"They who have never visited the scenes which Mr. Winter so charmingly describes will be eager to do so in order to realize his fine descriptions of them, and they who have already visited them will be incited by his eloquent recital of their attractions to repeat their former pleasant experiences."--_Public Ledger_, _Philadelphia_.

THE CHOICE OF BOOKS, AND OTHER LITERARY PIECES.

By FREDERIC HARRISON,

AUTHOR OF "OLIVER CROMWELL," ETC.

"Mr. Harrison is an able and conscientious critic, a good logician, and a clever man; his faults are superficial, and his book will not fail to be valuable."--_N.Y. Times_.

Mr. JOHN MORLEY, in his speech on the study of literature at the Mansion House, 26th February, 1887, said:

"Those who are curious as to what they should read in the region of pure literature will do well to peruse my friend Frederic Harrison's volume called _The Choice of Books_. You will find there as much wise thought, eloquently and brilliantly put, as in any volume of its size."

"Mr. Harrison furnishes a valuable contribution to the subject. It is full of suggestiveness and shrewd a.n.a.lytical criticism. It contains the fruits of wide reading and rich research."--_London Times_.
