“The most attractive Birthday Book ever published.”Crown Quarto, in specially designed Cover, Cloth, Price 6s.“Wedding Present” Edition, in Silver Cloth, 7s. 6d., in Box. Also in Limp Morocco, in Box.An Entirely New Edition. Revised Throughout.With Twelve Full-Page Portraits of Celebrated Musicians.DEDICATED TO PADEREWSKI.The Music of the Poets:A MUSICIANS’ BIRTHDAY BOOK.Compiled byELEONORE D’ESTERRE-KEELING.This is an entirely new edition of this popular work. The size has been altered, the page having been made a little longer and narrower (9 × 6½ inches), thus allowing space for a larger number of autographs. The setting-up of the pages has also been improved, and a large number of names of composers, instrumentalists and singers, has been added to those which appeared in the previous edition. A special feature of the book consists in the reproduction in fac-simile of autographs, and autographic music, of living composers; among the many new autographs which have been added to the present edition being those of MM. Paderewski (to whom the book is dedicated), Mascagni, Eugen d’Albert, Sarasate, Hamish McCunn, and C. Hubert Parry. Merely as a volume of poetry about music, this book makes a charming anthology, the selections of verse extending from a period anterior to Chaucer to the present day.Among the additional writers represented in the new edition are Alfred Austin, Arthur Christopher Benson, John Davidson, Norman Gale, Richard Le Gallienne, Nora Hopper, Jean Ingelow, George Meredith, Alice Meynell, Coventry Patmore, Mary Robinson, Francis Thompson, Dr. Todhunter, Katharine Tynan, William Watson, and W. B. Yeats. The new edition is illustrated with portraits of Handel, Beethoven, Bach, Gluck, Chopin, Wagner, Liszt, Rubinstein, and others. The compiler has taken the greatest pains to make the new edition of the work as complete as possible; and a new binding has been specially designed by an eminent artist.Crown 8vo, about 350 pp. each, Cloth Cover, 2/6 per Vol.;Half-Polished Morocco, Gilt Top, 5s.Count Tolstoy’s Works.The following Volumes are already issued—A RUSSIAN PROPRIETOR.THE COSSACKS.IVAN ILYITCH, AND OTHER STORIES.MY RELIGION.LIFE.MY CONFESSION.CHILDHOOD, BOYHOOD, YOUTH.THE PHYSIOLOGY OF WAR.ANNA KARÉNINA. 3/6.WHAT TO DO?WAR AND PEACE.

Printed in very clear type.)This is not only one of the finest, but probably one of the longest novels ever written, occupying, as it does in this edition, 1600 large and closely printed pages. Notwithstanding its vast length, its multitude of figures, the number of events it deals with, the interest ofWar and Peaceis not only intense, but unbroken throughout the immense march of the story, so that no reader, great though the undertaking is, will fail to read to the end once he has started on the book. The eminent French critic, Vicomte E. M. de Vogüé, writing onWar and Peace, says:“As you advance in the book, curiosity changes into astonishment, and astonishment into admiration, before this impassive judge, who calls before his tribunal all human actions, and makes the soul render to itself an account of all its secrets. You feel yourself swept away on the current of a tranquil river, the depth of which you cannot fathom; it is life itself which is passing, agitating the hearts of men, which are suddenly made bare in the truth and complexity of their movements.”At the end of the second volume, a complete Synopsis of the story is given, also a list of the principal characters (of which there are about one hundred).COMMEMORATION VOLUME.Crown 8vo, Cloth Elegant (the Cover specially designed), price 2s. 6d.With 35 Full-page Illustrations.“DIAMOND” JUBILEE EDITION.Our Queen:The Life and Times of Victoria, Queen of GreatBritain and Ireland, Empress of India, etc.By the Authors of “General Gordon,” “Grace Darling,” etc.This important work provides an exhaustive history of the life of the Queen, from her infancy to the present year in which she commemorates the sixtieth year of her reign. Any account of the life of the Queen would be imperfect that did not take into account the immense march of progress—political, industrial, and scientific—and the many memorable events which her reign has witnessed. In the course of its narrative this volume deals with these events in an impartial and enlightened spirit; it provides, in fact, a complete and authentic history of our own times in their religious, social, literary, artistic, and scientific aspects, together with biographical records of the many men and women of eminence of the Victorian era. Perhaps in no respect have such great strides been made as in the extent of the territory over which our Queen rules. When she ascended the throne, her sway extended over 1,387,000 square miles (including colonies and dependencies); now the empire has an area of 11,130,000 square miles, it being thus eight times as large as at the beginning of the reign. The vast interest of the subject of the work need not be commented on, an interest which will be both intensified and universally felt during the present year, and which it is the object of this attractively and earnestly written book to worthily and adequately satisfy. The many portraits which it will contain will add effectively to the value of the work.An Edition of this Work on large paper (Demy 8vo) with ColouredIllustrations, price 5s., is also published.BOOKS OF FAIRY TALES.Crown 8vo, Cloth Elegant, Price 3/6 per Vol.ENGLISH FAIRY AND OTHER FOLK TALES.Selected and Edited, with an Introduction,ByEDWIN SIDNEY HARTLAND.With Twelve Full-Page Illustrations byCharles E.

