers and magazines to spend an hour with Curdie and the
Princess."--_Sheffield Independent._
