WORKS BY AUGUSTUS J. C. HARE.
CITIES OF SOUTHERN ITALY AND SICILY.
With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 12s. 6d.
'Mr. Hare's name will be a sufficient passport for the popularity of his new work. His books on the Cities of Italy are fast becoming as indispensable to the traveller in that part of the country as the guide-books of Murray or of Baedeker. . . . . .His book is one which I should advise all future travellers in Southern Italy and Sicily to find room for in their portmanteaus.'—Academy.
CITIES OF CENTRAL ITALY. With Illustrations. 2 vols. crown 8vo. 21s.
CITIES OF NORTHERN ITALY. With Illustrations.
2 vols. crown 8vo. 21s.
'We can imagine no better way of spending a wet day in Florence or Venice than in reading all that Mr. Hare has to say and quote about the history, arts, and famous people of those cities. These volumes come under the class of volumes not to borrow, but to buy.'—Morning Post.
WALKS IN ROME. Eleventh Edition. With Map.2 vols. crown 8vo. 18s.
'The best handbook of the city and environs of Rome ever published. . . . . .Cannot be too much commended.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'This book is sure to be very useful. It is thoroughly practical, and is the best guide that yet has been offered.'—Daily News.
WALKS IN LONDON. Fifth Edition. With numerous Illustrations. 2 vols. crown 8vo. 21s.
'One of the really valuable as well as pleasant companions to the peripatetic philosopher's rambling studies of the town.'—Daily Telegraph.
WANDERINGS IN SPAIN. With Illustrations. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.
'Mr. Hare's book is admirable. We are sure no one will regret making it the companion of a Spanish journey. It will bear reading repeatedly when one is moving among the scenes it describes—no small advantage when the travelling library is scanty.'—Saturday Review.

NEW 'STANDARD' EDITION
OF THE
COMPLETE WORKS OF W. M. THACKERAY.
In Twenty-six Volumes, large 8vo. each 10s. 6d.
This Edition is being printed from new type, on fine paper; it will include some of Mr. Thackeray's Writings which have not before been collected, with many additional Illustrations; and, with the exception of the Edition de Luxe, it will be the largest and handsomest edition that has been published.
A VOLUME WILL BE ISSUED ON THE 1ST OF EACH MONTH UNTIL THE CONCLUSION OF THE SERIES.
EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES BY THE PRESS.
THE TIMES.
'Messrs. Smith & Elder, whose monumental edition of the works of Thackeray gave an example which has been somewhat widely followed of erecting memorials to the fame of men of letters, by splendid issues of their writings, have now commenced an equally worthy, and, perhaps, more practically useful enterprise, in the publication of another collected edition of the writings of the same novelist. The first volume, containing part of "Vanity Fair," has just been published. It reproduces the form and contains the quaint illustrations, by Thackeray himself, of that original issue in monthly parts, which lingers in the recollections of his earliest readers. This will be, in the opinion of many, a very considerable advantage.'
THE SCOTSMAN.
'How many editions of Thackeray's works have been published of late years it would be difficult to say. There can have been no author of recent times who has found more or better deserved favour with the public. Another edition is now being published; it is an edition in twenty-six volumes, large 8vo. It contains the drawings by which the story was originally illustrated, and has in this respect a special value. . . . It is safe to foretell that this edition will have a success equal to that of any of its predecessors.'
THE STANDARD.
'It is now thirty-five years since "Vanity Fair" was written, and if we allow twenty years for the novel-reading period of each generation, Thackeray's popularity has stood the test of two generations, and barely a year passes without some fresh edition of his works being called for. To use the common phrase, no library is considered complete without him; and no one who buys his works is content with anything short of a library edition. For this reason we may safely predict a ready welcome and a rapid sale for the present issue, which, in respect of paper, typography, and binding, is altogether satisfactory.'
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.
'A new edition of Thackeray's works is now to be published called the "Standard" Edition (twenty-six volumes), and the first of these is very naturally the first volume of the immortal and indestructible "Vanity Fair." Very little is left to be desired in the exterior appearance of these books, and the interior is embellished—as his works ought always to be—with the "Author's own candles," to wit, his original illustrations to his own letter-press. . . . It is pleasant to have an English classic presented to us in the guise in which "Mr. Titmarsh" appears in the "Standard" Vanity Fair.'
