first volume of poems. The profits of this book, over
the benefit of the author; but she insisted upon having,

a circulating library at Bristol Hot Wells. According
to the accounts of Miss More and her biographer, (see
Roberts's Memoirs of H. More, vol. i. ch. iv.,) she was
guilty of great ingratitude to her friends. Mr. Cottle

that she has been unduly censured; and her own Narra-

its occasional lines, the poem, as a whole, is repugnant in story, ponderous in style, false in philosophy."-Lon. Athen., 1854, 49.

"The learned editor. . . has made such extensive and important additions to it as to render it far more serviceable to scholars than the English edition. The most striking original contribution of a special character which has been made to the work is an Essay on the Order of Words in Attic Greek Prose, by Prof. Charles Short. We doubt much whether any thing ship of this country. It represents not only a mass of general has recently appeared more creditable to the classical scholargrammatical and syntactical knowledge, but an extended course of special reading among the Attic prose writers. No student can turn over its pages without being struck with its valuable and elaborate character. Professor Short has by this investigation placed himself in the first rank of the Hellenists of the age. It is understood that he has, in addition to his general efforts to advance classical scholarship and criticism in this country, given long-continued attention to the illustration and exposition of Homer; and it is to be sincerely hoped, now that Homeric studies are attracting notice, that he will be induced to give the public the results of his researches and reflections."-Amer. Lit. Gaz., June 1, 1870, 78.

Professor Drisler, in his preface to this edition of Yonge's Lexicon, "calls the attention of scholars to Dr. Short's Essay, "as the first attempt to collect in a single treatise the various points of this difficult and extensive subject; not even among the Germans has any thing so full and so systematic been undertaken." We add that all classical Greek Lexicons should be supplemented by the Greek Lexicon of the Roman and Byzantine Periods, (from B.c. 146 to A.D. 1100,) by E. A. Sophocles, Bost., 1870, r. 8vo: favourably reviewed in the Bookseller, (London,) Aug. 3, 1870, 653. Yonge's English-Greek Lexicon, abridged from the larger work, 1864, sq. cr. 8vo, pp. 481. 5.

"On the whole, we think he has been pretty successful. Important events in our history are sometimes omitted, and trivial, and even exploded, anecdotes too often supply their place.... Occasionally, too, we meet with inaccuracies and contradictions."-Lon. Gent. Mag., 1857, ii. 429.

"Mr. Yonge's History,' up to the opening of the present reign,

is a vigorous, well-distributed compilation; beyond that point it becomes meagre, loose, and altogether unsatisfactory."-Lon. Athen., 1857, 1144.

11. Parallel Lives of Ancient and Modern Heroes: of Epaminondas, Philip of Macedon, Gustavus Adolphus, and Frederic the Great, 1858, 12mo. Again, Great and Brave in History, &c., 1865, fp. 8vo. 12. Life of FieldMarshal the Duke of Wellington, with portrait, plans, and maps, 1860, 2 vols. 8vo, £2.

"If read carefully, it leaves the impression that Mr. Yonge is master of the Duke's life, except where he quits the broad canvas and attempts portrait-painting. If we want that, we must turn to the Chaplain-General of the army, [i.e. WELLINGTON, ARTHUR, DUKE OF, No. 41.]"-Lon. Athen., 1860, i. 85. See, also, Lon. Critic, Jan. 1860.

13. P. Virgilii Maronis Bucolica, Georgica et Æneis; with English Notes: for the Use of Eton, Harrow, Rugby, and Winchester, 1862, p. 8vo. Contains the notes of Hawtrey, Key, and Munro.

"We have abundant reason to thank Mr. Yonge, and to believe that his handsome work will, doubtless, for many years to come, be the standard History of the British Navy."-Lon. Examiner, 1863.

"The theme is one that will stir many a heart, young and old; and Mr. Yonge has treated it in a manner which cannot fail to bring him honour, and ought not to fail to bring him

profit."-Lon. Athen., 1863.

"In the writing of it, Mr. Yonge has had special advantages. ... In his two volumes he is able to tell over again some of the most delightful episodes in English history."-Lon. Reader, 1863, ii. 627. See, also, Lon. Times, Jan. 5, 24, 26, 1865.

15. The History of France under the Bourbons: From the Accession of Henry IV. to the Expulsion of Charles X., 1589-1830, 8vo: vols. i., ii., coutaining the Reigns of Henry IV., Louis XIII., Louis XIV., A.D. 1589-1715, Dec. 1866; vols. iii., iv., 1867.

"The very dryness of Mr. Yonge's style, and its want of what artists call tone, gives a not inappropriate effect to his account

of the grim and terrible Richelieu, and his weak and odious'

Sovereign, Louis XIII."-Lom. Reader, 1866, i. 58.

16. Notes for Latin Elegiacs, 1866. Commended as well planned.

17. The Life and Administration of the Second Earl of Liverpool, Compiled from Original Documents, Nov. 1868, 3 vols. 8vo, 428.

Rev., Nov. 1856, art. vi.: Religious Novels.

"The author of The Heir of Redclyffe is scarcely to be called a novelist in the ordinary sense of the term; but in her elaborate, minute, and capital pictures of domestic life we have here and there a central or prominent figure as nobly conceived as any which our literature can show."-Fraser's Mag., 1859.

"She is the authoress of several works of fiction, in which the plot is made to enforce, in a plain and sober manner, the peculiar doctrines of what is called the High-Church school of opinion."-Men of the Time, 1868, 836.

"As a writer of elegant stories, inculcating a healthy morality and true womanly sentiments, and eminently adapted to develop and form the tastes of young girls at that critical period when childhood is blushing into womanly maturity, the author of Heart's Ease has excelled all her rivals."-Jeaffreson's Novels and Novelists, 1858, ii. 406.
