SCOTT-ROKEBY. By the same.

3s.; sewed, 2s. 6d.

The Guardian-"The introduction is excellent, and the notes show much care and research."

SHAKESPEARE—THE TEMPEST. By K. DEIGHTON, late Principal of Agra College. 1s. 9d.; sewed, 1s. 6d.

The Guardian-" Speaking generally of Macmillan's Series we may say that they approach more nearly than any other edition we know to the ideal school Shakespeare. The introductory remarks are not too much burdened with controversial matter; the notes are abundant and to the point, scarcely any difficulty being passed over without some explanation, either by a paraphrase or by etymological and grammatical notes.'

The School Guardian-"A handy edition of The Tempest, suitable for the use of colleges and schools generally. Mr. Deighton has prefixed to the volume an introduction on the date, origin, construction, and characters of the play, and has added a pretty full collection of notes, with an index of reference to the passages of the text in question. The 'get up' of this series is a model of what such books should be.

-MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. By the same. 2s.; sewed, ls. 9d. The Schoolmaster-" The notes on words and phrases are full and clear." The Glasgow Herald-"The notes occupy a larger space than the text of the play, and are supplemented by a valuable index to the notes, so that if one remembers any notable word he can find at once a reference that leads to the proper explanatory note."

-A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. By the same, 1s. 9d.; sewed, 1s. 6d.

-THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. By the same. 1s. 9d.; sewed, 1s. 6d. The Practical Teacher-"The introduction is a good summary of the play, and the notes are precise, clear, and, we need hardly add, full. A student who has mastered the contents of this volume will have a thorough acquaintance with the play, and be prepared for any test of his knowledge of it to which he may have to be subjected."

-AS YOU LIKE IT. By the same. 1s. 9d. sewed, 1s. 6d.
-TWELFTH NIGHT. By the same. 1s. 9d.; sewed, 1s. 6d.

1s. 9d.; sewed, 1s. 6d. 1s. 9d.; sewed, 1s. 6d.

The Scotsman-"The text is excellent, the introduction is sufficiently learned, and elucidates not this play alone, but the dramatic scope of the Lancastrian tetralogy, and the notes are very full, very explanatory, and not often superfluous.'

The Educational Times-"We have examined the notes with considerable care, and we have found, in almost every case, that a full and clear explanation is given of each difficulty. . . The notes are clear and comprehensive.'

-RICHARD III.

...

By C. H. TAWNEY, M.A., Principal and Professor of English Literature, Presidency College, Calcutta. 2s. 6d.; sewed, 2s.

-CORIOLANUS. By K. DEIGHTON. 2s. 6d.; sewed, 2s.
-MACBETH. By the same. 1s. 9d.; sewed, 1s. 6d.

beth and Lady Macbeth are excellent."

SHAKESPEARE-JULIUS CAESAR.

sewed, ls. 6d.

By K. DEIGHTON.

ls. 9d.; The Guardian-"Of Julius Caesar and the Merchant of Venice, edited by Mr. K. Deighton, we can speak in terms of almost unqualified praise. The notes are admirably suited to the use of middle forms, being brief, numerous, and accurate. Besides affording evidence of scholarly attainments on the part of the annotator, they show a perfect knowledge of the limits of a schoolboy's capacity, and a rare ability to explain away his difficulties in a simple and interesting manner."

2s. 6d.; sewed, 2s.

—HAMLET. By the same.
-KING LEAR. By the same.

By MICHAEL MACMILLAN, B.A.

The Literary World "This is included in 'Macmillan's English Classics' series. The book well deserved such a place. It is too late in the day in such a notice as this to write one word in praise of Southey's clear and beautiful English. Mr. Michael Macmillan furnishes an introduction and notes. The former is a model in its way-explanatory, critical, informing; the latter are a marvel of fulness and carefulness, and withal nearly as interesting to read as the book itself. What with these notes and the capital index, a student ought to be able to 'know the book' from beginning to end." SPENSER-THE FAIRY QUEEN. Book I. By H. M. PERCIVAL, M. A. [In the press. TENNYSON-SELECTIONS. By F. J. RowE, M.A., and W. T. WEBB, M.A. New Edition. Enlarged. 3s. 6d. The poems contained in the volume are:-"Recollections of the Arabian Nights," "The Lady of Shalott,' Oenone,' The Lotos Eaters, "A Dream of Fair Women,' "Morte d'Arthur,' "Dora," " Ulysses,"" 'Tithonus,' ""Sir Galahad," "The Lord

of Burleigh," "Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington,' "The Revenge," "The Palace of Art," "The Brook,' The Voyage," and "Demeter and Persephone."

The Scotsman-"The choice of pieces is well made, and the notes are admirable."

.

The Journal of Education-"It should find a wide circulation in English schools. The notes give just the requisite amount of help for understanding Tennyson, explanations of the allusions with which his poems teem, and illustrations by means of parallel passages. A short critical introduction gives the salient features of his style with apt examples."

The Literary World-" The book is very complete, and will be a good introduction to the study of Tennyson's works generally."
