LIFE OF JANE AUSTEN. By GOLDWIN SMITH.
"Mr. Goldwin Smith has added another to the not inconsiderable roll of eminent men who have found their delight in Miss Austen.... His little book upon her, just published by Walter Scott, is certainly a fascinating book to those who already know her and love her well; and we have little doubt that it will prove also a fascinating book to those who have still to make her acquaintance."—Spectator.
LIFE OF BROWNING. By WILLIAM SHARP.
"This little volume is a model of excellent English, and in every respect it seems to us what a biography should be."—Public Opinion.
LIFE OF BYRON By HON. RODEN NOEL.
"The Hon. Roden Noel's volume on Byron is decidedly one of the most readable in the excellent 'Great Writers' series."—Scottish Leader.
LIFE OF HAWTHORNE. By MONCURE CONWAY.
"It is a delightful causerie—pleasant, genial talk about a most interesting man. Easy and conversational as the tone is throughout, no important fact is omitted, no valueless fact is recalled; and it is entirely exempt from platitude and conventionality."—The Speaker.
LIFE OF SCHOPENHAUER. By PROFESSOR WALLACE.
"We can speak very highly of this little book of Mr. Wallace's. It is, perhaps, excessively lenient in dealing with the man, and it cannot be said to be at all ferociously critical in dealing with the philosophy."—Saturday Review.
