ILLUSTRATED EDITION, each volume containing sixteen full-page Illustrations, made expressly for this edition, elegantly bound in green morocco cloth, $1 50 per volume. PLAIN EDITION, crimson morocco cloth, $1 25.

"Taking the Pickwick Papers as a specimen, it is safe to say that this edition must stand unrivalled by any other, English or American, in neatness of typography and convenience of size, combined with cheapness."-New York Times. "In typography, binding, compactness, and cheapness, this beautiful Diamond Edition of Dickens leaves nothing to be desired."-Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

In Preparation:

The Diamond Longfellow.

This Edition bids fair to be as popular as the DIAMOND TENNYSON, and the DIAMOND DICKENS, now in course of publication.

THE TENT ON THE BEACH.

By JOHN G. WHITTIER. $1.50.

"The plan of the poem is felicitous. It describes a party of friends who pitched their tent on a New England beach, and 'fitted the time gently as they did in the golden age,' by leisure, talk, song, and saunter . . . . No previous volume of Whittier's manifests such versatility as this."-New York Times.

FREDERICK THE GREAT AND HIS FAMILY.

BY LOUISA MÜHLBACH.

TRANSLATED BY MRS. CHAPMAN COLEMAN AND HER DAUGHTERS.

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS.

1 volume, 8vo., double columns. Paper covers, $1 50; cloth, $2.

"The historian presents to you the outward face, the external form of history; Historical Romance would show you the heart of history, and thus bring near to your heart what, else, would stand so far off. To enable him to do this, the writer of an Historical Romance must, indeed, make severe and various studies. He must devote his whole mind and soul to the epoch he would illustrate; he must live in it and feel with it. He must so familiarize himself with all the details, as in a manner to become a child of that epoch; for he can present a really living image of only that which is living in himself. That this requires a deep and earnest study of history is self-evident. Historical Romance demands the study of the historian, together with the creative imagination of the poet. For the free embodiment of the poet can blossom only from out the studio of the historian, as the flower from the seed; as by a reciprocal organic action, the hyacinth is derived from the onion, and the rose from its seed-capsule, so is history and poetry combined in the Historical Romance, giving and receiving life to and from each other."-Extract from "Remarks upon the Historical Romance."

"The very lightest, freshest, and yet most accurate metrical translation of Virgil that has yet been added to our litera ture."-London Examiner.

"As we are enticed on by its magic music, we cannot doubt that Professor Conington has chosen the best metre."-London Athenæum.

"It is scarcely possible, within our present limits, to do justice to the critical and poetical qualities displayed in this translation."-London Saturday Review.

"Professor Conington's translation will certainly do much to increase among the general public a right understanding and appreciation of the great Roman poet."-Frazer's Magazine.

"It was reserved for Mr. Conington to give us a thoroughly English phrase of poetry which has all the vigor as well as the sense of Virgil.”—Blackwood's Magazine.
