Mr. Booth's reappearance in London has been driven late in the season. It is doubtful accordingly whether his Richelieu will take the hold upon the public to which its merits entitle it. A picturesque, intelligent, and effective performance it is. If the character seems less grimly cynical than in previous representations, the reading is warranted by the text, and deserves the applause with which it is greeted. Among those by whom Mr. Booth is supported are Mr. Brooke, Mr. Pateman, Miss Pateman, and Mr. W. Younge.

By the late FRANK BUCKLAND.

"A chatty and entertaining series of articles, bristling with information, concerning places far off and near at home as well. The volume is certain to prove a favourite in the hands of young and old alike." Observer.

In taking up Mr. Buckland's volume one is sure to light upon something of interest, narrated or described in a style which is lively rather than refined or careful, but which is an exception to the rule that easy writing makes hard reading."-Saturday Review.

"A book brimful of anecdote and animal adventures, delightful reading for all times and places."-Guardian.

**Cannot fail to amuse as well as instruct."-Daily Telegraph. "These papers cannot fail to delight any one blessed with a taste for the curious and less obvious sides of natural history.... The whole book is a good example of a difficult yet fascinating kind of writing."-Academy. "The four hundred pages of which the book consists are crammed full of interesting notes of all kinds, some of them accompanied by illustrations.... The entire contents of the book, from the first page to the last, including a well-illustrated chapter on the Great Sea Serpent, will be equally interesting and valuable." Journal of Forestry.

Contains several illustrations, not the least attractive being the photograph of the lamented author himself as he appeared in his sanctum in Albany-street, with a gigantic salmon as one of his supporters. This admirable and characteristic likeness will add to the value of the book, which will make an admirable gift-book, whether for young or old readers who have a taste for natural history." -John Bull.

THE

IMPERIAL DICTIONARY

OF THE

ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

A COMPLETE ENCYCLOPÆDIC LEXICON, LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC, AND TECHNOLOGICAL.

By JOHN OGILVIE, LL.D.

New Edition, carefully Revised and greatly Augmented.

EDITED BY

CHARLES ANNANDALE, M.A.

Illustrated by above 3,000 Engravings, printed in the Text.

From the TIMES.

"For our own part, so far as vocabulary and treatment are concerned, we should not wish for anything better than the new 'Imperial.' Few, except specialists, are likely to come across any technical terms not to be found here; and the definitions are accurate and intelligible, developing into detailed explanations where necessary. The etymology is clear and concise, and the illustrations are copious, appropriate, and well executed."

From the PALL MALL GAZETTE.

"The etymologies have been rewritten in the light of the most recent researches, and may be accepted as, on the whole, accurate throughout; they are, as a rule, clear and laudably concise. The definitions are specially full, and serve all the purposes of a condensed cyclopædia. The terms introduced by recent science, and which are so fre

so far as we have tested, and their definitions are admirably clear and accurate...... The illustrations, carefully and accurately executed, are a most important help to the understanding of the definitions and descriptions."

From the ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE.

"It would be difficult to praise this admirable dictionary too highly, and more than unjust not to give special praise to the editor, Mr. Charles Annandale. This dictionary has been in use for more than a quarter of a century; but he has so augmented the vocabulary, and has made such large and important changes in his revision, that in its present form it may justly claim to be considered a new work. It does not directly challenge comparison with any other dictionary in the language; for it attempts to combine, what none of the others do, a literary dictionary with an encyclopædic the articles, and they are of uniform excellence."

authority in etymology."

From the SATURDAY REVIEW.

"The dictionary aims at being, within its limits, an encyclopædia; not only is every word set down, derived, and explained, but an account is appended supplying information upon subjects which a bare definition would not make clear. The encyclopædic character of 'The Imperial Dictionary, indeed, constitutes its principal and its distinctive value. For ordinary purposes it will be found to give information on almost every point, which seems to us, so far as it has been possible to examine the work, trustworthy."

From the BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

"This new edition is abreast of the most advanced science of the day, and incorporates its latest discoveries, while English literature has been laid under the most laborious and extensive contribution for varied uses of words. It should be for some years to come an authority of the first class."

EDITOR'S HISTORICAL RECORD.

EDITOR'S DRAWER.

*** The Publishers beg to mention that the considerable time required for the preparation of Illustrations and the printing of the large edition of HARPER'S has made it impossible in Glimpses of Great Britons' to take note of recent changes in Parliament (as the retirement of Mr. Forster from the Ministry). In the Paper 'Lying in State in Cairo,' read XXI. for XXVI. Dynasty, in foot-note, p. 194.
