A FEW OF THE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"This little volume is a production of the youngest son of 'Old Humphrey,' whose books were literally dispersed by millions through Great Britain, its colonies, and the United States of America. Its pages show a great facility for composition in difficult metres, a pure and refined taste, an intense love and appreciation of nature in all her varied aspects, and a capacity for sound reflection."-Worcester and Malvern Record.

"These Poems are written as the father's stories were, with purpose, feeling, and intelligence."-Weekly Press.

"The production of a scholar and a man of taste, displaying exquisite tenderness. In one poem the author pourtrays with such singular felicity and skill the great points of difference between the masculine and feminine nature that the poem appears the production of two distinct minds, each retaining all the peculiarities of the sex to which it belongs.”—Coventry Herald.

"These poems have an interest apart from their positive excellence, the interest of association. They have a delightful naturalness, and are wholly free from sputter and spasm."Critic.

"Mr. Mogridge's volume deserves to be mentioned with great respect. We can heartily recommend it."-Patriot.

"These poems like a rich refrain leave perpetual echo in the memory. The Spanish and French translations also are excellent."-Weekly Dispatch.

"Commands our attention-our admiration is decidedly with the author of these Poems. There is much in the style of Mr. Mogridge's verse very similar to the poetical peculiarities of the Laureate."-London University Magazine.

"Refined and cultivated taste, far above the general average, expressing calm and serious thoughts on life, its duties and its cares in clear and flowing lines. An admirer of Tennyson, the author does not slavishly follow him either in subject or style." -Birmingham Journal.

Throughout imbued with high moral sentiments and a pure and sincere feeling of religion, elevating the mind and consoling the heart. Mr. Mogridge has travelled much and learned more."-Maidstone and Kentish Journal.

A considerable number of these Poems have been translated into French and circulated in France.

"They are useful less for the novelty of e information which they convey than r authenticating, summarizing, and meodizing numerous little histories that ve long since been notorious."-Times. "The conduct and courage of Captain mmes in action were worthy of his cause d of his reputation, but the qualities by hich he will be hereafter memorable will ther be the judgment with which he exeted his plans. Whether that peace for hich Captain Semmes sighed during the nely hours of his cruise comes soon or te, this at least is certain, that the flag der which the "Alabama" cruised has cɔnibuted a memorable episode to the naval story of the world."-Saturday Review. "A simple, straightforward, and most teresting narrative of a successful enterrise, which must always hold a prominent lace in the annals of naval warfare."

true gentleman and patriot, as well as a skilful and dashing sailor. The tale of the gallant "Alabama" will not easily be forgotten in the memory of Englishmen."John Bull.

"We regard the volumes before us, authentic as they may be deemed in the source, as a very useful record of a very memorable episode in naval warfare."Globe.

"An authentic account of the career of Captain Semmes-at least so far as it has been connected with the "Alabama" and "Sumter,"-compiled from his private journals and other papers, cannot fail to be read with interest both by friend and foe."-Dispatch.

"The name of Captain Semmes has gone forth into all lands wherever printed news can penetrate or the trumpet-tongue of fame is heard. Henceforth the name of Semmes is historic, and "290" is a charmed number."-Illustrated London News.

"These volumes will be read with great interest. Written in a frank, manly, unaffected style."-London Review,

Marion.

A NOVEL. By the late "MANHATTAN."

"Manhattan's novel will be read because -f the author's name. It is a pity that such novel cannot be abridged or read by eputy. It is only a very faint idea of the ife which is displayed in it that can be btained from a partial reading of it."Times.

"There is not the smallest sign of bookmaking apparent in all the pages, which contain material enough for half-a-dozen Ordinary works of fiction, in which the

usual elaboration would be brought to

bear."-Reader.

"The personages in "Marion" are supposed to circulate among, and to form part of the best New York society of the day. They are units in what we have been accustomed to hear described as the Upper Ten Thousand."-Saturday Review.

"Marion is a romance of no common order of excellence. No one who takes up the book will, if he can help it, put it down unfinished."-Herald.
