NOW READY,

CIIARLS K ENT'S POEMS.
THE FIRST COLLECTIVE EDITION.
Handsomely bound in cloth, bevelled boards, Crown Octavo,
price Seven Shillings and Sixpence.
" As many of these compositions are already old acquaintances,
we need only glance at the picturesque and appreciative de-
lineations of poets in their haunts, called 'Dreamland t at the
rich and finished transcript from nature, entitled Fruetidor
at the chivalrous tone of the writer's mind and its sympathy
with modern ideas, as evidenced in such poems as Lamartine
in February ; at his simple and genuine pathos, of which
Amelia' is a type ; and at his sympathy with the animated
pleasures of rural life, in evidence of which we may ode The
Morris Dancers.' • Aletheia' is the longest, and, on the whole,
the noblest poem in the collection. It will be recurred to not
only for its beauty of description, but for its pure and elevated
philosophy. The reader will note not only the atmosphere in
which the chief figure moves, but also the full and appropriate
details which enrich the picture. The high and varied merits
of the book ought to insure its popularity. '—Athenaoum.
" Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of The Sun,' ranks very high
as a poet."—Publishers' Circular.
"The versatility of style, and the fresh and vigorous writing
in these poems, lend a charm which we seldom find in the poetry
of the day."—Examiner. •
"Poems marked by grace, feeling, and strong love of
nature, and a cultivated and genial spirit."—Daily News.
" The poems which appear for the first time in this volume
are not unworthy of the author's earlier productions."—Daily
Telegraph.
"Mr. Kent may not aspire to be classed among the Dil
Majores ' of thepoetle court, but assuredly he will take a very,
respectable position among the lesser divinities."—Standard.
"There is much that is very beautiful in the poems before
us—a collection of the thoughts, the emotions, the feelings of a
whole lifetime.'!--Tablet.
The "Rock " expressed its " edrdial admiration for the genius
and the taste of Mr. Keat as a poet of very considerable powers
and culture," adding, "The real vigour of Mr. Kent's poetical
spirit manifests itself chiefly in dealing-with the feelings. He is
equally at home in pathos and in terror, and in strains that
,go
right to the heart and stir the emotions to the lowest depths.
"Mr. Charles Kent has long been known to wield a facile pen
in writing poems of the class just indicated, and it is but fair to
add that he takes high rank among the minor poets"—Echo.
The "Westminster Review." while regretting it " cannot join
in the chorus of praise, nor share in the enthusiasm which has
been raised over Mr. Kent's poems," adds that it " cannot, how-
ever, part with the,book without expressing a Word of praise
for its generous tone and sympathies."
"He is a true poet, and his works will live."—News of the
World.
"We have the pleasant task of welcoming, as a real addition
to the ranks of our true poets, Mr. Kent. He is something more
than a mere versifier ; he is a real poet, and has proved it.
' Milton at Cripplegate '—an exquisite picture of the blind old
poet discoursing sweet sounds upon the organ in solitary but
resigned sadness—is a poem 'that ought to live. Such of our
readers as care for the roll of Milton's own blank verse, for
thoroughly poetic fancies, for delicate imagery, sad fora high and
pure tone of moral feeling, we must leave to ponder over this
short poem for themselves."—London Figaro.
" That very graceful poem which appeared in the Times' as
a welcome to Longfellow, and which, from the initials, was
attributed to the author of Hypatia, was written by Mr. Charles
Kent, the Editor of ' The Sun,' and was worthy of a priest of
Phoebus Apollo."—l'unch.
" We find in the volume a luxuriant imagery, the fruit of a
life-long study of nature. As for flowers I—Mr. Kent is as well
up in them as Shakepore himself. Lastly, it recommends itself
to us by its historical sympathies and views, and by the charm-
ing pictures of domestic life, with its affections and blessings,
which it frequently affords us."—The Month.

A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME
AND BACK,

WITH AN AOOOIINT OF THE OPENING OF THE
CECITMENICAL COUNCIL,
AND GLANOES AT

MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND
VENICE.
BY WILLIAM EVrLL.
STANFORD, Charing Cross. Mee 43.

" Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of
A Winter Journey to some.' His descriptions of scenery in the
Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, showing
much sympathy with nature, and a relined intelligence, Though
the style of the book is somewhat sketohy, it is thoroughly
readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council,
which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."—
Daily Telegraph.
" Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited
the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much
to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet
we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To
gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or
woman to take ap a new volume ; and if Mr. Evil does not add
distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—of placing
familiar scenes in' a fresh and agreeable light. . . The
book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall
Gazette.

" Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself
an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare
31r. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once
or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could
spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func-
tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture
and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As
a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned
cities through which he made this winter journey, he has
acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun.
" The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the
picturesque, mid describes what he saw in forcible and some-
times eloquent language. .. . Notwithstanding his well-
worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume,
which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News.
" There iS2IO pretension whatever about the book of travels,
and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing
that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its
descriptions of places and worksOf art we can thoroughly testify,
and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an
Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves
with a copy:"—Bell's Weekly Messenger.
" Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable
him to witness the great gathering of prelates in attendance
at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was
accomplished with great rapidity, but' his hasty en route
sketches are lively and amusing."—B,ecord.
" In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter-
esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into
the compass of two goodly volumes ln the very first
page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its
contents We recommend the entire little volume as
well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental
information."—News of the World.
" The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the
season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir-
cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables
him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has
seen. . • . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company
with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro-
cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican
Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western
Morning News.
" Italy has been described to the reading world again and
again, and, therefore, the charm of Mt. Evill's book is not the
charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, Inge
nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The authot records
his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian
scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone
before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The
exterior andinterior of Milan cathedral are put 'before us in
glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the
(Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of
Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the
average of such descriptions. 'We are sure that readers, after a
perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery
described, and be grateful to Mr. Evil for his pleasant recollec-
tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News.
" Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be
read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English-
women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . .
The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it
every success,
and think that many untravelled Englishmen
will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's " Winter
Journey to Rome."—The Examiner.
" This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip-
tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the
(Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in
irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full
authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be
many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is
queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten-
tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching
that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make
up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not
affront, a liberal Roman Catholic; and may command the assent,
but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant"—

faithful addresses have been given.

every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.
To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John
Stabb, Ron. Sec., 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
