Howell’s The Conflicts of Capital and Labour,
Historically and Economically considered. Being a History and Review of the Trade Unions of Great Britain, showing their Origin, Progress, Constitution, and Objects, in their Political, Social, Economical, and Industrial Aspects. By George Howell.
“A complete account of trades unions, involving the most candid statement of their objects and aspirations, their virtues and faults, is of great value; and such Mr. Howell’s book will be found by those who consult it.... Far from being the impassioned utterance of an advocate, it is, on the contrary, a calm authoritative statement of facts, and the expression of the views of the workmen and their leaders.... The book is a storehouse of facts, some of them extremely well arranged.... His book is of profound interest. We have no hesitation in giving it our hearty praise.”—Echo.
“This book is an attempt, and on the whole a successful attempt, to place the work of trade unions in the past, and their objects in the future, fairly before the public from the working man’s point of view.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

The Italian Masters:
Autotype Facsimiles of Original Drawings in the British Museum. With Critical and Descriptive Notes, Biographical and Artistic, by J. Comyns Carr.
“This splendid volume ... Mr. Carr’s choice of examples has been dictated by wide knowledge and fine tact.... The majority have been reproduced with remarkable accuracy. Of the criticism which accompanies the drawings we have not hitherto spoken, but it is this which gives the book its special value.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
