ATHENS AND THE PELOPONNESE, with SKETCHES OF NORTHERN GREECE. By Hermann Hettner.
"Hettner is a scholar, an historian, an archaeologist, and an artist, and in a series of letters, or pages from a Diary, written in 1852, he tells us a sad story, in flowing and elegant language, and with an enthusiasm which proves his relish for the work."—Globe.

TALES OF FLEMISH LIFE. By Hendrik Conscience.
"We shall look with a new curiosity at those fine old Flemish towns when next we visit them, and perhaps rest there for a day or two, inspired by the memories of the delightful book before us—a book which is to be enjoyed most by the Christmas fire, and which should be read aloud to the family circle, whom it will entrance while it is heard and improve when it is remembered."—Critic.
