ENGLISH MEN OF LETTERS
Edited by JOHN MORLEY.
JOHNSON. By Leslie Stephen. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"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. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"We could not wish for a more suggestive introduction to Scott and his poems and novels."—Examiner.
GIBBON. By J. C. Morison. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"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.

HUME. By Pofessor Huxley, F.R.S. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"It may fairly be said that no one now living could have expounded Hume with more sympathy or with equal perspicuity. "—Athenæum.
GOLDSMITH. By William Black. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"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. "—Athenæum.
DEFOE. By W. Minto. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"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."—Athenæum.
BURNS. By Principal Shairp. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"It is impossible to desire fairer criticism than Principal Shairp's on Burn's poetry. . . . None of the series has given a truer estimate either of character or of genius than this volume."—Spectator.

BURKE. By John Morley. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"It is no disparagement to the literary studies already published in this admirable series, to say that none of, them have surpassed, while few have equalled, this volume on Burke."—British Quarterly Review.

CHAUCER. By Professor A. W. Ward. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"An enjoyable and excellent little book; far away the best connected account of Chaucer and his works to be found in English."—Academy.
