anchester Guardian_. 'This new edition of a great classic might make an honourable appearance in any library in the world. Printed by Constable on laid paper, bound in most artistic and restful-looking fig-green buckram, with a frontispiece portrait and an introduction by Mr. Charles Whibley, the book might well be issued at three times its present price.'--_Irish Independent._ 'Cheap and comely; a very agreeable edition.'--_Saturday Review._ 'A real acquisition to the library.'--_Birmingham Post._ THE COMEDIES OF WILLIAM CONGREVE. With an Introduction by G.S. STREET, and a Portrait. _2 vols. 7s._ 25 copies on Japanese paper. _42s. net._ 'The comedies are reprinted in a good text and on a page delightful to look upon. The pieces are rich reading.'--_Scotsman._ 'So long as literature thrives, Congreve must be read with growing zest, in virtue of qualities which were always rare, and which were never rarer than at this moment. All that is best and most representative of Congreve's genius is included in this latest edition, wherein for the first time the chaotic punctuation of its forerunners is reduced to order--a necessary, thankless task on which Mr. Street has manifestly spent much pains. Of his introduction it remains to say that it is an excellent appreciation, notable for catholicity, discretion, and finesse: an admirable piece of work.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._ 'Two volumes of marvellous cheapness.'--_Dublin Herald._ THE ADVENTURES OF HAJJI BABA OF ISPAHAN. By JAMES MORIER. With an Introduction by E.G. BROWNE, M.A. and a Portrait. _2 vols. 7s._ 25 copies on Japanese paper. _21s. net._ HISTORY FLINDERS PETRIE. A HISTORY OF EGYPT, FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE HYKSOS. By W.M. FLINDERS PETRIE, D.C.L., Professor of Egyptology at University College. _Fully Illustrated. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._ 'An important contribution to scientific study.'--_Scotsman._ 'A history written in the spirit of scientific precision so worthily represented by Dr. Petrie and his school cannot but promote sound and accurate study, and supply a vacant place in the English literature of Egyptology.'--_Times._ FLINDERS PETRIE. EGYPTIAN TALES. Edited by W.M. FLINDERS PETRIE. Illustrated by TRISTRAM ELLIS. _Crown 8vo._ In two volumes. _3s. 6d. each._ 'A valuable addition to the literature of comparative folk-lore. The drawings are really illustrations in the literal sense of the word.'--_Globe._
