CHURCH, M.A. With Fourteen Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo, 5s. "A really charming volume in all respects. No writer has done work of this kind so well since Kingsley first set the fashion in his masterpiece, The Heroes."—Guardian. "The stories could not be told more simply and directly, or in a way better fitted to delight and interest children, than they are in this charming book. We are delighted to see the book embellished with Flaxman's exquisite illustrations. Greatly daring ... they have been coloured in simple colours, like those of classical wall paintings. The effect is quite excellent."—Spectator. THE CHILDREN'S ILIAD told for little children By Prof. A. J. CHURCH, M.A. With Fourteen Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo, 5s. "What need nowadays to praise Prof. Church's skill in presenting classical stories to young readers? This is a capital example of the cultured, simple style. A delightful gift-book."—AthenÆum. "Prof. Church has written as good a book as can ever be produced for English children from the literary treasures of Greece. The illustrations are worthy of the writing."—Sheffield Independent. "With delightful simplicity of style Prof. Church retells the story of the Siege of Troy so that it ceases to be 'history,' and becomes an engrossing narrative. The handsome volume has a dozen excellent illustrations."—Dundee Courier. THE CHILDREN'S ÆNEID told for little children By Prof. A. J. CHURCH, M.A. With Fourteen Illustrations in Colours. Extra Crown 8vo, 5s. "Professor Church has probably done more than any other man living to bring the classics of Greece and Rome within the comprehension of young folks. He has a simple style that must be the envy of writers for children."—Dundee Advertiser. "A delightful gift-book."—AthenÆum. SEELEY, SERVICE & CO. LIMITED the ROMANCE of ANIMAL ARTS & CRAFTS DESCRIBING THE WONDERFUL INTELLIGENCE OF ANIMALS REVEALED IN THEIR WORK AS MASONS, PAPER MAKERS, RAFT & DIVING-BELL BUILDERS, MINERS, TAILORS, ENGINEERS OF ROADS & BRIDGES, &C. &C. By H. COUPIN, D.Sc., & JOHN LEA, B.A. (Cantab.) With Thirty Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo., 5s. "Will carry most readers, young and old, from one surprise to another."—Glasgow Herald. "A charming subject, well set forth, and dramatically illustrated."—AthenÆum. "It seems like pure romance to read of the curious ways of Nature's craftsmen, but it is quite a true tale that is set forth in this plentifully illustrated book."—Evening Citizen. THE ROMANCE OF INSECT LIFE describing the curious & interesting in the insect world By EDMUND SELOUS Author of "The Romance of the Animal World," &c. With Sixteen Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo, 5s. "An entertaining volume, one more of a series which seeks with much success to describe the wonders of nature and science in simple, attractive form."—Graphic. "Offers most interesting descriptions of the strange and curious inhabitants of the insect world, sure to excite inquiry and to foster observation. There are ants white and yellow, locusts and cicadas, bees and butterflies, spiders and beetles, scorpions and cockroaches—and especially ants—with a really scientific investigation of their wonderful habits not in dry detail, but in free and charming exposition and narrative. An admirable book to put in the hands of a boy or girl with a turn for natural science—and whether or not."—Educational Times. THE ROMANCE OF THE ANIMAL WORLD describing the curious and interesting in natural history By EDMUND SELOUS With Sixteen full-page Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo, 5s. "Mr. Selous takes a wide range in Nature; he has seen many wonders which he relates. Open the book where we will we find something astonishing."—Spectator. "It is in truth a most fascinating book, as full of incidents and as various in interest as any other work of imagination, and, beyond the pleasure in the reading there is the satisfaction of knowing that one is in the hands of a genuine authority on some of the most picturesque subjects that natural history affords. Mr. Selous' method is strong, safe, and sound. The volume has numerous illustrations of a high order of workmanship and a handsome binding of striking design."—School Government Chronicle. SEELEY, SERVICE & CO. LIMITED THE ROMANCE OF MODERN ELECTRICITY DESCRIBING IN NON-TECHNICAL LANGUAGE WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT ELECTRICITY & MANY OF ITS INTERESTING APPLICATIONS By CHARLES R. GIBSON, A.I.E.E. AUTHOR OF "ELECTRICITY OF TO-DAY," ETC. Extra Crown 8vo. With 34 Illustrations and 11 Diagrams. 5s. "Everywhere Mr. Charles R. Gibson makes admirable use of simple analogies which bespeak the practised lecturer, and bring the matter home without technical detail. The attention is further sustained by a series of surprises. The description of electric units, the volt, the ohm, and especially the ampere, is better than we have found in more pretentious works."—Academy. "Mr. Gibson's style is very unlike the ordinary text-book. It is fresh, and is non-technical. Its facts are strictly scientific, however, and thoroughly up to date. If we wish to gain a thorough knowledge of electricity pleasantly and without too much trouble on our own part, we will read Mr. Gibson's 'romance.'"—Expository Times. "A book which the merest tyro totally unacquainted with elementary electrical principles can understand, and should therefore especially appeal to the lay reader. Especial interest attaches to the chapter on wireless telegraphy, a subject which is apt to 'floor' the uninitiated. The author reduces the subject to its simplest aspect, and describes the fundamental principles underlying the action of the coherer in language so simple that anyone can grasp them."—Electricity. THE ROMANCE OF THE SHIP THE STORY OF HER ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES By E. KEBLE CHATTERTON, B.A. Oxon. AUTHOR OF "SAILING SHIPS AND THEIR STORY," ETC. ETC. With 34 Illustrations. Price 5s. "One of the most instructive and intelligent treatises on sea-life that it has yet been our lot to peruse."—Syren and Shipping. "There is not a doubt about this volume being the best of its kind yet published."—Dundee Courier. "Absorbingly interesting and highly instructive."—Liverpool Daily Post. THE ROMANCE OF MODERN ASTRONOMY By HECTOR MACPHERSON, Junior With 32 Illustrations & Diagrams. Extra Crown 8vo. Price 5s. "We can conceive no book better adapted than this handsomely got up and beautifully illustrated volume to attract the young, and even older people to the study of the sublimest of sciences."—Edinburgh News. "Described in popular language, yet with a thoroughness which will give the reader a surprisingly complete grasp of the subject."—Christian. "An ideal book for presentation, as indeed all Messrs. Seeley's Romance books are."—Eastern Morning News. "An excellent compendium of the most interesting facts in astronomy, told in popular language. Great care has evidently been taken to secure accuracy. The illustrations are exceedingly good."—The AthenÆum. SEELEY, SERVICE & CO. LIMITED Stories by Prof. A. J. Church "The Headmaster of Eton (Dr. the Hon. E. Lyttelton) advised his hearers, in a recent speech at the Royal Albert Institute, to read Professor A. J. Church's "Stories from Homer," some of which, he said, he had read to Eton boys after a hard school day, and at an age when they were not in the least desirous of learning, but were anxious to go to tea. The stories were so brilliantly told, however, that those young Etonians were entranced by them, and they actually begged of him to go on, being quite prepared to sacrifice their tea time."
