Large 4to., gilt, on toned paper, cloth, £2 2s.,

THE OBERLAND AND ITS GLACIERS,

EXPLORED AND ILLUSTRATED BY ICE-AXE AND
CAMERA. By H. B. George, M.A., Editor of "The Alpine
Journal." With Twenty-eight Photographs illustrative of the various
Glacial Phenomena, and of the Scenery described, by E. EDWARDS,
and a Map of the Oberland.

"We have here a clear and very complete summary of glacial phenomena, and of the explanations of them propounded by scientific men. The interest of Mr. George's lucid exposition is greatly enhanced by the illustrations of Mr. Edwards. They are always beautiful, and often exceedingly instructive."-Saturday Review.

Super royal 8vo., cloth, gilt, price 218., FLEMISH RELICS: ARCHITECTURAL, LEGENDARY, AND PICTORIAL, as connected with Public Buildings in Belgium. By F. G. Stephens. Fifteen Photographs, 6in. by 4in., by CUNDALL and FLEMING.

"The fifteen photographs of the best relics of old Flemish architecture which adorn Mr. Frederick Stephens's volume are well worthy the guinea that is the price of the whole book. Yet the book, apart from the pictures, is a handsome one, with a scholarly, well-written series of historical sketches that awaken a right interest in and understanding of the noble monuments depicted."-The Examiner. "A collection of photographs that are at once clear, accurate, and picturesque. The literary portion of the work is executed by Mr. F. G. Stephens with great zeal and ability."-Daily News. "As a gift-book, 'Flemish Relics' may be specially recommended. In it both the author and publisher aim at instruction as well as recreation-a feature which will at once commend itself to the public. To have a book lying on the drawing-room table that will interest both the thoughtful and the careless is something uncommon. The illustrations of Flemish Relics' given in the present volume are of the most exquisite kind. Extremely entertaining as every chapter is, the volume will be equally valued as a book of reference, and it is not likely to share the fate of most Christmas books, namely, to pass out of sight with the festive season and be forgotten."-Morning Post.

"This is a work of great interest and beauty. The photographic pictures are startling in their reality, having all the vividness of nature."-Illustrated London News.

"This really seems to us the best gift-book of the season. The choice of the subject is happy, the photographs are excellent, and the descriptive matter is at once sound and interesting."-The Spectator.

"A more richly-produced book is not often to be seen; and one of higher interest to the lover of the picturesque is not to be conceived."-Nonconformist.

"The book, which is of lasting value, will be a fre. quent source of enjoyment in every room that it adorns."-Examiner.

"What is not familiar to us all is such an exquisite

series of photo-

"Justice without mercy' is the French definition of a photograph. This, however, cannot be said of the newly published volume of Photographs of County Wicklow. These photographs are remarkable for their depth and delicacy of shade and light, and softness of outline. The letterpress, we must add, is in keeping with the photographs, and smacks much less of the guide book style than usual."-Westminster Review.