The Music of the Poets:
A MUSICIANS’ BIRTHDAY BOOK.
Compiled byELEONORE D’ESTERRE-KEELING.
This is an entirely new edition of this popular work. The size has been altered, the page having been made a little longer and narrower (9 × 6½ inches), thus allowing space for a larger number of autographs. The setting-up of the pages has also been improved, and a large number of names of composers, instrumentalists and singers, has been added to those which appeared in the previous edition. A special feature of the book consists in the reproduction in fac-simile of autographs, and autographic music, of living composers; among the many new autographs which have been added to the present edition being those of MM. Paderewski (to whom the book is dedicated), Mascagni, Eugen d’Albert, Sarasate, Hamish McCunn, and C. Hubert Parry. Merely as a volume of poetry about music, this book makes a charming anthology, the selections of verse extending from a period anterior to Chaucer to the present day.
Among the additional writers represented in the new edition are Alfred Austin, Arthur Christopher Benson, John Davidson, Norman Gale, Richard Le Gallienne, Nora Hopper, Jean Ingelow, George Meredith, Alice Meynell, Coventry Patmore, Mary Robinson, Francis Thompson, Dr. Todhunter, Katharine Tynan, William Watson, and W. B. Yeats. The new edition is illustrated with portraits of Handel, Beethoven, Bach, Gluck, Chopin, Wagner, Liszt, Rubinstein, and others. The compiler has taken the greatest pains to make the new edition of the work as complete as possible; and a new binding has been specially designed by an eminent artist.

(Contains 1600 pages. Printed in very clear type.)
This is not only one of the finest, but probably one of the longest novels ever written, occupying, as it does in this edition, 1600 large and closely printed pages. Notwithstanding its vast length, its multitude of figures, the number of events it deals with, the interest ofWar and Peaceis not only intense, but unbroken throughout the immense march of the story, so that no reader, great though the undertaking is, will fail to read to the end once he has started on the book. The eminent French critic, Vicomte E. M. de Vogüé, writing onWar and Peace, says:
“As you advance in the book, curiosity changes into astonishment, and astonishment into admiration, before this impassive judge, who calls before his tribunal all human actions, and makes the soul render to itself an account of all its secrets. You feel yourself swept away on the current of a tranquil river, the depth of which you cannot fathom; it is life itself which is passing, agitating the hearts of men, which are suddenly made bare in the truth and complexity of their movements.”
At the end of the second volume, a complete Synopsis of the story is given, also a list of the principal characters (of which there are about one hundred).

Our Queen:
The Life and Times of Victoria, Queen of GreatBritain and Ireland, Empress of India, etc.
By the Authors of “General Gordon,” “Grace Darling,” etc.
This important work provides an exhaustive history of the life of the Queen, from her infancy to the present year in which she commemorates the sixtieth year of her reign. Any account of the life of the Queen would be imperfect that did not take into account the immense march of progress—political, industrial, and scientific—and the many memorable events which her reign has witnessed. In the course of its narrative this volume deals with these events in an impartial and enlightened spirit; it provides, in fact, a complete and authentic history of our own times in their religious, social, literary, artistic, and scientific aspects, together with biographical records of the many men and women of eminence of the Victorian era. Perhaps in no respect have such great strides been made as in the extent of the territory over which our Queen rules. When she ascended the throne, her sway extended over 1,387,000 square miles (including colonies and dependencies); now the empire has an area of 11,130,000 square miles, it being thus eight times as large as at the beginning of the reign. The vast interest of the subject of the work need not be commented on, an interest which will be both intensified and universally felt during the present year, and which it is the object of this attractively and earnestly written book to worthily and adequately satisfy. The many portraits which it will contain will add effectively to the value of the work.
An Edition of this Work on large paper (Demy 8vo) with ColouredIllustrations, price 5s., is also published.

‘We seem at last to be shown men and women as they are; and at first it is more than we can endure.... All Ibsen’s characters speak and act as if they were hypnotised, and under their creator’s imperious demand to reveal themselves. There never was such a mirror held up to nature before; it is too terrible.... Yet we must return to Ibsen, with his remorseless surgery, his remorseless electric-light, until we, too, have grown strong and learned to face the naked—if necessary, the flayed and bleeding—reality.’—Speaker(London).

“For Englishmen to boast of generationCancels their knowledge, and lampoons the nation.A true-born Englishman’s a contradiction,In speech an irony, in fact a fiction.And here begins the ancient pedigreeThat so exalts our poor nobility.’Tis that from some French trooper they derive,Who with the Norman bastard did arrive.The trophies of the families appear.Some show the sword, the bow, and some the spear,Which their great ancestor, forsooth, did wear.These in the herald’s register remainTheir noble mean extraction to explain;Yet who the hero was no man can tell,Whether a drummer or a colonel;The silent record blushes to revealTheir undescended, dark original.These are the heroes that despise the DutchAnd rail at new-come foreigners so much,Forgetting that themselves are all derivedFrom the most scoundrel race that ever lived;A horrid crowd of rambling thieves and drones,Who ransacked kingdoms and dispeopled towns;The Pict and painted Briton, treacherous Scot,By hunger, theft, and rapine hither brought,Norwegian pirates, buccaneering Danes,Whose red-haired offspring everywhere remains,Who, joined with Norman-French, compound the breedFrom whence your true-born Englishmen proceed.And, lest by length of time, it be pretendedThe climate may this modern breed have mended,Wise Providence, to keep us where we are,Mixes us daily with exceeding care.We have been Europe’s sink, the jakes where sheVoids all her offal outcast progeny.For ages, fugitives from neighbouring landsHave here a certain sanctuary found;The eternal refuge of the vagabond,Wherein but half a common age of time,Borrowing new blood and manners from the clime,Proudly they learn all mankind to contemn,And all their race are true-born Englishmen.”
