By SAMUEL LAING, Esq. Second Edition, Revised, with Notes by RASMUS B. ANDERSON, LL.D., United States Minister to Denmark; Author of 'Norse Philology,' 'Viking Tales of the North, and other Works. NOT-In his interesting little book, 'The Early Kings of Norway, the distinguished writer, Thomas Carlyle, says that Snorre Sturlason's HEIMSKRINGLA "eserves, were it once well edited, furnished with accurate maps, chronological summaries, &c., to be reckoned among the great history-books of the world." The present editor and reviser of Samuel Laing's translation does not hesitate to confess that he came to Copenhagen, not to teach others, but to learn himself; he came to the Athens of the North, not as a master, but as a disciple, eager to sit at the feet of the great scholars of Scandinavia, in order that he might return to his native country with more knowledge of that weird North, from whose frozen rivers poured the vikings of the Middle Ages with more knowledge of that grand old Scandinavia, which was destined to become the mother of England and the grandmother of America. How eminently fitting that the child and the grandchild should listen to the words of wisdom that in times past have fallen from the lips of their mother and grandmother! An acquaintance with the ancient runes, with the Eddas, with the Heimskringla, and with all the old saga-lore, should be the pride of every Englishman and American.

In small 4to. hand-made paper, 200 pp. with Portrait of the Author, bound in half-german calf, parchment sides, 12s. 6d. net, POEMS and TRANSLATIONS. By W. J. LINTON. PUBLISHER'S NOTE. -Mr. W. J. Linton's fame as a wood-engraver has somewhat obscured the merits of his poetry. His 'Claribel and other Poems,' published in 1865, is now a scarce book; but far more scarce is the collection of lyrics privately printed by the author in 1887, under the title of 'Love-Lore,' at his private printing-press in America-the "Appledore Press." The impression of 'Love-Lore,' which contains Mr. Linton's choicest lyrical poems, was limited to fifty copies. In the present volume nearly all these later poems, with a large selection from 'Claribel,' will be included. The collection will also contain many renderings, in the original metres, of French poems ranging from the thirteenth century to our own day. These translations, with few exceptions, are published for the first time. A portrait of Mr. Linton is prefixed, and the book is dedicated "To William Bell Scott, my friend for nearly fifty years." 780 copies have been printed for England and America combined. Each numbered as issued. Type distributed. THIRD and CHEAPER EDITION, in 1 vol. demy 8vo. with a newly engraved Mezzotint Portrait, cloth, uncut edges, 9s. net, The LIFE of BENVENUTO CELLINI. Newly Translated into English. By JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS. PUBLISHER'S NOTE. -The high appreciation which Mr. Symonds's new and scholarly translation of the Life of Benvenuto Cellini met with, both from critics and the general public, induced the Publisher to issue a Second Edition in 2 vols. crown 8vo., but without the etchings and embellishments contained in the first, more expensive, and limited, edition. This Second Edition having been rapidly absorbed, a Third Edition, in One Volume, is now offered to the public, to which is added a newly engraved mezzotint portrait by R. B. Parkes, as well as a comprehensive Index. In post 8vo. printed on hand-made paper, 430 pp. paper boards, 400 numbered copies, 21s. net; also 120 numbered copies Large Paper. The type distributed, and no more copies will be printed. The WORKS of DR. THOMAS CAMPION. Now first Collected, with an Introduction and Notes, by A. H. BULLEN. NOTE. Mr. Thomas Campion was one of the most distinguished poets of the Elizabethan age, and his best songs are of a'most unequalled excellence. The present editor, in the preface to his collections of 'Lyrics from Elizabethan Song-Books' and of 'More Lyrics,' was the first (of the moderns) to insist on Campion's merits, which are now recognized by all competent critics. This edition of Campion's works inc'ude all his songs, his delightful masques, and his interesting 'Observations in the Art of English Poesie.' His Latin epigrams are also given in full; but I have not thought it necessary to reprint the treatise, 'A New Way of Making Fower Parts in Counterpoint,' &c., which appeals merely to students of musical antiquities.

This, one of the best of Mr. Surtees's works, was originally commenced in the New Sporting Magazine, and illustrated by the inimitable artists Wildrake and Heath, but was not completed in that Magazine. It was afterwards published complete in a Three-Volume edition. The Five Illustrations now added are by John Jellicoe, and illustrate the latter portion of the work not done by Wildrake or Heath. All are coloured by hand. London: JOHN C. NIMMO, 14, King William-street, Strand, W.C. HENRY SOTHERAN & CO.'S NATURAL HISTORY PUBLICATIONS AND REMAINDERS. Offered at Greatly Reduced Prices.

The DAILY NEWS says in the course of a long Article: "The issue by Messrs. Henry Sotheran & Co. of the twenty-fifth part of 'The Birds of New Guinea and the adjoining BEAUTIFUL-LEAVED PLANTS, Papuan Islands, brings at last to a close the magnificent series of ornithological works to which the late Mr. John Gould devoted his long and laborious life. They are comprised in forty-three volumes, uniformly printed in the large size technically known as 'imperial folio,' and are illustrated with considerably more than three thousand full-page drawings, every one of which has been coloured by hand. Such expensive publications can of course be but little known to the general public. The fact that a set, handsomely bound in morocco, enclosed in two carved cabinets, and including one or two now out of print, is offered [by the advertisers) at the price of one thousand pounds sufficiently indicates that the works of Mr. Gould are only for the wealthiest or for those students of natural history who are fortunate enough to have leisure to do battle with the huge tomes in our great public libraries. It is just eight years ago since the busy brain and hand that produced this wonderful evidence of what may be achieved by one individual in the way of promoting the study of nature were stopped for ever. Mr. Gould was then engaged upon 'The Birds of New Guinea' and his supplement to the Monograph on the Humming Birds'; but since then all his manuscripts, drawings, and copyrights have become the property of Messrs Sotheran, who, with the assistance of Mr. Bowdler Sharpe, of the British Museum, and Mr. Osbert Salvin, have availed themselves of the materials at their disposal for the completion of the several unfinished publications on the lines laid down by their author. For this service the learned who are interested in these studies will not fail to feel grateful." ONLY A FEW COPIES LEFT UNSUBSCRIBED FOR.
