"_Mrs. Webster has shown us that she is able to draw admirably from the life; that she can observe with subtlety, and render her observations with delicacy; that she can impersonate complex conceptions, and venture into which few living writers can follow her_."--_Guardian_. Woolner ------- MY BEAUTIFUL LADY. By THOMAS WOOLNER. With a Vignette by _Arthur Hughes_. _Third Edition_. Fcap. 8vo. 5_s_. "_It is clearly the product of no idle hour, but a highly-conceived and faithfully-executed task, self-imposed, and prompted by that inward yearning to utter great thoughts, and a wealth of passionate feeling which is poetic genius. No man can read this poem without being struck by the fitness and finish of the workmanship, so to speak, as well as by the chastened and unpretending loftiness of thought which pervades the whole_." _Globe_. WORDS FROM THE POETS. Selected by the Editor of "Rays of Sunlight." With a Vignette and Frontispiece. 18mo. Extra cloth gilt, 2_s. 6d_. _Cheaper Edition_, 18mo. limp., 1_s_. |
