Interesting Books on London.

LONDON LETTERS, and Some Others. By George W. Smalley, London Correspondent of the New York Tribune. Two Volumes. 8vo, Cloth, Uncut Edges and Gilt Tops, $6 00.

Have an enduring value for the twofold reason that they discuss public men and events of so high an order of interest that they cannot soon fade from the public eye, and that the literary nature of them is strong and charming.—N. Y. Sun.

LITERARY LANDMARKS OF LONDON. By Laurence Hutton, Author of "Literary Landmarks of Edinburgh." (New Edition.) With over 70 Portraits. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75.

We say of this edition what we said of the first—that it is deliciously filled with delicious things.—Independent, N. Y.

Mr. Hutton's book is accepted as an authority by the best educated Londoners, and it should be in the hands of every American who goes for the first time to visit the city by the Thames.—Boston Beacon.

LONDON: a Pilgrimage. Illustrations by Gustave Doré. Letter-press by Blanchard Jerrold. Folio, Cloth, $5 00.

The highways and byways of London offered as appropriate a provocation for the exercise of Doré's weird and grotesque imagination as this powerful artist had already found in Dante's "Inferno," Rabelais, the "Legend of the Wandering Jew," and the other works familiar to the public in his illustrated editions.

FIFTY YEARS AGO. By Walter Besant. With a Portrait and Characteristic Illustrations by Cruikshank and others. 8vo, Cloth, $2 50.

The book is no mere ephemera which we examine casually and then forget; it presents to the eye and photographs upon the mind a distinct and vital picture of the social, political, religious, and literary world of half a century ago.—Critic, N. Y.

LONDON. By Walter Besant. Illustrated. Crown 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental. (Just Ready.)
