    Messrs. Methuen beg to announce that they are about to issue, in ten volumes 8vo, an authorised collection of Mr. Gladstone's Speeches, the work being undertaken with his sanction and under his superintendence. Notes and Introductions will be added.
    In view of the interest in the Home Rule Question, it is proposed to issue Vols. IX. and X., which will include the speeches of the last seven or eight years, immediately, and then to proceed with the earlier volumes. Volume X. is already published.

    This important work is written by Mr. Collingwood, who has been for some years Mr. Ruskin's private secretary, and who has had unique advantages in obtaining materials for this book from Mr. Ruskin himself and from his friends. It will contain a large amount of new matter, and of letters which have never been published, and will be, in fact, as near as is possible at present, a full and authoritative biography of Mr. Ruskin. The book will contain numerous portraits of Mr. Ruskin, including a coloured one from a water-colour portait by himself, and also 13 sketches, never before published, by Mr. Ruskin and Mr. Arthur Severn. A bibliography will be added.

Poetry
Rudyard Kipling. BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS; And Other Verses. By Rudyard Kipling. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
    Mr. Kipling's verse is strong, vivid, full of character. . . . Unmistakable genius rings in every line.'—Times.
    'The disreputable lingo of Cockayne is henceforth justified before the world; for a man of genius has taken it in hand, and has shown, beyond all cavilling, that in its way it also is a medium for literature. You are grateful, and you say to yourself, half in envy and half in admiration: 'Here is a took; here, or one is a Dutchman, is one of the books of the year.'—National Observer.
    '"Barrack-Room Ballads" contains some of the best work that Mr. Kipling has ever done, which is saying a good deal. 'Fuzzy-Wuzzy,' 'Gunga Din,' and 'Tommy,' are, in our opinion, altogether superior to anything of the kind that English literature has hitherto produced.'—Athenaeum.
    'These ballads are as wonderful in their descriptive power as they are vigorous in their dramatic force. There are few ballads in the English language more stirring than 'The Ballad of East and West,' worthy to stand by the Border ballads of Scott.'—Spectator.
    'The ballads teem with imagination, they palpitate with emotion. We read them with laughter and tears; the metres throb in our pulses, the cunningly ordered words tingle with life; and if this be not poetry, what is?'—Pall Mail Gazette.
Ibsen. BRAND. A Drama by Henrik Ibsen. Translated by William Wilson. Crown 8vo. 6s.
    'The greatest world-poem of the nineteenth century next to 'Faust.' 'Brand' will have an astonishing interest for Englishmen. It is in the same set with 'Agamemnon,' with 'Lear,' with the literature that we now instinctively regard as high and holy.'—Daily Chronicle.
Henley. LYRA HEROICA: An Anthology selected from the best English Verse of the l6th, 17th, l8th, and 19th Centuries. By William Ernest Henley, Author of 'A Book of Verse,' 'Views and Reviews,' etc. Crown 8vo. Stamped gilt buckram, gilt top, edges uncut. 6s.
    'Mr. Henley has brought to the task of selection an instinct alike for poetry and for chivalry which seems to us quite wonderfully, and even unerringly, right.'—Guardian.
Tomson. A SUMMER NIGHT, AND OTHER POEMS. By Graham R. Tomson. With Frontispiece by A. Tomson. Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d.
    Also an edition on handmade paper, limited to 50 copies. Large crown 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.
    'Mrs. Tomson holds perhaps the very highest rank among poetesses of English birth. This selection will help her reputation.'—Black and White.
Langbridge. A CRACKED FIDDLE. Being Selections from the Poems of Frederic Langbridge. With Portrait. Crown 8vo. 5s.
