sense, has found a new and a successful illustrator in Mr. Charles E. Brock, who con-

Hood, witha preface by Canon Ainger, whose sketch of Hood’s life and writings is written
with excellent taste and discernment.”

OLD CHRISTMAS. From the Sketch-Book of WASHINGTON

Irvine. Illustrated by R. Catpecotrr. Third Edition. Crown 8vo,
gilt, or edges uncut. 6s.

ATHEN#UM.—“ The illustrations are ably and prettily drawn, full of spirit where
spirit is required. Graceful figures of ladies and girls abound, and there are many’ charm-
ing touches of gentle satire and pleasant humour. . . . The character sketches of single
figures are all first-rate.”

MORNING POST.—“ Messrs. Macmillan and Co. could not have prepared a more
suitable nor a more elegant Christmas offering. . . . The illustrations by R. Caldecott are
fully worthy of the matter.”

STANDARD.—‘ We have seldom seen a beok in which the illustrator is so entirely
en rapport with the author. If Mr. Irving had been alive, and could have guided a
limner’s hand to paint his people just as he conceived them, we could hardly have had
better likenesses.”

BRACEBRIDGE HALL. From the Sketch-Book of WASHINGTON
Irvine. Illustrated by R. CaLpecorr. Third Edition. Crown 8vo,
gilt, or edges uncut. 6s.

TIMES.—“ Avery admirable reproduction is Washington Irving’s Bracebridge Hall,
and this not only for the worth of what the writer has written, but for the very pretty and
perfect form in which it has been issued. ‘The illustrations are by Randolph Caldecott,
whose pencil has already done such good work with the same author’s O/d Christmas,
and very clever they are.”

ACADEMY.—« Mr. Caldecott’s illustrations to Bracebridge Hall are distinguished
by the same excellent qualities which justified the success of those which appeared last
year in Old Christmas. he same rare power of drawing movement, the same quick
sense of humour, with now and then a touch of tender grace. The same spirit and
swing which attracted and entertained the reader of O/d Christmas reappear in
Bracebridge Hall.”
