Essays & Letters of MONTAIGNE.
Edited by WILLIAM CAREW HAZLITT.
NEW AND ENLARGED INDEX
An Entirely New Edition formed from a Collation of
the Foreign Quotations; a fresh English rendering and
a careful revision of the text throughout. Some
account of the Life of Montaigne, Notes to
which are added, a Translation of all
the Letters known to be extant.
Portraits, Facsimile Letter, and other Illustrations.
Mr. Hazlitt's Montaigne,—An entirely new Edition text of Montaigne's Essays and Letters (founded on the now extremely scarce one published in 1877 in three volumes octavo) has now been brought to completion (Publisher, Messrs. Reeves and Turner) and will, partly by reason of enlarged introductory matter and partly by additional notes, extend to four volumes. The Edition of 1877 was superintended by Mr. Hazlitt's father, though bearing his own name on the title, and he merely contributed the Preface. The book has now at length been adapted to the last French Variorum so far as possible, and innumerable errors of the former English versions have been rectified. The Biographical account of the essayist has been considerably amplified and instead of the sixteen Letters given in 1877 there are thirty-five, many of which are of interest and importance towards understanding the Life of the Author. A salient feature in the present undertaking is to have substituted for the English colloquial equivalents, or rather supposed equivalents of the great Frenchman's language, the words which he actually uses or the sense, which he actually intends to convey; and the difference is often curious and sometimes immense between him and his English renderers.—The AthenÆum.

CHOPIN: the man and his music.
BY JAMES HUNEKER,
Author of "Mezzotints in Modern Music."
"Mr Huneker is a Chopin enthusiast. He accords admiration to Brahms, to Wagner, to TchaÏkovsky: his worship is reserved for Chopin. Being gifted with clear insight and imagination which grasp many and diverse moods Mr. Huneker is a sane critic and a manly.... There is no pretence at new material in the book. Mr. Huneker has garnered all that has been written about the composer and he has threshed out the grain from the chaff. The result is, therefore, of value."—Musical Standard.

Cobbett's "Rural Rides" is to us a delightful book, but it is one which few people know. We are not sure that up to the present time it was impossible to get a nice edition of it.
