ENGLISH MEN OF LETTERS.
Edited by JOHN MORLEY.
JOHNSON. BY LESLIE STEPHEN.
"The new series opens well with Mr. Leslie Stephen's sketch of Dr. Johnson. It could hardly have been done better, and it will convey to the readers for whom it is intended a juster estimate of Johnson than either of the two essays of Lord Macaulay."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
SCOTT. By R. H. HUTTON.
"We could not wish for a more suggestive introduction to Scott and his poems and novels."--_Examiner._
GIBBON. By J. C. MORISON.
"As a clear, thoughtful, and attractive record of the life and works of the greatest among the world's historians, it deserves the highest praise."--_Examiner._
Sh.e.l.lEY. By J. A. SYMONDS.
"The lovers of this great poet are to be congratulated at having at their command so fresh, clear, and intelligent a presentment of the subject, written by a man of adequate and wide culture."--_Athenaeum_.'
HUME. By Professor HUXLEY, F.R.S.
"It may fairly be said that no one now living could have expounded Hume with more sympathy or with equal perspicuity."--_Athenaeum_.
GOLDSMITH. By WILLIAM BLACK.
"Mr. Black brings a fine sympathy and taste to bear in his criticism of Goldsmith's writings, as well as his sketch of the incidents of his life,"--_Athenaeum_.
DEFOE. By W. MINTO. Crown 8vo.
"Mr. Minto's book is careful and accurate in all that is stated, and faithful in all that it suggests. It will repay reading more than once."--_Athenaeum_.
BURNS. By Princ.i.p.al SHAIRP.
"It is impossible to desire fairer criticism than Princ.i.p.al Shairp's on Burns's poetry.... None of the series has given a truer estimate either of character or of genius than this volume."--_Spectator_.
SPENSER. By the Very Rev. the DEAN OF ST. PAUL'S.
"Dr. Church is master of his subject, and writes always with good taste."--_Academy_.
THACKERAY. By ANTHONY TROLLOPE.
"Mr. Trollope's sketch is excellently adapted to fulfil the purpose of the series in which it appears."--_Athenaeum_.
