LONGFELLOW'S POETICAL WORKS. The most splendid Illustrated Edition ever published. On tinted paper. With Designs by John Gilbert, engraved by Messrs. Dalziel in the finest style of art.
The Portrait that enriches this edition is the only one the Poet has ever sat for, and Thirty-three Pieces are included in it that are not in any other Illustrated "Longfellow's Poems." Universally, it is now acknowledged to be the most exquisite Illustrated Book lately produced.
"Yet another edition of Longfellow. Mr. John Gilbert is the artist whose fancies have been employed on its pictorial adornments, and very fancifully has he achieved his task. Mr. Gilbert works in the true spirit of a poet. Mr. Longfellow ought to feel proud of this proof of his popularity in England."—Athenæum.
NEW WORK ON SOUTH AFRICAN FIELD SPORTS.
In 1 vol., price 10s. 6d., 8vo, cloth gilt,
SPORTING SCENES AMONG THE KAFFIRS OF SOUTH AFRICA. By Captain Drayson, R.A. With Eight Large Illustrations, printed in Colours, from Sketches by the Author.
This work is the result of the genuine experiences of a practical sportsman. It is especially valuable from the fact that Captain Drayson is skilled in the Kaffir language, and was therefore enabled to travel among the natives, and to communicate with them directly, without the encumbrance of an interpreter. In it will be found many interesting details of seeking, tracking, and slaying the various South African game; together with curious anecdotes illustrative of the native Kaffir character.

ROUTLEDGE'S SHAKSPEARE. Edited by Howard Staunton and Illustrated by John Gilbert.
"The first volume of this superbly illustrated edition is now ready. Some of the illustrations are perfect gems of modern art, and have been warmly and repeatedly eulogized by the leading organs of the public press; whilst the notes, emendations, and comments are just of the kind required by the general reader. It is, in all respects, a popular edition of the great national dramatist's works; and such a book, at the price that it is published, must make Shakspeare's writings as well known as his name."
